LA Times: Wishes for 2010
LA Times ^ | January 1, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 01/01/2010 7:55:45 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

As is traditional, our first wish is for even more wishes to come true. We also wish for:

* Global warming deniers to have a banner year as the Arctic ice pack returns to its normal size. Unfortunately, we're not holding our breath on this one.

* The U.S. Senate to pass a climate bill that puts a price on carbon emissions, a critical step in preventing a catastrophic rise in global temperatures.

* California's Legislature and governor to finally get real about the prison crisis and approve a sensible plan for reducing the inmate population without endangering the public.

* Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

* The U.N. Security Council to impose real sanctions, with teeth, to discourage Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

* Congress to close the "gun-show loophole," which allows sales of used guns without federal background checks.

* The closure of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay.

* An end to "don't ask, don't tell."

* Erstwhile Vice President Dick Cheney to return to a secure, remote location.

* A spike in newspaper circulation.

a sensible plan for reducing the inmate population without endangering the public.

That's an easy one.

First find an abandoned mine shaft that is about a mile deep. Then start filling it with all the prisoners who are gang bangers -- which is most of the worst of them.

“Global warming deniers to have a banner year as the Arctic ice pack returns to its normal size. Unfortunately, we’re not holding our breath on this one.”

Not holding your breath? Not cutting back on lungular CO2 emissions?

And you call yourself a global warming alarmist.

The LA Times might get their spike in their circulation if they didn't spike stories at odds with their far left views.

They'll all be out of a job before they'd do that, though.

“California’s Legislature and governor to finally get real about the prison crisis and approve a sensible plan for reducing the inmate population without endangering the public.”

This absurd comment really says it all; the ‘have your cake and eat it, too’ mentality of fools who live in a bubble. What are these idiots smoking??

I hope the LA Times gets a spike in its newspaper circulation--the kind of spike all other vampires get at the end of the movie!

Clearly the LA Times' editorial department is staffed by whiney children...

Where's an adult when you need one?

They say that if 5 of their annual wishes comes true, that’s a good year. Last year, 10 came true so 2009 was a great year.

I’m thinking that your average guy would not think 2009 was a great year, but afterall, the liberal establishment feeds on the misery of others.

They have been looking at the spike in circulation for the last 8 years. It’s pointed down.
