  1. Washington D.C. on Obama Reveals Climate Change Plan · · Score: -1, Troll

    There should be a rule that whenever there is a power shortage attributable to power plants being shut down due to government regulations, Washington D.C. is the first place that is blacked out.

  2. Re:What does he plan to do... on Obama's Climate Plans Face Long Fight · · Score: 1

    How is any reconstruction not "cherry picked"?

    Where would you have it start? At the end of the ice age? Why not at the end of Ediacaran period? No? How about Permian? What period would you start with and why?

    It's ALL cherry picked to support the conclusion they want to reach.

  5. Re::3 on Transgendered Folks Encountering Document/Database ID Hassles · · Score: 1

    Decades from now genealogists will be pulling their hair out because will be practically impossible to determine lineage. While that may sound trivial, how do you track genetic disease when the genetics are obscured by sex change operations, artificial insemination, records that don't accurately record biological parents, etc?

    You go change it.

    I'm not going to change it, I'll get fried.

    We are stopped, no juice.

    No Way!

  7. What A Fucking Mess on Snowden Is Lying, Say House Intelligence Committee Leaders · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The Federal Government has been taken over by and is being run by world class morons at every level. From the President to the idiot at the Post Office who takes his lunch when there are 30 people in line.

  8. Re:i bet they all make money from it on Pandora's Promise and the Problem of "Solutionism" · · Score: 1

    Out comes the Tin Foil hat.

    Obama has the IRS looking up the ass of anything that smacks of Republicans or Conservatives and he can't get the EPA to do the Envirowackos bidding?

    Not buying it.

    Of course there's this.

    Funny how that study is 2 years old and we haven't heard anything more about it. Did it pass peer review? Fail? Do you even know or care?

    So fuck off and die sonny boy.

    Of course if it were true, the EPA would be all over it since I can't piss in a puddle in my backyard without some EPA brown shirt fining me.

  13. Re:i bet they all make money from it on Pandora's Promise and the Problem of "Solutionism" · · Score: 2

    They believe it affects the water table and has been shown to affect seismic activity as well.

    As far as I know, there is none of those legendary peer review studies that actually shows it, much less a consensus.

  14. Schadenfreude on Pandora's Promise and the Problem of "Solutionism" · · Score: 0

    You have to admit there is a certain amount of Schadenfreude when watching the environmentalists trying to reconcile the fact that nuclear is the only practical solution to AGW and power needs and their distaste for nuclear.

  15. What a fucking Mess on Majority of Americans Say NSA Phone Tracking Is OK To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 1

    What a fucking Mess this is.

    group is ineffective, loathed by all other departments, and runs at roughly twice the budget of what the CFO has deemed appropriate for the company's size and industry.

    And the IRS was not politically targeting conservative groups.

    Funny how people are so quick to admit they are idiots when they are caught doing something they shouldn't be doing.
