Saving The World With Caviar And Lobster Tails
February 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment
It’s always a fun exercise to consider how much waste is produced by a cruise ship.
Equally fun would be calculating the volume of wine, caviar, tenderloin, and lobster tail consumed at the upcoming jet set gathering of UN climate bureaucrats.

(VIDEO) They Are Popping The Corks At The DNC! The Economy Is Growing!!
February 19, 2010 | 2 Comments
Hooray everyone! The Economy is growing!!
The video below was recently released by the Democrat Party, and it touts the Obama-Democrat “recovery” now under way.
Oddly, despite the numerous government CRA/Fannie/Freddie/Sally Mae/HUD scandals, and despite the fact that Democrats have controlled Congress since 2006, it blames ALL of America’s economic problems on reckless bankers, and Bush/Republicans.
Coincidentally, despite the fact that the Democrat controlled government just raised the debt ceiling so they could borrow more money against future generations in order to fund today’s entitlement/pubic sector payroll, the video assigns Democrats with ALL the credit for what they are calling a “recovery.”
The US Government is borrowing TRILLIONS of dollars from foreign countries in order to swell the government sponsored payroll, thereby making it appear on paper as thought there is a “recovery” underway, and the Democrats are crowing as though they have achieved something meaningful?
Don’t get us wrong. We would love to be able to live in the progressive utopia of Obamaland, and bask in the glory of the American economic recovery, if only it could be. We would all stand to gain from an economic recovery. But as fiscal conservatives have been pointing out for years and years and years now, the tab for this monstrosity of a government will come due, and when it does, it will leave us all in ruin.
Worse still, the government is apparently intent on taking ZERO responsibility for their role in our disastrous predicament (as evidenced in the video above). While that is the case, there is no hope of the system being reformed based on anything resembling reality and/or honesty.
No honest reform = No honest recovery.
But hey, as long as the Progressive DNC is happy, why shouldn’t everyone else be?
*As a preemptive comment to the Media Matters for ( a Socialist) America crowd in the audience, who childishly parrot their ironic talking point, “Where were you when Bush was spending us into massive deficits?” we can only suggest that you assume you are addressing people who hate our nation’s shameful debt in a truly non-partisan way. It matters not what labels are worn by the elected officials who have done this to our treasury.
Further, when Progressives say, “Where were you when Bush was spending us into massive debt?” they are not arguing against racking up massive deficits on top of massive deficits. They are defending the practice while unwittingly refuting their own “change” marketing point. This hardly seems like a strategy befitting intelligent people.

Ironic Tragedy: 3 Tesla Execs Dead In Plane Crash
February 17, 2010 | 1 Comment
Tesla, the electric car company, lost 3 executives in a tragic plane crash. Our condolences to the loved ones of deceased. It is with great delicateness that we point out one irony of this story.
The crash has caused a power outage in the Palo Alto after the plane hit transmission wires.
Tesla hasn’t been getting a lot of good press lately when it comes to their executives and private aircraft.

CNN Goes To Bat For John McCain, Labels Opponent A Birther
February 17, 2010 | 10 Comments
With no regard for, or opinion of J. D. Hayworth, who we know nothing about, it is beyond fascinating to watch CNN go to bat for his political opponent, John McCain.
Two problems for Mr. Hayworth in this interview: 1) Publicizing his friendly relationship with Harry Reid is only a negative. 2) Even the appearance of trafficking with “Birthers” can be damaging.
Thankfully, Hayworth thoroughly refutes the birther premise 7:00 minutes into the interview.
There are plenty of reasons to reject President Obama and his Progressive movement. The Birther premise is the weakest of them all.
Why? Because of a little something called evidence. For the birther premise to be correct, the Secretary of State’s office of Hawaii would have to be in on perpetrating an unprecedented act of treason, a charge so serious it should not be made or implied without any evidence. Anyone have any evidence that the State of Hawaii is committing this treason act against our constitution?
Sadly, the President exposes his cynical politics-as-usual M.O. by not ordering the full release of the documents people are concerned about. Our guess is team Obama loves what it does to the opposition. That’s the cynicism part. More harmful than that is the way it betrays his marketing of himself as an open transparency advocate. How can he be trusted to deliver transparency in government when he withholds transparency of his personal life for cynical political sport?

Illinois Democrat’s Alleged Prostitute-Girlfriend Arrested AFTER Engaging In Sexual Act With Cop?
February 17, 2010 | 2 Comments
Never mind that this story is about the scandal-plagued Illinois Democrat nominee for Lt. Governor and his alleged prostitute girlfriend. Illinois Democrats nominating a man accused of holding a knife to a prostitute’s throat is not exactly news.
What stands out in this article about the Democrat’s alleged prostitute/girlfriend, is that she was reportedly arrested AFTER performing a sex act on an undercover cop.
Eneman herself was arrested for prostitution at the Eden Spa in April 2005 for performing a sex act on an undercover police officer in exchange for $150. The police report quoted her telling the officer at the end of their session that prostitution was common there.
Details from the police report of Eneman’s arrest in Glenview say the undercover police officer entered Eden Spa and asked for a “session with Mandi.” He and Amanda went into a private room. He paid her for the time, and she asked if he wanted an “exotic massage.” He said yes, and she performed a sex act, according to the police report.
Umm….if that’s true, shouldn’t the cop be arrested? This must be an error in the article.
Below is the mug shot of the Democrat’s alleged prostitute/girlfriend.
For the record, we don’t care if Democrat Scott Lee Cohen was seeing a pro. We don’t care if anyone sees a pro. The position of this blog, consistent with our ethos of keeping the government out of our formally personal, formally private lives, is if a man or woman wants to lease their private parts to a willing renter, that is between them and has nothing to do with the administration of government.
Yes, engaging in acts of prostitution is unsanitary and risky behavior, but so are a whole host of behaviors so-called “free” adults choose to engage in every day. If no money changed hands, this woman could feel free to “massage” as many people as she might choose, all day and all night long. Why is the exchange of money grounds for revoking that freedom?
Last thought on this, if the government exited the business of managing people’s sex lives, there would be no ambiguity as to the behavior choices of those now hiding behind their “massages.” That might come in handy the next time Democrats are choosing their nominee. At it stands right now, the industry is driven underground, and under a cloak of secrecy.

Missile Command 2010

Gizmodo has video of a recent test of an airborne laser destroying a ballistic missile.
This is nothing new, and not terribly impressive. Below is video of a similar technique deployed in the 1980’s.
