The BBC reports today that the year with the highest global temperatures is, of course, 2008…No? 2007? Nope. 2006? Try again. Actually, 1998 was the warmest year on record. Hmmm, how about that – wasn’t Miami supposed to be underwater by now? Global temperatures are not rising, but there is one thing that is rapidly increasing: Al Gore’s net worth. In 2000, the goofy VP was worth about $2 million. Now he’s worth over $100 million and stands to make much more off new ‘green’ technologies. Just another case of Jack and his magic beans, apparently. ( STORY) 

 

One of the obvious drawbacks about going green are the cars. We all know about the smart car (aka golf cart with a roof) which would lose in an accident with a tricycle, but now there is a new hot green car. Not excited? Here the pitch out: It’s described as “a cross between a scooter and a car.” In case you aren’t ready to order, this will seal the deal: It’s made by Peugeot. Try to contain the excitement!

Defending Obama’s Nobel Award

President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize presented a clear opportunity for bipartisan support on the ridiculousness of it all. But, of course, that’s not what happened. Supporters of the President hit the news networks to talk about how, after just 11 days of his presidency, President Obama ‘deserved’ the award. Donna Brazile says the award is “well deserved,” yet at the same time said he “must earn it.” Don’t spend too long trying to figure out how that one works…it doesn’t. ( STORY)

Eye on the Stimulus!

We haven’t forgotten that the government is still spending $787 billion of our money and we are keeping an eye on where it’s going. Now, with rumblings that Pelosi and the Dems are considering a second stimulus, it’s even more important to understand what a miserable failure the first one was (and still is). Where are your stimulus dollars going? Glenn gives an update in this ‘Eye on the Stimulus’ video blog. ( WATCH)
