Taxes

New York Times, here it is.

The share of all federal taxes paid by the top 1 percent grew, but only slightly more than half the rate of their growth in incomes because of the tax rate cuts. The top 1 percent paid 27.6 percent of all federal taxes in 2005, up from 22.9 percent in 2003, while the share paid by the middle fifth of taxpayers declined to 9.3 percent from 10 percent in 2003.

It's Never Their Fault

Michelle Malkin on this mortgage "crisis."

. . . the continued, depressing, bipartisan push to adopt Hillarycare for the housing market. The US Senate took the latest step this afternoon to rescue strapped homeowners from their own bad decisions–with our money. . .

The legislation will help the Federal Housing Administration “be a source of salvation for those families who were tricked into unaffordable loans,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

“Tricked.” Right. It’s never their fault. Always someone else’s. Not long now before the Coffmans get their handout and poster family status, I’m tellin’ ya.

Only one–yes, one–US Senator voted against the bill: GOP Sen. Jon Kyl.

Regulation And Green Groups Will Stop Any Progress

Knocking the wind out of the energy debate - The UK government department in charge of energy is strangling urgently needed generation schemes in red tape, precaution and ceaseless consultation.

The Answer Is Nuclear

Energy: the answer is not blowing in the wind - Ministers calling for a massive expansion of wind generation in Britain are full of hot air. The rational solution to the energy issue is to go nuclear.

Penguins And Climate Change

A World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report about the fate of penguin species under climate change. The press reports draw heavily from the press release put out by the WWF to draw attention to their report on penguins, but more importantly, the WWF’s desire for large and immediate carbon dioxide emissions restrictions. From the press reports and the WWF release, things seem bad for Antarctica’s penguin species. But, as is the case with nearly every alarmist issue, the truth reveals quite a different story. In this case, a review of the literature on penguins, climate change, and ecosystem disturbances, reveals a large variety of penguin responses to changing conditions, changes that include in addition to climate fluctuations, a large-scale alteration to the local and regional food chain as industrial whaling and fishery operations over the course of the past several decades have significantly reduced the number of many species, including both predators and prey. This perturbation to the foodweb has likely had large impacts on the resident penguin species and makes isolating or even correctly identifying impacts from a changing climate quite difficult.  Read about Penguins and Climate Change.

What Is The Temperature?

We don't know the Earth's surface temperature with a precision that exceeds estimated warming since 1750, or that we don't even have an agreement on what we are trying to measure or how to go about it, why should we be even mildly surprised warmer years are believed to occur as we get further from the depths of the Little Ice Age, in which our thermometric histories commence? Sol has been pretty active over the last century, so warming would be the anticipated outcome. Unfortunately, solar cycle 24, which might be starting now, shows ominous indications of quiescence. Global cooling is not something to wish for but it is unfortunately what we might get.

No Dissent Allowed

Voice of dissent censored by United Nations


For the second time this week, the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) was kicked off the press schedule for the United Nations' climate conference in Bali, Indonesia.

The ICSC is a group of scientists from Africa, Australia, Europe, India, New Zealand, and the U.S. who contend sound science does not support the outrageous claims and draconian regulations proposed in Bali.

Boycott All Climate Talks

Amid growing frustration with the United States in deadlocked negotiations at a United Nations conference on global warming, the European Union threatened Thursday to boycott separate talks proposed by the Bush administration in Hawaii next month. New York Times

Good idea! Everyone should boycott all climate talks.

Protect The Living

Protect your citizens, not just those on death row.

New Jersey politicians celebrate the abolition of the death penalty in their state, but they can't repeal the death penalty for the murdered victims. The citizens of Garden State remain on death row.

The lawmakers did so because of claims that the death penalty was barbaric and ineffective. If it is ineffective, perhaps it's because nobody has been executed in New Jersey since 1963. For capital punishment to be effective it must be swift and certain — murderers cannot be allowed to sit on death row for more years than their victims lived.

Executions nationwide are on hold as the U.S. Supreme Court ponders whether death by lethal injection violates the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. As for being unusual, a simple reform of the endless appeals process that allows murderers to spend long years on death row might be the remedy. The right to a speedy trial should be followed by the obligation of a speedy execution of the guilty.

The state of New Jersey has an obligation to keep all its citizens alive, not just those who have been convicted of murder.

Ask FactCheck

Question and answer from ask FactCheck

Did President Bush call the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper?"

Is it true that President Bush called the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper?" He has never denied it, and it appears that there were several witnesses.


Extremely unlikely. The Web site that reported those words has a history of quoting phony sources and retracting bogus stories.

The report that Bush "screamed" those words at Republican congressional leaders in November 2005 is unsubstantiated, to put it charitably.

We judge that the odds that the report is accurate hover near zero. It comes from Capitol Hill Blue, a Web site that has a history of relying on phony sources, retracting stories and apologizing to its readers.
