McCain 2008!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I don’t tend to wear T-shirts with a message, and especially no political messages but I think I found one that I might wear, McCain 2008!.

Camping out for chance to buy a home?

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I guess some people haven’t gotten the word about the housing bubble burst yet? At the same time I hear people complaining about food and fuel costs but noted over the weekend that the local steak houses aren’t hurting for business.

Polar Bears

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

The newest critter to be listed as “threatened” is the Polar Bear and a lot of people see through the BS that got the bear listed as such yesterday. Over the past 50 years the polar bear population has increased 5 fold. And that disappearing polar bear habitat? Nope, the ice flows have increased 60% [...]

If you still believe the anti-oil hubbub is about anything other than power then don’t miss the missing big story that no one is covering. The Bio-fuel scientists are right now trying to make bacteria more efficient in making ethanol and that has been covered on the regular evening news programs at length. But make [...]

National Mosaic Enhanced Radar

Every now and then it really helps to get the big picture.

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008
