The US media has been circumspect concerning the events in Honduras this past week. Here we have a democratically elected leader who overstepped his constitutional bounds and was slapped down by the Honduran Supreme Court. Naturally the Dictators Club (United Nations) has also decried the ousting of Zelaya irregardless that it was lawfully done. […]

George Carlin is, well… George Carlin so if you’ve sensitive ears don’t press play.

He has to a large degree come to the right conclusion although much of his perspective is based on evolution-as-fact. But that makes this segment even more striking, that someone as rabidly liberal as Carlin, who’s belief in evolution is very obviously […]

Yup, Barney is at it again…. we will learn nothing from this because it would put too many liberals and moderates out of work, irregardless of party.

The power to tax is the power to destroy jobs. But oh, it’s “for the children”

Isn’t it interesting how American education resembles the American auto industry due to union contracts 700 NYC teachers paid to do nothing that cannot be allowed back into the classroom for various reasons. It is bad enough watching the auto industry crumble under the weight of the unions but to watch the public employees […]

Anyone who has ever doubted that statement need only look at the draconian lunacy of Home Owners Associations.
And people wonder why I prefer a shack in the sticks.

How many times have you found yourself telling someone “Google is your friend” when they ask you a question? I know I must say that to people on a daily basis. And it’s not necessarily that these people aren’t smart, just not tech - non techie people are not as likely to use Google to […]

I could care less about Coke Zero but have to point out the evolving Zimbabwe of South America….

Check out the Political Math blog….

I bet the Canadians are wondering what Global Warming? I’m wondering the same as I look at the well below average temps now and this time last year - and that this is the 2nd June in a row where 5 days of 7 call for rain. Last year it was July before we […]

… no analog television signal as of this Friday.. and unless they boost the digital signal power there is going to be hell to pay for those refusing to PAY for broadcast television. At 40 miles out to say digital is “spotty” would be an understatement. And unlike “snowy” weak analog signals digitals “static” […]

The Democrats killed their own D.C. House Voting Rights Bill due to an amendment that would effectively return DC’s 2nd Amendment rights. Choice quote….
“We will never give up on equal rights for our residents,” she said, insisting that pro-gun Democrats could have opposed the amendment without sustaining political damage
So… she wants “equal rights for our […]

A 72-year-old woman was tased by an officer. Not agreeing with the woman’s actions toward the officer but clearly the officer was intimidated by this 4′ 11″ woman which only justified her contempt for him as a representative of “the law”. So now what did this officer gung-ho to write a speeding ticket accomplish but […]

Sigma Cycle in Brownsburg, Indiana is having an open house on Saturday June 27,2009 to christen at their new location (in the same complex). When possible, support your local shop.

The disappearance of Flight 447 reminds us of TWA Flight 800 Case the public explanation of which never resembled eyewitnesses. The first attempt on the towers and TWA 800 are among the many incidents illustrating the long run up, under Bill Clinton’s watch, to the September 11th attacks…

Scientists at the University of Rochester have found a way to make Regular Light Bulbs Super-Efficient. If this technology can be moved into production scale, the increased efficiency plus the toxicity of CFL’s maybe America really will become Pro Choice - for lightbulbs…

I’m not exactly the Rap type, but check this from the The Young Cons…

…Jesus, Ronald Reagan plus Atlas Shrugged

Could this be France’s TWA Flight 800? If this were an act of Islamic terrorism (is there any other kind?) the powers that be will do their best to keep it quiet. The next 24-48 hours will be telling….

There is so much to comment on in the Business Week article The Great Ethanol Scam. But all I can say is it’s about freaking time!
Now while lauding recongnition of the ethanol scam I find Butanol rather interesting and wonder why we’ve heard so little about it? But, I’m leary of any “biomass” alcohol […]

Since the experts can’t figure out the “winged cat” I would question that they’re experts… I have a self-adopted (meaning we weren’t given a vote) feral who looks exactly like the pictures including the wings. On ours those wings are the matted hair being shed and pop up like that until they finally fall off. […]

The guys at Hackleman got the trunk repainted and I was able to pick it up this morning. The up side is those pock marks are going to be much less likely to show up after sitting in the sun now that the glass has more or less gassed. Fingers crossed anyway.

They even […]

An amendment was attached to the recently passed credit card bill which makes all park service land uniformly follow state laws with regard to carrying a firearm. This is something several rights groups have been working on for years as the National Park Service had differing rules for their various controlled properties making it tricky […]

Looks like a new cycle shop in Brownsburg… look forward to checking them out…

So I dropped off the tour pak a week ago Monday, that’s 11 days. As of an hour ago they’d finished stripping it down again and were starting to re-paint it. Seems when they baked it it bubbled badly. He said it was air in the gel coat and I’ve also read the wrong […]

On the brink of President Obama socializing our health care industry the Canadians remind us why its a bad idea… Dying at home improves hospital efficiency
