Chuck Norris to Congress … GET OFF YOUR GAS AND DO SOMETHING!!! … The People Say Drill

America … high gas prices, have you had enough yet?

I do not usually follow or recommend  the advice of actors when it comes to government policy; however, in Chuck Norris’ case I will make an exception. Gas prices have reached critical mass and its about time that Congress do something. We have not had an energy policy in the United States in 30 years. Republicans and Democrats have done nothing. Its about time “do nothing” politicians actually work for “We the People”.

For some reason it is more important to protect a postage stamp sized piece of land on a tennis court in Anwr than it is to save Americans from going poor. Congress, Obama and McCain best get a clue. The American people have just about had it. Recent polls have showed a dramatic increase in favor of drilling in Anwr, increased to 57 percent from 41 percent.  There is only so much conservation that can be done. Alternative forms of energy need to be developed; however, that is not the present case scenario. Anwr is not the only option; however, it is the most obvious and a start.

So what is the present policy, Save the world at the risk of losing America? That’s brilliant. Or is the policy, support terrorists and be extorted by OPEC when the US has its own supply of oil it refuses to drill for?

However, Chuck Norris is not saying anything any different than many of us have not already thought or said … CONGRESS, GET OFF YOUR GAS AND DRILL!!!  For heavens sake,do something. Justify the fact that you actually work for “We the People”. Every member of Congress for the past 30 years should be ashamed of themselves. This is a must read, common sense approach article. It is about time “We the People” bring these elected officials to task. Enough of this nonsense of politicians arguing over trivial BS. This is a real issue and there best be some real answers. If not … Vote them all out of office.

Average Americans literally are driving to the poorhouse on financial fumes. With gas at $4 per gallon, roughly two cars in every household, and the average annual gas usage at 700 gallons, you do the math. Americans are being forced to use their hard-earned money that once put food in their stomachs to put petroleum in their tanks and to drive the exact same distances they drove a decade ago for four to five times the price.

As oil and gas prices skyrocket, Congress continues to play the blame game. In April 2006, with the Democrats poised to take over Congress with Nancy Pelosi at the helm, she released a statement saying, “With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress.” She followed that with a commitment, “Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging.” So, has the Democrats’ common-sense plan worked? Average gas prices were about $2.50 a gallon at the time. Now they’re $4 a gallon and rising. Some crackdown plan.

Congress sits by and does nothing but blame each other while American’s are driving themselves to the poor house. Why the hell are we dependent on foreign oil when we have an abundance of oil right in out own back yard?

Though we have more oil in the shale of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming than there is in the Middle East (800 billion barrels), liberals and environmentalists have made it illegal to touch it.

Al Gore … Global Warming? … Jupiter in the Balance … Are Earthlings to Blame?

Here is some more fodder for the global warming crowd. Rumor has it that Al Gore is planning a trip to Jupiter to discuss the issue of global warning and humans effects on Jupiter’s environment. I knew humans should not have started colonizing on Jupiter.

Leave your comments as to who Al Gore should blame for the increase in temperature on Jupiter.

Explanation:  Now, Jupiter has a third red spot, again produced from a smaller whitish storm. All three are seen in this image made from data recorded on May 9 and 10 with the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The spots extend above the surrounding clouds and their red color may be due to deeper material dredged up by the storms and exposed to ultraviolet light, but the exact chemical process is still unknown. For scale, the Great Red Spot has almost twice the diameter of planet Earth, making both new spots less than one Earth-diameter across. The newest red spot is on the far left (west), along the same band of clouds as the Great Red Spot and is drifting toward it. If the motion continues, the new spot will encounter the much larger storm system in August. Jupiter’s recent outbreak of red spots is likely related to large scale climate change as the gas giant planet is getting warmer near the equator.

More Global Warming from The People’s Republic of Vermont … Snow on Memorial Day

Memorial Day is Vermont … any one want to go skiing?

A note to Al Gore … here are some more examples of global warming as fresh snow fell in the Green Mountains of the People’s Republic of Vermont. Or are we supposed to believe that snow fall is a result of global warming as well? Al, its not easy being green, especially in the Green Mountains I guess.

There’s nothing like a little fresh snow and lots of old mud to liven up an early summer hike.

Which is exactly what people are likely to find near the peaks of Vermont’s higher mountains this Memorial Day weekend, due to the snowy winter and some fresh flurries this week.

At 5 p.m. Tuesday, 18 inches of snow remained on the ground near the top of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. The snow cover includes some of the 3.5 inches of fresh fluff that descended on the mountaintop Monday. More light snow is likely over northern Vermont summits today and Thursday, the National Weather Service in South Burlington said. (Burlington Free Press)

Looks like weather patterns are actually cyclical in Vermont. Go figure. You mean in 1945 it snowed as well in Burlington, VT? Could it actually be that weather patterns are caused by the forces of nature?

Hey Al Gore … More Global warming … Coolest April in 11 Years

Hey Al Gore … far be it from some climate facts getting in the way of your global warming agenda. As reported by NOAA, that right wing organization, April 2008 was the coolest on record in 11 years. Could it possibly be that this is just nature acting in a cyclical manner? Do you really think that man is any match to the power of nature?

The average temperature in April 2008 was 51.0 F. This was -1.0 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 29th coolest April in 114 years. The temperature trend for the period of record (1895 to present) is 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.

April also ranked the 29th coldest since record keeping began 114 years ago

Al Gore … One Trick Pony … Global Warming the Cause as Thousands Dead after Myanmar Cyclone

As the death toll rises in Burma where deaths could top 50,000, Al Gore cannot resist the chance at media exposure. Al Gore, could you possibly have some class? Could we maybe first find and bury the dead in Myanmar before you stick your mug in front of the media and blame the cyclone on global warming? Have a heart and a brain. There is something really inherently wrong and sick about using such a terrible crisis for your own agenda and gain. Might, Al? Way to go out on a limb and say what you really mean. Mr. Blame all on global warming … is it, or isn’t it the cause?

“… we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”

Al … did you know that it was also Global warming that caused you to lose the 2000 Presidential Election.

Using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a strategy for many global warming activists, and it was just a matter of time before someone found a way to tie the recent Myanmar cyclone to global warming.

Former Vice President Al Gore in an interview on NPR’s May 6 “Fresh Air” broadcast did just that. He was interviewed by “Fresh Air” host Terry Gross about the release of his book, “The Assault on Reason,” in paperback.

“And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated,” Gore said. “And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”

In the world of the “One Trick Pony” Al Gore … the cause of everything is Global Warming. Because we have never, ever had a volcanic eruption, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, tropical storms, tsunamis, tornado or any other natural disaster in the entire history of the earth. But Al Gore knows better and more than all of us and scientists who dispute his notions of global warming and its causes on weather.

Global Warming? NOAA: Coolest Winter for US & World Since 2001 … Weather Channel Founder Wants to Sue Al Gore for Fraud

Hey Al Gore … Its not easy being Green. Could All Gore get sued for fraud by former Weather Channel founder? Wouldn’t this be an interesting way to get a legitimate dialog going on “global warming” without just having to hear one sides version. Far be it that fluctuations in in the earth’s temperature be naturally occurring.

So what say you Al Gore? So is the fact that the temperature decreased also an effect of global warming? The average temperature across both the contiguous U.S. and the globe during climatological winter (December 2007-February 2008) was the coolest since 2001, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.

In the contiguous United States, the average winter temperature was 33.2°F (0.6°C), which was 0.2°F (0.1°C) above the 20th century average – yet still ranks as the coolest since 2001. It was the 54th coolest winter since national records began in 1895.

The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the 16th warmest on record for the December 2007-February 2008 period (0.58°F/0.32°C above the 20th century mean of 53.8°F/12.1°C). The presence of a moderate-to-strong La Niña contributed to an average temperature that was the coolest since the La Niña episode of 2000-2001.

Weather Channel founder, John Coleman, wants to sue Al Gore for fraud, hoping a legal debate will settle the global-warming debate once and for all.

John Coleman, who founded the cable network in 1982, suggests suing for fraud proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits.

“Is he committing financial fraud? That is the question,” Coleman said.

“Since we can’t get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue,” Coleman said. “I’m confident that the advocates of ‘no significant effect from carbon dioxide’ would win the case.”

Hey NBC … Leave Football Alone … SHUT UP AND BROADCAST SPORTS … Shameful Green Stunt

NBC … LEAVE FOOTBALL ALONE!!! SHUT UP AND BROADCAST

What ever happened it just sitting back with some chips and a beverage and watching a football game in peace? Away from the realities of the world and away from a political agenda. Not any more thanks to NBC.  As Hot Air has stated, first they had to inflict us with Keith Olbermann and now a lame green stunt. The only thing missing last night was Al Gore doing guest color analysis on the game. By the way NBC, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Eagles 38–17.

NBC is fine that you have a “Green is Universal” campaign. However, do so when it would be deemed appropriate. I do not expect football scores or interviews with head coaches while watching Tim Russert. How about you do the same for sports fans?  NBC and Football Night in America is truly in the dark. 

• NBC: We’ll Leave The Lights Off For You
• NBC Is Totally, Like, Going Green, Maaan
• Fraudulent science then and now (MON AM UPDATE)

So NBC’s answer to being green is a self-serving ridiculous stunt of turning the lights off for their half-time show of Football Night in America. You have got to be joking? It might have been a bit more convincing if Bob Costas, Olbermann and Chris Collinsworth were not laughing and making sophomoric jokes through out the broadcast. Wouldn’t NBC be doing us all a favor, both “green” and otherwise if they just pulled the plug on MSNBC? Think of the energy saved and the homes you could light and heat with that promotion?

The Sundries Shack brings up a point that was the first thing that came across our minds when watching this pathetic and shameless stunt. Here these people are telling us how to conserve when just how many frequent flier miles does Costas and Olbermann have? Would you just loved to have had a split screen view on TV of their homes last night to see just how many lights were on in their homes? Wouldn’t you want to see what was driving the NBC sports hosts back and forth to their homes? Heck, and just how many homes they might have being heated or cooled with no one in them? Just how many miles to the gallon does the “Madden Cruiser” get?

I suggest that as part of NBC’s “Green is Universal” program, they tell us just how much energy their halftime interviews cost, in pounds of CO2. I’d also be interested to know just how many airmiles Costas, Olbermann, and the rest travel to cover the games, also in total pounds of CO2 emitted. Not that I don’t believe that NBC should broadcast football games, complete with pregame and halftime shows. I just want to know what their carbon footprint is for each broadcast so I can determine whether they have any grounds on which to criticize me for my lifestyle.
