Banning Dihydrogen Monoxide

Posted on December 15, 2010 | Comments Off on Banning Dihydrogen Monoxide

Give the Green Weenies a highfalutin’ name for something, tell them it’s just awful for the climate and for children and other living things, and they’ll vote to ban it. Thus for dihydrogen monoxide. The No. 1 greenhouse gas. Also known as water vapor.

“”I love the symbolism of two Democratic presidents––not one, but two––endorsing Bush tax cuts, saying, ‘We need them crucially to help the economy’.”

Via Instapundit.

Tax cuts won’t be enough, however, to push unemployment down again— not with all the uncertainty of pending environmental, health care and other new Democrat-inspired federal regulations that hit business.  Executives will still wait and see before they start investing and hiring again.

Return of the D.C. sniper?

Posted on December 12, 2010 | Comments Off on Return of the D.C. sniper?

Seems military recruitment and other buildings, such as the Pentagon, are taking rounds from a mysterious, apparently amateur, shooter whose ballistics match. In five incidents since Oct. 17,  s/he fortunately hasn’t hit anyone.

Snowing

Posted on December 11, 2010 | Comments Off on Snowing

No, it’s not snowing at the rancho. Just on my Civil War blogs Knoxville1863 and the 13thMississippi Infantry Regiment because the plug-in involved has no effect (without significant nanotech) on the actual weather (duh) and can’t be used here because I’m not using Version 3.0 or higher.

Or, so I thought. Seems I have misspoke.  Heh, I did it. Altho it’s hard to see on this white background. Happy snowfall, whenever it does appear. The kind you just watch, though it does accumulate at the bottom of the page if you don’t scroll up. At least you don’t have to shovel it.

Rise of the Imperial City

Posted on December 10, 2010 | Comments Off on Rise of the Imperial City

Where? Washington, D.C., the capital of the Nanny State. Where else?

“Even as most of the country remains mired in serious housing recession, the capital has bounced back smartly . . . . The rise has been so dramatic that for the first time in five years, the average asking rent in D.C. is higher than in New York City….”

Read it and weep, taxpayer.

The terrorist Assange

Posted on December 7, 2010 | Comments Off on The terrorist Assange

The pale blond anarchist doesn’t care who gets hurt in his private war:

“Mr. Assange doesn’t mail bombs, but his actions have life-threatening consequences. Consider the case of a 75-year-old dentist in Los Angeles, Hossein Vahedi. According to one of the confidential cables released by WikiLeaks, Dr. Vahedi, a U.S. citizen, returned to Iran in 2008 to visit his parents’ graves. Authorities confiscated his passport because his sons worked as concert promoters for Persian pop singers in the U.S. who had criticized the theocracy….”

Ah, but in the anarchist’s world, some “crockery” inevitably must be broken.
