Party Of No

Keystone fails in the Senate. So long Mary Landrieu;

It could also determine the fate of embattled Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, who is pushing the legislation in an uphill battle to fend off a GOP challenger in a runoff election next month.

The Sound Of Settled Science

The most recent mtDNA study we stumbled across, is from our perspective the final nail in the coffin of the Out-of-Africa theory. Once, twice and a third time over, separate genetic studies of Homo sapien sapiens, dingoes and now song birds, stand united in ascribing the same place of origin: Australia.
The genetic facts in these equations are incontestable, the distinctive and unique nature of the mitochondrial DNA of both the dingo and Mungo Man (WLH 3) cannot be matched to any like species on this planet.
[…]
The insurmountable problem these genetic studies creates is obvious, if both Australian dingo and human are unique, the question that demands to be answered relates to how can it be that there is common belief that Original Australians came from Africa and the ancestor of the dingo lived in Southern India? What is puzzling is that despite the imposing evidence to the contrary, every text, university and lecturer will earnestly claim that the Out-of-Africa theory is an unquestionable fact. Equally, from the same department their books assure us that all dogs, canines and wolves share the same ancestry, but that is not true in the dingoes’ case. All of this smells like bad science and lazy thinking, but it gets worse, there are birds in the air to reconsider and reposition.

An interesting read.

Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
January, 2013; How Obama Won the Social Media Battle in the 2012 Presidential Campaign
November, 2014: 60% of Obamacare Facebook comments posted by fewer than 100 profiles
It doesn’t matter if you “win” the social media battle. What matters is that you convince an incurious, supportive media that you’ve won. That’s why they spend so much effort on faking it.

Riding Mass Transit Is Like Inviting 20 Random Hitchhikers Into Your Car

Calgary:

The girl was at a bus stop near the corner of Taradale Drive and Taracove Road N.E. at 11:30 p.m. Friday, when the men — unknown to her — attacked her and dragged her to a nearby alley before sexually assaulting her, Oncescu said.
The men later walked the teenager by force to a home in a nearby community, which police have not identified, where she was repeatedly sexually assaulted for hours. She was also beaten with a weapon.

Y2Kyoto: Germany Abandons CO2 Targets

Through the magic of Google Translate;

Hamburg – The grand coalition is planning a departure from their previous climate protection goals. Notwithstanding any other public protestations Federal Economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) abandoned the requirement for an internal round, saving at least 40 percent of CO2 emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2020.
“It’s clear that the goal is not to keep,” the Vice Chancellor said to information obtained by SPIEGEL, adding: “We can not from now on regardless of the coal out.”


Maxed Out Mama
(whose blog you should bookmark): The Germans can either shut down their nuclear plants or coal, but not both. And due to the high investments in wind and solar, in order to keep the grid voltages stable they have had to issue orders to keep coal plants that were due to be shut down open, plus pay the companies to do so. So they are not in a good position to further cut CO2 emissions – increasing dependence on coal won’t permit it. They are due to shut down more nuclear plants within the decade, and when that happens the excrement really hits the fan.
