60-Second Science Blog Directory: Scientific American Blog

60-Second Science Blog Directory: Scientific American Blog: "At least some members of the Obama Administration plan to call for an end to fossil fuel subsidies as part of next week's G20 economic leaders summit, citing positive impacts ranging from improved energy security to combating climate change. But how much does the U.S. government pay? Well, according to a new analysis from the Environmental Law Institute released today, roughly $72 billion between 2002 and 2008.

More than $54 billion of that was in the form of 23 different tax credits for oil, coal and natural gas producers, including those overseas, most of which are permanent provisions of the U.S. Tax Code. Just $18.3 billion was grants and other direct cash for research and development and other pursuits, such as the Strategic Petroleum Reserve."

Liberal Rapture

Liberal Rapture
The persistence of the illusion that economists know anything is astonishing. Tuesday Mr. Bernanke, who apparently couldn't be bothered to warn anyone of the coming collapse last fall, said the economic recession is over.

Phew! That wasn't so bad. Bailout the banks by forcing a nation into decades of debt, print piles of cash and BANG! It's over! Whoo hoo!

Here's the dirty little secret Bernanke and his crew avoid: When they say the recession is over - they mean it's over FOR THEM.

Liberal Rapture

Liberal Rapture: "The use of the word 'racist' has been so warped and abused since BHO came on the scene that soon it will be synonymous with being called:

*a patriot,
*a person of integrity
*a courageous American
*a person willing to speak truth to power,
*a person who refuses to be controlled and talked down to.


So go ahead - call me racist."

CHARMING, JUST CHARMING: Doctors Vs Guns

CHARMING, JUST CHARMING: Doctors Vs Guns

Doctors Vs Guns

Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is around 700,000..
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.1%.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.

Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) Accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.00188%.
Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember,
'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT:
NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,
BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!


*** Out of concern for the public at large,
I withheld the statistics on lawyers
for fear the shock would cause people to panic
and seek medical attention!
