Free speech, blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, yah right-had us all fooled there for a good while...
All is now revealed.
He's actually just doing this to score some points with the Denialist Lady Crowd.
"I shall be in court (in my amicus capacity) at 9.30am at the DC Court
of Appeals tomorrow for oral arguments between Big Climate's serial
litigant Michael E Mann and my co-defendants National Review, Rand
Simberg and the Competitive Enterprise Institute. I'm not a hotshot
lawyer or anything, so it's unclear to me, if Dr Mann loses, whether he
gets banged up in the big house or is merely out on probation with an
electronic bracelet. Evidently, he's already worrying about it. So I'm sure he's heartened to know that an environmental activist can still pull chicks behind bars. Maybe Jessica Alba can be his penpal."
"On the other hand, if it all goes south for me, the chances of a
denialist getting any babes on California's Denialist Row seems pretty
slim."
Pro tip: Dude-there are way, way cheaper and less all-consuming ways of scoring! Not that I would know anything about that, but I totally, only recently heard it from a friend. A reliable one. Really. Anyway-sorry what were we talking about? Lawsuits, lawyers, jail, oh whatevs!!!
All joking aside, Steyn analyzes Imperial President Barack Obama's latest moves and of course, it's all an utterly depressing scene.
"Last Thursday Obama didn't just proclaim himself king, he proclaimed the
rest of you guys peasants. That's why it was necessary to do it a few
days after the election - just to rub it in."
"I made a point to Hugh Hewitt the other day
that in the end all governing systems in civilized countries depend on
gentlemen honoring the codes and conventions. Obama says screw that -
and, at home and abroad, is governed only by what he can get away with."
"But hey, what's one more US ally to add to the mountain of the disaffected?"
As my people say: Oy to the Vey, but do read the whole thing.
