VIDEO: ROBERT GIBBS OUT DOES HIS ARROGANT SELF

When I first saw this, my jaw dropped waiting for the earth to quake. April Ryan, a black reporter is justifiably persistent with Gibbs over the fact that Obama's social secretary Desiree Rogers was actually on the guest list during the state dinner at the White House. Everything I've heard and read says that breaks protocol so Ryan is 100% in the right to expect an explanation. Gibbs reaction is more than self-indicting.

It far exceeds the combined standard of racism set by Al and Jesse.

WOW.

VIDEO: SCIENCE CZAR HOLDREN GRILLED OVER CLIMATEGATE

Obama Science czar John Holdren has found himself in the middle of climategate. There are emails from him to other players in the saga - in particular Michael Mann - in which he is boasting about his efforts to discredit two solar scientists who were challenging Mann's "hockey stick" chart by pointing to the Medieval Warming Period (MWP). The MWP is generally considered to have been between the 9th and 14th centuries.

Considering the fact that Mann's chart covered the period between 1000 - 2000 A.D., the MWP was likely considered to be a period of "inconvenient truth". Otherwise, I don't know that Holdren would have been so concerned about discrediting them.

Here, Wisconsin Representative James Sensenbrenner (R) grills Holdren and rightfully so. While Sensenbrenner points to Holdren being wrong about the rise in sea levels in 2006 and the "hockey stick" chart, he neglected to mention Holdren's pathetically inaccurate predictions in the 1977 book of his titled, "Ecoscience". By the way, ZOMBIETIME did a thorough analysis of WackoScience a few months ago.

Before watching the video, check out the ACTUAL EMAIL Sensenbrenner is referring to when talking about correspondence between Holdren and Mann about the solar scientists, Soon and Baliunas.

Here's the exchange with Sensenbrenner.

VIDEO: DALLAS BLACK HOLE COMMISSIONER AT IT AGAIN

Last year, Dallas county commissioner John Wiley Price took offense when fellow commissioner Ken Mayfield likened central collections to a "black hole". Price, who is black, took it personally. He's done it again.

This time he challenges a judge who tries to get him to come to order.



For those who would like to reminisce about the "black hole" outburst, here it is.
