    Caught in a lie

    It’s fun to watch Pelosi squirm as she gets confronted on her lies.

    Hollywood, please don’t kill my childhood

    Hollywood, please don’t kill my childhood

    I guess you could call me a “child of the 80′s”. Born in the 70′s, my childhood spanned the decade of the 1980′s. It was a great time to be a child. I would call this the golden age of toys. It was a magic time when toy companies figured out they could market a [...]

    Irony, sweet crude irony

    Ladies and gentleman, you just can’t make up stuff this good… “An expedition team which set sail from Plymouth on a 5,000-mile carbon emission-free trip to Greenland have been rescued by an oil tanker.” Read more… The green crusaders were being watched by dozens of schools across the UK in an attempt to promote awareness [...]

    Your blog as a weapon

    A new bill has been introduce by Rep. Linda T. Sánchez (D-Ca) that could make it a felony to use your blog, website, Facebook, MySpace, or generally any online account in a way that would cause emotional distress on another person. The bill is called the “The Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act“. It’s shocking that [...]

    Twitter about bad driving?

    This has to be the stupidist thing I have seen in a while. CNN news has picked up a story about a Twitter group that encourages people to “tweet” (I hate that saying) about bad drivers. “Why waste your time futilely shaking your fist at the driver who cut you off on the country road [...]

    RIP Pontiac 1926 – 2010

    General Motors will announce today the end of the Pontiac brand. As part of their restructuring, they will kill off the “we build excitement” nameplate. “Two people briefed on GM’s plan confirmed that it includes the demise of Trans Am sports car brand Pontiac, 83 years after the first Pontiac car was introduced.” Could it [...]

    Can’t drive 55? Get ready to pay.

    We’ve already seen that Obama really loves appointing special interests to his administration. He’s allowed Chicago style politics to invade Washington at an unprecedented rate. In the latest example of that, he has appointed Chuck Hurley (CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving) to run the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Now wait. Isn’t appointing the [...]

    Facebook unearthed

    This is a bit “tinfoil hat” and slightly from the left, but worth taking note of. Facebook received tons in venture capital for one reason. “Data mining” is worth a fortune.  The more you say about yourself on social networks, the more marketing demographics you reveal and the more they can target advertising towards you [...]

    World’s land quality suffering

    This should come as not surprise, but very sad none the less. The ISRIC-World Soil Information, a soil research and education organization, has released a global land degradation study that says 25% of the world’s land and soil quantity is in bad shape and getting worse. I don’t doubt what this study has to say. [...]

    Tea Party attendance numbers

    Yesterday’s Tea Parties across the US were amazing! Looks like the “silent majority” isn’t going to be so silent anymore. Now this is really “hope”… hope for a country that cares about its foundation and constitution… hope that one day government will be small and free market will rule. The folks at RedState.com have a [...]
