Blowing the dust of wacky Wong stunts
Piers Akerman
THE dust-storm-that-ate-Sydney has nothing on the bulldust storm Kevin Rudd’s Labor Government has generated on climate change. - I think you are sugar coating this for third world nations, Piers. They will not fare well out of this enormous pork barrel. In much the same way as battlers were supposed to benefit from Rudd's $900 give away of national wealth, no one got wealthy, but the nation has been made vastly poorer. So too, will third world nations suffer under the ridiculous climate change model being spruiked by Rudd and Wong. Of what benefit to these nations will it be for them to have coal fired power stations and oil refineries when they have neither infrastructure nor health care plan to deal with them? It will be worse than the worst excesses of communist industrial development. This is going to be a planned tragedy far exceeding the industrial accident of Union Carbide in India. All that so Rudd can have a pork barrel he can share with Obama to get re elected. But it isn't about Rudd or Obama, they are merely the face of corrupt left wing liberal politics, and will be long gone before all their ridiculous tragedies foisted on the world are undone. Did anyone else notice the absurd ‘Worst storm in history’ online headline yesterday? It was no where near the worst storm in history. It was an inconvenient dust storm, highlighting what will be left of Australia when Rudd is done. - ed.
Playing with the heads and the future of Australians for generations to come is RuddDD Ball replied to George
Wong and PC socialist Labor.
However, sadly, the polls indicate the man in the street is very happy with Rudds PM performance at the helm of the ship of state.
How to account for Rudds extraordinary approval rating is beyond me.
One lucid reason could be the understandable upopularity of Malcolm Turnbull whose knifing
of all who stood the way of his “ascendency”
to the leadership of the Liberal Party.
I see Turnbull as driven, as are those closest to him, in his determination to achieve his personal agenda and if he wrecks the Liberal Party and the coalition in the process too bad.
The Liberals should be fielding someone the voters like and trust not indulging the ego driven Turnbull juggernaut. A juggernaut whose judgement is seriously deficient.
Turnbull is Rudd and Labor’s greatest asset
and yet the Liberal Party refuses to aknowledge
what everyone else can see.
The Australian electorate is crying out for a credible and trustworthy conservative alternative leader and potential PM something which is being pigheadedly denied them to humour Turnbull.

I don’t like MT but I respect him. I don’t agree with all that he says, but I feel the depth of anger expressed about him to be overstated. I don’t think it is a forgone conclusion the libs will lose the next election, but they can if there is no unity of purpose, which should not be confused with the ALP ideal of unity of ideas. It is all right for me to disagree with MT on substantial issues, as the conservative movement is a broad church. However, imagine how the world would end if Wong admitted she didn’t agree with Rudd’s choice of hair color, or felt he could improve his image wearing platform shoes. Rudd’s popularity is related to the misreporting on significant issues, be that global warming, as Rudd addresses the UN with the expressed desire that the UN vote on the issue and ignore advice of research scientists who say it isn’t happening and the studied policies won’t work. Or, that Australia’s economic stocks have sharply declined under Rudd, with mistake after mistake covered with copious amounts of cash. The truth is censorship of conservative opinion has helped Rudd, and Mr Turnbull has done no wrong, but has made some good, tough decisions in the interests of serving Australia.

Investigating Undercover ACORN Watchdogs
By Bill O'Reilly
Congressman John Conyers and Barney Frank are calling for Congress to investigate ACORN and the actions of the two private citizens who exposed the organization. That is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo."
As you may know, Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe posed as a prostitute and a pimp, while conducting an undercover sting during which some ACORN officials were seen and heard aiding and abetting prostitution and child prostitution. The resulting scandal led to Congress de-funding ACORN and the organization firing a number of employees. ACORN's image is now in tatters.
Well, Congressman Frank of Massachusetts and Congressman Conyers of Michigan want Congressional investigators to see if the undercover duo broke any federal laws. In addition, they want to find out exactly what ACORN is guilty of and they want to examine the group's housing opportunities agenda.
In my opinion, Frank and Conyers should be giving Ms. Giles and Mr. O'Keefe congressional medals for exposing corruption that apparently the Feds were not able to expose.
Ironically, Conyers himself voted to de-fund ACORN. Now he says he miscast that vote. Frank didn't vote at all because he was attending the medal of honor ceremony for Sgt. Jared Monti.
Any investigation into the couple would be brutally wrong and come off as a partisan hatchet job. ACORN is celebrated by many left wingers, but that's not the point. With more than 30 criminal conviction on its resume, the organization cannot be trusted. And the overwhelming majority of Congress, people and senators, understand that.
Even if you disagree with the undercover duo's methods, what they exposed is very important. They do not deserve a federal witch hunt.

SKY DIFFERENT
Tim Blair
Sydney turned an attractive shade of orange yesterday morning, due to windstorms driving soil from Australia’s drought-dried inland:
Many assumed dawn’s orange glow indicated a massive fire. It didn’t, which was just as well, because I slept through the entire thing. The Daily Telegraph‘s Paul Kent:
As usual, the extreme conditions once again lit the debate about global warming.
The doomsayers claimed it was more evidence of a planet unable to sustain itself.
As NSW choked on its dust, they pointed out, bushfires raged in Queensland, while less than a day before an earthquake shook the dust off their light fittings in Melbourne’s outer suburbs.
As well, we heard, it was the worst dust storm in 70 years. Upon which the naysayers jumped. If it was the worst dust storm in 70 years, they pointed out, it means that it has happened before.
Some 70 years ago, well before global warming was ever dreamed up.
Further images here.
UPDATE. Via Irobot, another angle on the monster storm:

MILLIONAIRE ENJOYS WEALTH
Tim Blair
Chet Gulland reports from New York:
This happened last night …
Esquire sponsors the premiere of ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’. Michael Moore’s new shocking and inspirational doc about hard times in America and the evils of capitalism.
Following the Premiere, Esquire shuttles many of the attendees straight down to SoHo to the opening of The Esquire Apartment – a fully decadent penthouse where every square inch is paid for by a luxury sponsor. Hot tub, $120k pool table, $60k home theater, fine food. The only thing lacking was a doormat saying “Welcome To Capitalism.”
I had fun….But ooooh the irony. Everyone I talked to was like, “man, this is the most bizarre combination. I bet Michael Moore would freak out if he saw that this was happening."….And then he showed up. And was eating it up.
This is surprising how?

THE CAR NOT EVEN COMMIES WILL BUY
Tim Blair
Behold, China’s earth-saving petrol-electric hybrid BYD F3DM compact sedan:
They’ve sold just 100 of them since last December. By comparison, the Chinese bought four times as many Lincoln Navigators in 2005 alone—and then there are all the other Chryslers, Cadillacs and Fords. Looks like Tom Friedman’s beloved one party autocracy—which can “just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century”—hasn’t gotten around yet to bossing the citizenry into slow-rollin’ plug buggies.
