'MISERY INDEX' HIGHEST IN 28 YEARS
When it comes to measuring the combination of unemployment and inflation, it doesn’t get much more miserable than this.
In fact, misery, as measured in the unofficial Misery Index that simply totals the unemployment and inflation rates, is at a 28-year high, reflective of how weak the economic recovery has been and how far there is to go.

Boehner, Obama Battle Over Libya
The war of words over the legality of US military involvement in Libya continues to escalate between House Speaker John Boehner and President Obama.
“The War Powers Act obviously doesn’t apply here, because there is no ‘war’ part,” Obama said after being challenged by Boehner. “Look, a war is when our soldier guys are shooting enemy soldier guys on the ground, usually from behind a bush. We’re not doing that, we’re shooting them from the air.”
Boehner called the President’s statement “exceptionally retarded, even coming from a man who believes there are 57 states, and willingly sleeps with Michelle.”
The White House immediately responded with the following sharply worded statement: “President Obama is quite aware that there are only 51 states, and we strongly condemn Mr. Boehner’s implication that sleeping with the First Lady denotes a lack of intelligence. Taste maybe, but certainly not intelligence.”

Tuesday was a great day for polar bears, but a not-so-hot day (literally) for the scaremongers and political opportunists who’ve been pushing “man caused climate change.” Because Tuesday was when the American Astronomical Society announced that the sun appears to be going into a quiet period unlike any we’ve seen in hundreds of years…and that the result may be a new ice age.
Scientists say the key is looking at sunspot activity, as there is a correlation between fewer sunspots and lower temperatures here on Earth. And way back in 1645…before industrialization, Humvees, Al Gore, “carbon credits,” or the EPA…a lack of sunspots occurred at the same time as the “Little Ice Age” – a devastatingly harsh period of freezing temperatures that lasted 70 years.
Put another way, comparing Man’s impact on the climate to that of the sun is like comparing a seagull fart to a Category Five Hurricane. Our climate changes and cycles, as it always has…because the sun changes and cycles, as it always has.
The records of history and climatology are perfectly clear. But politicians, opportunists and pseudo-scientists continue to spout nonsense…as they always have.

The reason Barack Obama was late for the 4th of July parade.
