Interesting.

We’d congratulate the Audubon Society for understanding that Peter Gleick’s committed fraud, but we still have a bad taste in our mouth from all people Audubon helped kill via the DDT ban.

Got this from KICKIN’ AND SCREAMIN’………..

Here’s another one over at Ace’s place worth the look.

That fairy dust green energy Obama (SCOAMF) is pushing for is a really, really stupid idea.

Nobel Prize biophysicist: “The Nonsense of Biofuels” [Fritzworth]

Ash Jogalekar (himself a scientist) reports at his website on a scientific editorial, “The Nonsense of Biofuels”, written by Hartmut Michel, who won the Nobel Prize for his own research into biophysics. The gist of Michel’s editorial (which is not accessible, Jogalekar’s link notwithstanding) is that there just isn’t enough efficiency in biophysical processes. Open it up for an extended quote from Jogalekar’s post.

All these hurdles lead to a rather drastic lowering of photosynthetic efficiency which gets watered down to a rather measly (but still staggeringly efficient by human standards) 4% or so.

I wanted to see this movie before the liberals crapped all over themselves reviewing it. Now? I really need to go see this movie!

“Act of Valor” Wins Praise From Conservative Critics, Scorn From Liberal Ones

I wish I knew who said this — maybe @dancollins. He wrote something like, “Dear Stupid Critics, please bear in mind you’re reviewing a war movie, not a war.”

Critics can’t seem to tell the difference. Is this a movie about the War on Terror? Oh, I don’t like that. So a movie about it bad.

While critics attack this movie, where actual fighting men are the heroes, what do you imagine their reaction will be to the Obama Personally Kills Bin Ladin movie coming soon? Do you suspect, as I do, that shifting the locus of Heroism away from the icky soldiers and towards the effete, professorial douchebag in the Oval Office will cause them to realize, Clint Eastwood-style, that “some men just need killin'”?

In this, the final installment of the seven part series (the first six installments may be found here:  Part 1; Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5; Part 6), we’ll explore the basics of holster choice and several other related issues.

HOLSTERS:

What should guide one’s choice of a holster?  What will be comfortable, concealable, and most importantly, what you will actually wear every day?  A holster that looks great but just doesn’t fit your body or life will be of little use. There are several primary categories of holsters useful for concealed carry, but much depends on the individual–not only their preferences but their anatomy–their lifestyle, the climate, and their weapon.  Generally, those living in predominantly hot climates have fewer choices than those who live in cold climates as coats and jackets can effectively cover a wider variety of weapon/holster…

They can’t balance a budget. They slash the military’s budget. They go after the retirees to pay for the things that they were promised would be there after they did their 20 years, or better. It’s bad enough that they want to hike fees, but to do it by as much as 78% is criminal.

The Veterans did what was asked, now the government reneges on the deal. Typical.

From the Army Times:

Tricare costs would jump in budget plan
By Patricia Kime – Staff writer

Pentagon officials will continue pressing in 2013 for significantly higher Tricare fees for military retirees, including older retirees covered by Tricare for Life, as well as higher drug co-pays for all Tricare beneficiaries.

The Defense Department’s proposed 2013 budget calls for annual enrollment fees for retirees in Tricare Prime to rise next year by 30 percent to 78 percent, from the current $460 or $520 for families to between $600 and $820, depending on military retirement income.

“Working-age retirees” — those younger than 65 — also would pay annual enrollment fees for Tricare Standard and Extra: $70 for an individual and $140 for a family. These would be the first enrollment fees for Standard and Extra in Tricare history.

Deductibles for Standard and Extra also would rise by $10 for individuals and $20 for families.
