Dave Barry's Year in Review

Classic, funny, and well worth the long read:

Miami Herald: It was a year of Hope -- at first in the sense of ``I feel hopeful!'' and later in the sense of ``I hope this year ends soon!''

It was also a year of Change, especially in Washington, where the tired old hacks of yesteryear finally yielded the reins of power to a group of fresh, young, idealistic, new-idea outsiders such as Nancy Pelosi. As a result Washington, rejecting ``business as usual,'' finally stopped trying to solve every problem by throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at it and instead started trying to solve every problem by throwing trillions of taxpayer dollars at it....

Depressed over Obamacare

So Ben Nelson sold out and we will likely have Obamacare. The notion of a "blue dog" Democrat is now purely a myth... like the unicorn.

I imagine the House Democrats will sign onto any bill. Sure it's not what the liberals wanted 100% (no public option), but that doesn't mean that they can't add a public option in 3 years... especially after the current bill makes insurance premiums skyrocket. No abortion? No problem... they'll just get the courts to rule it unconstitutional.

Pay No Attention to the Men Behind the Curtain

I've always known that man made Global Warming was a load of bull, but Climategate may finally provide proof to the outside world. The elitist media are trying to bury it, but here's to hoping it gets wings.

Many people, even in the power industry, are unaware of Climategate. I guess the media is too busy speculating over Tiger Woods to investigate the fraud behind the "science" that is seeking to tax people heavily for their energy usage.

Here's an excellent recap of Climategate:
