So these days you murder your child and that’s “choice” - but marinate your cat? Evil doer…

Welcome to America.

Ginger has a bit more discriminating tastes than Sophie and decided she’d pass on the Broccoli. Which was fine with Sophie who proceeded to pilfer Ginger’s piece.

Which in turn prompted Ginger to go find another piece. She sat there and worked on it all the while making funny faces. I could almost see her mind churning… “Sophie likes this then I’m suppose to like this too… but it’s just not all that.. but I’ll going to choke it down before I let that pig bull have it!” while Sophie finished cleaning the tile..

Only after the floor was cleaned did the Missus mention something I’d not considered…. broccoli farts… the girls may spend the rest of the evening outside…

Stark has obviously been caught flat footed to which a politician’s normal reaction seems to be to stick their flat feet straight into their mouths.

Stark’s slip may be of ignorance or more likely Freudian but how much of this do we lay at his or the party’s feet? More likely Stark’s ignorance and Big Government Nanny State views are supported by his constituents… or at least the majority of them that bother to show up at the polls on election day.

So who is really to blame here? As much as we’d like to lambaste Stark and the Party - the problem is us.

Now that the greatest eco disaster of all time is failing to marterialize there is scrambling to explain why. One of the more interesting theories got others roundly lambasted just a couple weeks ago. Essentially oil is a natural substance the leaks out of cracks all over the globe including in the region of the blown well so why is anyone surprised nature has at least part of the solution?

The lesson from past spills is that the lion’s share of the cleanup work is done by nature in the form of oil-eating bacteria and fungi. The microbes break down the hydrocarbons in oil to use as fuel to grow and reproduce. A bit of oil in the water is like a feeding frenzy, causing microbial populations to grow exponentially.

Typically, there are enough microbes in the ocean to consume half of any oil spilled in a month or two, says Howarth. Such microbes have been found in every ocean of the world sampled, from the Arctic to Antarctica. But there are reasons to think that the process may occur more quickly in the Gulf than in other oceans.

Even more telling is when Time mag acknowledges Rush may have been right… What I like in Time’s piece is they seem to be trying to get back to serious journalism. Hopefully its not superficial…

So if, now that the leak is plugged, the environmental issues are quickly righting themselves why is the Administration still trying to keep a moratorium in place at the cost of thousands of workers?

More likely they are simply taking advantage of the opportunity to push their anti-oil, anti-carbon, anti-cheap-energy agendas.

And these were largely articles meant to sweep the whole C02-is-plant-food under the rug by focusing on poison ivy -

a CO2-driven vine also produces more of its rash-causing chemical, urushiol, conclude experiments conducted in a forest at Duke University where scientists increased carbon-dioxide levels to those expected in 2050

And we are the fear mongers??

Anyway, I do have a point, or actually a new website link that is founded on the principle that more CO2 results in a greener earth…

What is also significant here is the 5-4 split - that is 4 judges do not believe the Bill of Rights restrains the states. That is surely something to be concerned about! Especially if President Obama has the opportunity to name another judge to the court where the retiree is one of the 5 that voted correctly.

Not that we needed another reason to make sure President Obama is a one-term engagement - but here it is anyway.

Case in point. I have purchased 8 copies of Adobe Acrobat Standard for my user. But when my desktop tech went to install an unused copy for someone today it wouldn’t activate, said it was already activated. Since the machine it had been activated no longer existed he called Adobe who simply told him that its our fault we didn’t deactivate the copy before reloading the machine, told us they can’t help us and we’d have to buy another copy.

So if you have Acrobat installed on a computer and the drive fails, guess what…

If you need to insert pages or disassemble and reassemble multiple PDF documents Acrobat is still about the only way. But this isn’t 1998 anymore and if you needed to create PDF’s there are alternatives especially for those with only casual needs.

With Adobe having told us to pound sand you can bet I’m going to return the favor.
