				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s been a great deal of concern about the foreclosures of American homes, and plummeting home values, but there&#8217;s a different kind of real estate crisis: A foreclosure of green values.</p>
<p><a href="http://solveclimate.com/blog/20080515/zero-americas-biggest-home-builders-are-going-green">Solve Climate reports</a> that out of the top dozen homebuilding corporations in the United States, not one has integrated environmentally-sustainable design into their work.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s a good thing, then, that homebuilding is down.  There will be less of a bad thing, until green building can increase.  Over the next four years, green homebuilding companies are expected to almost double their market share.</p>
<p>For someone a lucky, the wait won&#8217;t be that long. HGTV has held a Green Home Sweepstakes, and will <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/green_home/">announce the winner of an eco-friendly new home</a> in a few days.</p>

Well, how could it be getting cooler if there is global warming?  You know the answer.  It can't!  Global warming is a hoax.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am so sick and tired of hearing people say that the sky is falling, and talk about global warming as if it is actually taking place.  Why do they keep suppressing the truth?  Why won&#8217;t they let the public hear about the <b>real</b> scientific measurements that are taking place?</p>
<p>There is an alternative hypothesis that the liberal media never talks about: The Solar Hypothesis.  The Solar Hypothesis acknowledges that there was a period of warming, but observes that temperatures in many places on Earth are now actually cooling!  It&#8217;s true!  It&#8217;s happening right now, and if you don&#8217;t believe me, then I challenge you to start observing temperatures yourself instead of just accepting what <A href="http://www.cafepress.com/votedem2008/682129">Al Gore</a> is telling you.</p>
<p>The Solar Hypothesis holds that there are cycles of warming and cooling of the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere, but that these cycles of warming and cooling happen because of differences in the intensity of energy from the Sun as it hits the Earth, not because of human pollution.</p>
<p>The truth that Al Gore doesn&#8217;t want you to know is that temperatures all across the United States have been getting cooler for a long time now &#8211; for months, since late August last year.</p>
<p>Will there be a warming trend after this cooling trend is done?  Sure.  That&#8217;s only natural.  In fact, scientists who adhere to the Solar Hypothesis predict that there will be a short warming trend starting sometime soon and extending to the end of July, all across the Northern Hemisphere.</p>
<p>But, right now, there is a cooling trend, not global warming!  This cooling trend is part of a cycle, which real scientists understand.  It gets warmer, and colder, and warmer again.  Nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>This morning, for example, there was a region-wide warming trend, and maybe that&#8217;s what the global warming econuts are all worried about.  But, there is a current cooling trend.  The Solar Hypothesis predicts this, noting that the effect of the sun is getting weaker right now, and is weakening all the time.  At 6:05, as I write this, the temperature is about 45 degrees, but by the end of the night, it could well be below freezing!</p>
<p>Take that, Al Gore.  How is that global warming?  The temperature is getting colder, you envirofascist!</p>
<p>Never mind what the scientific establishment says about this study and that study.  You know, you can get research to say anything you want to.  You can trust me because I&#8217;m asking you to think logically, and I trust your intelligence, unlike those pointy headed university welfare cases.</p>
<p>Just look around you and think.  While you slept last night, dreaming the Green dreams that the Earth Firsters put into your head, the USA was getting colder, not warmer!  Well, how could it be getting cooler if there is global warming?  </p>
<p>You know the answer.  It can&#8217;t!  Global warming is a hoax.</p>
<p>For the benefit of readers who don&#8217;t know me: <font size=+5>Wink!</font></p>

		<title>Blast From The Past: How Much Was Gasoline When Bush Took Office?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[How much did a gallon of gasoline cost when George W. Bush took office (and I put the emphasis on took)?

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This far out blast from the past come from the <a href="http://www.dems.gov/index.asp?Type=B_PR&#038;SEC={D68CD0B2-1442-4804-9F6B-AF67DE7FF585}&#038;DE={FDD09C4F-E958-4E13-A92B-179C2FAC6FEA}">Democratic Caucus</a>:</p>
<p>How much did a gallon of gasoline cost when George W. Bush took office (and I put the emphasis on took)?</p>
<p>$1.39</p>
<p>Can you imagine how much your monthly budget would change if the price of gasoline were back down to that level?</p>
<p>It can be done &#8211; if America invests heavily in solar, wind, and geothermal power.  When I say &#8220;America invests&#8221;, I mean the American government.  </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s end the economy-destroying military occupation of Iraq, and redirect that budget to implementing green power, back here in the USA where the investment will be returned to the government in the form of taxes resulting from a stronger, more efficient economy.  Those bullets in Iraq don&#8217;t bring anyone any economic benefit.  Windmills keep on giving, long after their initial deployment.</p>
<p>Drop energy prices, not bombs.</p>
