It’s that time of year again, time for newspapers and magazines to start floating their “top stories of the year” lists and Time Magazine has a whole “Top of Everything” list with which to thrill us. But it is Time’s Top U.S. News Stories list that deserves some closer scrutiny because on [...]

Alternate title: “man who said his ascendency stopped the rise of the seas and healed the earth says he didn’t overpromise”
(The Politico) Barack Obama offered a spirited defense of his presidency in an interview that aired Sunday on “60 Minutes,” framing the 2012 election as a “contrast in visions.”

You know a government project is headed for disaster when even the New York Times becomes skeptical about it.
In a recent article, the “newspaper of record” interviewed several public officials, transportation experts and historians who raise “serious objections” about the viability of California’s High-Speed Rail project — a project created by a [...]

So, the official part of COP17 in Durban, S.A., is over, and the delegates are taking fossil fueled flights (in lots of private planes) home. What did they accomplish? Basically, they kicked the can down the road
(AP) A U.N. climate conference reached a hard-fought agreement Sunday on a far-reaching program meant to set [...]
The obesity warriors strike again: “Diabetes risk of two takeaways in a week (and women are more in danger)”

The finding below is almost certainly a social class effect. Many middle class people “wouldn’t be seen dead” in McDonalds whereas working class people tend to appreciate its good value. The fact that the McDonald’s munchers were also fatter also suggests that it is the characteristics of working class people that [...]

Warmists who kill lots of trees to publish a newspaper just can’t help themselves
(Washington Post) Each side offers what it considers compelling evidence.
Real fir — along with pine and spruce — has benefits beyond a fresh smell that says Christmas, supporters say. The trees’ purchase encourages farmers to keep planting acres that absorb carbon dioxide [...]

Prof. Parkin is an industrious little blighter. He has taken seventeen supposed risk factors one by one and done a meta-analysis of the effects of each one. So he has a total of seventeen journal articles in the one issue of the British Journal of Cancer.
His industry did not however seem to include [...]

We read:
“Atheists and radical church-state separatists have taken particular offense to the continued uttering of the Pledge of Allegiance. To these individuals, the words “under God” have no place in the public square, even when utterances are voluntary in nature.
Now, there’s a new epicenter in the debate over the Pledge. Following the 10th [...]

As usual, the ACLU is an opponent of free speech
“The ACLU has managed to block North Carolina from issuing license plates with a “Choose Life” message because the state legislature declined to also issue “Choose Death” plates.
U.S. District Judge James Fox didn’t put it that way in his Nov. 28 injunction, but he did agree [...]

(The Politico) Was there science, and not just politics, behind the Obama administration’s decision to stop young teens from getting the morning-after pill without a prescription? Probably not.
Will it work as a [...]

Obama should stick with talking about how to campaign, something he knows about, and leave the economic talks to people who are more qualified. Like 4th graders
(Washington Examiner) President Obama said that he will delay his vacation and keep Congress in session until the passage of his desired payroll tax cut and unemployment [...]
Jose Antonio Vargas: Being an Illegal Alien Made Me… a Better Reporter?

Jose Antonio Vargas is the perfect example of media bias. He presents himself as both an activist for illegal immigrants and a “journalist.” He’s uniquely suited to this claim in today’s PC world, too, because he is himself an “undocumented American,” as he styles it. And in a new interview he also [...]

Like nearly every conservative in America today I am unimpressed by the current crop of GOP nominees for president and feel they all have major flaws — especially the two frontrunners Newt and Romney, both of whom have major deficits as far as staunch conservatives are concerned. But at this point I’ve [...]
