PC, could it be?

Some in DC are suggesting that perhaps the Fort Hood Killer, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan may have avoided being reported because of Political Correctness and that because of him being a Moslem.

My bet is if his name had been Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan-Gomez they would be preparing a welcome for him at the White House.

So what if?

We don't have enough ability to generate or transmission grid (wires) to support the use of Electric Vehicles?

Plug your Electric Car into what, a portable gas generator?

Not to forget that 50% of electrical energy is lost in the process of moving it from the source (coal, gas or hydro generators) to where you would plug-in your Electric Car . . . or toaster for that matter.

Note: A true greenie would park their Electric Car next to the power house.

So what ya gonna do when the wall socket runs dry?

Chilling out with Sarah!

Did a Costco trip today and spotted a pallet piled high with Sarah Palin's new book and not one had been taken from the stack.

Maybe that was because it was sharing space on an island in the frozen food section and that was quite a distance from the other book offerings. Curious!

There we have it, GM is in the Black!

Government should follow GM's lead and start slashing wasteful efforts and killing non-performing sectors.

The Sheep Skin frames await!

The other day I caught a PR story sent out by the Portland Public Schools that was read in full on KINK FM 101.9. I hate to say, but based on the tone of voice I think the DJ had bought into the whole line. Baaaa!

In it they told of how Portland Schools are fairing much better since they have changed the rating process. This is where they rate each school by comparing its recent score with an earlier score and thus able to gauge their individual schools improvement.

They no longer compare one City school's performance with another. I suppose they found that was divisive and lead to hurt feelings.

The same rule applied, its obvious that I have earned one or two Doctoral Degrees based on my personal improvement over the years. I'll be the judge of that.

That assuming my becoming aware of government based bull shit is an improvement.

An old story repeated!

An old story in the trucking biz is about how a tanker loaded with what was then a new and untested liquid chemical formula, began to spring leaks soon after it hit the highway.

With stopping the rig the driver watched helplessly as the chemical dissolved every weld in what then was thought an indestructible, stainless-steel trailer. Big surprise, as that was not what anybody had ever expected.

What made me think of this old story is the same structural failures seem to be plaguing our homeland, the United States of America.

Today, we find ourselves having taken on a load of a new formula in the form of an untested President and his chemistry is causing what we once thought as our almost indestructible Nation . . . to come apart at the seams.

I don't think this is what everybody expected. However, I fear some did and now hope to take every advantage of the outcomes.

Perhaps its time we inspect some welds and learn who formulated this witches brew.

Sign of the times!

Need I say more?

Well done Joe!

It was almost refreshing to hear Vice President Joe Biden today as he delivered condolences at a memorial ceremony honoring soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

Joe's words were honest, from the heart and his sincerity rang through.

This was quite unlike the mechanical delivery vended out of Teleprompter Reading Obama today in Ft. Worth.

Amazing to think of how many in the US fail to recognize a phony when they see and hear one.
