Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

MSNBC shameless in global “warming” coverage

Ed Morrissey nails the b#stards on this one.  Basically, they run a story on some British teenager who goes to the North Pole to see the “disappearing” Arctic ice that’s melting as a result of global “warming”.  Harmless enough, except that in order to elicit an emotional response, they show cute little penguins floating on a piece of ice.

There’s just one problem with that photo-op: Penguins live at the South Pole, not the North Pole!  You know, the South Pole, where the Arctic ice cap is expanding and not melting?  Explains Ed:

Those, folks, are penguins — which live at the bottom of the earth, as Nigel points out. The “expanses of water that weren’t there before” were actually never there at the North Pole. All 17 species of penguins live in the southern hemisphere.

Why would penguins make the long and rather warm journey across the equator to appear in an MS-NBC story about global warming?

  • Escaping the expanding ice cap at the South Pole
  • Conducting their own investigation into polar-bear migration
  • MS-NBC’s editors don’t know one pole from another

Something got exposed in this broadcast — scientific illiteracy at MS-NBC.

Check out the video clip he’s got (along with a reminder of MSNBC’s melodramatic-and-dishonest climate “catastrophe” reporting), and then repeat after me: Nope…no liberal media bias!

Ayers surfing on Old Glory

Since it occurred seven years ago, I’m gonna go out on a limb and assert that Barry O was slightly older than eight years old like he’s fond of parroting on the campaign trail.  Details:

My good friend Anne Leary of Backyard Conservative, a fabulous North Shore blogger, tipped me off to this picture, which I’ve heard rumors about, of Bill Ayers stepping on a US flag in 2001.

I believe it’s from Chicago Magazine, and it accompanied an article in which Ayers was peddling his terrorist memoir, Fugitive Days.

At the time this photograph was taken, Obama and Ayers were serving together on the board of the Woods Fund. It was in 2001 when Ayers donated $200 to Obama’s State Senate campaign fund.

“Guilty as sin, free as a bird, it’s a great country” is one of the Ayers quotes in the top clipping.

Olbermann’s hypocrisy caught on film

You have to love the guys at Olbermann Watch, for (a) doubling Keith Olbermann’s viewership from one viewer to two; and (b) using the power of video to chronicle what a pathetic hypocritical moonbat Blabberman is.  From OW:

Tonight the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann attacked Rush Limbaugh for a supposed racial “insult”, dutifully parroted from one of Olby’s usual blue blog “news” sources (Think Propaganda). Krazy Keith was up in arms, making Limbaugh “worst person in the world” for his heinous, racist slur against a Hispanic office holder. Oralmann seems to have forgotten his own history, like when he called the Hispanic Attorney General a “house boy”. Unfortunately for Bathtub Boy, Olbermann Watch didn’t forget

You MUST check out the hilarious video montage there!

OH Dems to impeach…a Dem?

In related news, Hell freezes over.  From the AP:

The political battle over whether state Attorney General Marc Dann should leave office has taken on the feel of a standoff.

Dann, 46, refuses to surrender to demands by an army of his own Democratic leaders that he step aside following an admitted affair and a sexual harassment scandal at his office.

Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland said Monday that Dann’s refusal to submit to the pressure — including a threat by the Ohio Democratic Party to revoke its endorsement — means Democrats will move forward to impeach him. Republican House Speaker Jon Husted said that his chamber, which takes the first step in any impeachment, was already reviewing the process.

“I think it’s important for Democrats to send a very clear message that we will clean our own house,” Strickland said. Democrats’ calls for Dann to resign were applauded by Republicans, adding a new twist to Strickland’s reputation for bipartisan cooperation. …

There’s a first time for everything, I guess.

Exit question, albeit somewhat rhetorical: If he had lied about the affair or the sexual harrassment, would Dems have rushed to his defense and claimed that it was a “private matter”, like they have in the not-so-distant past?
