Got a Problem? Blame Global Warming!

Posted by Josh on May 20, 2008

If you’ve got a problem in your life, chances are it was the result of Global Warming!

Here’s a list of problems blamed on Global Warming and Climate Change. By the way, when “experts” blame something on Global Warming, just know that they are blaming YOU (because you cause global warming). So in any news story, replace “climate change” or “global warming” with “I” or “you” or your name. Sounds a little more ridiculous when they’re blaming you for itchier poison ivy, aggressive polar bears, or larger reindeer, doesn’t it?
Anyway, here’s the list. Laugh, cry, show your friends, do whatever you want with the list. Just don’t buy into the idea that Global Warming can lead to a profit loss.

The End of Secret Ballots?

Posted by Josh on May 20, 2008

I’ve often wondered where the logic is for banning secret ballots in union elections. Obama and the other socialists in the Democrat Party have long fought for the unionization of America. While unions have done some good in protecting workers, many times they do more harm than good (just ask Detroit). Getting rid of secret ballots just gives unions more power while harming the workers they’re supposed to protect. Read Dr. John Lott’s new op-ed about unions and secret balloting. He does a much better job explaining.

Democrats accuse Republicans of favoring “Big Oil,” “Big Tobacco,” and “Big Pharmaceutical,” but why doesn’t the Mainstream Media ever refer to the Democrats love of “Big Union”?

In Kentucky, Clinton is projected to win 37 delegates with 65% of the vote. Obama is projected to win 14 delegates with 30% of the vote. The Oregon results aren’t in yet, but Obama was predicted to win according to polls leading up to the primary. Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that Obama has crossed the threshold to clench a majority of pledged delegates. The race isn’t over yet, but it’s not looking good for Mrs. Clinton. Check back for updates.
