Romney, Bain, Global Warming -- What Do They Have In Common? Inconvenient Truths (And The Stories Will Annoy The Mainstream Media)

In fact, the mainstream media is not even mentioning them. One finds these stories buried in the blogs written by some folks not meeting the Senate definition of "journalists."

The Daily Caller is posting:
“The very wealthiest Americans earned more than 19 percent of the country’s household income last year — their biggest share since 1928, the year before the stock market crash,” the Associated Press reports. ”The top 10 percent captured a record 48.2 percent of total earnings last year … [and] in 2012, the incomes of the top 1 percent rose nearly 20 percent compared with a 1 percent increase for the remaining 99 percent.”
To keep the success rolling, the administration taps a former Romney/Bain exec to be the President O'Bama's new top economic deputy:
President Barack Obama’s new top economic deputy is a former management consultant who worked for Gov. Mitt Romney’s Bain & Company investment firm.
The appointment of Jeff Zients as head of the National Economic Council is likely to annoy some union officials and some liberal groups who are focused on declining working-class wages and growing poverty, and it clashes with the populist anti-business invective used by Obama and his aides on the 2012 campaign trail to paint Romney as uncaring.
"Likely to annoy some .... "

Wow, that's an understatement.

By the way, speaking of annoying some folks, what is IceAgeNow talking about these days? From yesterday:
No doubt about it. The Earth’s climate is cooling!
One of the most prescient indicators clearly shows it, namely the Danish Meteorological Institute’s daily mean temperatures for the Arctic area north of the 80th northern parallel. They have been measured for over 50 years which shows a long-term average of 90 days with the air temperature above freezing.

The year 2013 has seen a dramatic departure from that routine. In 2013, the summer (above freezing temperatures) lasted for only 45 days, one half of the average number of days. Not only did the frost-free days start much later than on average this year, they also ended much earlier, see the figure below. In fact, the frost-free period seen this year was significantly shorter than in other year since 1958, when the recordings began.
