Vote for Mike Huckabee?

Here are some reasons not to vote for Mike Huckabee...

• He's on record supporting the Supreme Court's sodomy-is-a-constitutional-right decision. It had been denounced by virtually every conservative and Christian group in America.

• Huckabee opposes school choice, earning him the endorsement of the NEA of New Hampshire. This must be some type of political move. (btw- NEA stands for No Educating Allowed)

• He promoted giving in-state tuition in Arkansas to illegal immigrants from Mexico — but not to U.S. citizens. "I don't believe you punish the children," he said, "for the crime and sins of the parents."

• He also said that illegal immigration gives Americans a chance to make up for slavery.

• In a widely quoted remark, Huckabee denounced a Republican bill that would merely require proof of citizenship to vote and receive government benefits as "un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life," according to the Arkansas News Bureau.

• Huckabee wants to get kids involved in music at an early age because he believes it leads to a more balanced and developed brain. (according to Ann Coulter they'd be balanced like the Jackson's while the Osmond's are voting for Romney)

• He supports a nationwide smoking ban anyplace where people work, constitutional protection for sodomy, big government, higher taxes and government benefits for illegal aliens.

Silly Quote

"Models are like baseball players. We make a lot of money quickly, but all of a sudden we're 30 years old, we don't have a college education, we're qualified for nothing, and we're used to a very nice lifestyle. The best thing is to marry a movie star."
Cindy Crawford, Supermodel
It's frightening to think that she's old enough to vote.

Ice Storm Hits Oklahoma

We've been hit with a terrible ice storm. It's similar to the one 5 years ago. Trees have fallen because of the weight of the ice and that's created quite a lot of damage. Also, electricity is out in many parts of the state which means heat is off in many homes. Let's not forget the auto accidents and disrupted phone service.

President Bush declared the state an emergency area and help is on the way.

It's been raining all day and it's going to freeze tonight.

Oy!

The King and King

Chalk another one up for the extreme left. There's a pro homosexual book called "King and King". A king, a man, marries another man which makes him king, too. This brings up a question. Who's in charge of the country? At least with the realistic approach of king and queen the king is the decision is obvious.

Here's the ringer. It's supposed to be read to second graders. Maybe if the book ended with both of them contracting AIDS and dying a miserable death and the moral of the story was not be homosexual then maybe it would be worth reading.

This isn't a popular stand with my homosexual family members and friends. They still love me and I them.

The Carnivores are Starving

I've been going to church for a long time. Except for a few years in the 70's it's been about 50 years. Through those years the main course was always meat. What I mean is the preachers would explain things from the Bible that would challenge the congregation. There would be a moving of the Holy Spirit and tugging at the heart to do the right thing. Revivals would bring many people to Jesus or bring Christians to their knees and they'd get back on track. Rotten people would be convicted and their lives would change. Through the Scriptures we would be taught, reproofed, corrected and grounded in doctrine.

Things have changed, and not for the better. It's rare to go to a church and hear sound preaching. These days the preaching, or lecturing, is lame. Bible is used but it's not allowed to work on it's own. Writers have to be quoted ad nauseum. Shaky theology is taught and nobody stands up against it. The wooing of the Holy Spirit used to be the power of sermons. Now it's seemingly cast to the side.

We're given all this information but not taught how to use it or what to do with it. Evangelism is lost to the winds. Jesus' words of go an tell are substituted for come join our party and feel good. We're given a steady diet of vegetable broth. Not even a chunk of tofu. Just clear vegetable broth.

The carnivores are starving. Hey preachers, throw us some meat.

algore Error #2 Pacific Islands Drowning

Hey, I'm sorry I've been so long. Life has been busy. Here's the next installment of why algore is wrong. Make that very wrong and not even close to being right.

Gore says low-lying inhabited Pacific coral atolls are already being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming, leading to the evacuation of several island populations to New Zealand. However, the atolls are not being inundated, except where dynamiting of reefs or over-extraction of fresh water by local populations has caused damage.

Furthermore, corals can grow at ten times the predicted rate of increase in sea level. It is not by some accident or coincidence that so many atolls reach just a few feet above the ocean surface.

Image Ms. Kreider says, “The IPCC estimates that 150 million environmental refugees could exist by the year 2050, due mainly to the effects of coastal flooding, shoreline erosion and agricultural disruption.” However, the IPCC cannot be basing its estimate on sea-level rise, since even its maximum projected rise of just 30 cm (1 ft) by 2050 would not cause significant coastal flooding or shoreline erosion. There are several coastlines (the east coast of England, for instance) where the land is sinking as a consequence of post-ice-age isostatic recovery, or where (as in Bangladesh) tectonic subduction is similarly causing the land to sink. But such natural causes owe nothing to sea-level rise.

There have been no mass evacuations of populations of islanders as suggested by Gore, though some residents of Tuvalu have asked to be moved to New Zealand, even though the tide-gauges maintained until recently by the National Tidal Facility of Australia show a mean annual sea-level rise over the past half-century equivalent to the thickness of a human hair. The problem with the Carteret Islands, mentioned by Ms. Kreider, arose not because of rising sea levels but because of imprudent dynamiting of the reefs by local fishermen.

In the Maldives, a detailed recent study showed that sea levels were unchanged today compared with 1250 years ago, though they have been higher in much of the intervening period, and have very seldom been lower.

Image A well-established tree very close to the Maldivian shoreline and only inches above sea level was recently uprooted by Australian environmentalists anxious to destroy this visible proof that sea level cannot have risen very far.

UK Judge Rules algore's Sci-fi Movie Contains Misinformation

By now you've heard about the judge in the High Court in London ruling that 9 of the 35 factual errors were serious enough to require the United Kingdom's government to pay substantial costs to a plaintiff. That's right, algore's fiction movie has flaws that are serious enough to sue the government for showing it. The judge also ruled that if the movie is to be shown equal time must be given to responsible science.

This will infuriate the lefts dogma of intolerance and hate but it's time that the right thing be done instead of blindly following so called good intentions.

Today I'm going to begin showing the 35 factual errors of algore's fictional depiction of global warming. If you would like to see all of it right now you can go to the Science and Public Policy webpage.

Throughout this report you'll read quotes from Ms. Kalee Kreider. She is algore's spokeswoman and “environment advisor”. She also said the movie presented “thousands and thousands of facts.” It did not: just 2,000 “facts” in 93 minutes would have been one fact every three seconds. The left is hoping you won't use your math skills to verify their blanket statements.

Without any further ado here's the first factual error.

ERROR 1 Sea level "rising 6 m"

Gore says that a sea-level rise of up to 6 m (20 ft) will be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland. Though Gore does not say that the sea-level rise will occur in the near future, the judge found that, in the context, it was clear that this is what he had meant, since he showed expensive graphical representations of the effect of his imagined 6 m (20 ft) sea-level rise on existing populations, and he quantified the numbers who would be displaced by the sea-level rise.

The IPCC says sea-level increases up to 7 m (23 ft) above today’s levels have happened naturally in the past climate, and would only be likely to happen again after several millennia. In the next 100 years, according to calculations based on figures in the IPCC’s 2007 report, these two ice sheets between them will add a little over 6 cm (2.5 inches) to sea level, not 6 m (this figure of 6 cm is 15% of the IPCC’s total central estimate of a 43 cm or 1 ft 5 in sea-level rise over the next century). Gore has accordingly exaggerated the official sea-level estimate by approaching 10,000 per cent.

Ms. Kreider says the IPCC estimates a sea-level rise of “59 cm” by 2100. She fails to point out that this amounts to less than 2 ft, not the 20 ft imagined by Gore. She also fails to point out that this is the IPCC’s upper estimate, on its most extreme scenario. And she fails to state that the IPCC, faced with a stream of peer-reviewed articles stating that sea-level rise is not a threat, has reduced this upper estimate from 3 ft in 2001 to less than 2 ft (i.e. half the mean centennial sea-level rise that has occurred since the end of the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago) in 2007.

Ms. Kreider says the IPCC’s 2007 sea-level calculations excluded contributions from Greenland and West Antarctica because they could not be quantified. However, Table SPM1 of the 2007 report quantifies the contributions of these two ice-sheets to sea-level rise as representing about 15% of the total change.

ImageThe report also mentions the possibility that there may be an unquantified further contribution in future from these two ice sheets arising from “dynamical ice flow.” However, the Greenland ice sheet rests in a depression in the bedrock created by its own weight, wherefore “dynamical ice flow” is impossible, and the IPCC says that temperature would have to be sustained at more than 5.5 degrees C above its present level for several millennia before half the Greenland ice sheet could melt, causing sea level to rise by some 3 m (10 ft).

Finally, the IPCC’s 2007 report estimates that the likelihood that humankind is having any influence on sea level at all is little better than 50:50.

The judge was accordingly correct in finding that Gore’s presentation of the imagined imminent threat of a 6 m (20 ft) sea-level rise, with his account of the supposed impact on the present-day populations of Manhattan, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, etc., etc, was not a correct statement of the mainstream science on this question.

Oscar Wyatt is a democrat? But... but... but...

According to Reuters some prosecutors promised on Monday that they are going to prove that Texas oilman Oscar Wyatt paid millions of dollars in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's government, earning him a privileged position in Iraq.

Can you believe it? The man guilty in the oil for food scam is a democrat! When did dems become oil producers?

Wyatt, an 83-year-old self-made oil tycoon (tycoons are richer than the Bushes), faces five counts in Manhattan federal court including engaging in prohibited financial transactions with Iraq, deals alleged to have violated the U.N. oil-for-food program designed to provide humanitarian assistance to Iraq while it was under international sanctions.

What's the deal? Have we been duped? I'm totally dumbfounded?

As you know, according to the press, only rich Republicans are involved in oil. With that being the absolute truth, from the NY Times, can somebody explain how Wyatt, a rich, rich, rich democrat, became involved with oil? The man founded Coastal Oil and sold it for 17 Billion!

Oh, he is very vocal about not being a fan of President Bush and his father.

How can a democrat become so successful in big oil without being in cahoots with them? Why didn't Wyatt blow the price gouging whistle on President Bush? Could it be that the President doesn't have the power that the media says he does?

What will we do? Can the Times defend this?

Miller Brewing Pulls Logo From 'Last Supper' Advertisement

September 26, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - The Miller Brewing Company, a sponsor of this weekend's homosexual "leather" street fair in San Francisco, has asked to have its logo removed from an advertising poster that has offended some Christians.

The advertisement portrays Christ and his disciples as half-naked sado-masochists.

"While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately," the company told Cybercast News Service on Tuesday.

Notes on the Iranian President Visiting the USA

As you know, Mahmoud I’m-a-nut-job has arrived in the United States. You know he was issued a visa to come here. Isn’t that amazing? You need a visa to get into the United States? When did they start with that? -- Jay Leno

iran’s president gave a speech today. Lots of people upset about it. New Yorkers said, “If we want to hear a short-tempered Iranian man yell at us, we’ll take a cab.” -- Conan O'Brien

You know the interesting part? After he landed he drove his own cab in from the airport. -- Jay Leno

Note: the word 'actually' was removed because it's a useless word. iran and president were intentionally spelled using lower case so as not to give unnecessary significance to that country or it's leader -- Don

Division

There are many topics that cause division. Politics and religion are two common ideas that get us riled up. Outrageous comments spew out of our mouths like lava from a volcano and often they’re just as hot. These two fields alone create a coterie of subtopics as vast as a prairie dog town.

This weekend I realized another thing that divides people like a butcher’s cleaver. It’s music.

WHAT!

That’s right. Those mellifluous tones that bring us calming thoughts or send us to Dreamland can instantly bring disharmony and hostility to another. Think about it for a minute. Put on a Led Zeppelin CD with a room full of country fans. Metal heads would rather die than listen to anything else. Have you ever tried to discuss opera with anybody?

Get the picture?

This morning I was in church and we Baptists play music. It’s an important part of our worship. During the service there was a tune I didn’t care for. To me it was just a monotonous repetition. I was momentarily distracted from worship. But as I looked around there were many people singing from their hearts. I realized it wasn’t about me. I prayed.

Even in church we’ve allowed the music to divide us. Churches have two services not because of a growing congregation but because of the division music has created. It’s one thing to become concerned when the preacher is off base or spends too much time not preaching from the Bible. But to make the type of music we sing become most important is a serious problem. It becomes all about us instead of all about the Savior.

Music divides.

==========================================================================================

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgery. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said: "I'm so sorry, Cuddles has passed away."

The distressed owner wailed: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," he replied.

"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing. He might just be in a coma."

The vet rolled his eyes and left the room, returning a few moments later with a black labrador retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said: "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100 per cent certifiably, a dead duck."

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$350!" she cried. "$350 just to tell me my duck is dead?"

The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $40, but what with the lab report and the cat scan-"

Is Sex Education Working?

I just read "Mallard Fillmore" and was reminded of when I was a school kid in the 50' & 60's. Back then the teachers spent their time teaching core subjects such as English, arithmetic, science and history. We never heard any instruction on sex or birth control because that was the parents job.

Today's generations are shown sex education videos. The parents can certainly opt to not have their kid attend but with the super self centered condition of todays parents they're going to let their kids stay. Why should they have to do all the work? (read - talk to their kids when someone else can)

Which generation had less STD's? Unwanted pregancies? Better educated kids?

"Going Green" not a big deal to consumers

This just in from CNSNews

By Randy Hall
CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Editor
August 15, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - Despite unwavering attention from the media, government and business, global warming is only of moderate concern to most consumers, according to a new survey of consumers and their environmental attitudes.

"Consumers are not drinking the Kool-Aid when it comes to green," said J. Walker Smith, president of the Yankelovich, Inc., marketing firm, which released the survey results on Monday.

"While they're highly aware of environmental issues due to the glut of media attention," said Smith, "the simple fact is that 'going green' in their everyday life is simply not a big concern or a high priority."

This is "the first study of its kind to examine how much consumers truly care about green issues," stated the research firm, based in Chapel Hill, N.C., in a news release, which further noted that only 34 percent of consumers feel much more concerned about environmental issues today than a year ago.

These groups largely use "spoke-alarmists whose own wretched excesses expose the movement's hypocrisy and/or lack of seriousness," Horner said. As a result, "the consuming public sees this for what it is: a fashion accessory or statement of fashionability, but not a crisis." (Don sez - algore consumes at least 12 times more energy than the average American)

Telephone calls and e-mails seeking comments from such "green" groups as the Sierra Club, Greenpeace International, the Environmental Defense Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council were not returned by press time. But Smith had some good news for environmental activists. (Don sez - is anybody surprised? They can't refute science.) Read the article...

Help algore!

Hey! algore is in trouble and you can help! Science is having a hard time proving humans are responsible for globalwarming (read algorewarming) and he needs real help before he can debate any qualified scientist. Believe it or not, Barbara Streisand and Sean Penn aren't scientists. Yeah, I about fainted, too, when I found that out.

Go to this website and see how you can help!

By the way, if you can help algore you can receive $100,000!!!

Help algore!

Here's what he's up against. Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (17,000 qualified scientists). Hurry! Help algore.

Looking around at the curios he noticed a very life-like,
life-size bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag but it looked
so striking that he decided he must have it.

He took it to the owner and asked,
"How much is the bronze rat?
"Twelve dollars for the rat, and a hundred dollars if you bring it back."
"I'll take the rat and I won't be bringing it back."

As he walked down the street carrying the bronze rat, he noticed
that a few real rats had crawled out of alleys and sewers, and began
following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting, so he
began to walk a little bit faster. Within a couple of blocks, the group
of rats behind him grew to over a hundred, and they began squealing.

He started to trot towards the Harbor. He took a nervous look
around and saw that the rats numbered in the thousands, maybe in the
millions, and they were all squealing and coming towards him faster and faster.
Terrified, he ran to the edge of the water and threw the bronze rat as
far out into Galveston Bay as he could.
Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the water after
it, and were drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop. "Aha," said the owner,
You're bringing it back !"
No," said the man. "I came back to see how much you
want for that little bronze Mexican over there?

Reagan’s Speech at the Brandenburg Gate

It was on June 12, 1987, that President Ronald Reagan gave his famous “tear down this wall” speech in West Berlin, an event that marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.

Here are some excerpts from that speech:

“Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same -- still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state.

“Yet it is here in Berlin where the wall emerges most clearly; here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world. Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar…

“…In the 1950's, Khrushchev predicted: ‘We will bury you.’ But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history.

“In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind-too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. Freedom is the victor.

“And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom…

“…There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

Quote of the Day

Here's an excellent quote by Thomas Sowell in the National Review. Don't you wish congress could apply his common sense to the immigration problem? Read his article by clicking the title.

People who are pushing for a "guest worker" program show not the slightest interest in what has been happening under guest-worker programs in Europe. Facts are apparently irrelevant. So is logic. Guests are people you invite to your home. Gate crashers are people who come without being invited. Home invaders are people who break in, despite doors that have been shut to keep them out.

Don't Say It!!!

Are there words or phrases you can't stand to hear? Every generation has it's group of fad or over used words and phrases. Some are very interesting others are STUPID! The interesting words will come another time.

Here's a list of words and phrases I could go years without hearing and never miss them.

Actually - Why use it at all? If it's not already "actually" what is it?

Usually - This word is used too much. It means there is an exception but nowadays it’s used as an absolute. How many times have you wanted to know the policy of something and the answer is "USUALLY we don't do that". I always ask what the exceptions are. You should, too.

Kind of or Kinda - 'Kind of' is a phrase that shows similarities but nobody uses it that way. I kinda think you shouldn't do that. Class, we're kinda going to take a test. And the best for last... I'm kinda pregnant.

These ones - Does this need explaining?

So, but, anyway - How many times have you heard that used? Most of the time the Amway speaker is at a loss of words and regurgitates 'so, but, anyway'. Even a fool is considered wise when he's silent.

Like - For over 50 years it's been used to start sentences. Like, ya know?

I think so - Are people so mindless that they don’t know what they’re doing? Are you wearing glasses? I THINK SO. Did the ball hurt you when it smashed your face? I THINK SO. How about “I THINK we have a doctors appointment. Where are you going? (While seated in an airplane at 33,000 ft) I THINK I'M TAKING A PLANE TRIP. Are you a teacher? I THINK SO. The last one is frightening.

Fundamentalist - It’s mindlessly used to put someone down or to make someone feel superior over another. These same people don’t realize that all forms of rational thought begin with “Fundamentals”. Fundamentals are the foundation of everything we do. Being a Fundamentalist means you have a foundation on which to build.

Have a nice day - It’s fine if someone means it but I can’t tell you the last time that happened. It’s just something people without thinking. It means nothing.

Me and - This is a pet peeve deluxe. Me and Joe are... AKKKKKKKKKKKK! STOP IT!. Never start a sentence with 'me'.

Sorry - It's no longer a feeling of regret. It’s down right rude to knock someone down because you’re not paying attention and then say “sorry, teehee”. It shows contempt when somebody takes some of your Freedom Fries without asking and says, “sorry”. Besides, if you do something on purpose why would you say you're sorry?

Hi Guys - Not necessarily when addressing some friends, but when it comes from the hostess or waitress at a nice restaurant it’s so crude. I don‘t want giggly and bubbly. I want service and I want to be left alone. It should be banned from all eating establishments.

Profanity, anywhere or anytime is never appropriate.

It’s not a big deal - Somebody cuts in line, It’s not a big deal I do it all the time. Someone destroys something of value to you, It’s not a big deal I’m insured.

The Man upstairs - God is not some good ol’ boy. He deserves honor to His name.

It can’t be done - Yes it can. Unless you're kenny g trying to make a soprano sax sound good. Maybe there's an occasional exception, that is, as long as I approve of it.

Hypocrite Hillary

In 2002 Mrs. Clinton voted for going to war with Iraq. Until recently she said she would never deny funding the troops and would never be in favor of imposing a pull out date.

Well, well, well...

In the past 10 days she's done just that. She was one of the 14 senators to vote against funding the troops and she wants a pull out date.

Prius Outdoes Hummer in Environmental Damage!

Here's a great article written by Chris Demorro, staff writer for the Recorder Online at Central Connecticut State University.

The Toyota Prius has become the flagship car for those in our society so environmentally conscious that they are willing to spend a premium to show the world how much they care. Unfortunately for them, their ultimate ‘green car’ is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America; it takes more combined energy per Prius to produce than a Hummer.

Before we delve into the seedy underworld of hybrids, you must first understand how a hybrid works. For this, we will use the most popular hybrid on the market, the Toyota Prius.

The Prius is powered by not one, but two engines: a standard 76 horsepower, 1.5-liter gas engine found in most cars today and a battery- powered engine that deals out 67 horsepower and a whooping 295ft/lbs of torque, below 2000 revolutions per minute. Essentially, the Toyota Synergy Drive system, as it is so called, propels the car from a dead stop to up to 30mph. This is where the largest percent of gas is consumed. As any physics major can tell you, it takes more energy to get an object moving than to keep it moving. The battery is recharged through the braking system, as well as when the gasoline engine takes over anywhere north of 30mph. It seems like a great energy efficient and environmentally sound car, right?

You would be right if you went by the old government EPA estimates, which netted the Prius an incredible 60 miles per gallon in the city and 51 miles per gallon on the highway. Unfortunately for Toyota, the government realized how unrealistic their EPA tests were, which consisted of highway speeds limited to 55mph and acceleration of only 3.3 mph per second. The new tests which affect all 2008 models give a much more realistic rating with highway speeds of 80mph and acceleration of 8mph per second. This has dropped the Prius’s EPA down by 25 percent to an average of 45mpg. This now puts the Toyota within spitting distance of cars like the Chevy Aveo, which costs less then half what the Prius costs.

However, if that was the only issue with the Prius, I wouldn’t be writing this article. It gets much worse.

Building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer that is on the road for three times longer than a Prius. As already noted, the Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the plant to test moon rovers. The area around the plant is devoid of any life for miles.

The plant is the source of all the nickel found in a Prius’ battery and Toyota purchases 1,000 tons annually. Dubbed the Superstack, the plague-factory has spread sulfur dioxide across northern Ontario, becoming every environmentalist’s nightmare.

“The acid rain around Sudbury was so bad it destroyed all the plants and the soil slid down off the hillside,” said Canadian Greenpeace energy-coordinator David Martin during an interview with Mail, a British-based newspaper.

All of this would be bad enough in and of itself; however, the journey to make a hybrid doesn’t end there. The nickel produced by this disastrous plant is shipped via massive container ship to the largest nickel refinery in Europe. From there, the nickel hops over to China to produce ‘nickel foam.’ From there, it goes to Japan. Finally, the completed batteries are shipped to the United States, finalizing the around-the-world trip required to produce a single Prius battery. Are these not sounding less and less like environmentally sound cars and more like a farce?

Wait, I haven’t even got to the best part yet.

When you pool together all the combined energy it takes to drive and build a Toyota Prius, the flagship car of energy fanatics, it takes almost 50 percent more energy than a Hummer - the Prius’s arch nemesis.

Through a study by CNW Marketing called “Dust to Dust,” the total combined energy is taken from all the electrical, fuel, transportation, materials (metal, plastic, etc) and hundreds of other factors over the expected lifetime of a vehicle. The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles - the expected lifespan of the Hybrid.

The Hummer, on the other hand, costs a more fiscal $1.95 per mile to put on the road over an expected lifetime of 300,000 miles. That means the Hummer will last three times longer than a Prius and use less combined energy doing it.

So, if you are really an environmentalist - ditch the Prius. Instead, buy one of the most economical cars available - a Toyota Scion xB. The Scion only costs a paltry $0.48 per mile to put on the road. If you are still obsessed over gas mileage - buy a Chevy Aveo and fix that lead foot.

One last fun fact for you: it takes five years to offset the premium price of a Prius. Meaning, you have to wait 60 months to save any money over a non-hybrid car because of lower gas expenses.

Mission Accomplished II

As one visitor mentioned in the comment section of the last post, the reason the his speech is called Mission Accomplished is because of the sign that's hanging behind the President.

Incidentally, the sign wasn't located in the immediate background. It was placed high on the top of the control tower (aka the island) for all to see as they approached port.

Why was it there?

The sign was signifying the end of the USS Abraham Lincoln's 10 month deployment. One of the longest, if not the longest, on record for a United States Navy ship. It was hanged at the request of the crew members because they had accomplished their mission. That was a proud moment for the crew of the USS Lincoln, which the media snubbed in favor of criticizing the President.

What the mainstream media didn't tell you is that the sign had nothing to do with the operations in Iraq. The President's speech stressed that point when he said in the speech:

"We have difficult work to do in Iraq."

"The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time."

"The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001."

Does anybody really get a sense that a mission had been accomplished.

Mission Accomplished?

Today is the anniversary of the Mission Accomplished speech the President gave on the USS Abraham Lincoln. For laughs, I looked up the speech and read it. Then, like a slap in the face, something was missing. I read it again and again. Much to my surprise the thing that was missing was the phrase "Mission Accomplished". It's no where to be seen.

So why is it called the "Mission Accomplished" speech? The only thing I can think of is because them mainstream media elite want you to believe he said it. Why would somebody want to lie to us like that?

Maybe they're filled with so much hatred that they'll do anything to discredit somebody they don't like. It's obvious to me they hate the truth.

Another Tragedy

After the initial shock of the shootings at Virginia Tech the pundits started throwing out their usual slop of 'what ifs' and 'if onlys' around. One of the first cry out of the shoot was the need for strict gun control. Naturally, that's what this country doesn't need. For some reason it doesn't sink into the heads of these extremists that law abiding citizens don't commit these crimes. The crimes of shooting people are executed by people who have no regard for the law. Another thing that doesn't reach the gray matter in their skulls is the fact that criminals will always have access to guns. Any type of guns. They purchase them from criminals who sell other criminals guns.

Virginia has a conceal and carry law. By the way a concealed weapon is not a handgun. A concealed weapon is a weapon you can't see. A handgun in a holster that's hanging from your hip is not a concealed weapon. A shotgun or bazooka under a trench coat is a concealed weapon. At any rate, you can carry a weapon anywhere except on the campus of a school. It's not a state law, it's a decision made by the board of regents of that university. If Virginia Tech allowed law abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons maybe the criminal wouldn't have been able to kill 32 students.

He's not here for He is risen...

He is not here; for He is risen

Illegal Aliens Go Home!

Did anybody see Bill O'Reilly's show on Friday night. Geraldo Rivera was on it. The topic was about the illegal alien that killed two girls in Virginia while driving drunk. Although it turned into a shouting match, and at one point it looked like a fight would break out, O'Reilly made excellent points while Geraldo kept arguing if the drunk driver had not been illegal this wouldn't be news.

I believe our judges need to enforce the laws for driving drunk. Too often the criminal isn't given a sentence for his crime. Instead the criminal is given another opportunity to drive drunk. That's not acceptable.

Drunk drivers who kill should be given the full sentence.

As far as illegal aliens are concerned, they have no business being in this country. Secondly, they have absolutely no business committing crimes in this country. When an illegal is arrested they should serve their time and then be deported.

Come to think of it, when an illegal alien is arrested they should be deported.

Is She for Real?

This afternoon I was watching the news and was caught by the Pelosi debacle in Syria. Has anybody else noticed how she's been behaving around the enemies of the free world? She acts worse than a giddy school girl on her first date. What's with all the hopping around on her toes and giggling?

It's disgusting.

Pelosi, who is heading the "Look at Me" tour of the Middle East, met with Assad on Wednesday. Not only did this anger the Bush Administration but she indicated to Assad and the world that she had delivered a message saying that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks.

"We were very pleased with the reassurances we received from the president [Assad] that he was ready to resume the peace process. He was ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel," Pelosi said.

WHAT?

What the Giggler of the House failed to mention were the only (reasonable) terms Israel will acknowledge for negotiations. I added the 'reasonable' part.

Vice President Chaney said, "She made a nonsensical statement."

He's right. Come to think of it, nonsensical statements are about all she's ever uttered. She's incapable of thinking a partial thought all at once. Has Pelosi ever known what she's talking about?

Prime Minister Olmert emphasized that although Israel is interested in peace with Syria, "that country continues to be part of the axis of evil and a force that encourages terror in the entire Middle East".

"In order to conduct serious and genuine peace negotiations, Syria must cease its support of terror, cease its sponsoring of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations, refrain from providing weapons to Hizballah and bringing about the destabilizing of Lebanon, cease its support of terror in Iraq, and relinquish the strategic ties it is building with the extremist regime in Iran," it said.

Whether or not Syria implements these measures will determine if Syria is sincere about making genuine peace with Israel, Olmert said.

Hey, the courts got it right! Go the the Cato Institute, click the name, and see how some hand gun laws were found unconstitutional in Washington, D.C.

Trivia: Did you know...

In the 2^nd amendment the word “militia” does not mean the military. During the time of the writing of the constitution the word militia meant 'an armed public' or 'citizen soldiers. The public in England couldn't own firearms to protect themselves. The object of having an armed public is to prevent a “Tiananmen Square” event from happening on our soil.

Did You Know?

A about 3 weeks ago I got this email called "Did you know...". Just like most of the emails of this type it was loaded with wrong information. I decided to correct them. Most of them were sayings that people have taken for granted as being true. If you tell a lie over and over people are going to believe it's true. P.T. Barnum said, "a sucker is born every minute."

• Money isn't made out of paper, it's made out of cotton. PARTIALLY TRUE 25% Linen 75% cotton. US MINT

• The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper. NOT TRUE It was written on parchment. Drafts may have been written on hemp paper, which isn't marijuana paper any more that hemp rope is marijuana rope.

• A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. Would somebody please do this? I've never seen it done

• Susan Lucci is the daughter of Phyllis Diller. NOT TRUE About.com

• 315 entries in Webster's 1996 Dictionary were misspelled. This isn't the Merriam-Webster dictionary. They didn't publish a 1996 edition. The term Webster's is a generic form of dictionary. Anybody can call their dictionary Websters. I wrote M-W and got the answer.

• The 'spot' on 7UP comes from its inventor, who had red eyes. He was albino. NOT TRUE He wasn't albino. Snopes and look at his photo in the 7Up site.

• On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents, daily. The only place I could find this was on websites that had this same email. In truth it's a very rare.

• Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine are brother and sister. TRUE IMDB

• Chocolate affects a dog's heart and nervous system; a few ounces will kill a small sized dog. Chocolate toxicity depends on the amount of theobromine in the chocolate. A toxic dose is about 45-50 mg/lb. As most white chocolate contains little theobromine, it is usually not enough to cause symptoms. Milk chocolate contains smaller levels of theobromine, so it would take more to cause symptoms. Some dogs have a higher tolerance than others, but that is the general guideline. Unless your dog was given many chocolate bars at a time or you were feeding him 1-lb bars of chocolate (or baker's or semi-sweet chocolate, which contain more theobromine and are fatal is smaller amounts) it would probably not cause great harm-- mild symptoms include diarrhea, hyperactivity, and vomiting-- but some dogs may be more sensitive so I would not try it personally! It also varies according to the dog's age and health. Found on a veterinary site.

• Orcas (killer whales) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark's stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode. NOT TRUE sharks don't explode.

• Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants. NOT TRUE Snopes.

• Upper and lower case letters are named 'upper' and 'lower' because in the time when all original print had to be set in individual letters, the upper case' letters were stored in the case on top of the case that stored the smaller, 'lower case' letters. ALMOST The letters were in the same case but in different rows. Upper-case were in the row above the Lower-case. Wikipedia, which isn't a totally reliable source.

• Leonardo DA Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time, hence, multi-tasking was invented.) DOUBTFUL Nothing has been found to say he could do this. He was left handed and wrote much of his journals in mirror form. President Garfield could write in two languages at the same time.

• Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood. NOT TRUE They were plaster. IMDB.

• The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan; there was never a recorded Wendy before! NOT TRUE. According to genealogists there are several people named Wendy in the US census before Peter Pan. There were 2 Chinese emperors named Wendi

• There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with: orange, purple, and silver! English dictionary. The Scottish have hirple (to walk lamely) and chirple (a young ewe)

• Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors. Also, it took him 10 years paint Mona Lisa's lips. NOT TRUE Egyptians had scissors in 1500 BC (before Christ) Mona Lisa was painted from 1503 to 1506. Do the math.

• A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death. NOT TRUE A scorpions venom has no effect on themselves.

• The mask used by Michael Myers in the original "Halloween" was a Captain Kirk's mask painted white. Very possible.

• If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have 1.19 You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar (good to know.) Do the math

• By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand (and you thought this list was completely useless.) It's very difficult to sink in quicksand. I've been in quicksand.

• The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law, which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. NOT TRUE rule of thumb is used in measuring by carpenters. There are other uses but nothing about beating a wife.

• The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player or automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was the Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola. NOT TRUE Motorola made car radios and add 'ola' to it because it was a popular suffix.

• Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. It's the same with apples! NOT TRUE Apples are loaded with sugars

• Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying! NOT TRUE When your tears touches onion mist it becomes VERY VERY MILD sulphuric acid. Chewing gum isn't going to help. I was told this by a chemist.

• The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.. DOUBTFUL I've check kosher sites and there is nothing about postage stamps. Not everybody licks stamps. They'll use a wet sponge or let the post office do it.

• Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries. WHY? Can't find any proof of this.

• Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a space suit damages it. NOT TRUE. Passing gas does not compromise the suit. NASA

Conservapedia

Today I learned about an alternative to left leaning and anti-Christian Wikipedia. It's called Conservapedia. The encyclopedia is in it's infancy but looks like it's going to catch on.

There was a time when writing the truth was important regardless of your leanings. Maybe we can get back to it. Wouldn't that be great?

I urge all of you to start using and contributing to Conservapedia.

Baptists, Lent and Peanut Butter

Is there something you really like? Think about it for a minute. How about a favorite beverage. Some people drink Dr. Pepper everyday, not because they're addicted, but because they like Dr. Pepper. For some it's that morning cup of coffee. Maybe it's not a beverage. It could be a favorite TV show or, gasp, emailing or something at work.

For me it's peanut butter. Life seems to revolve around peanut butter. I'm not addicted but if it's in the house it must be eaten. I'll eat it on just about anything. Toast, potato chips, cold pizza or a bake potato. It doesn't matter. Peanut butter makes everything taste better. It's a life enhancer. Some friends would say that coffee is my thing. Coffee is great and is imbibed from morning until late at night. But peanut butter... that's a different story.

Since our pastor, Rick Thompson, arrived a few years ago he's challenged us to participate in Lent. For most people being Southern Baptist means you don't participate in Lent. Nobody really knows why. The Catholics have had that corner of the market since anyone can remember. But for Baptists it's rarely, if ever, done.

Lent is that period of time that begins 40 days before Easter, Resurrection Sunday. In a nutshell Lent is a period of fasting, praying and alms giving. For many Lent has been the the tail end of a joke. But the purpose Lent is to give up something that's important to us so when we think about it we're reminded of what Jesus gave up for us, His life.

Prayer is naturally of utmost importance. How else can you communicate with Him? Oh sure, you can say you can pray while you're on the golf course, but you don't go to the golf course to pray. Prayer should be something you come to a complete stop to do. Yes, you can pray while walking but when you're quiet before the throne of grace your mind can focus on God. During Lent we it would do us all good to find a time of quiet and focused prayer and Bible reading that's different than normal.

Alms giving is giving of your time or money to those in need. It doesn't have to be someone you don't know. You have neighbors and relatives. Think about being kind toward people for 40 days and you'll be better for it. What are you like in traffic? That would be a good start wouldn't it.

Lent is good and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Correction...

I made a slight mistake in the last post about "God the Father" being translated "God the Parent" in the Holman Christian Standard Bible. 1 John 5:1 (HCSB) says, "and everyone who loves the parent also loves his child." Well, the word translated as parent is literally, "he who begats". Parent is a legitimate translation.

I should have translated the verse before making the remark.

Church and Sermons

I had a gig at a local church this last week end. The music was a lot of fun and the musicians were very good. I've always enjoyed being asked to sub for my bass friend, who is an excellent player.

There were 2 services. After the first service I did my usual thing and sat up front to listen to the sermon. I don't know about you but I like being close to the front. There's a sense of involvement or participation up close that I don't get when sitting in the back. I'm not the type to sit and soak.

At any rate, the pastor did something I hadn't heard in a long time. He preached from the Bible and the Bible only. He didn't quote one single man. I was refreshed. Wow, I thought, this is great.

The Bible I took was the Holman translation. I don't like it and am going to put it back on the shelf for reference. One phrase was "God the parent". ACCK! It's supposed to be "God the Father". That's what the Greek says, I know I read Greek.

Back to the sermon. The pastor wasn't fiery or flamboyant. He just preached from the Bible. I hope the word gets out. If there's one thing we don't need it's sermons filled with what man has to say. That's why we're in deep trouble. God's Word is what we need to hear.

Quiet Please ... and Remove Your Hat

I like going places. It doesn't matter where. A nice restaurant where the food is good and puts a smile on my face or just a drive. Long trips are the best. When I was a kid it was like going on an adventure.

One thing I remember is that everybody would dress up when they went somewhere. Men would wear a coat and tie and women would wear a dress and jewelery. Even if you went to a baseball game the men dressed nice. And you never saw a man with a hat on his head if he was inside. It just wasn't done. If there was a rude chart then wearing a hat indoors would have been near the top. That's something that bugs me. No matter how nice the restaurant is half the men are wearing a stupid cap. I want to go over to them and yank it off and throw it on the floor. What's the big deal about wearing a hat anyway? If you're reading this and you wear a hat indoors then stop it right now. And don't let your kids do it either.

I love electronic devices. Laptops, Pocket PC's, MP3 players and cell phones are too good to believe. The Internet is tremendous. Hooray for the guy that invented it. He was a genius. Since he was a genius we know algore couldn't have anything to do with it.

There's one thing about them. No matter where you go someone is being rude with their electronic device. There's something about them that impair the senses. I think it's because you can't do two things at once unless one of those things is natural, like breathing.

It'd be a great thrill if the world would discover etiquette. Over the past few years I've tried to imagine going to a restaurant and not hearing someones phone conversation from across the room or listen to somebody trying to sing while listening to their MP3 player. How come only the people who can't sing always sing in public? And why do people have to talk so loud when they're on a cell phone?

HELLO. I'M HAVING A QUIET DINNER...

Think about how rude is it to have your phone go off in the restaurant. There ought to be voluntary electronic device free zones. I don't think the government should get involved.

The next time you go out anywhere remember to turn off the phone and take off your hat.

More on the Global Warming Hoax...

If you're like me there are occasions when the discussion of global warming comes to the point when the frustrated supporter asks you to name just one scientist that thinks global warming isn't the fault of humans.

Enter the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM). If you need the name of a scientist you can go to the link (located in the title of this blog) and access one of, get ready, over 17,000 scientists who know global warming is a lie. You can even access them by state.

Another fact that has been making the news is that most who say they believe in global warming receive funding. If you don't believe then you don't get paid.

Does that mean "follow the money trail?"

Idiots to Vote?

Idiots from New Jersey may soon have the right to vote, Reuters reports:

State Senate President Richard Codey introduced a bill on Monday that would remove language from the New Jersey constitution that was designed more than 150 years ago to prevent people suffering from mental illness or handicap from casting their vote in national, state or local elections.

Codey wants to eliminate a section that says "no idiot or insane person should enjoy the right of suffrage" and substitute with a reference to "a person who has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting."

Codey, a Democrat who was previously acting governor of New Jersey, said in a statement the term "idiot" is "outdated, vague, offensive to many and may be subject to misinterpretation."

He said individuals with cognitive or emotional disabilities may be capable of making decisions in a voting booth, and those people should not be discriminated against.

Idiot was actually once a clinical term that referred to someone on the FAR LEFT (of the bell curve). It was the lowest grade of "mental deficiency," as a table we found on this page shows the IQ range Classification:

• 70-80 Borderline deficiency
• 50-69 Moron
• 20-49 Imbecile
• Below 20 Idiot

Today "deficiency" is called "retardation," and the IQ range Classification are as follows:

• 50-69 Mild
• 35-49 Moderate
• 20-34 Severe
• Below 20 Profound

So once the law is brought up to date, the only New Jerseyites who will be ineligible to vote are those who are profound.

The Language Barrier

Happy New Year!

I'm sitting here in front of the computer thinking about things that bug me. Do you have things that bug you? I have a few things, if you count several thousand as a few things.

Have you ever noticed that the next generation doesn't talk like the previous generation. The English classes of today are very similar to those that were used several generations ago. For some reason the next generation has always found it necessary to create a code language.

Call it rebellion.

Since the 1920's each generation has created it's own code speak. Does anybody really know what "23 skidoo" means? How about, "beat me daddy 8 to the bar"? I've yet to find anybody explain, "it's like, you know, like yeah!" to me.

One of the catch phrases of the past 60 years has been, "Nobody understands me". Have you ever wondered why?
