Your Green Obama Bucks At Work

The Department of Energy announced Thursday a $100,000 prize for software developers to come up with mobile applications to tell consumers how much energy they are using.
But there’s already an app for that...(There are actually several)

A quick scan of the iTunes and Android markets shows nearly two dozen existing applications that accomplish the same purpose — helping users keep track of their energy consumption at home.

Just last year there was another Energy department contest to develop the best LED lightbulb. The prize was over a 10 million dollars and the winner was...PHILLIPS. The price of this "new" bulb...over $50.00.

The catch is...You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy the same bulb for $19.00.

Obama's Dim Bulbs

U.S. Taxpayer paid Philips Global $10 million and all they got was a $50 light bulb

The Department of Energy paid Dutch energy-giant Philips Global $10 million for its newest LED light bulb. Now the two are trying to figure out what to do with it.

The bulb, which is slated to replace the 60-watt incandescent light bulb lawmakers banned in 2007, costs $50, well above the $1 consumers are used to spending on traditional bulbs and double the price of many existing LED lights.

The department has gone from judge to partner to help Philips sell the product. It is now trying to coax utility companies to grant discounts and rebates to customers in order to create demand for the light bulb....Read More

As Obummer continues to drum up his useful idiots with class envy and race baiting rhetoric, what we see here is just another example of the "Crony Capitalism" which has become the true hallmark of this regime.

 Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., dismissed President Obama's "verbal tantrums" about the budget and derided the idea that the Buffett Rule is "budget pixie dust" that will bring fiscal stability.

Q: How many Obama voters does it take to change a lightbulb? A: None. Hoping that it would change is quite enough. Q: How many autoworkers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: 17 at GM, Ford and Chrysler; 1 at Honda, Hyundai and Toyota. Q: How many Chicago pols does it take to change a lightbulb? A: F--- you, what am I gettin' outta this? Q: How many Democrats does it take to change a lightbulb? A: It's burnt out on the Republican side, so we're not changing it. Q: How many MSM journalists does it take to change a lightbulb? A: No need, Obama is the Light.

 

Q: How many Congresspersons does it take to change a lightbulb? A: None, but they'll allocate a few billion to achieve change under the Obama Stimulus Bill. Q: How many Daily Kos bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: It was Bush's fault the bulb burned out; it'll get fixed by itself when he leaves office. Q: How many Minnesota Canvassing Board members does it take to change a lightbulb?  A: Depends. They'll only change it if it looks like a vote for Coleman.

A: There have been no lightbulbs since the USSR collapsed. Q: How many North Koreans does it take to change a lightbulb? A: What's a lightbulb? Q: How many Hollywood celebrities does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Six to make movies about evil lightbulb companies, twelve to lecture about the unequal distribution of light on late night talk shows and nine to get caught with drugs hidden in cartons of lightbulbs. Q: How many Obama appointees does it take to change a lightbulb? A: His team is currently in the process of finding someone from the Clinton Administration who knows how. Q: How many Caroline Kennedys does it take to change a lightbulb? A: She's never thought about it but now that you mention it, she'd love for someone to change it for her. Q: How many President Elect Obamas does it take to change a lightbulb? A: The bulb is a lot more burnt out than we thought. Clearly, the bulb has deteriorated. It might not be changed as quickly as we would like.

 

Mobilize Earth!!!

Earth Hour has come and gone without much of a whimper from the Lefties or the Warmists out there trying to scare us into dismantling the capitalist system.

BUT FEAR NOT...Earth Day, April 22nd is fast approaching, and as usual it is closely followed by the worldwide Commie May Day celebrations worldwide.

However, many a plan of mice and men may go awry and this Climate Change Train is coming off the tracks.

You gotta love it when the Earth gives back the love, especially today.

From Watts Up With That

Those who have been following NSIDC and JAXA sea ice plots have noted that this has been an extraordinary year so far, with Arctic sea ice hitting the “normal” line on some datasets. Today the Earth gave back more for us.



As of today, JAXA shows that we have more ice than any time on this date for the past 8 years of Aqua satellite measurement for this AMSRE dataset. Yes, it isn’t much, but if this were September, and the sea ice minimum was down by this much compared to all other years, you can bet your sweet bippy we’d see it screamed in news headlines worldwide.

Of course some will argue that it “doesn’t matter” in the context of trend, or that it’s just a “weather” blip. Let us remind our friends of such blips the next time a heat wave or a storm is cited as proof of global warming.

What can be said about the short term trend in Arctic sea ice is that for the past two years, it has recovered from the historic low of 2007. It recovered in 2008, and more in 2009. If today’s Earth Day gift is any indication, it appears that it is on track now for a third year of recovery in 2010 as we’ve been saying at WUWT since fall of 2009.

Read more and see more graphs detailing the actual growth of arctic ice at Watts Up With That.

Here is some great e-mail intercourse between Al Gore and Olberman that was posted on WUWT recently...

FROM: Keith Olbermann
TO: Al Gore
DATE: June 18, 2011

Dear Albert,

“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”

Those words come from Samuel Clemens, perhaps better known to you as literary colossus Mark Twain.

I need not tell you, Al, that I am that scarce man who refuses to remain silent when he sees injustice, that patriot who stands tall and strong and brave, even when hated and scorned. And I do see injustice – even here at Current TV.

I tried to remedy my current morass without coming to you, Al, but with no remedy forthcoming, I feel compelled to bring to your attention my roadblock, which you shall note is something far more severe than a mere speed bump.

In the new studio for my show, I find no golden scepter despite my explicit request to Joel Hyatt for one. This will be an indispensable part of my new show and I see no reason why I have to justify its expense.

Also, the Current proletariat seem to have no inhibitions about walking up to me and freely engaging me in conversation, as if I have time for their verbal meanderings. For all their faults, my employers at MSNBC made it explicitly clear that if someone wanted to communicate with me, they could do so — but only through letters written in calligraphy that were deposited in a receptacle outside my office between 2:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.

Why has this same policy not yet been communicated at Current?

In a letter written in his jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama at a time of great tumult, Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote prophetically: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Will you fix my injustices, Al?

Yours Truly,
Keith Theodore Olbermann
Cornell University, Class of 1979

p.s. We also have to replace stinky my car driver — pronto!!!

KIRSTI'S SHOTGUN RAINBOW

Outdoor Life...Yep this video is cool, but like most cool things, it is also unnecessarily dangerous. Kristi, bless her soul, has no hearing protection and is wearing sunglasses instead of shooting glasses. Oh yeah, and there's a large, pellet-ricocheting, rock wall on the other bank.

Verdict: Awesome video, but please don't try this one at home.

The Fix Is In

FOREIGN COMPANY BUYS U.S. ELECTION RESULTS REPORTING FIRM

I discovered this news on The Savage Nation. His new book "Trickle Down Tyranny" details this information on page 25. I can see now why Obummer told Medvedev that "When he is elected he will have more flexibility". Voter fraud, and BO's personally selected  interests will make sure the 2012 election day count goes in the proper LEFTIST direction...More illegal voters found here... 

By Bev Harris
http://www.blackboxvoting.org

In a major step towards global centralization of election processes, the world's dominant Internet voting company has purchased the USA's dominant election results reporting company.

When you view your local or state election results on the Internet, on portals which often appear to be owned by the county elections division, in over 525 US jurisdictions you are actually redirected to a private corporate site controlled by SOE software, which operates under the name ClarityElections.com.

The good news is that this firm promptly reports precinct-level detail in downloadable spreadsheet format. As reported by BlackBoxVoting.org in 2008, the bad news is that this centralizes one middleman access point for over 525 jurisdictions in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. And growing.

As local election results funnel through SOE's servers (typically before they reach the public elsewhere), those who run the computer servers for SOE essentially get "first look" at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.

In 2004, many Americans were justifiably concerned when, days before the presidential election, Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell redirected Ohio election night results through the Tennessee-based server for several national Republican Party operations.

This is worse: This redirects results reporting to a centralized privately held server which is not just for Ohio, but national; not just USA-based, but global.
 
A mitigation against fraud by SOE insiders has been the separation of voting machine systems from the SOE results reports. Because most US jurisdictions require posting evidence of results from each voting machine at the precinct, public citizens can organize to examine these results to compare with SOE results. Black Box Voting spearheaded a national citizen action to videotape / photograph these poll tapes in 2008.

With the merger of SOE and SCYTL, that won't work (if SCYTL's voting system is used). When there are two truly independent sources of information, the public can perform its own "audit" by matching one number against the other.

These two independent sources, however, will now be merged into one single source: an Internet voting system controlled by SCYTL, with a results reporting system also controlled by SCYTL.
With SCYTL internet voting, there will be no ballots. No physical evidence. No chain of custody. No way for the public to authenticate who actually cast the votes, chain of custody, or the count.

SCYTL is moving into or already running elections in: the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, India and Australia.
SCYTL is based in Barcelona; its funding comes from international venture capital funds including Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker.
