Nobel Prize biophysicist: “The Nonsense of Biofuels” [Fritzworth]
Ash Jogalekar (himself a scientist) reports at his website on a scientific editorial, “The Nonsense of Biofuels”, written by Hartmut Michel, who won the Nobel Prize for his own research into biophysics. The gist of Michel’s editorial (which is not accessible, Jogalekar’s link notwithstanding) is that there just isn’t enough efficiency in biophysical processes. Open it up for an extended quote from Jogalekar’s post.
All these hurdles lead to a rather drastic lowering of photosynthetic efficiency which gets watered down to a rather measly (but still staggeringly efficient by human standards) 4% or so.

Military Retirees Get Screwed… Friday, Feb 24 2012

They can’t balance a budget. They slash the military’s budget. They go after the retirees to pay for the things that they were promised would be there after they did their 20 years, or better. It’s bad enough that they want to hike fees, but to do it by as much as 78% is criminal.
The Veterans did what was asked, now the government reneges on the deal. Typical.

Tricare costs would jump in budget plan
By Patricia Kime – Staff writer
Pentagon officials will continue pressing in 2013 for significantly higher Tricare fees for military retirees, including older retirees covered by Tricare for Life, as well as higher drug co-pays for all Tricare beneficiaries.
The Defense Department’s proposed 2013 budget calls for annual enrollment fees for retirees in Tricare Prime to rise next year by 30 percent to 78 percent, from the current $460 or $520 for families to between $600 and $820, depending on military retirement income.
“Working-age retirees” — those younger than 65 — also would pay annual enrollment fees for Tricare Standard and Extra: $70 for an individual and $140 for a family. These would be the first enrollment fees for Standard and Extra in Tricare history.
Deductibles for Standard and Extra also would rise by $10 for individuals and $20 for families.

Fast and Furious Still Ignored by MSM… Monday, Feb 20 2012

It’s still being ignored. Watergate was nothing compared to this. It is an absolute farce that Holder has not been impeached. Obama should be impeached if he is found to have any involvement in this obvious conspiracy on the part of this Administration’s DOJ.
They want your guns, so you can’t resist them. This was their moment in the sun. Unfortunately, in their eyes, they’ve been found out.
There needs to be an accounting. Holder is accountable for DOJ’s involvement from the get go, through the aftermath yet to be determined.
AP ‘top 10’ list confirms media still ignoring Fast and Furious story
“The killing of Osama bin Laden during a raid by Navy SEALs on his hideout in Pakistan was the top news story of 2011, followed by Japan’s earthquake/tsunami/meltdown disaster, according to The Associated Press’ annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors,” David Crary of the Associated Press reported, presenting the news agency’s top 10 stories for the year.
Fair enough. They were huge stories. The other stories selected were all noteworthy in their own ways as well, but there is one more that is remarkable in its absence from inclusion: Fast and Furious.
If you are uninformed on this, then you need to read David’s coverage of this scandal. He’s been in this since the start.

We have this from the Washington Times. Teh Won is looking to backdoor the Second Amendment through his budget proposal. Wake the fuck up people. If the SCOAMF gets reelected he’s going after the Second Amendment on all fronts. He’ll have nothing to lose.
Obama’s fast and furious spin
Sneaky White House budget provisions undermine the Second Amendment
President Obama is using his budget to advance an anti-gun agenda just before the election. One particularly sneaky provision buried deep within his submission to Congress Monday would, if enacted, allow the mistakes of the “Fast and Furious” gun-walking scandal to be repeated.
In November, the president signed the Justice Department appropriations bill, which included language from Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, prohibiting federal agencies from facilitating the transfer of an operable firearm to an individual known or suspected to be in a drug cartel, unless they monitor the weapon at all times.
Now Mr. Obama is proposing to remove that provision from the 2013 spending bill, thus making it legal to revive gun-walking operations in the future. The White House justification is merely that the prohibition is “not necessary.”

Federal funds flow to clean-energy firms with Obama administration ties
By Carol D. Leonnig and Joe Stephens
Sanjay Wagle was a venture capitalist and Barack Obama fundraiser in 2008, rallying support through a group he headed known as Clean Tech for Obama.
Shortly after Obama’s election, he left his California firm to join the Energy Department, just as the administration embarked on a massive program to stimulate the economy with federal investments in clean-technology firms.
Following an enduring Washington tradition, Wagle shifted from the private sector, where his firm hoped to profit from federal investments, to an insider’s seat in the administration’s $80 billion clean-energy investment program.
He was one of several players in venture capital, which was providing financial backing to start-up clean-tech companies, who moved into the Energy Department at a time when the agency was seeking outside expertise in the field. At the same time, their industry had a huge stake in decisions about which companies would receive government loans, grants and support.

Investors in Vancouver LNG-engine firm to benefit from subsidies
by S. E. Robinson
Soon after President Barack Obama touted Westport Innovation’s liquefied natural gas-powered engines April 1 at a Maryland UPS facility, the company’s top individual investor made large contributions to Democrats.Kevin G. Douglas, Westport’s largest individual shareholder, April 8 gave more than $30,000 to Obama and the Democratic National Committee, according to federal campaign filings.
In a lucky confluence of events, a bill, supported by the president, New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act, designed to subsidize the migration of American vehicles from gasoline and diesel to LNG-powered engines was filed April 6 in the House of Representatives. The bill is also known by the shorthand: Natural Gas Act.

Issa takes step toward holding Holder in contempt of Congress
By Matthew Boyle
On Tuesday Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took a major step toward holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to provide subpoenaed documents and other information about Operation Fast and Furious.
In a Jan. 31 letter, Issa had threatened Holder with such a move if he failed to provide all the subpoenaed documents relating to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal by Feb. 9. That deadline has come and gone, and Holder’s Department of Justice still hasn’t provided most of those documents. Issa’s subpoena dates back to Oct. 12, 2011.

He just doesn’t get it. I guess this shit is par for the course with SCOAMF. The only way this shit is going to change is if we get rid of his ass in 2012 and get rid of the Democrats in both Chambers of Congress. I would include the RINOs in cleaning out Congress. Government needs to shrink, not get bigger. It’s already too big for our own good.
President’s Budget Would Increase Taxpayer Losses on TARP
By Stacy Kaper
President Obama’s fiscal 2013 budget proposal touts the administration’s recent long-shot mortgage refinancing proposal and says the White House’s increased emphasis on the housing crisis will lead to larger taxpayer losses from a 2008 emergency bailout fund.
The budget, as expected includes a call for broadening the availability of refinancing options for borrowers who are current on their mortgages but owe more than their homes are worth. The administration said it plans to finish doling out unspent funds for housing assistance, which is likely to increase the costs of the emergency financial bailout by $20 billion — something that is likely to generate criticism from Republicans for increasing taxpayer costs.

Obama’s Budget And Speech Update: Paul Ryan Responds
The Obama administration released its budget today and The One is now giving a speech shortly to sell it.
President Obama is offering his spending blueprint for the next decade — an election-year document that seeks to achieve $4 trillion in deficit reduction through cuts in government spending, higher taxes and inclusion of last year’s debt-ceiling deal for deficit reduction.
At the same time, Obama will ask for substantial spending increases on infrastructure and job training, but will offer few reforms to entitlement programs, which take up 40 percent of the annual federal budget.
Republicans, who are vowing to oppose Obama’s tax increases, have planned several events Monday to counter the president’s release. On Sunday House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said the president’s proposal is full of gimmicks and does little to reduce the deficit or curb the rapid growth of benefit programs like Medicare.
Tax increases? Oh yes, Obama has those. .
OBAMA BUDGET: ends Bush tax cuts for top earners, limits their deductions & exemptions, brings back top 39.6% rate
Bottom line…this is all theater since Obama’s budget is Dead on Arrival. Democrats in the Senate don’t want to touch it but Mitch McConnell is trying to bring it up for a vote.

I mean, Samuel L. Jackson Voted for Obama BECAUSE HE’S BLACK. Yeah, you and how many more from the 90% of the black vote? Politics be damned. A fine example to America, eh? Way to get past racism! “They did it to us for all those years, now it’s our turn to be racist.” That’s what I’m thinking…
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve always liked the movies that he was in. I just can’t look at him in the same way anymore though. Kind of ruined it for me.
Samuel L. Jackson I Voted for Obama BECAUSE HE’S BLACK
Barack Obama’s politics meant nothing to Samuel L. Jackson because the “Pulp Fiction” star only voted for the president for one reason and one reason only … because he’s black.
In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, “I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them … That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn’t mean [bleep] to me.”

The assault on our Constitution is unprecedented. This Administration and the Democrats in general have been spewing absolute shit out of their shit holes under their noses. If you think for one second that this President, or his minions are pro-America, you are absolutely delusional.
They can’t do it the right way, the way it is given in the Constitution, so they want to change our Constitution to fit their collective socialist agenda.
Keep this shit up, and there will be another revolution. Those of us that took the oath like myself, will defend the Constitution against ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC, and are ready to continue to defend it even now.
You assholes that think you can trample on the Constitution without a fight, are in for a rude awakening.
‘Breaking Free From the Constraints of the Founding Fathers’
By Victor Davis Hanson
In the last week in the popular press and academic journals there have been several pre-election essays and op-eds about the cumbersome nature of the U.S. Constitution as we were reminded by the president and its unsuitability for emulation by other countries per Justice Ginsburg, given contemporary supposedly superior models. In addition, we are told that food stamps are a great win-win situation for everyone, and that breaking immigration laws are infractions not really violations.
What we have here is an assault on traditional American notions of self-reliance, respect for the law, and a sense of American exceptionalism as embodied by the Constitution. It is weird, to say the least, to even hint of superior constitutional systems elsewhere, given the current chaos in South Africa, and the coming implosion of the European Union — not to mention the mess in the Middle East and Russia.
