Eating flies

“Flies that get stuck on the paper pass over a blade on one of the rollers that scrapes them off and into a microbial fuel cell.” Machines eating organic material.  Somehow this seems even worse than the alternative… saw it at Cosmic Log (MSNBC)

The Obama Doctrine

Okay, the title is misleading.  There is no “Obama Doctrine”, unless you count “make it up as you go along” as doctrine. But if there were a doctrine, it would read something like this: “Everything Bush did was bad, so it’s my job to make it worse!” Deep, huh?  

“Obama is awesome!”

I think the female in this clip is related to Chris Matthews.  I can almost _see_ her leg tingling! Saw it on Power Line.

Obama Channels Bush

When I heard the President threatening to shoot down Libya’s air force (now that said air force has used up all its ammo blasting the “rebels”), I thought he sounded a lot like he was reading G.W. Bush’s speech announcing the decision to go back into Iraq.  Seems I wasn’t the only one to make [...]

A thought on cults

A show on NatGeo TV about cults caught my attention today. I find it somewhat amazing, but mostly disgusting that some people are so willing to give up their minds, their will, and their lives to follow a charismatic* asshole with a messiah complex.  It’s even more unbelievable in this modern day of free flowing [...]

Sarkozy on multiculturalism

This is a great quote.  Why can’t we find U.S. Politicians who will speak so clearly about the problems of mass, uncontrolled immigration? “We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him,” Sarkozy said in the TFI [...]

Thank you, Angelina

Just watched “Salt”, starring Angelina Jolie, and the first thing that comes to mind is the title of this post.  Thank you, Angelina. I say thank you, because I was just treated to a good old fashioned, “America Wins” movie.  I don’t want to ruin the plot, so I won’t go into detail, but it’s [...]

Setting the tone

Talk show hosts have nothing in the influence game when compared to the radical left. Since literally moments after the shooting in Tucson last week, the leftists have been screaming against all logic that the senseless violence committed by Jared Loughner was caused by angry political rhetoric.  Of course, it wasn’t, but that hasn’t stopped [...]

Tragedy in Arizona

This is what they were talking about when they coined the term ‘man-caused-disaster.’  It wasn’t an act of war.  It wasn’t the result of political extremism.  It wasn’t a racist reaction to the country’s first (half) black President.  It wasn’t a statement on illegal immigration nor Arizona’s efforts to combat same. It was one asshole [...]

Congratulations, Speaker Boehner

I didn’t get to watch it live, thankfully Jimmy was there with the commentary!

Well, my cats chase geckos

Freedom of Movement

Some years ago, the point was made that freedom of movement was an essential component of American freedom.  I wish I could relate the source of my enlightenment on that point, but it escapes me at the moment.  I’ve always remembered it on some level, because it is so obviously true on so basic a [...]

Halfway there

I guess turnout was indeed greater than expected… my damned poll site ran out of stickers before I got there. Oh well, this one will do. Halfway to 2012.  Thankfully, today’s results should stem the tide until we can correct the mistake of 2008.  Now we just have to keep our collective foot on the [...]

Advanced Pumpkin Carving Technique

I had no idea cats loved pumpkins so much.
