   If you want your dictator, you can keep your dictator.

     Tim Morgans book shows that we can expect more “data massaging” by Obama.

     See page 10 of this summary. In his book Tim talks about economic and financial data manipulation, but we know it doesn’t stop there. James Hansen et al have been manipulating climate data for decades.

       Obama approach to solving problems reminds me of Tim Morgan’s marooned economist:

       “My late father used to recount a story about three professors, marooned on a desert island with hundreds of tins of baked beans, but no tin-opener. How can they eat?
       “My answer”, says the chemist, “is to put the tins in water. Over time, they will corrode away”.
       “But”, says the physicist, “how many years is that supposed to take? My solution is to put the tins in a fire. Pressure will increase, and they will soon explode”.
       “Covering the entire island with beans and peppering us with lethal shrapnel”, retorts the chemist.
       Both turn to the economist for advice.
       It is succinct:
       “Assume a tin-opener”.

   In the land of the blind one-eye is king ,dictator ,dear leader etc etc. In the land where senators think islands can tip over and stay in office it is the same problem.

     I think it was Congressman Hank Johnson — but your point is well made. Perhaps Mr. Johnson (having won a Gold Medal In Ignorance) can now arrange to smoke some crack and then be caught in bed with a Boy Scout, thereby winning the Democratic Triple Crown!

   Off topic: Make sure you follow the UK Parliamentary enquiry into the AR5 report.
   I’m sure you will be all over this but just in case

   Some pretty brutal questions eliciting responses such as “mistakes made regarding hockey stick”
