Suicide Cult Meets Death Cult?

My latest article on Breitbart Media's Big Journalism...

"In Britain, Media Frets As Suicide Cult Greets Death Cult"

Judging by the exceptions he recently proposed for altering the Miranda warnings, even Attorney General Eric Holder believes that “the Constitution is not a suicide pact,” a truth first stated in 1949 by Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, and made new again in our time.  Meanwhile over in Britain, this week they have a new Prime Minister. They also have a Queen. They have Big Ben. The have, in Chelsea, a world-class soccer club owned by a Russian oligarch. They have an honorable tradition of tolerance, free speech and fair play. But they do not have a constitution. Recently, though, a British judge, John Mitting, signed a suicide pact between his nation and violent Islamic extremists when he ruled that two Pakistani men, one a known al-Qaeda operative, could not be deported due to the possibility of their being harmed if they were sent home....

Climategate, Following the Money

My new piece, "Climategate UK, Following the Money, All Three Trillion Euros of It," is now up at Big Journalism, the latest edition to the Breitbart media empire.  As I say:

There’s a question oft-posed by the proponents of global warming… or of “climate change,” as the new term of art has it, thus allowing warmists to claim both the snowstorm now blanketing America’s East Coast, as well as the melting of that snow, as evidence for their theory.

“To what end?” the warmists ask the skeptics.  Or, in the lingua franca of conspiracy theorists everywhere: “Cui bono, my friend, cui bono?”

Well, lots of people are benefiting from the practical implications of this theory....

"A Warren Beatty Drive-By"

Patrick Goldstein's "Big Picture" column asks "How many women did Warren Beatty sleep with?"

Goldstein ventures the following:

Biskind estimates the bedded-by-Beatty women figure at '12,775, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on.' (If anyone can offer a good definition of what might constitute a Warren Beatty "drive-by," we'd love to hear it.)

A "Warren Beatty drive-by"? That's easy. 

A "Warren Beatty Drive-by" is akin to what was known in the early 1990s as a "Little Rock Jog-by," following the practice of a certain one-time Arkansas governor who would push off for an early morning run, cruise by the ranch home of his "Floral" mistress for a quickie, continue some thirty minutes later to the local McDonalds franchise, then return home for shower. Time spent: 50 minutes, distance covered .60 miles.

It is the distant cousin of the "Third Avenue Crafty," wherein an Upper East Side, NY, husband and father, surrounded by his family, slips away from a restaurant table, on the pre-text of an important work call to grab a quick cigarette on the sidewalk, two doorways down.

A Climate Deal from Copenhagen? Don't Hold Your CO2

Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company, on the climate change conference:

Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfill the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen.

CO2 - That Most Persecuted Molecule

Carbon dioxide is a pollutant? According to some (link below).

Plants have depended on CO2 since the beginning of life on earth.

When an elephant exhales a tree nearby breathes and smiles.

Who will stand and speak for CO2? Who will speak for trees?

Confirmed in the UK: Global Warming IS Like a Religion

This morning's lead story in the UK's Independent trumpets a landmark ruling that allows employees holding "green" views to sue for unfair dismissal:

"Employees who raise concerns about their company's environmental practices won the right to legal redress yesterday after a judge ruled that green beliefs deserved the same protection in the workplace as religious convictions."

Elsewhere, Nobel Laureate Al Gore, stung this week by criticism in the New York Times and elsewhere over his playing the role both of advocate for the belief in global warming as well as investor in cap-n-trade schemes, struck back yesterday by launching a media campaign... in the UK.

Gore, who's been labeled on blogs a green "profiteer," appeared on BBC's flagship "Newsnight" interview program, as well as BBC Radio 1's morning news program.

One wonders... will green advocates under fire around the world make their appeal to the UK media, and in UK courts, much as do libel complainants?
