More Good News For NY State Residents

There's an old saying. "Nobody's right to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness is safe as long as the Legislature is in session". Originally intended to describe the Federal government, it really has meaning if you live in NY state. Fortunately residents can rest easy for a while now that these hooples and crooks have gone home (for a few months at least).
The only high points of note this year were the arrests and indictments of both the Democratic leader of the State Assembly (Shelly Silver) and the Republican leader of the State Senate (Dean Skelos).

Good riddance.

Civil Disobedience Is No Longer The Property Of The Left

In a move reminiscent of Canada when they required the registration of all long guns, NY state residents have responded to Andrew Cuomo's SAFE Act in the same manner.

Non-compliance.

At this point only 4% of all the semi-auto carbines and rifles estimated to be in the hands of gun owners in the state have been registered. At this time a court case is underway to repeal several sections of the SAFE act. How that plays out could take some time and the outcome, knowing the judicial system in NY state, is far from certain.

But as the saying goes, hope springs eternal.

"Help Me!! We're Drowning In NYC"!! Well, Maybe Not...

I used to do Climate Change Mondays here at the blog, but kind of got away from it. I know it makes me a "Climate Change Denier", to a large number of people, but fuck em'. Accordingly I bring you this little gem that reminds us of all the fanciful bullshit that's been spouted over the last decade or so under the term of "settled science".

The Effect of U.S. Shale On The Geopolitical Landscape

Well, Cuomo will never allow it in NY State, but even old "angry Eyes Cuomo" won't be Governor forever.
In any event, as the following article shows, shale oil is rewriting the immediate future of energy production not just in the U.S.A, but in the world.
