Stephen Crowder hasn’t made a video in a while… and he still hasn’t. Instead, he sent this out saying it was worthwhile. I can’t recall if we’ve mentioned the blatant lies of Max Blumenthal against O’Keefe in an attempt to smear Andrew Breitbart, but this video covers it well. This guy shouldn’t be involved with any journalism beyond ranting in the comment section of HuffPo.

Clarification
Despite what Basil and Chris (websterglobe) have implied, having too many white people involved in something does NOT automatically make Keith Olbermann hate it:

IMAO Reader Theater: “OwlGore Meets the Law”
duffymyver presents: “OwlGore Meets the Law”
Take a hippie-punch at fame by creating your own IMAO-worthy video at Xtranormal (“If you can type, you can make movies“). Send a link to harvolson-at-gmail.com and I’ll give it a look. If it isn’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, I’ll post it and let the readers throw roses and/or tomatoes at you.
California Secession
So Arnold Schwarzenegger is going after the Tea Party. Well, California is kinda in a big hole, and they can’t do anything about it, so you’d expect them to lash out at everyone. There’s really nothing anyone can do, so I’m starting to hear talk of secession–not from California itself, but from the federal government, because if they could just plain get rid of California, that would be at least one less liability to worry about. They figure they’ll just have a press conference with Arnold, and it will seem that he’s going along with it, because no one can understand what he’s saying.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: “We are here because California has announced its plans to secede.”
ARNOLD: “What? What are you saying? You are not doing the sense-making!”
FEDS: “We’ve decided that California’s position is too entrenched, so it will be a quagmire to fight and take it back.”
ARNOLD: “No! We surrender! You take us back!”
FEDS: “So we will no longer be involved with California, and they will be fully autonomous.”
ARNOLD: “No! This wrong! You are crazy person!”
FEDS: “Good luck, Nation of California. We’ll check up on you in ten years or so.”
ARNOLD: “What? Hear me now and understand me as soon as possible: We want back! Take us back! Or at least let me resign as governor and flee the state first!”
And just like that, America is closer to being in the black.
Sea Levels
So the sea levels have stopped rising.
“Sorry. Thought we were all going to die, but I forgot to carry the one. I don’t know what’s happening.”
So the Science! is settled about global warming, but the facts are still in flux. Don’t know if the sea levels are rising, don’t know if it was actually hotter in the medieval period than it is today, and not even quite sure if temperatures are warming right now.
Now, before you’re all like, “Science! is stupid! I don’t know why we ever use Science! for anything!”, just know this is normal Science! practice. Data and theories are always having to be reexamined and are always disputed. It’s just this usually happens in the background about things we don’t care about like gluons and whatnot. The difference here is that scientists are all wanting us to overthrow our economy based on their shaky understanding of things. The proper response to that is to grab the scientist’s glasses, throw them on the ground, stomp on them, and shout, “Know your place, Poindexter!”
I don’t know if we’ll ever sort out enough of the Science! from the politics to ever do anything about global warming, though. Liberals have clung to Science! like those facehuggers from Aliens, as they think it’s yet another way to defeat political opponents without having to actually discuss their own sucky ideology. It’s kinda like calling everyone “Racist!” who disagrees with them, except it’s “Anti-Science!” Come November, the Science! will be settled on how effective that is.
Curling Update: It’s Over!
Things started to look so well. There was some intense controversy after the Skip was benched on the men’s team for one game and then moved to third, but it seemed to work. We won both our men’s and women’s games on Friday and Saturday. But then came Sunday. The women were slaughtered by Canada, the men weren’t able to capitalize on any opening Great Britain (Scotland) gave them, and the women had to concede to the Swedes. Three lost games Sunday means both teams are now 2 and 5. I don’t know how to crunch the numbers there, but I don’t even think it’s possible for them to make it to the medal round with two games left to go.
Our problem is that we don’t fully fund our curling teams. We have amateur curlers and an obviously amateur president and no one takes us seriously right now. We need a real program to make sure our people are prepared for curling next Olympics, or we might as well face the facts that the era of American exceptionalism is over.
The men play undefeated Canada this morning. Let’s at least go for a moral victory.
