It snowed last winter and that proved Global Warming is a hoax.

whoa…

Why is Obama’s name in quotes?

BP Plc has decided not to attach a second blowout preventer on its leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico and efforts to end the flow are over until the relief wells are finished, according to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Thad Allen, who spoke at a press conference today.

That would be another month or two.

Maybe less government regulation would have prevented this disaster.

Government regulation is oppressive.

By many measures, Arizona has become safer since illegal immigrants began pouring into the state in the 1990s.

Crime has dropped all across the country since then, but the decrease has been as fast or faster in Arizona. The rate of property crimes in the state, for example, has plummeted 43% since 1995, compared with 30% nationwide.

That’s no surprise to those who study immigration — both sides, whether for or against increased immigration, agree that immigrants tend to commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans.

Or…not, I guess.

More likely that Arizona conservatives just don’t want any more brown people hanging around.

The fine for getting busted in Arizona without your residency documentation? $500. Care to guess how many white folks are going to be shelling out to pay that fine? I’m gonna go with zero.

Funny how conservatives insist that this issue is about public safety but then immediately decry immigrants not learning English, wanting to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or becoming the dominate culture in some parts of the country.

Congratulations Arizona, you just turned an entire generation of potentially conservative Latinos into Democrat voters. Fingers crossed that conservatives in other states are just as f-ing stupid.

Government officials said late Wednesday night that oil might be leaking from a well in the Gulf of Mexico at a rate five times that suggested by initial estimates.

Original estimate: 42,000 gallons per day

New estimate: 210,000 gallons per day

If the spill continues on for two months that would be 12.6 million gallons.

Exxon Valdez? That was 10.8 million gallons.

Oh well, I’m sure Sarah Palin will head down there and help get that shit cleaned up.

Among the banks that rule Wall Street, Citigroup got a bailout that was bigger than the rest. Now the company is about to pay a king’s ransom for its federal rescue.

The Obama administration is making final preparations to sell its stake in the New York bank, according to industry and federal sources.

At today’s prices, the sale would net more than $8 billion, by far the largest profit returned from any firm that accepted bailout funds and the transaction would be the second-largest stock sale in history.

If only Obama would keep government out of the free market system and let capitalism thrive then we would not have to put up with this $8 billion profit for the citizens of the U.S.

How absurd.
