Three fast and fun “global warming” articles in one day is just too great for me to pass up especially when all three give at least some nod to the missing “consensus” we’ve all been hearing so much about.
First is about Reid Bryson, known as the father of scientific climatology who considers global warming […]

It is no surprise to me to read that Workers Rarely Jump Ship Over Pay Alone. Eighty-eight percent left their last employer for reasons other than pay. That is a huge number and completely unsurprising.

“The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.”
John Jay
Ed Note: I love these quotes that easily show the United […]

I’ve known for some time the Shadow’s tires are ready to be replaced. As I my original plan was to replace the Shadow in September I had to ponder what to do. Three-hundred and seventy five dollar ($375) tires for 2 months seems a less than desirable use of my mone. […]

Check out Leo’s Icon Archive claiming 12,500+ free icons, buddy icons, xp icons, vista icons, desktop icons, aim icons. It looks to be an impressive collection. Normally when I need an icon set for an application I start in /usr/share/icons but sometimes that perfect icon isn’t there and Leo’s is my next stop.

One of our favorite motorcycle trips is out through the Shades and Turkey Run and specifically state roads 47, 234 and 236. From twisties to sweeping curves and beautiful scenery its an all around worthwhile area to spend some time in the saddle. I’ve often thought about writing up some of these trips and […]

What is it about Pierre Cardin that they can’t get shirt sizes right? Is it their Korean manufacturer or are they intentionally undersized? Anyway, I have several Hawaiin and print shirts I wear, often loose, when out casually in public and every time one doesn’t fit right or badly profiles my .45 it’s a Pierre […]

“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
Samuel Adams

How much worse must this guy’s depression be when even the gunshop staffers he hoped would shoot him won’t even take him seriously. Kudos to the shop employees for their astuteness in handling this situation.

A 39 year old homosexual dressed as a woman (”transexual”) seduces a teenage boy who procedes to thrash said homosexual and who’s on trial? The teenager because it was a hate-crime to despense justice on a maurading fraud seducing teenagers.

Kalifornia municipality in an unsurprisingly typical Nanny State move bans home fireworks displays because it’s costing the police and fire deparments too much money.
This country was founded on blowing stuff up, and 231 years later it continues to be the thing that we do best. And yet in the past few decades, almost every […]

Some may think its ghoulish for companies to take out such policies, hence the lawsuit. But it is a common practice especially in large companies to put life insurance on key personel to help replace what they may deem a vital position. Even in less vital positions, finding and training an employee costs money. […]

I find it most amusing that Napali religion is so “rock solid” that they can revoke the godhood of a “living goddess” because she dared do something without asking the “subjects”… Sort of turns the whole relationship on it’s head doesn’t it? Darned those fickle feudal subjects anyway…

There are several things that bother me about the story of the Subway customer who gunned down 2 robbers Florida and none of them surround this gentleman’s use of force but the friends and parents of the robbers. I can understand their grief as I’m sure most people can and things are said […]

I’ve read some asinine statements from the environmental wackos over the years but this has to be the worst thus far. That human greed uses most solar energy. I think they could have made their point by completely leaving out the solar thing and focusing on the percentage of land used to grow crops rather […]

It seems the movement that squashes truth in deference to feelings is alive and well in Japan. Of course the same debate has raged on and off in the United States, whether the use of nukes was justified. While most Americans, given the facts, will tend to believe it was justified and necessary it is […]

Two interesting articles about Michael Glatze; How a ‘gay rights’ leader became straight.
