Pssh: Cuba Is The 7th Happiest Country July 5, 2009

At least, when environmental liberals measure things. Also, the U.S. is nowhere near the top of the list. Apparently the measure of happiness they use is how sustainable of a lifestyle the inhabitants live.

So let’s see: We’re supposed to give up all manner of freedoms for the happiness and security they want the government to provide (bad enough) and that’s their standard of happiness? Over my dead body.

I didn’t realize we had any video of Gettysburg veterans, or any civil war vets, for that matter. It’s kind of amazing to think that I must know someone old enough to have known someone who was alive and could remember when Lincoln died, and the civil war. It wasn’t so long ago, was it?

For people with bad gums, such as myself. I don’t need gum grafting yet, but my dentists have been nervous about my games for pretty much my whole adult life…

That didn’t take long. Democrats are already introducing legislation to repeal the 22nd amendment, and let Obama run for president as many terms as he would like. Given his recent stance on Honduras, I bet he’d like that.

I said a couple of days ago that I’d sign up for a class to learn to echolocate, well: I may not have to! Apparently it’s something you can teach yourself, following a pretty simple system. I’ll have to give it a try.

And what it does to the price of coal. Remember, Obama did say he wants to bankrupt the coal industry.

Neat. But the barrier to photonic computing doesn’t seem to be on the optical gates but on optical registers.

Obama’s going around claiming that the stimulus is working. That’s only true if it’s purpose isn’t to create jobs.

Much More To Be Said About Honduras July 1, 2009

And many people saying it. This incident, for myself, has lowered my opinion of Obama considerably. While I always disagreed with his policies, I still thought that he stood for freedom and Democracy (and just didn’t realize the stifling effects big government has on freedom and Democracy). Now I really don’t know if Obama wouldn’t try and pull the same El Presidente for life crap that Castro and Chavez and so many other leftist allies have tried, if he thought he could get away with it. Look at the company he’s keeping, the company he’s co-sponsering legislation with! It’s not just that he’s emphasizing multi-culturalism over fundamental human rights, the mistake most on the left seem to make that puts them in the company of all sorts of dubious types; Obama honestly seems to be pro-fascist, even including the more militant connotations of the word. If he wasn’t, he would have chosen the other side of the argument to stand for, and he would have made his stand considerably earlier.

The court has ruled in Franken’s favor. That gives the Senate Democrats a filibuster proof majority.

Nothing like getting dead people to vote for you, then tossing out your opponents ballots through legal challenges, right Al?

At this point, nobody knows who honestly one the election: most likely Coleman did, but there’s enough reasonable doubt that the only honest and fair thing to do would be to hold it again in some sort of runoff process. Regardless, this is a seat we positively know has been decided through fraud and deception. The basic math guarantees it. To every American voter out there: Are you feeling robbed? You should. And if you’re not and are instead rejoicing that Franken has won, you should also be feeling pretty dirty, because he did not win through a process even remotely approaching a fair election.

Or at least really, really slow it down. Of course, that means that Congress will have to pass more legislation to subsidize the market again. Really, it’s a foolproof plan, what could go wrong?

There is much to be said about the transition of responsibility occurring today in Iraq, but the most important thing is congratulations to our soldiers, and thank you.
