Obama flies in personal trainer from Chicago--every week!

I have got to break into the community organizing racket. Somehow between that job, a short stint as a law professor, and one term as a U.S. Senator, Barack Obama gathered enough scrilla to fly in a personal trainer from Chicago to D.C. every week. Meanwhile couples who make $250,000 a year are being told to stop being greedy, accept the fact that they're rich, and hand over their money to the government--or else. As the article points out, carbon emissions from theses weekly excursions are quite substantial, but I won't get into that. On this blog, we just take it as a given that high-profile global warming advocates are disingenuous green-energy investors.

Why haven't we heard more about this?

Former NOAA official: Obama could have prevented Gulf disaster with controlled burn.

As someone who was born, raised, and lived in Louisiana for 22 years, I am outraged over how this spill was handled. I read this Gouget article when it first came out in May of 2010, then watched it go unmentioned by the press. In my Environmental Law class, I was disappointed but unsurprised to learn that none of the ultra-opinionated young men and women of the class had even heard this story. One particularly unkempt young man even accused me of making the story up. My speculation about why this story didn't make news is that BP agreed to take the fall in the media in exchange for being protected from bankruptcy by the damages agreements. Fishy, fishy stuff...
