Supreme Court slams states’ motion to halt EPA rules. We have to wonder what Obama has on this guy. He certainly doesn’t need another liberal on the court. This is one you CAN blame on Bush.

US Power Plant Turns to Russia for Coal Supply
US Power Plant Turns to Russia for Coal Supply. We’re to the point where we wonder how in the hell Putin ever stops laughing at Obama and his clown circus.
Latest lunacy from the NAACP: Coal-fired power plants are racist
It should come as no surprise to our readers to learn that coal-fired power plants fall into that vile category, too.
Of course, regular readers of IHateTheMedia.com are well aware that everything – absolutely everything – is racist. So it should come as no surprise to learn that coal-fired power plants fall into that vile category, too.
The Holland, Michigan Sentinel reports the latest in leftist outrage:
A new national report to be released by the NAACP Saturday gives Holland’s James De Young coal-fired plant a environmental justice grade of ‘F.’
The report analyzes toxic emissions and demographic factors including race, income and population density to calculate “environmental justice scores” for the nation’s 431 coal-fired power plants which are “significantly harmful to low-income communities and communities of color.”
Detroit’s River Rouge Power Plant is ranked as ninth-most harmful in the nation.
Other failing plants include Eckert (Lansing); B.C. Cobb (Muskegon); Monroe (Monroe); Trenton Channel (Trenton) and Presque Isle (Marquette).
Regular IHTM reader Paden alerted us to this story and said, “The Sierra club has been fighting Holland city for two years to stop the expansion of the power plant. Holland has one group of liberals who won’t allow a new plant and another flock of libs saying the currant plant is racist.”
Environmental justice. A phrase in which neither word is accurate, but the left buys it anyway. Generally with your money.

The Strange Case of Barack Jekyl and Obama Hyde
Our president is a Jekyl and Hyde character. Barack Jekyl is clueless about the economy and Obama Hyde is hell-bent to cause more destruction.
We’ve learned our president is a Jekyl and Hyde character. Barack Jekyl is completely clueless about how to improve the economy and Obama Hyde is hell-bent to cause more destruction.
US News profiles the destructive alter-ego in action:
Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.
“Many of these severe impacts would hit families living in states already facing serious economic challenges,” said Steve Miller, president of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
Just a hunch, but we figure those are states he didn’t figure to win next year. To continue…
The industry says the costs and potential to lose four jobs for every new clean energy job created isn’t worth the rules, especially in a job-starved economy.
Raising the price of electricity for strapped families while putting more workers out of jobs. Obama’s focusing like a laser on the economy so he can vaporize it. But there is an upside, they claim:
…officials said that just one of the rules to cut sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions will would yield up to $290 billion in annual health and welfare benefits in 2014.
And the stimulus will reduce unemployment below 8%. And Obamacare will reduce the deficit. The next time this bunch’s numbers prove correct will be the first.
Multiple personalities or not, we wish he’d imitate a job and vanish.

Hollywood bimbo Ashley Judd compares strip mining to spousal rape
Hollywood airhead Ashley Judd spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. If only she had just stood there looking hot instead of opening her pie hole.
Hollywood airhead Ashley Judd spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. If only she had just stood there looking hot instead of opening her pie hole.
Judd delighted the assembled press corps her opinions on “the horrors of strip mining”, which she compared to spousal rape.
One would be tempted to think that Judd was a committed environmentalist, except for the fact that she’s married to Scottish auto racer Dario Franchitti. Franchitti races IndyCars and NASCAR (in fact, he just won this year’s Indy 500). He also flies helicopters. The environmentally-concerned duo jet back and forth between homes in Scotland and the United States. In other words, they suck up more energy than the average coal mine produces.
Normally, we hate hypocritical environmentalists who says, “It’s good for thee, but not for me.” But we’re willing to overlook Judd’s transgressions because she’s really hot.
We do have our standards, you know.
Nothing like 25 dead miners to ruin a beautiful day at the Washington Post
Happy Tuesday? They must have assumed all the miners were conservatives.

Global warming be damned, West Virginia names coal the state rock
President Obama said he wants to bankrupt the coal industry. And coal is one of the great hobgoblins of the global warming fear mongers.
West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, a Democrat, just poked a finger right square in all their eyes by naming bituminous coal the official state rock.
Coal is vitally important to the state’s economy and history. Only Wyoming produces more coal than West Virginia. Coal is a key source of energy to the South and East. And West Virginia gets more electricity from coal than any other state.
According to the West Virginia Gazette, “The resolution notes explorer John Peter Salley found coal near Racine in 1742 and named the Coal River as a result. George Washington observed a Mason County coal fire in 1770, and Conrad Cotts opened the state’s first commercial coal mine near Wheeling in 1810, according to the resolution.”
Henry Kissinger said, “A diamond is just a lump of coal that did well under pressure.”
Looks like West Virginia is doing very well under pressure.

NASA exec tries to bore people into believing global warming
The same global warming proponents who used to bully people into submission are now attempting to bore them into submission.
James Hansen, the controversial NASA’s scientist and Al Gore toady, stars in a mind-numbingly dull new commercial promoting a March 2 protest at the Capitol Power Plant in Washington, DC. Continue reading “NASA exec tries to bore people into believing global warming”
