Van Morrison Asks YouTube to Remove 'Two Below Honey' Satire | NewsBusters.org

On Wednesday, NewsBusters premiered a new video from our friends at Minnesotans for Global Warming called "Two Below Honey."

Those that watched it saw and heard a clever global warming parody sung to Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey."

The video has now been removed by YouTube...

Why is the EU finding fossil-fueled space tourism for the very rich?

Move over, Sir Richard Branson. Someone else wants to play in your space sandbox. Thanks to a not-exactly-generous US$9.68 million injection from the EU, a new program is poised to offer competition to existing space-tourism services offered by Virgin Galactic, Xcor Aerospace, and Blue Origin. The funding will go toward the design, development and experimental validation of hybrid propulsion engines for the Future High-Altitude High-Speed Transport (FAST) 20XX program, which includes two separate "vomit comet" concepts. The first launch is scheduled within a decade.

Vomit comet #1 is projected for service in 2015 and will give astronaut wannabes a similar ride to Virgin’s SpaceShipTwo suborbital journey. That bird will piggyback on a specially designed jet carrier aircraft to 50,000 ft., detach, blast off at three times the speed of sound, let you experience a few minutes of weightlessness, then land you safely back home where a really, really, really big credit card bill will be waiting.

Meanwhile, because of a scam, the little people are supposed to freeze in their own homes, drink only tap water, use only crappy light bulbs, and avoid vacations, cold beer, ham sandwiches, etc etc?
