ASH WEDNESDAY THE CHRISTIAN FAITHFUL ARE REMINDED THAT ALL IS DUST But the liberal faithful see all of their idols turning to dust.
1. ERIC HOFFER "The monstrous evils of the twentieth century have shown us that the greediest money grubbers are gentle doves compared with money-hating wolves like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, who in less than three decades killed or maimed nearly a hundred million men, women, and children and brought untold suffering to a large portion of mankind."
2. More trouble looms for the IPCC. The body may need to revise statements made in its Fourth Assessment Report on hurricanes and global warming. A statistical analysis of the raw data shows that the claims that global hurricane activity has increased cannot be supported.
3. What is a Global Warming True Believer to do now that their false god is melting away? One is reminded of the old adage of Chesterton’s: “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing—they believe in anything.”
4. Just 6% of Americans believe the $787 “stimulus” boondoggle created any jobs according to a recent New York Times/CBS poll.
5. Indonesian authorities removed a statue of President Barack Obama from a park in the capital Jakarta due to a public backlash when it was erected The bronze statue, inspired by a childhood photograph of a 10-year-old. Barack Obama in shorts with a butterfly perched on an outstretched thumb, was moved on Monday to the nearby school the US president attended as a child. It had been targeted by critics since it was erected in the Jakarta park last December.
6. Left wing prof. Goes on killing spree. Headline you will never see. the Boston Herald:
A family source said Bishop... was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting
Labels: Amy Bishop, Instapundit, left-wing ideology
7. Thomas Sowell : Intellectualism has become the readiness, willingness and ability to call dangerous things safe and safe things dangerous.
Do you think we see a lot of that still today with the attitudes toward international law?
Oh, absolutely. I mean we're doing nothing that is likely to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. If terrorists with nuclear weapons don't focus your mind, nothing will. Yet, not only are we doing nothing, we're doing elaborate, clever nothing. We're going to the United Nations, we're holding conferences. There are resolutions being passed. You know -- a lot of busy work -- none of which has the slightest chance of deterring Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
