How the Democrats Killed Santa Claus

By April Coggins | 01/26/09

Thanks Democrats and particularly Henry Waxman. On February 10th, 2009 most items that are currently offered for children 12 and younger will disappear from store shelves because of a government ban on anything that has not been tested for lead content.  In our store, we will not be able sell or display any item that is intended for children because it has not tested for lead content.  The item doesn't have to contain any lead to be... read more »

Paging Jim Hansen - Weather Prediction Report Card

By April Coggins | 01/26/09

For the past week, the predicted low for last night was in the 20's.  Last night before I went to bed, I checked on the overnight temp prediction and it was supposed to be 12 F.  This morning the actual low was minus 12 F.  The Weather Service's climate model overestimated the temperature by a whopping 24 degrees.  That was over a twelve hour period.  If the experts can be so wrong about imminent... read more »

Global Warming Reality Check

By April Coggins | 01/10/09

The prediction: Europe Is Getting Warmer Faster The reality: Europe Snowstorm Forces Eiffel Tower Closure   The prediction: Researchers from the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency said this month that the conditions appear favorable only once every 18 years and that "continuing global warming will lead to further diminishing chances of holding an Elfstedentocht." The reality: Hopes are high that for the first time in 12 years it... read more »

The Alternative Reality of Liberal Journalists

By April Coggins | 01/10/09

Only a liberal journalist (trying to protect the huge lie that is global warming) would describe something that is happening more often and in fact is happening right now, as "increasingly rare". From Reuters: The Dutch strapped on skates and flocked to icy canals this weekend as freezing temperatures afforded an increasingly rare chance to skate across their flat country.   **Update**  I found the source for the... read more »

Carbon Tracking is Here Part 2

By April Coggins | 01/02/09

Back in October I posted about a new carbon tracking device that was developed.  Less than three months later my prediction came true.  Politicians in the government are plotting ways to use this device to track our miles driven and then use it for a new way ........ wait for it....... to TAX US EVEN MORE!  See, the problem is never that the government wastes money on foolish projects and bailouts for their country club... read more »

Baby, It's Cold Outside

By April Coggins | 12/16/08

  But if you can just hang in there, these fools are promising that in another 72 years, we will be 15 degrees warmer.  What's our recourse if they are wrong? read more »

How to Win Friends and Influence People, the Husky Version

By April Coggins | 12/02/08

In the Husky world it's considered insane, parochial, foolish and shameful to advocate for allowing a tax to expire and to hold the University of Washington to the same fiscal resonsibility as Washington State University.  The westside Husky sense of entitlement and arrogance comes through clearly in this article. From today's Seattle Times: (emphasis mine) "We think that they have the capacity at the University of... read more »

Monopoly, the New American Version

By April Coggins | 11/25/08

As America gets ready for a long Thanksgiving weekend, I have a suggestion for capitalists who are entertaining Democrats.  Dust off that old Monopoly game that is sitting neglected in your closet. As you set up the table and dole out the money, announce yourself as the bank. Except make a slight correction, you are not really the bank, you are the government. You will not roll dice, you will not have a turn around the table.... read more »
