More bad news for the anti-energy, green greed brigade
James Delingpole: More bad news for the anti-energy, green greed brigade.
I love the way Delingpole enthusiastically zings the trolls who comment on his writings. Makes for some juicy reading.
“No big plane will ever be taken that way again, because the passengers will fight back.”
Bigotry on campus
The newly named “associate dean for equity and inclusion” at the College of Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, is promising “disruptive progress” in his effort to increase minorities at the school.
The plan [pdf] includes more money for staffing and facilities for the “equity and inclusion” department, plus more money and power for student organizations. Sadly, this is money and facilities that will no longer be available for actual education or research.

Obamacare abominations
You would think a piece of legislation more than a thousand pages long would at least be clear about the specifics. But a lot of those pages say: “The secretary will determine …” That means the secretary of health and human services will announce the rules sometime in the future.

Government spending at its stupidest: the top ten projects.
I like #6 the best, $484,000 to help finance a pizza restaurant in Arlington, Texas, because every business should get its own free pile of cash from the government!

LightSquared is running out of cash
That LightSquared’s broadband technology interferes with GPS and that it’s CEO is under investigation from the SEC aren’t it’s only problems: the company is running out of cash.
