If Only

Borrowed Time
President Obama and House Republicans failed to reach agreement on a six-week extension of the nation’s borrowing authority during a meeting Thursday at the White House, but the two sides kept talking, and the offer from politically besieged Republicans was seen as an initial step toward ending the budget standoff. (NYT, 10/10/2013)

President Obama's latest approval rating is 37%. Who exactly is "politically besieged?"


Warmed Over
Vermont global warming scare-monger Bill McKibben got caught on camera filling up his grocery cart with eco-unfriendly plastic bags. No reusable canvas totes for Bill!

The article by Twitchy spotlighting McKibben reminds us that the global warming cult figure is a prominent member of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, who’s website blares on its front page, “Disposable plastics are the greatest source of plastic pollution. Plastic bags, straws, bottles, utensils, lids, cups and so many others offer a small convenience but remain forever.  REFUSE disposable plastics! Follow the “4 Rs” of sustainable living: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” (Ethanallen.org, 10/7/2013)

Another Liberal hypocrite. 

Exhort people to take public transportation and then fly off in a private jet.
Decry guns except for your private security.
Bemoan big money in politics, but gladly take millions from George Soros.

The examples go on.
