Legendary conservative blogger Doug Ross (h/t Phil Aver)notes that Barack Obama has proposed to shoot pollution particles into the stratosphere to reduce the sun's rays and reduce global warming. It seems that not all the mental cases are in Creedmore. One is in the Whitehouse:
"No, this isn't a hungover April Fool's joke. The Obama administration means business on climate change, even if its plans will destroy businesses large and small. Fox News reports that 'Obama May Block Sun's Rays to End Global Warming'."

Conservative Blogosphere Lampoons Obama's Subservient Bow
Larwyn just forwarded some grand remarks about Obama's subservient bow. The blogosphere is where the action is at. The pissant media has been sprayed with pesticide. It's dead.
Don Suber: "Presidential aide to Politico: 'It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah.'...It fooled the Saudis. Politico cited a newspaper columnist in Saudi Arabia, who wrote: 'Obama wished to demonstrate his respect and appreciation of the personality of King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz...'”
Gateway Pundit: "Bummer. It looks like the MSM will be forced to report on this now."
Atlas Shrugs: "Please see his left hand hanging in front of his thing."
Just One Minute: "The White House explains that Obama didn't bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. In fact, Obama noticed on the floor a plan to revive the global economy and cure AIDS and bent over to pick it up..."
Ace of Spades: "BTW- The whole Obama is taller thing? No sale. I'm 6"5' (real world, not fakey Internet height). I'm taller than a good 90% or so of people and I've never bowed low enough to check out a guys package while shaking his hand"
Jules Crittenden: "It Wasn’t A Bow...It was a posture malfunction."
Riehl World View: "This has to rank as the dumbest PR move this WH has made. Do they really believe they can control the media narrative so completely that they can say whatever they want and it'll become the ultimate record?"

Obama's Subservient Bow
In recent months I have been blogging about the American republic's failure. Republicanism requires an informed citizenry and a committed culture. America's citizenry is ill-educated and bamboozled by "progressive"-dominated cultural institutions. American schools graduate illiterates who cannot grasp basic political issues, such as the central bank, that 19th century Americans with elementary educations had no trouble grasping. American education emphasizes Marx and Keynes, but ignores Locke and Jefferson.
As a result, medieval patterns appropriate to the Renaissance and before have recrudesced, and Americans have become comfortable with increasingly socialist values. Aristocrats like the Kennedys, the Bushes and the Clintons increasingly dominate politics. The two political parties represent charity and privilege, the two medieval political forces (church or charity and king or privilege). There is no individualist, freedom-based alternative. Thus, the philosophy that guided once-free America is dead and gone. In the view of today's neo-medieval politicians and social theorists, regulaton is preferable to freedom. Group authority and suppression are desirable, freedom is not.
The latest demonstration of America's increasingly medieval mindset and its betrayal of American republicanism is seen in Barack Obama's willingness to literally kowtow and bow to a foreign king. Not surprisingly, the media, which kowtows to Obama just as Obama kowtows to a king, has not covered this story. Obama does not display the spirit of a free American. He does not know what an American is. And the American news media does not know what a free press is.

Letter to Congressman Hinchey: The US Government Needs to Down Size
Dear Congressman Hinchey:
Why don't you and your fellow Congressmen deflate your puffed egos and reduce the federal budget by 50% or 60%? The recent bailouts are proof that you don't know what you're doing.
According to the Census Bureau, in 2007 the US government's direct expenditures or obligations were in excess of $2.5 trillion and other federal assistance, including direct loans, guaranteed loans and insurance, was almost $1.2 trillion. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Gross Domestic Product in 2008 was $14.3 trillion. Thus, US government spending is roughly (2.5 + 1.2) / 14.3 = 25.8% of GNP. This suggests that the federal government believes that 1/4 of the time it can make decisions that are better for society than private consumers can.
This past year has seen an escalation of federal government spending. It is hard to keep track of all the bailouts, subsidies, and handouts that the Bush-Obama administration and the US Congress have concocted, but it seems that these amounts substantially increase the percentage of Gross Domestic Product over which the federal government mistakenly imagines itself best fit to manage.
Rather, the 25% in 2007 was way too high. The federal government has proven that it is incompetent. The 25% should be slashed to the 10% it was in 1950.
If Congress has trouble deciding which government agencies to close, I have a suggestion. Since all government programs are useless, just cut randomly. After cutting the size of government to 10% of gdp, the next step would be to reduce taxation to 10% of gdp. Then people who are a lot smarter than you are, the American public, can begin to repair the damage that Congress has wrought. It will take many years because of your incredible stupidity and incompetence.
A 10% federal budget would still be 10% too high, but it would be a step in the right direction.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert
