Megan McArdle on ClimateGate: The data doesn’t have to be faked to be wrong. George goes to GMA. Of course he will: “Obama to personally push bank CEOs to lend more” What do you mean, “you people?” Thomas the Tank Engine is an insidious example of right-wing classism and sexism being taught to your children, says some British academic with too much time on her hands. Thomas Friedman vs. Jonah Goldberg on ClimateGate Can the GOP take the Senate? “Democrats now trail Republicans by four points in Gallup’s generic ballot poll. In 1994, the year the GOP took control of Congress, it wasn’t until March that Republicans took the lead in that poll-and then only by one point and for a short period of time.” Losing the San Francisco Chronicle columnists: Health reform was the subject of Obama’s Tuesday e-mail, which proclaimed in its heading, “We will not back down.” Addressing me by my first name, which I assume is in acknowledgment that I, like the millions of other suckers with whom he so intimately corresponds, had contributed to his campaign, he began with a clarion call for yet another contribution. Chalk up another 500 to the list of jobs President Obama will need to create or save. A Pittsburgh-based coal company, CONSOL Energy, will lay off nearly 500 of its West Virginia workers next year, and its CEO blames environmentalists dead-set against mountaintop mining who have waged “nuisance” lawsuits for the job loss.
