Seven Hours
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008That is how long it took me to get home tonight (70 miles). I left the office at 1:30PM and arrived home at 8:30PM having spent almost 3 hours of it sitting on highway. 36 which they had literally shut down. At the end of it all, 1 mile from home, the road was so [...]
Stealing the Vote in Minnesota’s Senate Recount
Monday, December 22nd, 2008As I suspected they’re going to recount until Franken wins at which point he’ll sue to stop the recount. That was my initial thought but I’ve been trying to let the process work. But the insight on how the board is reviewing “voter intent” is clear who the board is leveraging into the winners seat.

Gases are warming US
Sunday, December 21st, 2008I think the gases are warming US are coming from all the global warming zealots. If they think the US’s average temps are up they’re not living here where we’re seeing single digit and sub zero temps over a month earlier than normal.

So I’m pleased with the “bridge loan” approach [...]

Aren’t familiar with the M14 or the DCM programs? Check out the post on Blackfork and the Civilian Marksmanship Program for more info. And sign the [...]

Person of the Year 2008
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Anyone who didn’t know in July who was going to be TIME’s Person of the Year 2008 must have been living under a rock. Big media is piling into a car wreck once expected only of the auto industry and, like the auto industry, are blind to “why don’t people buy our products”. We’ll be [...]
OPEC cuts, Oil Continues Slide
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008OPEC announced a 2.2 million barrels a day cut in production but that didn’t stop the slide as oil fell below $40/bbl for the first time since 2004 when the madness began. Strangely, though, gas locally remains at $1.59 to $1.79 when it was $1.38 last Thursday morning. The quick up-tick was largely due the [...]
