House Dems: We’ll Pass Senate Obamacare Bill By Voting On Something Else (Updated)

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

It seems there is no bottom to the depths the House Democrat Leadership will plumb in search of a way to defeat American popular opinion and pass Obamacare.

The new low involves bypassing an actual House vote on the Senate Obamacare bill. It appears the Democrats simply don’t have the votes to pass the bill on an up-or-down basis, and the problem is getting worse as time goes forward.

House GOP “No New Earmarks” Pledge Nice, But Rings Hollow

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

Last night House Minority Leader John Boehner, together with nine other party leaders, took a pledge to drop the practice of earmarks in Congressional appropriations…

“For millions of Americans, the earmark process in Congress has become a symbol of a broken Washington. We believe the time has come for House Republicans to adopt an immediate, unilateral moratorium on all earmarks, including tax and tariff-related earmarks, and we will support changing the official rules of the House Republican Conference to incorporate such a moratorium when a special conference meeting on the matter takes place Thursday. When Republicans take back the House, we will rein in out-of-control federal spending and bring fundamental change to the process by which Congress spends American taxpayers’ money.”

NASA Climate Data Inferior to Discredited East Anglia CRU

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by Ryan Booth

When Phil Jones (the now disgraced and suspended director of the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia) claimed that he had lost most of the raw data that he and others have used to pronounce the impending doom of our little planet from anthropogenic global warming (AGW), the official word from the warmists was that it made no difference because the completely separate databases of NASA and NOAA showed the same results.  The fact that CRU’s raw data had been randomly and arbitrarily twisted to fit their goals of getting massive grants to continue their “research” supposedly didn’t alter the fact that the science was settled.

History will record that Harry Reid was among the dumbest men ever to serve in the United States Senate, barring Joe Biden.

You Didn’t Really Expect Obama To Allow Offshore Drilling, Did You?

Posted on March 11th, 2010 by macaoidh

Don Briggs’ piece yesterday on the Davy Jones gas find off Louisiana’s southwest coast is certainly a hopeful one. McMoran’s discovery of between 2-6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas with one exploratory well has opened up speculation that there may be a vast trend of oil and gas running offshore from the Davy Jones well all the way to the Jack deepwater find to the south, thus perhaps revitalizing Louisiana’s offshore oil industry and putting tens of thousands of our people to work in high-paying jobs.

Davy Jones Discovery – A New Frontier For Gulf Of Mexico

Posted on March 10th, 2010 by Don Briggs

Recently, an “elephant” discovery was found by McMoRan and their partners, Plains Exploration & Production and Energy XXI. This development, found in 20 feet of water 10 miles south of Marsh Island, could possibly bring a new era of exploration to the Gulf of Mexico shelf.

As many know, for nearly a decade exploration has been in a steady exodus from the Gulf of Mexico. In 2001 the average number of rigs drilling in the Gulf of Mexico was 148. This past July, the rig count hit a historic low of 25 rigs.

Vitter Delivers Bombshell Letter To Obama On NOAA/Fishing Issue

Posted on March 10th, 2010 by macaoidh

The following is a copy of a letter sent by U.S. Sen. David Vitter to President Obama today…

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20500

Cc: NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco

Dear Mr. President and Administrator Lubchenco:

I write to express sincere opposition regarding the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force Interim Framework for Effective Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (“Interim Framework”). Although I have long supported reasonable policy mechanisms to enhance interagency coordination on oceans policy issues, the Interim Framework gives the impression that the administration is seeking to implement fundamental changes to both the regulatory structure and statutory authorities that form the basis for nearly every aspect of oceans management and use.

Minus-21.

Posted on March 10th, 2010 by macaoidh

That’s the Rasmussen Approval Index for President Obama today. Forty-three percent of respondents to Rasmussen’s polling over the last three days consider their opinion of the president to be Strong Disapproval, with just 22 percent constituting Strong Approvals.

Minus-21 is the worst rating Obama has had; he polled at that number on Dec. 22 of last year and Feb. 27 of this year. The 43 percent strong disapproval isn’t the worst it’s been, as it was as high as 46 percent on Dec. 23. But the 22 percent Strong Approval number ties the worst it’s ever been; Obama has had 22 percent strong support on several other polling releases.

Rasmussen’s polling has a lot of other interesting numbers. To wit…
