Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said in a radio interview Thursday that “of all the great cover-ups in history” — including the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra and Watergate — Benghazi “is going to go down as most serious, most egregious cover-up in American history.”
“We may be starting to use the I-word before too long,” Inhofe said on the Las Vegas-based “Rusty Humphries Show.”
“The I-word meaning impeachment?” Humphries asked.
“Yeah,” Inhofe confirmed.

Phil Jones and NOAA said there was no warming in the US.
February 04, 1989 Last week, scientists from the United States Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that a study of temperature readings for the contiguous 48 states over the last century showed there had been no significant change in average temperature over that period. Dr. (Phil) Jones said in a telephone interview today that his own results for the 48 states agreed with those findings.
In 1999, Hansen said that he didn’t see any warming in the US.
Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath…..
in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country
The measured data actually shows US temperatures cooling over the last 90 years, and that didn’t match the theory – so around the year 2000 NOAA and NASA simply changed the data.
The government reports that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by 1:10,000 over the last century. That would be like packing an extra ten people into the Rose Bowl!
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service inappropriately flagged conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status, a top IRS official said Friday.
Organizations were singled out because they included the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their applications for tax-exempt status, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups.
Lerner said the practice ….. was not motivated by political bias.
So they targeted people based on their politics, and after getting caught they claim that it was not politically motivated. Imagine if a Republican president would have been caught doing that.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle want to control your life through fear, by getting you to obsess about stupid shit which has no impact on your life – like CO2 or semi-automatic rifles.
Any time you ride in a car, you are never more than 18 inches away from a violent death. You are surrounded by billions of micro-organisms which can kill you at any time. When it is your time to go, you are going to go.
But as long as you here, you might as well enjoy life. Turn off your television, and stop allowing parasitic scumbags into the White House and Congress.

Climate experts tell us that GISS surface temperatures (based on 1200 km extrapolations) closely match satellite data. It takes about 90 seconds to demonstrate that they have no idea what they are talking about.
