Wouldn't you just know that six other Democrats are NOT going to be investigated by the ethics committee! Three Democrats who can't avoid being investigated and three Republicans have been "reported out," ie, they may not be investigated, but they were LOOKED at. Joe Wilson is one. The most thing wrong that Joe alledgedly did was buy some trinkets for some vets back home. 12 Dollar trinkets.

Remember, we warned that all those new "honesty rules" would come back to bite Democrats, too. Well, here it is. Too many rules, too complicated a scenario.

Ooooops! Another Liberal - this time an eco-freak - has gone postal. The ONLY person one should feel sorry for is the horribly embarrassed family of this deranged man. This is not to say that everyone in the ecology movement is crazy - a good conservative is a good conserver of nature that won't kill him first. But one always hears about the uber-conservative person with his guns and Bible going wacko, but it never seems to happen. You might be interested to know that the count is now 18 to 3 in favor of the liberal wackos going bonkers, since 1980. So, who's the real bozo on this bus?

Hurricane Earl is following a very familiar pattern.

Not Hurricane Hugo - This Time..

Saw this picture on NewsBusters.org.

The following is a rumor, only, but it's really big, if true. Yesterday's Conference Board consumer confidence numbers may be fake. We have two sources, both of whom refuse, adamantly, to be named, for fear of getting fired, that the numbers have been fudged by at least 0.4%. This may not seem like a lot, but in today's market, it's huge. One source also alleged that the surveyor for the Conference Board report, at one point, simply stopped calling and started filling in random numbers. Our staff and I hope this is not true. Not that the Confidence Report has ever really been spot-on - not enough data to really mean anything. But one thought has crossed my mind - What if George Soros, who is well known to be trying to corner the gold market, is driving the report through his influence with the Conference Board? We do know that he has been short selling the stock and bond markets on several levels. If true, we'll see him continue to sell into the rallies he's helping to cause. And remember, NONE of this market manipulation, if true, is illegal, and anybody who believes these surveys are doing so at their own risk.

Don't think it can't happen, The Hunt brothers tried it in the 70's with the silver market, but was submarined by new silver deposit discoveries.

Goodbye August! Come back when you can be more constructive, please. I intend to teach through Obama's Speech, tonight. What can he say that's new? He'll spend more of our tax money on stupid ideas? And it's all Bushes fault. No thankyou. But, hey now - A major TUNEOUT, reported honestly nationwide, might give him the idea that we don't like him much anymore, and could he please, go away, now? Let Rush and Glenn and Bobby Mac watch it and report on it. We'll be at a teach-in or maybe just watching RFD cattle sales on satellite TV.

Enviroporn. That's what scientists are now calling most of the assertions of so-called environmentalists. Anthropoogenic global warming, DDT, you name it, some moron claiming that the end of the world is nigh and that humans can keep it from happening, has filled the airwaves and paper-pages with ideas that have nothing to do with fact or science.

A perfect example of that is an article from the Post and Courier in Charleston. Trumpeted the P&C reporter, Sammy Fretwell, who originally wrote it for thestate.com:

"New details of Lake Wateree fish contamination show cancer-causing PCBs were found in 65 percent of the fish tested by state officials last winter."

From the Silent Spring lie of Rachel Carson, to the "mis-placed data" of Anthropogenic Global Temperature Increase, one claim after another has failed to pan out. And we're not even counting college doctoral theses which are almost always best guess and somebody else's actual footwork. The same is true of PCBs. There is still a $1,000,000 bounty offered for absolute proof that PCBs cause cancer. It's NEVER been claimed. Now why do you think that is?

Nevertheless, irresponsible people continue to seduce reporters, who don't have the time to investigate their stories, into repeating calumny after calumny. And what reader wouldn't believe it, after it's printed? I'd believe the Post and Courier, even if they told me Jesus had come again and was living in a straw hut on Sullivan's Island, all of which is impossible, unless He had bribed the housing police, who, we all know, are above reproach.

Which, in the end, is why it's called "Enviroporn." It hasn't the.. "slightest redeeming social importance." [Miller v. California, 1973]

Summer is slipping away. If we are experiencing anything like the pattern of 1995 (which has been pretty right on, so far), however, we could still have September highs above 100 all cross the Palmetto State. Greenville, for instance, had unofficial high temps of 105 for three days in the middle of September, and then cooled off into the 70's a week later.
