climate change 3D map
Google Earth climate change 3D map unveiled
OK .. so why do we not have a full blown program to develop nuclear energy power plants so we can support electric cars and such? Because THAT is not where the money is for the investors in solar panels, corn ethanol and windmills - and who provide massive political support to the Party of Gore. It is about political power - NOT about saving "the earth".

F22 Raptor Demo Flight
F22 Demo Flight
The government cut funding for further production of this plane. Amazing technology but already the upcoming X-35 far outdoes this amazing machine and the choice was to move on forward regardless of potential for x-USA arms markets. Not sure if the government was shortsighted on this - or not. The roll of the fighter aircraft in future wars is somewhat foggy too. A consideral number of these were built but with no continuing program there is also question about future support for the existing craft.

IF BUSH DID THIS?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

OBAMA? GM and Chrysler? .. ABSOLUTE and total CORRUPTION ... using every political power in a huge payback play using taxpayers for the funding.

Spanish & Solar: A Model to Follow or a Cautionary Tale?
An artificially developed demand and a false economy of green will undermine proper green development and future technology development. The Gore religion is designed to milk these hyper government induced investments and leave the public thread-bare. There should be caution lights EVERYWHERE.

This man sees through it. Sadly - the propaganda has siezed the imagination of nearly everyone under age 40 who have been immersed in "Green" "Earth Day" dogma without any real ecological understanding ... for DECADES.

newspaper bailout bill
Obama open to newspaper bailout bill
If newspapers - a dying technology, are saved by their political allies - they will lose more readership and trust in a week than they lost in the last ten years ... and still.. their old technology and their old political allies will remain in place. But FREEDOM will be trashed (even more than it is now by the failed press).

Nothing will happen. Too much potential now for massive risk to life and property for all Americans if this went "above the fold" of any major news media. Besides, the actual article here is said to be a hoax anyway. Rule of thumb - NOTHING you read on internet pass along mail is likely to be true !!

Things NOT allowed on the table for discussion: Break state regulations that will permit cross-state competition where monopolies exist now under "good old boy" arrangements. Initiate tort reform where trial lawyers mill billions of dollars into the cost of drugs and medical care. Why not?

Cpl. Steven R. Koch
We met his dad while paying respects to Asiatic Fleet sailors and marines from WWII. We were honored to meet his dad and learn of his family's efforts to raise funds for wounded warriors.
... From an email ...
The CPL Koch Challenge coins like the one I showed you go fo $20 each and half of that is to pay for the coin and the other half is split between Wounded Warrior and American Legion Post 25 in Milltown, NJ for their veteran services they do. The Milltown post is very active and they go to Walter Reed each year and to local vet rehabs or hospitals to visit and distribute items for veterans..
T-shirts of CPL Koch are 15 each and we do the same with the money, pay for them and donate to the causes.
Checks are made out to:

Payoff for Soros
| A story you don’t want to overlook. The Obama administration -- through the US Export Bank -- just guaranteed $2 billion in loans for the Brazilian Oil Giant "Petrobras" for drilling. Now remember we cannot drill in our own country but we just guaranteed $2 billion in loans for a Brazilian oil company. But wait it gets better…when you ask why we would do this? Well, it seems that Obama's good friend and buddy and Democratic supporter George Soros just increased his holdings in this company before the loan was guaranteed. YES, FOLKS, GEORGE SOROS OWNS OVER 10 MILLION SHARES OF THIS COMPANY AND IT IS ONE OF HIS TOP 5 HOLDINGS. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CANNOT DO ENOUGH FOR HIS SUPPORTERS. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS DESTROYING THE U.S. AND HELPING THOSE WHO HELP THEM GET RICHER. No drilling for us in the U.S. , but, a little 10 Billion Loan Guarantee for good old George's oil company in Brazil ... no problem! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Jack Webb Schools Barack
Well, the 400 year thing is off , but Webb gets the story right in general.
Labor Day
I think I have always had to work on labor day - except maybe a few times as a kid. I never got the drift of it much. As it often does - this time - it comes on my birthday and I don't recall many of my birthdays when I was not working for one reason or another. I'm retired now but my wife is expecting me to do some chores on labor day. Maybe I can convice her to go with me to a parade somewhere.
A lot of people work on labor day because it is a big day of income for them. I came to understand that the day was mainly created as a holiday for government and union workers. As a kid from a farm, I think some of my labor days were spent huckstering sweet corn or watermelons at the end of the season to people who were going to the beach for a big party. Late in the day we could go down to the creek and eat one of the remaining melons while enjoying the cold water on sunburned necks. "Rednecks" as it were.
But - somehow in the back of my mind is a picture of how labor day should be - and I hope it will become that way again sometime for someone else's imagination to ponder as they work that day.
Now - of course - there are so many people unemployed - who have time to reflect on the day to honor labor. I hope they are back in the economy soon and that they get some of those labor days off - with PAY !!
This was my response to friend MJT's blog in Jacksonville.com

Barack Obama - scandal
Barack Obama Sneaks Through “Union Only” Order Shutting 8 in 10 Construction Workers Out of Federal Projects -
Well, it makes sense. He gave away GM and Chrysler to the Unions instead of letting the retired and pensioned bondholders have their life savings. I also noticed today that FORD is zooming ahead in car sales based on cash for clunkers while GM and Chrysler are still losing sales. Payback to the unions. I think voters are seeing this. Taking notes. Buying accordingly. Stimulus delays? Oh yes. Here is one big "WHY". This stimulus was only meant for the "dead economic zone" of the rustbelt where Unions rule the graveyards of factories.

I'm Tired - from a former congressman
"I'm Tired"
by Robert A. Hall ... .... "I'm Tired - from a former state senator": www.tartanmarine.blogspot.comI'll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it.
