James Lee was influenced by Al Gore.  He believed An Inconvenient Truth was gospel.  What else do I have to say? Just a suggestion, only a suggestion, maybe Obama needs to direct his Homeland Security people to look in a different direction?  The last two attacks certainly can’t be described as “right wing extremism”.  Ya [...]

With an assist from Glenn Beck: That is all I have to say about that.

No one has ever been stripped of a Nobel Prize, because this is actually specifically forbidden by the organization which administers the Nobel Prizes. According to the Nobel Foundation, “no appeals may be made against the decision of a prize-awarding body with regard to the award of a prize,” and no prizes can be revoked [...]

President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize.  Although some are scratching their heads over why, I’m not.  It’s quite obvious and the Nobel peeps even said why: “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” Some were somewhat dubious of his accomplishments: “Frankly to be nominated after he has been in [...]

OK, I got this email.  I thought it was kinda funny: 1947   Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is [...]

In 1979 the US government bailed out Chrysler.  It was a resounding success as Chrysler restructured, cranked out new and innovative vehicles, and paid back the loan in four years. In 2008, Chrysler, GM, and Ford are back at the begging table for another bailout. In 1979 I was a teenager more interested in babes [...]

This is getting too predictable to ignore.  However, the media in general pretty much has.  See if you can follow me on this. In 2000, we were definitely changing presidents.  It was a neck and neck race with two very politically diverse candidates running.  One was a staunch conservative Republican and the other was a [...]

Russell Brand, the British comedian who I honestly had never heard of, had some things to say during the Video Music Awards, which I never watch.  First, he attacked the Jonas Brothers for advocating no sex before marriage: Now, I’m sure that sat real well with the religious crowd in the US. He then attacked [...]

Al Gore got his Nobel.  I knew he would.  Pandering to the latest craze with glitz and high-production costs usually gets the headlines.  The Nobel committee are no different.  The award named for the man that has led to more man-made deaths on Earth going to a man for making an obviously flawed movie recommending [...]

For the past few months, we’ve heard over and over how Republicans are not satisfied with their slate of candidates.  That supposedly was the basis of the Fred Thompson push.  Even today CBS is running such a story that predicts a Democrat win in nineteen months because Democrats like their candidates and Republicans don’t.  So, [...]
