It seems like only yesterday that President of the Earth Al Gore was claiming to every talking head that would let him get away with it that the scientific community was uniformly behind his view of global warming. Gore's claim, of course, is that human created greenhouse gases are going to be the end of the world as we know it unless we -- pretty much -- return to pre-industrialization modes of living within the next 10 years. Gore acknowledged that there were a few outliers who disagreed with him, but, as Gore assured Charlie Rose, these people were so far outside the mainstream science that they were on par with holocaust deniers. What a difference a ...

Our man Chuck never fails. He is as predictable as Hamburger Helper. Today, Chuck sounded off with another sanctimonious statement about something of no real importance, jumping on the Democratic-led bandwagon against Alberto Gonzales. "He has failed this country. He has lost the moral authority to lead. . . America is a nation of laws. In the interest of the American people, Alberto Gonzales should resign now." Yawn. To be sure, the Rascals are not big Gonzales fans. But goodness. Why in the world does Chuck Hagel feel a need to sound off on this sort of sidestory in the tones of the Gettysburg Address?  The words he chose took real deliberation to craft. Has this man nothing else to do with his time? The ...

Today a really, really important group known as the World Wide Fund for Nature issued a really, really important alarm about the world. Given that these are probably the most-concerned-about-the-earth-people in the whole wide world, well, we could not just ignore it, you know. This is not just any fly-by-who regional outfit with an eye on some insignificant social program. They are the Worldwide Fund for Nature after all. Anyway, the climate experts at the WWF have stumbled into some important news: the Earth has only 5 years to live. Really. 5 years. Al Gore, we know, we know, he said 10 years, but he was apparently sandbagging us with overly optimistic assumptions. That was 2 years ago anyway, and so its really 8 according to Al, but if you want to be conservative you better assume its 5, not 8. You better! SO that means if we wait 2 years -- ARE YOU LISTENING? I SAID 2 YEARS PEOPLE -- we will only have 3 years left to deal with this big huge problem that requires immediate attention right now. Really. If you don't believe it, then read this, you carbon drunk jerks. BUT DON'T WORRY: The Rascals to the rescue! You can help. Don't just sit around hand-wringing the bad news about the billions to be left homeless by the coming eco-disaster (OK, its just a billion, sorry about that-- don't mean to exaggerate) or the wipeout of 30% of all species. Radical action now can change this terrible reality, easily. We just have to have an upbeat attitude and take some affirmative action now. The key word here is radical. What radical action would you be willing to do to save the earth in the next 5 years?

Last week, our man Jeffy wondered whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi's snuggling up to Syria's state terrorist President Assad was an act of Treason, by violating Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution, by giving "aid and comfort to the enemy." Not a bad question. But what ever happened to the Logan Act allegations? The Logan Act, 15 U.S.C Section 953 expressly prohibits U.S. citizens to conduct foreign policy of the United States without authority . Here is the statute: § 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments. Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with ...

NBC is now reporting that Sir Charles of Nebraska is considering running for President as an independent. Someone pinch the Hound. Can it really be? Hagel running for President as an independent? We know our man well, but would he actually buy himself a one-way ride into the black hole of American Politics that also took Ross Perot and Ralph Nader from view? Completely fumble any possibility of running for the Senate in Nebraska again? And all by his own hand? Could there be any better bone for the Hound? But alas, the experienced Hounds among us know that such news is surely too good to be true. Our Senior Senator's modus operandi has not been ...

It has apparently been a while since Nancy Pelosi shook the dust of her Bible. In her "I'm-the-President-Too!" press release on the National Day of Prayer this past week, New Testament Nancy said this: “In its call to action, the Gospel of John says: 'Dear children, let us love not in word or speech, but in deed and in truth.' Today, let us commit that our prayers will also turn into action – acting out God’s love for all people, traditions, and faiths of the world." You will search quite a while to find this phrase in the Gospel of John. The verse is actually found in 1 John 3:18, which is about a hundred pages ...
