Apple Quits Chamber Of Commerce Over Phony Climate Change
Apple made a big show of quitting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today, because the business group refuses to drink the Kool-Aid and embrace Al Gore’s junk science.
Apple Inc on Monday became the latest company to quit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because the technology company disagrees with the business group’s climate change policy.
"We would prefer that the chamber take a more progressive stance on this critical issue and play a constructive role in addressing the climate crisis," Catherine Novelli, a vice president of government affairs at Apple, wrote in a letter dated Monday to the business group.
Novelli wrote that Apple resigned its membership in the business group "effective immediately."
Last month three big power utilities, Exelon Corp, PG&E Corp and PNM Resources Inc, said they were leaving the chamber over the group’s stance on climate.
Everyone knows the Apple folks are a bunch of tree-hugging libs — so this is no great shock. What I find amusing and even a little disturbing are the power utilities who left The Chamber.
How bizarre is it that power companies are embracing an ideology that seeks to shut them down? I can’t believe they could really buy into the climate change BS. I suspect this is about politics. They figure if they pretend to tow the line maybe Obama won’t regulate them out of business. Sadly, they’re mistaken. The environmental whack jobs are running wild right now and they’ll destroy our country if given the chance.
Global warming is phony and the science behind it is phony. The environmental extremist movement has nothing to do with the environment, and everything to do with redistribution of wealth and “social justice”.
The earth is actually cooling right now — not warming.
That said, I plan to embrace the green movement by saving some, and not buying any Apple products.
Sarah Palin Delivers Speech In Hong Kong
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin delivered a much anticipated speech to the world’s top investors at a conference in Hong Kong. She discussed a wide range of issues including the U.S. budget deficit, health care, foreign policy, The Federal Reserve, trade policy, and China.
Media wasn’t allowed at the event, but no doubt someone has a video of the speech. I’ll post it when I find it.

Great interview with 50. He’s a marketing genius. As a social media consultant I often look at what 50 is doing in terms of social media and adopt some of the same strategies for my clients.

Sarah Palin To Speak At CLSA Forum In Hong Kong
From the AP:
Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September.
The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday.
Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.
Good for her. It’s about time the financial big wigs of the world got a refresher course in free market economics.
57% Tax Rate Looms For NY’s Top Earners
The health insurance bill proposed by House Democrats this week includes a hefty new tax on the “rich.” The problem for NY’s “rich” is that they already pay an obscene amount of taxes.
If the health care bill becomes law, NYC residents making $1 million or more per year will see a tax rate of 57%. That of course would be devastating to small business owners who’re already burdened by egregious taxes in NY.
Here in Texas, a $1 million dollars a year is a nice living. You can have a mansion, a couple of cars, and a boat with some doe left over. In NYC, a million bucks a year will keep you in the game, but not much else. Giving 57% of it away to the government is simply not sustainable.
Why would any business stay in New York when they have to fork over more than half their earnings to an out-of-control government? In short, they wouldn’t.

Almost Half Of French Approve Of Kidnapping Bosses To Get More Benefits
This sounds like a joke, but it’s not. A new tactic by unions has emerged in France, Britain, and throughout Europe called “bossnapping.”
Laid off workers literally kidnap their boss and hold him hostage until they get the compensation packages they want.
This is what happens when you build an entitlement society like the one Obama is trying to create right here in America.
Even more troubling about this so-called “bossnapping” is that nearly 50% of the French actually support it.

GM Preparing Bankruptcy Plans
According to Bloomberg, GM is speeding up plans for bankruptcy even as the board prepares another restructuring plan for Obama. GM is going to end up going into bankruptcy, because they still have the albatross around their neck called the UAW. The union has destroyed the American car industry and no amount of “restructuring” by the Obama administration is going to cure that.
The fastest way for the American auto industry to become profitable and competitive again is to get the hell away from unions. That’s never going to happen especially under this administration, therefore the auto companies are destined for bankruptcy.

Madoff Guilty Plea Expected
The Feds have reached a deal with Bernie Madoff which requires him to admit to his role in the biggest financial fraud in American history. His phony investment firm may have stolen as much as $50 billion dollars from investors over the years.
The plea deal does not include any agreement on the amount of prison time Madoff could receive or any promises not to prosecute other Madoff family members. Investigators believe Madoff’s sons were aware of the scam and active participants in it.
Three different investors have committed suicide since it was revealed that Bernie Madoff’s entire business was a fraud. Director Steven Spielberg reportedly lost millions to Madoff and actor Kevin Bacon lost his life savings to the con man.
Personally, I can’t wait to see this scumbag rotting away in the clink for the rest of his miserable life. You have to be one sick bastard to knowingly scam your own friends out of their life savings.
I truly believe that if this country was really about justice, Madoff would be tried, convicted, and then taken behind the courthouse and shot.
