These IPCC scientists check their facts the same way bloggers do... ie. not at all.

 | Random Observation about Human History · Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, Jan 13, 2010, 7:05 PM · 256 words · from atomapi · shorturl · I often read the “on this day” section of Wikipedia just out curiosity. It occurred to me one day that, according to the “on this day” records, not much happened before around 1500 A.D. |

| Recent Climate News· Krehbiel Commentary · · Sunday, Dec 13, 2009, 12:30 PM · 776 words · from atomapi · shorturl · 1 comment I'm hesitant to write about Climate-gate, because I don't want anyone to think that my beliefs align in any way with the beliefs of the myopic conservative mob. Still, there have been three recent incidents regarding climate change that further my own skepticism about what we were told was the "scientific consensus." :
I don't disagree with much of what you have said, but since the far Left set the standard for the meaning of conveniently-deleted data, they can hardly complain when the same standard is applied to data which purportedly supports their agenda. |

| Reuters: U.S. recession over, unemployment seen at 10 percent [link] · Krehbiel Commentary · Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009, 10:13 AM · 25 words · from delicious · So since the recession is "over," does that mean we won't be hearing any more stories about how bad the economy is? Just wondering.

| Gubernatorial Smackdown Tonight· Krehbiel Commentary · · Monday, Oct 12, 2009, 5:58 PM · 172 words · from atomapi · shorturl There’s a Virginia gubernatorial debate tonight at 8 PM (see Creigh’s writeup and Bob’s writeup). This one will actually be broadcast on local television (I think this is the first one but I’m not sure) so you won’t have to fight with streaming video to see it. |

Sadly, it won't be too much longer before no one is left alive to remember how bad Hitler really was, and there will be no more incidents of old men beating up clueless kids with Hitler signs.

| In opening salvo of campaign, Cantor foe acknowledges error | Richmond Times-Dispatch [link] · Krehbiel Commentary · Tuesday, Sep 15, 2009, 6:48 PM · 47 words · from delicious · This certainly doesn't bode well for the fledgling Diradour campaign. An easily-disproved accusation recycled from a blog post and a cave-in following the slightest pushback all in the same day. Plus, RTD didn't even put his name in the headline ("Cantor foe").

| Developer will make bid to challenge Cantor in 7th | Richmond Times-Dispatch [link] · Krehbiel Commentary · Monday, Sep 14, 2009, 7:32 PM · 36 words · from delicious · I'm glad someone is challenging Cantor, but I'd like it more if that person had some chance of winning. It seems the 7th District is the place where newbie Democrats go to kill their careers.

Am I missing something, or are these things a total waste of time? Have they always been this animated or is this a recent development? |

| Deeds v. McDonnell: The First Debate· Krehbiel Commentary · · Saturday, Jul 25, 2009, 7:12 PM · 669 words · from mwapi I thought I’d write a little review of the first debate between Bob McDonnell (R) and Creigh Deeds (D), which hopefully will not sound exactly like the hundred other partisan debate wrap-ups out there. |

| Catherine Crabill and the Erosion of Democracy· Krehbiel Commentary · · Sunday, Jul 19, 2009, 9:24 PM · 407 words I feel compelled to write a little bit about Catherine Crabill (R), who is running for delegate in Virginia’s 99th district against incumbent Albert Pollard (D). Normally you don’t hear much about local delegate races unless you happen to live in the area, but in this case she’s caught the attention of the mighty Huffington Post after her ballot box and bullet box remarks were caught on tape by a tracker. |

| Things Unrelated To Michael Jackson· Krehbiel Commentary · · Monday, Jul 13, 2009, 10:31 PM · 373 words Here are some things I’ve learned recently from the No Agenda podcast, which I have not seen mentioned anywhere else in mainstream media. (The podcast is a terrible production but at least they have interesting topics - usually.) Investigations on any of these subjects would make it much more interesting to watch the news. |

| Quick Thoughts on Sarah Palin’s Resignation· Krehbiel Commentary · · Saturday, Jul 4, 2009, 2:31 PM · 319 words Blogs on the right are saying Gov. Sarah Palin resigned because the left’s smear tactics finally got to her, blogs on the left are saying Gov. Palin quit because she’s dumb and irrational. Not too many people are saying what I think is at least one of the real reasons: She can make a heck of a lot more money on the public speaking circuit leading “Team Sarah” around the country than she can as governor, where there are too many pesky ethical considerations. |

| On the Climate Bill and the Worthless Congress· Krehbiel Commentary · · Wednesday, Jul 1, 2009, 9:13 PM · 333 words · 2 comments I’m no fan of Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) - in fact, I typically can’t stand the sound of his voice. But I applaud him for taking an hour to try to call attention to the way Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) Climate Bill (H.R.2454) was recently ramrodded through the House without anyone reading it. : You run a political commentary blog and you don't know what cap and trade is? WTF. :
I think of cap and trade as more of an economic topic. Politics is more sociological - finding ways to deceive people and so forth. |

| Virginia Primaries this Tuesday [updated]· Krehbiel Commentary · · Sunday, Jun 7, 2009, 8:30 AM · 176 words · 3 comments This Tuesday is primary day in Virginia. : I'm not sure that I'd call Creigh Deeds the "southwest Virginia guy". He's from Bath County. West, for sure, but a long way from southwest Virginia. : Corrected. :
Actually a friend of my wife's in Blacksburg claims he's their guy so it might be debatable; anyway I wasn't trying to be controversial. |

| Two Hands· Krehbiel Commentary · · Tuesday, Jun 2, 2009, 10:49 PM · 300 words · 2 comments This is a comparison of the personal convictions of two people. On the one hand, we have Dr. George Tiller. He was a doctor who worked for what he believed was the good of his patients in a quiet and unassuming way. : You have something to say to me, say it to my face, you flabby fuck face. I'll give you my name, address and phone number. I'll meet you half way between where you are and I am. :
Not necessary; your reasoned argument has convinced me that I must have misjudged your character. Carry on with your important work. |

| Just Say No To Patented Genes· Krehbiel Commentary · · Thursday, May 14, 2009, 8:35 AM · 155 words The ACLU is often criticized (rightly, in some cases) for going overboard with their lawsuits, but this is one case where I fully support them: ACLU: Human Gene Patents Infringe Speech. |

| Police GPS Trackers and Clean Water· Krehbiel Commentary · · Monday, May 11, 2009, 7:25 PM · 236 words I probably mentioned this before, but I’ve been listening to the No Agenda podcast a lot during my commute lately. The show is not very polished and it goes off the rails quite a lot, but it’s still very refreshing to hear a perspective on current events that isn’t rooted entirely in Democratic or Republican talking points. And hey, it’s free. |

| Obama’s First 100 Days· Krehbiel Commentary · · Sunday, May 3, 2009, 6:22 PM · 388 words I don’t really have much to say about Obama’s First 100 Days. There was some good stuff (stem cell research) and some bad stuff (bowing to that Saudi king). All in all, it was pretty ordinary for a presidential administration, as far as I’m concerned. Most of the entertaining moments of The First 100 Days came from The Daily Show, to be perfectly honest. |
| Tea Parties, Two Weeks Later· Krehbiel Commentary · · Sunday, May 3, 2009, 4:35 PM · 62 words Speaking of tea parties, it’s been roughly two and half weeks since the big FOX News Tea Party thing. As expected, all of those people that “weren’t going to take it anymore” meekly went back to their homes having accomplished absolutely nothing. Presumably they’re now sitting comfortably in their homes, watching YouTube and American Idol. True patriots, all. |

| The Best Tea Party Wrapup· Krehbiel Commentary · · Saturday, Apr 18, 2009, 10:29 PM · 39 words Normally I would write something about those silly partisan social gatherings aka. “tea parties,” but in this case, all I have to do is write: See The Daily Show, April 16. |
