Maybe tomorrow night, we’ll see!
Midterms and RL circumstances dictate that I take a break tonight, sorry folks!

Ice Age Alarmism in the 70s – Parallels with Global Warming Alarmism – PJMedia
January 31, 2012 
2 Comments
Not only does it have a huge link bomb of recent blows to man-made global warming theory, it succinctly addresses my problem with the global warming crowd – that of political exploitation AND neatly draws parallels from a ‘impending ice age’ book from the 70s that makes almost the exact same case and solutions as man-made global warming advocates today do!
Good case, good points, great evidence. I maintain that the leaders of the those who suggest extreme measures to combat global warming do so primarily as an excuse to mandate progressivism on all of us, as opposed to a genuine desire to save the planet. Their favored political ideology so conveniently presents a solution to this ‘problem’ and all those who oppose it are just stupid haters. No need to debate, no need to convince, we know what’s right and should just tell everyone what to do and throw a bunch of money to the third world! If no one listens we’re all DOOMED! — The 70’s. And today.
Be sure to read the scans from the book. The parallels borderline on the hilarious. And this serves as a great warning against any political message that uses doomsday rhetoric, hype, and outright belittling of their opposition as dumb as their primary debate tactics.

This is the third article in a series covering my quiet investigation and monitoring of the goings-on at CLICS, a former library on campus that has been taken over by a group of leftist UCSD students. You can find the other parts below:

Critiquing Articles: Raw Markups of a Biased Salon Piece

By request, and since I need to tide you people over with SOMETHING that counts as actual content – observe my note taking process wrought on a poor, unsuspecting terrible bad Salon piece:
My actual analysis is due later this weekend. Enjoy! And yes, I am repeating this process on the SOTU. All 30 pages of it.
NOTE: These are rough and dirty photos crunched by wordpress to be almost unreadable in places :(. Cleaner scans will be presented in my analysis on Sunday!
Obama’s Detachment from Reality: SOTU Analysis from PJMedia
January 27, 2012 0 Comments
I wanted to quickly bring this link to your attention since this has been a busy week – and my analysis of the speech is taking a different tack then most! Breaking it down paragraph by paragraph. That takes awhile. So in the interim, have this one analysis by Barry Rubin from PJMedia.
He describes Obama as a president with an unrealistic agenda that is just not American, and he has it at a time America is facing unprecedented crisis. Very apt description and very much worth the read and some thought.
I SHOULD CAVEAT – I’m not just lazily saying ‘The President is UnAmerican duurrr’ I mean that in the context that his ideas just don’t resonate with the ideology of the country. Obama has far leftist sympathies and notions of economic fairness and social justice in a country that has classically valued the free market and capitalism. The president also continues to flirt with this odd notion of executive supremacy and circumventing congress, bucking the checks and balances built into the very fabric of this nation. America needs to be careful this election.
CLICS and UCSD: Investigating Reclaim CLICS
January 25, 2012 1 Comment
This is going to be a quick post informing you guys of something I’m actively working on right now as well as to serve as a small statement of intent before I go cavorting off to attempt citizen journalism.
I would encourage those of you who haven’t to peek at my article about the break in at CLICS. Things have changed since that writing (1/11/12) and given that the occupy movement is liable to attempt a surge in the Spring, I think it’s important to at least keep tabs on what they’re doing at a major, public university

Obama to Invoke ‘Fairness’ as Campaign Push in State of the Union Address
January 24, 2012 0 Comments
Yet another example of the kind of story that made me scream at my radio.
I have said multiple times that I felt that the 2012 reelection strategy for president Obama would be a class warfare battle. To be more precise, he would take essentially the occupy movement’s stance on things – Republicans are wall street, they are rich and thus terrible, they don’t care about anybody and are heartless, and just want to be big ol’ meanies and hoard their money while they -take- all your benefits away.

Sorry for the Spam!

Hey folks – this teensy tiny posting is aimed largely at those who are currently subscribed to my site.
I didn’t realize stepping my entire archive into and then out of private as part of the SOPA protest would result in your emails getting bombarded with 17-50 emails screaming about new content. That wasn’t my intention.
In the past ~48 hours there have only been four articles, you can scroll down to see them! Sorry about that, I’ll try to avoid that in any future website rebellions.
Also, the new theme is “Andreas09” because I lost the older one – and honestly, I think this one looks…sharper. We’ll see what you guys think.
Cheers,
TheDougem
