OK, not really.
Obama Debate Questions

It should be.
Crazyfornia
A review of a frightening book:
California isn’t just a basket case, it’s a proselytizing basket case, with its environmental zealots, community organizers, and wishful economic thinkers aggressively selling their ideas to other states and to the federal government. As Laer demonstrates, while the recession is slowing the other forty-nine states from buying into California’s governing philosophy, the Obama government is an enthusiastic supporter. Another four years of Obama, and California won’t be the only bankrupt crazy place in America.
…Crazifornia describes a dysfunctional state, one that can best be summed up as a banana republic governed, not by oligarchs, but by a toxic mix of environmental fascists, greedy unions, corrupt or ideology-driven legislators, and all-powerful bureaucrats. But before you get too angry at these jackals, perhaps you should reserve your wrath for the ones who truly deserve it: the California voters.
I fear the state is lost. I just hope we can contain the infection.

Well-deserved awards. Sounds like a good time.

As someone notes in comments,this is simply another case of Leftist projection.
The Sun
…may be headed for a grand minimum:
Grand minima can last for decades. The previous one took place between 1645 and 1715, and has been linked to the little ice age in Europe. A new one might also cause localised cold periods, but many climate scientists see a silver lining to such a turn of events: a grand minimum offers ideal conditions for testing the effects of solar variability on Earth’s climate (see “Our star’s subtle influence”).
But don’t sweat it (so to speak). The largest energy source in the solar system has absolutely no influence over the planetary climate. Just ask the AGW folks.
Poll Skewing
I was scratching my head over this as well last night, when O’Reilly told Dick Morris that the media was doing this to goose Democrat donations. But why would Democrats donate more if they saw Obama way ahead in the polls? I’d just keep my wallet in my pocket, having better things to do with the money.
