Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

This blog will pay for itself.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

It’s a doggy dog world.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Power Plant Ruling

It will be interesting to see the fall out from this ruling.

Seems like it provides incentives for companies to make modest improvements in environmental trechnology without forcing them to choose between keeping the curreent oldplant or investing boatloads to create new plants. Likewise, it seems to have struck down the parts that the environmentalists felt were most egregious.

Am I distorting this?

    Though I haven’t looked into the decision much, it definitely does come across as a pretty strong compromise and something that environmentalists have a lot of cause to be happy about. Rocky Mountain News has this little rundown of some key changes:

    “Rules allowing facilities to look back 10 years instead of two years when setting a baseline against which future emissions increases are calculated.”

    That ruling I do not like at all. Allowing facilities to look back 10 years in the realm of technology is way too lenient. Think about how much technology changes in 10 years…
