Terrifying

Posted by Devil's Kitchen at 1/28/2009 09:00:00 pm

Al Gore's hearing in front of the Senate was not, alas, postponed because of the cold weather after all. Still, the fat windbag's star is waning... But, what's this? Someone even more stupid than Gore!

The creepiest moment of the day at Gore's hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee came when Sen. Ben Cardin (D., MD) called, in the context of any new international global warming treaty, for international "support for uniform scientific information so that we all are operating with the same set of facts."

As Tom Nelson points out...

Gulp. Boy, that actual scientific method is really proving inconvenient.

Yes, yes it is. Still, here are some facts for you, Senator Cardin:

The world may or may not be warming. Honestly, we don't really know.

The world may or may not be warmer than at any time since the last ice age. But, honestly, we don't really know.

If there is some warming trend, man may or may not be contributing to it. Honestly, we don't really know.

Ah, fuck it—you get the idea...

I hope that helps, Senator...?

Letters From A Tory said...: They might all be operating with the same set of 'facts' - I'm just curious about how will decide what is 'fact' and what is not.; 1/29/2009 09:52:00 am
Roger Thornhill said...: LfaT, that is indeed the point. This is a Religion and they are attempting to create a Canon. To talk of anything else will be blasphemous!

Maybe "religion" is hard wired in some people. They just HAVE to have it in their lives and demand that others "obey".; 1/29/2009 10:05:00 am
Verity said...: What's never mentioned is, Mars is on same warming cycle as us - and they don't have any petrol-driven cars, planes or industries! No diesel-powered logging of "rain forests"! And they don't have any extravagant use of energy-inefficient light bulbs!

It's a miracle!; 1/29/2009 06:13:00 pm
JuliaM said...: Well, even the Sainted One doesn't seem to believe that Americans "can no longer keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times"

Some Americans, anyway...; 1/29/2009 06:34:00 pm
ItAintHalfTepidMum said...: One thing we can all be sure of is that the world may be heating up and it may or may not be caused by man's activities and not necessarily through factors of astronomy, or not, maybe. To the barricades!; 1/30/2009 07:46:00 am
whoops said...: verity- doesn't mars also have a high concentration of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere, and yet somehow remain very cold? funny that.; 1/30/2009 08:05:00 am

150W and 100W gone. Stock up on 60W and 40W especially if you need non standard shapes. Notional exit (60W) date Jan 2010 but they will disappear by Nov.; 1/30/2009 09:26:00 am

Testimonials

"The best British political/libertarian blog on the web. Consistently excellent but not for the squeamish."—Christopher Snowdon
"[He] runs the infamous and fantastically sweary Devil’s Kitchen blog, and because he’s one of the naughtiest geeks (second only to the incredibly, incredibly naughty Guido Fawkes) he’s right at the top of the evil dork hierarchy."—Charlotte Gore
"I met the Devil's Kitchen the other night. What a charming young man he is, and considerably modest too..."—Peter Briffa
"The Devil's Kitchen exposes hypocrisy everywhere, no holds barred."—Wrinkled Weasel
"People can still be controversial and influential whilst retaining integrity—Devil's Kitchen springs to mind—and attract frequent but intelligent comment."—Steve Shark, at B&D
"Sometimes too much, sometimes wrong, sometimes just too much but always worth a read. Not so much a blog as a force of nature."—The Nameless Libertarian
"The Devil's Kitchen—a terrifying blog that covers an astonishing range of subjects with an informed passion and a rage against the machine that leaves me in awe..."—Polaris
"He rants like no one else in the blogosphere. But it's ranting in an eloquent, if sweary, kind of way. Eton taught him a lot."—Iain Dale
"But for all that, he is a brilliant writer—incisive, fisker- extraordinaire and with an over developed sense of humour... And he can back up his sometimes extraordinary views with some good old fashioned intellectual rigour... I'm promoting him on my blogroll to a daily read."—Iain Dale
"... an intelligent guy and a brilliant writer..."—A Very British Dude
"... the glorious Devil's Kitchen blog—it's not for the squeamish or easily offended..."—Samizdata
"... a very, smart article... takes a pretty firm libertarian line on the matter."—Samizdata
"By the way, DK seems to be on fucking good form at the moment."—Brian Mickelthwait
"Perhaps the best paragraph ever written in the history of human creation. It's our Devil on fine form."—Vindico
"Devil's Kitchen is the big name on the free-market libertarian strand of the British blogosphere... Profane rants are the immediate stand-out feature of DK's blog, but the ranting is backed up by some formidable argument on a wide range of issues particularly relating to British and European parliamentary politics, economics, and civil liberties."—Question That
"... an excellent, intelligent UK political blog which includes a great deal of swearing."—Dr Aubrey Blumsohn
"I like the Devil's Kitchen. I think it's one of the best written and funniest blogs in the business."—Conservative Party Reptile
"The. Top. UK. Blogger."—My Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
"For sheer intelligence, erudition and fun, Iain Dale's Diary, Cranmer and Devil's Kitchen are so far ahead of the rest I don't see how they can figure in a top ten. They are the Beatles, Stones and Who of the blog world; the Astair, Bogart and Marlon Brando of the blog world; the Gerswin, Porter and Novello of the blog world; the Dot Cotton, Pat Butcher, Bette Lynch of the blog world..."—Wrinkled Weasel
"It's the blogging equivalent of someone eating Ostrich Vindaloo, washed down by ten bottles of Jamaican hot pepper sauce and then proceeding to breathe very close to your face while talking about how lovely our politicians are... But there's much more to his writing than four letter words."—Tom Tyler
"God bless the Devil's Kitchen... Colourful as his invective is, I cannot fault his accuracy."—Tom Paine
"The Devil's Kitchen is a life-affirming, life-enhancing blog ... This particular post will also lead you to some of the best soldiers in the army of swearbloggers of which he is Field Marshal."—The Last Ditch

"The always entertaining Mr Devil's Kitchen..."—The Times's Comment Central
"Frankly, this is ranting of the very highest calibre."—The Nameless Libertarian
"I don't mean it literally, or even metaphorically. I just find that his atheism aside, I agree with everything the Devil (of Kitchen fame...) says. I particularly enjoy his well crafted and sharp swearing, especially when addressed at self righteous lefties..."—The Tin Drummer
"Spot on accurate and delightful in its simplicity, Devil's Kitchen is one of the reasons that we're not ready to write off EUroweenie-land just yet. At least not until we get done evacuating the ones with brains."—Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler
"This hugely entertaining, articulate, witty Scottish commentator is also one of the most foul-mouthed bloggers around. Gird up your loins and have a look. Essential reading."—Doctor Crippen
"The Devil's Kitchen is one of the foremost blogs in the UK. The DK is bawdy, foul-mouthed, tasteless, vulgar, offensive and frequently goes beyond all boundaries of taste and decency. So why on earth does Dr Crippen read the DK? Because he reduces me to a state of quivering, helpless laughter."—Doctor Crippen's Grand Rounds
"DK is a take-no-prisoners sort of libertarian. His blog is renowned for its propensity for foul-mouthed invective, which can be both amusing and tiresome by turns. Nevertheless, he is usually lucid, often scintillating and sometimes illuminating."—Dr Syn
"If you enjoy a superior anti-Left rant, albeit one with a heavy dash of cursing, you could do worse than visit the Devil's Kitchen. The Devil is an astute observer of the evils of NuLabour, that's for sure. I for one stand converted to the Devil and all his works."—Istanbul Tory
"... a sick individual."—Peter Briffa
"This fellow is sharp as a tack, funny as hell, and—when something pisses him off—meaner than a badger with a case of the bullhead clap."—Green Hell
"Foul-mouthed eloquence of the highest standard. In bad taste, offensive, immoderate and slanderous. F***ing brilliant!—Guest, No2ID Forum
"a powerfully written right-of-center blog..."—Mangan's Miscellany
"I tend to enjoy Devil's Kitchen not only because I disagree with him quite a lot of the time but because I actually have to use my brain to articulate why."—Rhetorically Speaking
"This blog is currently slamming. Politics certainly ain't all my own. But style and prose is tight, fierce, provocative. And funny. OK, I am a child—swear words still crack a laugh."—Qwan
"hedonistic, abrasive but usually good-natured..."—The G-Gnome

"The Devil's Kitchen: really very funny political blog."—Ink & Incapability
"I've been laffing fit to burst at the unashamed sweariness of the Devil's Kitchen ~ certainly my favourite place recently."—SoupDragon
"You can't beat the writing and general I-may-not-know-about-being-polite-but-I-know-what-I-like attitude."—SoupDragon
"Best. Fisking. Ever. I'm still laughing."—LC Wes, Imperial Mohel
"Art."—Bob
"It made me laugh out loud, and laugh so hard—and I don't even get all the references... I hope his politics don't offend you, but he is very funny."—Furious, WoT Forum
"DK himself is unashamedly right-wing, vitriolic and foul mouthed, liberally scattering his posts with four-letter-words... Not to be read if you're easily offended, but highly entertaining and very much tongue in cheek..."—Everything Is Electric
"This blog is absolutely wasted here and should be on the front page of one of the broadsheets..."—Commenter at The Kitchen
"[This Labour government] is the most mendacious, dishonest, endemically corrupt, power-hungry, incompetent, illiberal fucking shower of shits that has ruled this country..."—DK
