Democrats say voter ID laws are unnecessary, but there seems to be enough #Votefraud for them to have advisors on how to go about it

Voters less likely to vote for Obama are less equal than others.
Obama campaign sues Ohio over early voting law for military
The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee have filed a lawsuit to block a new state law allowing men and women in uniform to vote up until the Monday right before an election, while the cutoff on early voting for the rest of the public is three days earlier.
If you’re a Seal Team 6 member from Ohio, Obama thanks you for your usefulness in campaign propaganda service, but he doesn’t think you’re mature enough to vote.
He’s not the first Democrat to attempt this, of course. So did AlGore.
I suppose the rationale is that military voters already have picture ID’s, so they should lose their franchise, no matter their superficial melanin content. Anything else would be racist.
Fake Tea Party, Fake Candidate
Ever since ACORN employees counselled a young couple on the best way to open a brothel employing underage illegal aliens – and avoid taxes on the booty – I’ve been thinking election fraud, the former ACORN trademark, would decline as well. Apparently the message didn’t get through to Michigan Democrats.
Jason Gillman is on this.
Great Lakes hit 430 degrees Fahrenheit
Almost too stupid to be believed. NOAA and Michigan State University collaborate.
Al Gore could not be reached for comment.
"…no scientific basis"
A roundup of news on the latest Anthropogenic Global Warming scam.
Al Gore could not be reached for comment, but no plans have been announced to delete the scene of the Himalayan glaciers disappearance from the movie that won him an Oscar and a Nobel prize.
Glacier scientist: I knew data hadn’t been verified
The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.
…Dr Lal said: ‘We knew the WWF report with the 2035 date was “grey literature” [material not published in a peer-reviewed journal]. But it was never picked up by any of the authors in our working group, nor by any of the more than 500 external reviewers, by the governments to which it was sent, or by the final IPCC review editors.’
So much for the importance of “peer review.” For Dr. Lal it means nobody catches the lie.
UN climate change expert: there could be more errors in report
…The IPCC’s 2007 report, which won it the Nobel Peace Prize, said that the probability of Himalayan glaciers “disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high”.
But it emerged last week that the forecast was based not on a consensus among climate change experts, but on a media interview with a single Indian glaciologist in 1999.
…Dr Pachauri also said he did not learn about the mistakes until they were reported in the media about 10 days ago, at which time he contacted other IPCC members. He denied keeping quiet about the errors to avoid disrupting the UN summit on climate change in Copenhagen, or discouraging funding for TERI’s own glacier programme.
But he too admitted that it was “really odd” that none of the world’s leading glaciologists had pointed out the mistakes to him earlier. “Frankly, it was a stupid error,” he said. “But no one brought it to my attention.”
So much for “consensus.” And another lie:
Pachauri: the real story behind the Glaciergate scandal
…But even before the 2007 report was published, it now emerges, the offending claim was challenged, not least by a leading Austrian glaciologist, Dr Georg Kaser, a lead author on the 2007 report. He described Dr Hasnain’s prediction of glaciers disappearing by 2035 as “so wrong that it is not even worth dismissing”.
…Last week, the IPCC, led by its increasingly controversial chairman, Dr Rajendra Pachauri, was forced to issue an unprecedented admission: the statement in its 2007 report that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035 had no scientific basis, and its inclusion in the report reflected a “poor application” of IPCC procedures.
What has now come to light, however, is that the scientist from whom this claim originated, Dr Syed Hasnain, has for the past two years been working as a senior employee of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Delhi-based company of which Dr Pachauri is director-general. Furthermore, the claim – now disowned by Dr Pachauri as chairman of the IPCC – has helped TERI to win a substantial share of a $500,000 grant from one of America’s leading charities, along with a share in a three million euro research study funded by the EU.
“Poor application” of IPCC principles? No, business as usual.
…On Wednesday, the IPCC got around to acknowledging that the claim was “poorly substantiated,” though Mr. Pachauri also suggested it amounted to little more than a scientific typo. Yet the error is of a piece with other glib, and now debunked, global warming alarms.
Among them: that 1998 was the warmest year on record in the United States (it was 1934); that sea levels could soon rise by up to 20 feet and put Florida underwater (an 18-inch rise by the year 2100 is the more authoritative estimate); that polar bears are critically endangered by global warming (most polar bear populations appear to be stable or increasing); that—well, we could go on without even mentioning the climategate emails.
Finally, while we are on the quality of IPCC and AGW data, see here and here. You will find the Canadian data for everything north of the 65th parallel is based on one thermometer located in an anomalously warm site.
ACORN gets COI
ACORN is changing their name to Community Organizations International.
ACORN drops tarnished name and moves to silence critics
Sort of like changing “Global Warming” to “Climate Change.” Or “Liberal” to “Progressive.” Or “Terrorism” to “Man Caused Disaster.” Or “Extraordinary Rendition” to “Friends Helping Friends Executive Order.”
New brand. Get rid of the baggage.
I think they missed a bet with BHOGUS, myself. The GUS could be Gutting the United States, for example. A little work might improve that.
If they had to have COI, though, they could have picked from several better expansions –
- Conflict Of Interest
- Confluence Of Idiotarians
- Congress Of Indigents
- Chicago Oligarchy Imperative
or my personal favorite:
- Comrade Obama Internationale
And if they’d asked me I could have saved them some money on redoing the signs. Community Organizations Respecting Nothing only requires selling a vowel. It stays in the vegetable kingdom too, instead of rhyming with pampered fish.
Well, here’s to publicizing the fact that ACORN is becoming COI. A nut by any other name…

Grass Mud Horses in Iran
The Grass Mud Horse is a Chinese dissident construct representing those who resist authoritarian censorship, particularly censorship of the Internet. The horses are visiting Iran. You can help them.
Twitter is a major communication resource for Iranian protesters. Twitter has delayed a major software patch to their service so as not to interrupt this communication. Because Twitter is an aid to the protests and in getting information out of Iran, the Iranian intelligence services are attempting to use it to entrap dissidents. You can do a little thing that might help. From Wired:
Help cover the [Iranian] bloggers: change your twitter settings so that your location is TEHRAN and your time zone is GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location and timezone searches. If we all become ‘Iranians’ it becomes much harder to find them.
Also, change your location if you filled it in. Pass this on – via email, not Twitter – to other twits you know.
An amusing bit here about the cyber battle in Iran. The Iranian Revolutionary Photoshop Guards still can’t get it right.
