Non-Sequiturs

All around retard and hypocritical fat-ass, Michael Moore says "Capitalism is evil and must be replaced." With what? Fascism or Communism and their millions dead? All out socialism (no, Sweden doesn't count because they allow private property) like Hugo Chavez is going for? Hunter-gatherer, where your life expectancy is under 20 years? Feudalism? Get real. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, Capitalism is the worst form of economics except for all those others that have been tried.


Next up, sub-headline in today's fish wrap:

Organic farms face particular risk from bug-borne disease

Really, is it that whole no pesticides thing? If you don't spray for bugs you run a greater risk of bug borne disease? Dang. Clearly it's time to call "Obvious Man." I appreciate that people don't like pesticides because they fear the unknown effects, but shouldn't we at least consider the known effects of not using pesticides.


On to Van Jones, who probably didn't amount to a hill of beans, but who recently resigned. The LA Times headline:


Van Jones decries 'lies and distortions,'quits as Obama's environmental advisor

Really? Think hard about the position this puts your former boss, the President. If it is all lies, then his failure to defend you indicates a lack of moral courage of the worst sort. Are you saying that our President is a coward? And if these were not lies? Then your presence in the administration indicates total incompetence with it's vetting process. So which is it, cowardice or incompetence? I'm not holding my breath for a response.

BTW, Hotair previously documented how none of the MSM outlets like the NYT, NBC, ABC, WaPo had printed a SINGLE WORD about the whole Van Jones controversy before his resignation. So when the NYT published the article, citing the controversy surrounding this man, how were their readers to know? This is full on journalistic malpractice. If you can't cover the controversy, don't cover the resignation.
