There are some interesting reads today in the papers (can we call them that anymore since most are accessed online?). Obama continues to push Stimulus II, despite a cool reception from most. The Wall Street Journal covers his big gamble with your ante.

President Barack Obama pressed forward with an expansion of his $787 billion stimulus plan Tuesday, unveiling job-creation proposals that largely build on the initial package, including a hiring tax credit that his own party jettisoned as unworkable and some business owners deemed ineffective.

Meanwhile, the USA Today notes that supporters of the health care bill are jamming it full of all sorts of goodies.

As the “global warming” crowd gathers in Copenhagen to wring their hands and on the heels of the EPA declaring every single breath you exhale a “dangerous pollutant”, it’s good to see someone with sanity take a look at the track record of this same crowd. In Friday’s Forbes magazine, Gary Sutton penned a great piece titled “The Fiction of Climate Science: Why the Climatologists Get It Wrong.”

Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed “the coming ice age.”

Random House dutifully printed “THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age.” This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported “many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age.”
