Moreover, he admits that the only reason he supported them was to pander to farmers in Tennessee and Iowa when he was running for President.  One now wonders how much of his other ‘green-ness’ was additional pandering to get the hippy/green/ecology vote? Continue reading

This is a good clip with the original score.  I just wish youtube had the scene from Boston Common.  Clancy Brown was definitely at his over-the-top best in this movie. Continue reading

Ireland’s economy has gone down the tubes and they have requested bailouts.  Instead of the approximately 1% of Bono’s charity proceeds going to supposed third world countries (instead of into the pockets of the charity’s employees), he should change gears and take care of his homeland.  If he doesn’t, he’s the ultimate hypocrite.

Apparently an Al-Qaeda affiliated magazine is touting the ‘Death by a Thousand Cuts’ to the West.  By doing small-scale terror attacks, like the Underpants Bomber or the printer cartridge bombs, they force reactionary governments to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on screening, equipment, etc. plus the cost of lost revenue from travelers not traveling. … Continue reading

We are doing an experiment in our household–can we live without all of those channels??  What happened is our service started crapping out on us and the provider (and I use that term loosely) was going to charge a MINIMUM of $15.00 to come out and look at it.  Himself and I talked about it,… Continue reading

Over at Coordinated Illumination, there is a video of the New Jersey legislature performing legislative theater–begging the federal government to call off their dogs at the TSA.  Since at this point the use of the TSA is optional (per the original federal legislation), why don’t the States start passing some laws requiring airports within their… Continue reading

I’d heard something about this yesterday and Himself and I had discussed parts of it, but Nikki over at Liberty Zone has such a way with the snark that you should read her whole blogpost here.  It seems that the former head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff,  has a consulting group (it’s how bureaucrats reap… Continue reading

I’ve had a slough of google hits for people searching for Katie Couric and her unwashed comments.  Stands out on my sitemeter since I’m just a baby-blogger anyway.  Very odd.  Maybe her employer is actually looking to see what we great unwashed actually think about the elitist bint. Continue reading

Himself has been rocking the TSA roundups with these links here (via Walls of the City), here, here.  It’s amazing how, with a leader (or leaders) people are coming out of the woodwork to protest, to complain, to draw a line that says that in this, the government has gone too far.   ETA: You should… Continue reading

We happened to have the news on when Obama announced that he’d ‘almost reached an agreement with the South Koreans’ on a proposition that would create 70,000 jobs.  Right then I knew he’d blown it.  You don’t announce ANYTHING until it’s a done deal and you’ve got the signed paper in your hand. Considering that… Continue reading
