A Global Goring 

After all the endless moaning and wailing by environmentalists and other assorted leftist nut-jobs that humans are mucking up the environment and causing the worst warming trend in history, a new study shows that cow shit and cow farts are far more to blame.  In fact, the United Nations Food & Agricultural Association claims that [...]

Politico quoted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as saying, “I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet.” She was responding, of course, to pressure that she and her fellow Democrats are experiencing to suspend a congressional ban on offshore oil drilling in the face of skyrocketing energy prices.

“Numb’s the word,” says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years [...]

When politicians “flip-flop,” or alter their stance on issues, charges of hypocrisy often follow.  But changing one’s mind is part of being human and is not always a hallmark of dishonesty, social scientists say.
