Let's see Pepe squirm out of this one...
Back before AA's and Pepe's hissy-fit, I am pretty sure that I posted articles indicating that Mars was experiencing an anthropogenic wave of hot weather as well and that W had to be behind it all. But if it was Mr Sun all along, then I guess I was wrong.
I wonder if Pepe the Editor of Geophysical Research Letters will retract his similar beliefs....

Tecs craps his pants worrying that the Chicoms git one of these'uns!
REREGURGE so that Tecs can quake in fear! Stay avay from Russian sturgeons, Tyex, all caviar ours!!
Mr Rot at the wheel
No, no, no, says Rot. You can't deport illegals when they're drunk-driving and squashing people like bugs. You can't fire drunk drivers of 18-wheelers. It's all spelled out in the penumbras of the Constitution.
Well-argued piece,
...but I think it's better to have a moderate at the top of the ticket. I wish our moderate wasn't such a damned pinko as Romney.

Yo, Gibson, Boy, What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate
Perry on Obama: How “smart” do you have to be to let the economy get this bad?
Tecs gets huffy and sings boola boola or something.
Classic Obama: patronizing, dishonest, syntactically muddled, and grammatically challenged.
I would therefore agree with the suggestion that in the future, our concern in this area is most appropriately directed at any employer who would even insinuate that someone with Mr. Chen's extraordinary record of academic success might be somehow unqualified for work in a corporate law firm, or that such success might be somehow undeserved.
Typical error in the Ivies and affirmative action circles. Success is confused with achievement. A 12 year gig at U.C. without publishing a page of research. I would like a deal like that.

They are believers wrapping themselves in the rhetoric of science while lacking all the care and dispassionate reasoning we associate with the practice of it.

A winning campaign slogan: it's all a Ponzi scheme
I mean, sure, to a large extent--especially if we keep on spending like drunken sailors, and not producing much. But, but--is this the way to win in 2012?
Joys of quantitative easing
Another reason the Fed has put forward for its new QE reluctance, sotte voce, is politics. The mainstream consensus previously backing QE has collapsed. Republican presidential candidate, Rick Perry, declared that "further money printing" would be "treasonable" – a capital offence.
[..]
Modern capitalism, at its core, relies on the public's trust of fiat money and the sanctity of contract. QE, a form of state-sponsored theft, makes a mockery of both those cardinal concepts.

It's all the NYT's fault that Obama is a moron!
Personal accountability and character matter. Of course Tecs thinks it's all about diplomas from red brick buildings.
A=B, says Al Gore
Gore also took shots at Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has lambasted climate change alarmists on the presidential campaign trail, and other politicians who dare to question the veracity of global warming science. .. Ironically, back during Perry’s days as a Democrat, the Texas governor supported Gore in his 1988 presidential bid.
Tecs' candidate a Dem quisling. Shocka.
Tecs' fruity Gov unites the GOPers exactly as Obama does. Redux, anyone?
Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain found the Massachusetts governor privileged, inauthentic and awkward, according to people involved in the race. Even Fred Thompson, a late entrant, made his disdain for Romney clear.
In the 2007 run-up, the hate “was obvious, and it’s real, and it’s there and it’s palpable,” said one Republican operative involved in the 2008 cycle. “I do see it potentially developing this time here, too.”
[...]
The debates were get-Mitt forums where the hostility was on open display, with Huckabee, McCain and Giuliani all taking turns aiming barbs at Romney.
[...]
“There was a lot of social action between the candidates themselves, not just the staff, again, except for Gov. Romney’s campaign,” he said. “They were always the one at the end of the hall that had the door locked. I would say that in the scheme of the debates, they were playing the role of the Cool Kids.”

Supersymmetry down the tubes?
Terminating the Raptor
Gates in 2009 placed the full weight of his reputation behind his push for the Obama scalebacks.. He was backed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who called ending production of the F-22 a “major step in the right direction.”... Gates, McCain and other foes of relying on the F-22 have placed their faith in Lockheed’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter... The F-35, however, lacks the F-22’s “supercruise” propulsion abilities... “Any notion that an F-35 Joint Strike Fighter or F/A-18E/F Super Hornet will be capable of competing against this Chengdu design in air combat, let alone penetrate airspace defended by this fighter, would be simply absurd.”
Data meets (conservative) dogma
also from your buddies (if you missed the reference in another thread).
Note that I am sparing you the Huffpost & NYT comments on the topic.
Once upon a time, Mr Rot used to just love David Brooks
Former Democrat? Yeah, so are most Texas Republicans. Supported Gore? That’s way back when Gore was sane. Sounds like Rotter's alter ego.
Of course, Anwar has an inalienable right to privacy
.. guaranteed somewhere in the penumbras of the Constitution, which, unlike Article 3, Section 3, always apply.
Anwar al-Awlaki and his contacts with the first two hijackers to enter the U.S. in January 2000 are central to the [9/11] plot. It was at al-Awlaki's mosque in a rundown neighborhood of San Diego where the three men met on a regular basis. [..] On Oct. 10, 2002, Al-Awlaki was held by Customs agents at JFK International airport for three hours until an FBI agent, Wade Ammerman, ordered the cleric's release, even though there was an active warrant for al-Awlaki's arrest on passport fraud.

Of course, Rot will stand up for Guaman
Guaman had been arrested three times since 2007 for driving without a license in Milford, Uxbridge and Attleboro. The Attleboro charge was dismissed. Guaman also served one year of probation from May 2008 to May 2009 for charges that included assault and battery on a police officer and assault on a firefighter after a 2008 incident. [..] "As Worcester County Sheriff I want to be emphatically clear that if the Secure Communities Act was already in place, a criminal alien such as Nicholas Guaman with a prior arrest record could have been identified by the Department of Homeland Security and ICE giving them the opportunity to deport Mr. Guaman in advance of this horrific crime on Aug. 20," Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis said in a statement.
But of course, Massachusetts refuses to share info on illegal immigrants with ICE: Governor Patrick has stated repeatedly that he needs to study the program further before allowing other local law enforcement agencies to participate. His secretary of public safety and security, Mary Beth Heffernan, has expressed concern that Secure Communities might result in the arrest and removal of illegal aliens who have committed lesser offenses, such as burglary, drunk driving, domestic violence, or gang-related misdemeanors.

Asinine wormholes
"If 2 plus 2 equals 5, prove that I am the Pope." Russell replied, "If 2 plus 2 is 5, then 4 is 5; if 4 is 5, then (subtracting three from each side) 1 is 2; you and the Pope are two, therefore you and the Pope are one."

Taleb Bans Statistica da Puta
A mild guy: "The problem is much more complicated than it seems to the casual, mechanistic user who picked it up in graduate school. Statistics can fool you. In fact it is fooling your government right now. It can even bankrupt the system"
Who practices what he preaches: " Professor Bernanke indeed found plenty of economic explanations—what I call the narrative fallacy—with graphs, jargon, curves, the kind of facade-of-knowledge that you find in economics textbooks. (This is the kind of glib, snake-oil facade of knowledge—even more dangerous because of the mathematics—that made me, before accepting the new position in NYU's engineering department, verify that there was not a single economist in the building.)"

The Van Jones economy
Green jobs are the Democratic equivalent of Tree of Life Medicare; they scratch every itch of every important segment of the base and if they actually existed they would be an excellent policy choice. But since they are no more available to solve our jobs problem than the Tree of Life stands ready to make health care affordable, a green jobs policy boils down to a promise to feed the masses on tasty unicorn ribs from the Great Invisible Unicorn Herd that only the greens can see.
