These pics were taken by a member of the Red, White, and Dude Nation at 6am on June 11, 2008 in Great Falls, Montana.  Remember this next time you hear the media crying about the massive 91 degree heat wave in the Northeast.

Obama dropped a steaming pile of horsesqueeze on the campaign trail this week with his economic plan.  It was the prototypical Socialist Democrat plan, by identifying every hair-lipped loser and offering up a new government program to channel money to support every failed behavior Western Society allows, while vowing to punish the most successful Americans by making them foot the bill.

BONUS AUDIO:  Hear Obama's wish to impose a windfall profits tax on Exxon to pay for all of us pathetic slobs' (especially the Reverend X) energy costs and "other bills!"

We've heard enough from these climate alarmist goons and it's time for them to put their money where their mouth is.  The Weather Channel's leading Global Warming Chicken Little is Dr. Heidi Cullen, who has been curiously silent about climate change over most of the record shattering cold winter across America, and proclaimed that the above average temperatures in the northeast is an indicator that we will be having more frequent and severe heat waves in the near future and that it re-enforces climate model predictions of global warming.

Sorry babe, we're not buying it.  With a record breaking winter under our belts, sunspot absence, record late snowfall, and Aspen slopes hosting skiers on the third weekend in June, we'll happily offer up the meteorological version of the Pepsi Challenge:

Let's wager $1000 (to the charity of the winner's choosing) that the frequency and magnitude of cold spells far out perform the frequency and magnitude of heat waves over the next three years (from Jan 1, 2008 to Jan 1, 2011).

I talked at great length last week about Congress and the Senate NOT having the Constitutional Authority to regulate CO2. To support that argument and ground it firmly in Constitutional Scholarship I present to you President James Madison's Veto of Henry Clay's "Bonus Bill" of 1815.

 Madison Clearly states that an enumerated power is just that and that it would have been senseless to define Enumerated Powers if they were mere suggestions of Congresses Power.

To refer the power in question to the clause "to provide for common defense and general welfare" would be contrary to the established and consistent rules of interpretation, as rendering the special and careful enumeration of powers which follow the clause nugatory and improper. - President James Madison
