Captains Quarters brings to light something that you didn't see in the newspapers, or hear on the news.  Washington Post did a study of all of Congress and how they voted.  And guess who votes the party line more often?  That's right, the Democrats!  They win the award for being the most partisian!

 

Here's the list of the 5 most partisian congressmen in each congress group.

Now, Rep. Charles Norwood (R-GA) also came in at 100%, but he's excluded because he died in Feb.

 

 

And the Bottom 5 (the least partisian congressmen in congress):

 

 

Now, when you hear that Congress has an 18% approval rating, who can they thank for such a dismal rating?  The Democrats!  Not the Republicans!

 

Make sure you read the Captains Quarters post!  He's done much more than I've been able to.

Newsbusters does it again.  The UN has released a report indicating that the emission-cutting initiatives in the agreement have directly caused an increase in Ozone depleting gasses.  And from reading the report, it really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's paid any attention to the way specific countries have tried to get money.

 

The interesting thing about this is, you won't hear about it on the news today.  Or even read it in the local newspapers.  Why?  Because it's bad news for the liberal.  Reuters has published this, but I'm sure you won't read or hear about it anywhere else other than moderate to conservative news sites and blogs.

 

Personally, I think the "carbon credits" are a stupid way for people to make money.  It's a scam.

Every now and again, the press shows exactly how stupid they are.  Hot-Air has a nice shining example of the stupidity that runs amuck in todays news.  Here's the executive version.  There's an AP photojournalist who takes a picture of a lady holding up two rifle rounds.  AP then attaches the following caption to the image:

Now, again, look at the rounds.  Notice something odd?  Yes, the bullets are still in their casing.  If the bullets had actually been fired and "hit her house" then the bullets would look something like this:

On the left is a round that hasn't been fired, the two on the right have been fired.  Seems that the photographer Wissam al-Okaili thinks we're stupid and can't tell if a round has been fired or not.  I say this, because this isn't the only picture he's taken like this.  SnappedShot has another one that they are looking into and several links to other sites that have opinions (much more detailed than mine).  Hot-Air also has it linked in the original story.  My suspicion is that all of this is staged.

 

It seems that Photojournalists are always getting caught.  But it's pretty tough to fake photos and not get caught.  However, regular reporters never seem to get caught.  Odd, eh?
