Y2Kyoto: The Fine Art Of Environmental Appeasement
In his conversation with The News editorial board last week, [Rep. John Dingell – D] made clear his objections to his own party’s misguided green agenda even as he touted his own environmental record in shepherding the 1990 Clean Air Act to passage. As head of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Dingell is determined to pass GW legislation, but “I got to write a bill, and I got to write something that will work.”
The Clean Air Act, he says, is a prize example of a bill that worked. But “worked” is a relative term. When asked if the act de-acidified northeast lakes (the headliner problem that sold the1990 bill), Dingell frankly admits that he has no idea.
“I haven’t heard much about it,” he goes on. “It’s a long term problem. But now that they have legislation, the environmentalists have moved on to other things.”

“Which gets us back to the big fact of the day: Terrorism works.”
Bryan updates an Allahpundit post at Hot Air;
At least a subsection of the press in the US is self-censoring (again) out of fear of offending Muslims, hoping to prevent another cartoon jihad or at least keep themselves out of the way when another one erupts. They wouldn’t similarly self-censor for any other group, to the point of taking a couple of cartoon strips down to the local preacher or rabbi for approval as they did with the Islamic experts, because no one thinks the preachers or rabbis are going to spark a full-blown riot over any cartoons. Many people, like Chris Hedges and Andrew Sullivan, like to ride the “Christianist” threat to generate traffic or a best-seller, but even they don’t really believe it.
Which gets us back to the big fact of the day: Terrorism works.

Tory! Tory! Tory!
The series traces the history and ideas behind Thatcherism – and how Britain was transformed, painfully. […] it’s interesting to revisit the dark days of Britain in the late Seventies, with power cuts, unburied dead and ossified state-run monopolies somehow billions in debt.
There’s a video teaser and links here.

Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wall?
The same old Sask NDP
What lies behind their friendly new fear ‘n smear?*
Related: If you aren’t properly alarmed by the big bad Wall, the Regina Leader Post slaps a hood on him. Following a time-honoured election tradition, we are offered not one, but two articles by Veronica Rhodes on the past and “present” Ku Klux Klan in Saskatchewan. complete with obligatory references to “conservatives”.
Which is, of course, the purpose for which they were written.
“There at the first corner, I see it.”

What an odd country Britain has become
This story is creepy on so many levels:
Two young women who were dragged before a court for allegedly flashing their breasts at a CCTV camera have had the case against them dropped, the Crown Prosecution Service said today.
Abbi-Louise Maple and Rachel Marchant, both 21, were accused of exposing their chests on Worthing seafront, West Sussex, on July 16.
A CCTV operator summoned police and the pair were charged with outraging public decency.
I Believe in Evolution
Let’s go back to the beginning:
Division of the human family into two distinct groups began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains in the summer and would go to the beach and live on fish in winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented by Man to get to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.
