Who would walk away from the planet’s richest gold deposit? Answer: Anglo American is abandoning its $541 million investment in Alaska’s Pebble Mine project because they don’t think the environmental whackos in this country – specifically Gina McCarthy, Obama’s new EPA Administrator – will ever give anybody permission to dig all that gold, copper, molybdenum, and palladium out of the ground.

Americans are more conservative than they have been in decades

Americans are more conservative than they have been in decades. “The latest update of Stimson’s policy mood series suggests that the American public in 2012 was more conservative than at any point since 1952.” From Twitter: “If Stimson’s correct, it suggests the public has dispensed with the notion that the GOP is conservative.” Yeah, pretty much. More here.

It’s come to this – House members openly laughing at President Obama.

“They all tried to conceal their disappointment at not being able to see the clothes, and since nobody was willing to admit his own stupidity and incompetence, they all behaved as the two scoundrels had predicted.
A child, however, who had no important job and could only see things as his eyes showed them to him, went up to the carriage.
“The Emperor is naked,” he said.
“Fool!” his father reprimanded, running after him. “Don’t talk nonsense!” He grabbed his child and took him away. But the boy’s remark, which had been heard by the bystanders, was repeated over and over again until everyone cried:
“The boy is right! The Emperor is naked! It’s true!”

Nixon and Kissinger’s Forgotten Shame

Nixon and Kissinger’s Forgotten Shame: News flash for the Op-ed at the NYT. Right now there is a man in the White House that is reading your emails. Listening to your phone calls. Using the IRS to silence political opposition. Taking trillions from the tax payer to give to his friends. All while fighting his ass off to defend legislation that essentially nationalizes our bodies. We’ve heard enough about Nixon to last fourteen-thousand lifetimes. Perhaps you could focus on the man that has done more harm in just over one term than Nixon could have done in those fourteen-thousand lifetimes.

Saudi sheikh says women shouldn’t drive because it damages their ovaries and pelvis. “‘Physiological science and functional medicine studied this [and found] that it automatically affects ovaries and rolls up the pelvis,” said the sheikh. This is two years after Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council issued a “scientific” report which claimed that letting women drive would “provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.” Guess now we know why Saudi Arabia has never won a Nobel Prize… in any subject.
