Al Gore Blames Global Warming For Burma Cyclone

You just had to see this one coming. Al "snake oil salesman" Gore never misses a chance to sell his line of bull, never minding that the facts prove him wrong. John Coleman pointed it out in his Open Letter a few days ago. The Goracle and his cult will not miss an opportunity to blame global warming and the rising ocean temperatures for hurricanes and cyclones, or anything else they can come… Continue

Jeremiah Wright is the least of his problems

It's time to back away the Jeremiah Wright kerfluffle. If Lanny Davis and other Clinton surrogates want to play the race game, then so be it. Obama is no racist, nor is he responsible for the inflammatory and seditious statements made by Jeremiah Wright. Earlier today, I saw a video that has been mentioned by several bloggers on the right, which compares certain passages from Obama's book and with selected video clips from several of Wri… Continue

Imagination and inspiration. What's next?

"Tolerance," explained Mrs. Hartsfield, "Means you don't kill someone just because they believe differently than you." She was speaking specifically about the news of the day to her 9th Grade Social Studies class, of which I was but one of thirty youngsters who had the privilege of receiving an excellent public education from an excellent public school teacher. The daily discussions of current events were lively enough to hold at bay the distractions of Spring, which usually seemed to explode a… Continue

Harper wins MS 3rd

BREAKING: Conservative blogging legend Nuke Gingrich officially calls it for Gregg Harper over Charlie Ross in the MS 3rd District. "It was an old-fashioned whoopin'," said Gingrich, relaxing with a Macanudo and a mint juelp, from NG Election Central in southwest Mississippi. "Ross didn't know what hit him. This is a blowout, and I, for one, couldn't be happier for the people of the Third District." Gingrich endorsed Harper over the weekend, and momentum has been moving in Harper's direction e… Continue

Is McCain Trying To Lose?

I'm really trying to like John McCain. I really am. I believe him when he says he has changed his mind on tax cuts. I applaud his position change on amnesty for illegal aliens. I believe him to be a credible candidate on the issue of National Security. I think he will make better judicial appointments than either of the two Democrats. But, this global warming baloney may yet prove to be the deal-breaker for me. McCain has gone public with his mandatory cap and trade program for reducin… Continue

Going fishin'

Gordon James Klingenschmitt, writing at WND, cites his 8 reasons for not voting for John McCain. Gordon is a big fan of Alan Keyes, and plans to write-in Keyes' name on the ballot for President. Frankly, I cannot think of a bigger waste of time than a write in vote, but it's Gordon's vote, and if he wants to waste it, that's his business. So be it. I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to fully support McCain w… Continue

Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics

What if they let some experts give their opinion and it was then accepted as fact? It happens all the time, but this was very close to lying, if not the real deal. Some bitter retirees gave their opinion just to bash President Bush again. Colin Powell, Barry McCaffery and Bob Scales all put their mouth in gear without their brain engaged.

Army Maj. Gen. Bob Scales, the former head of the Army War College, agreed. He wrote in an editorial in the Washington Times on March…

Web 3.0 is closer than you think

After Google, what's next? Writing at Times (UK), Jonathan Richards talks to the "real" inventor of the world wide web (sorry Goracle), Tim Berners-Lee, and speculates on the future of the internet. A fascinating article indeed. Here is an excerpt:

The semantic web is the term used by the computer and internet industry to describe the next phase of the web's development, and essentially involves building web-based connectivity into any piece of data — not just a web page — so that it…

Over the past few weeks, I've offered up several short blurbs about the unraveling of the financial markets. To my surprise, it is a subject which continues to get only cursory media attention. Were it not for the coverage in the foreign press, a person might be persuaded that all is well, that this is just a temporary slowdown which will be over and forgotten soon enough.

Remodeled Grocery Store Blues

After squishing through the mud and standing water to feed the livestock, it was finally time to feed me and the SwampMan and way, way past time to go to the grocery store. I was soaking wet with hay stuck all over my jacket, hair dripping under the feed store cap, and boots with that eau de barnyard aroma.

"I don't WANT to Get Married!"

Jacob told his mommy he wanted to talk to MeeMaw. “MeeMaw’s not home”, she told him. He wanted to know where his MeeMaw was. (MeeMaws are not supposed to leave the house to do mundane things like go to work with the only exception being when they are on the way to pick up grandchildren or buy presents. Everybody knows that.) “MeeMaw is out buying a present!” mommy told him. “A present? Why MeeMaw buying a present?” asked Jake.

Utah Home Search Planned in Ricin Case

LAS VEGAS — A motel patron hospitalized after the potent poison ricin was mysteriously found in his room “barely got by in life,” according to a woman who knew him when he lived at a Utah home that agents hoped to search Saturday.

Nicaragua's Ortega Whines About FARC Commander Killing

MANAGUA, March 2 (Reuters) - Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega condemned Colombia's killing of a top rebel commander and said it could hurt the chances of a peace accord. Ortega, a former Marxist revolutionary and U.S. Cold War foe who was voted back to power in late 2006, called on Colombian President Alvaro Uribe to seek a peace process with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. Colombia's military said on Saturday its troops had killed Raul Reyes, one of seven members of the… Continue

Capt. Joseph Lombardo said at a press conference late Friday that the book was tabbed at a spot with information about ricin. Lombardo did not give more information about the book or…

House Approves New Taxes on "Big Oil", aka another way to pick your pocket.

WASHINGTON -- The House approved $18 billion in new taxes on the largest oil companies Wednesday as Democrats cited record oil prices and rising gasoline costs in a time of economic troubles. The money collected over 10 years would provide tax breaks for wind, solar and other alternative energy sources and for energy conservation. The legislation, approved 236-182, would cost the five largest oil companies an average of $1.8 billion a year over that period, according an analysis by the House Wa… Continue

Measles, once a common childhood disease in the United States, can result in severe complications, including encephalitis, pneumonia, and death.

However, measles continues to occur in other regions of the world, including Europe (1). In January 2008, measles was identified in an unvaccinated boy from San Diego, California, who h… Continue

New Study Raises Major Question on Biofuels

The first-of-its-kind study will be published in Science later this month and was posted online today.
