Spencer Translates Trenberth

Kevin Trenberth’s response to our paper, rather predictably, was:

“I cannot believe it got published”

Which when translated from IPCC-speak actually means, “Why didn’t I get the chance to deep-six Spencer’s paper, just like I’ve done with his other papers?”

Wisconsin Running A Budget Surplus

Six months ago the Wisconsin Senate Democrats went AWOL in an attempt to stop Governor Walker from fixing the state’s disastrous budget. Now they have a budget surplus. This teaches us that the key to a healthy economy is to get the Democrats in Congress to run away.

Over the past six months, Wisconsin has been nothing short of a miracle. Newly elected Governor Scott Walker and the Republicans in the majority in Madison got just about everything they wanted during the past legislative session, and a state facing a projected $3 billion budget shortfall with no end in sight now has a projected $300 million budget surplus. The amazing successes in Wisconsin have emboldened the legislatures and political leaders of other states, who have seen the wonders resulting from a little political backbone and fiscal common sense.
