Krauthammer was absolutely correct, he named half his team to keep state and defense on auto pilot while he spends his time changing every aspect of our domestic way of life.

the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, an international organization of prominent scientists that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.

This is bad I want scientists that win science not political prizes...

I know John Holdren well. He is intelligent, well-educated, and highly accomplished. He is also the ultimate watermelon. He’s constantly talking environmental protection but inside he’s redder than a monkey’s ass.

Fans of the late, great Julian Simon will remember Holdren as sharing (with infamous population hysteric Paul Erlich) the losing end of the famous wager Simon made with the neo-Malthusians regarding trends in resource scarcity. It is no surprise that the Bamboozler has welcomed Uncle Ho aboard and it bodes ill for liberty.

Holdren’s big thing is that he wants greenhouse gas emissions credits to be distributed to the world’s national governments on a per capita basis. Thus whenever you take a hot shower or crack open a cold beer you would have to pay some utterly impoverished and unproductive jihadi’s dictator for the privilege.

When Holdren was at Cal some of the students took to calling him Uncle Ho (think Ho Chi Minh). We are going to hear a lot from and about this guy. I’m going to be calling him Uncle Ho.

Hey, where is the BARF ALERT?

I was reading the American Rifleman (NRA mag for those who don't know). Here is a quote from Valerie Jarret co-chair of his holiness’ transition team

Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule from day one.

RULE???? what a pile of fascist $h!t the Obamanation truly is.

"It's time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and worked to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology"

This is Orwellian.

First look at the bias in the Yahoo title "Obama names strong science team"
Really, what's with the word "strong"? Why not just Obama names Science team? No media bias? Give me a break.

Then there is Obama's statement about restoring America's as the world leader in Science and Technology. Where is the criticism? Restore? Where did we go? Boy talk about scientific and technological illiteracy, it starts with Obama himself. That's what's so scary.

We are the world leader in science and technology but of course liberals would never admit it in particular if there is a Republican President.

The Obama Cabinet might be named Obama China Cabinet if it turns out to be staffed with crackpots.

"Could you imagine a headline like that accompanying a conservative appointment?"

Gee...you're not implying that this type of headline was never used during the Bush administration are you? /s

And, to prove we are strong on science, we’ll shut down the space program.

Well....regarding Climate Change:

Man-Made Global Warming Supposedly Began 5,000 Years Ago

Caused by the Asian Rice Paddies....and cutting the European Forests.

Science magazine reports that John Holdren, a professional environmental judgment day doomsayer, is going to become Barack Obama’s top science adviser.

Re Krauthammer column, Dick Morris put forth the same diagnosis of Obama strategy one night on Fox — have “moderate” point men to handle economy and foreign policy, while he concentrates on his domestic (social) agenda. This is scarey.
