Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Judd?

Posted By Dave Snope

Ha ha, they should be afraid because they know that liberals will vote for anyone, no matter how stupid, based entirely on warm fuzzy feelings. Ashley said that Obama "has an incredible devotion to our Constitution". But I think that you should support her, Rod, because we can tell she is a constitutional scholar when she said, “Read Catharine MacKinnon!”. You know, the University of Michigan law professor whose claim to fame is saying that any man who has sex with an adult woman is a rapist, regardless of consent by the woman.

But she'll be big with the liberal voters because religion is about feeling good about yourself. She said “Church and religion are SO important to me. The God thing, the Jesus thing, the Buddha thing, so important to me.”

She'll be a big hit for lefties who want a nanny-state government to tell us how to drink water: “You have to drink warm water — body temperature is best — because otherwise the cold makes your gut clench up and the body has to expend energy warming it. That’s why I never use ice.”

As a Senator, she will be sure to make air travel safer for everybody: “I will never fly Virgin again. Last time, Dario and I were in the first-class section, and they seated us where we could hear EVERYTHING going on in the galley. Clink, clink, clink, the whole time. I asked them to stop, and the little motherf****s gave me such attitude. It was horrible — my husband saw what was coming, and he reached out to hold my hand, and I bawled all the way from Los Angeles to London.”

Servant-Leader....right.

"Dark money". That's racist. They never used that term about a white president. Leave "the most transparent administration ever" alone to save the world from profiteers, industrialists, and fat-cat polluters.

What to do when the winter skies are here?

Posted By Dave Snope

I finally broke down and bought a Garmin GPS 500 bike computer for my recumbent. This seemed to be a good one for my bike because it was easy to mount with the screen facing me and it's very easy to move around if I don't like where it is. And I prefer that it's smaller than the newest 510 model. I tried it today and downloaded the data and viewed it with their online analyzer. I got a heart rate monitor, too, because I was getting curious about what the ticker was doing going up and down hills. Here's my first track data using it:

Volcanoes Slowed GW

Posted By Dave Snope

So, when it gets warmer it is caused by man-made CO2, but when it gets cooler it is caused by natural SO2? These guys don't even pretend to pretend to use the scientific method. They call it science when they try to prove why their bad models are wrong by coming up with weakly correlated reasons. That isn't science, it's political science. And the volcano effect is in the statistical noise, when right in front of their noses the solar cycles and ocean cycles have strong correlation to global temperature.

Worst of all, volcano activity has not increased. According to http://volcanic-eruptions.findthedata.org/, the number of moderate volcanic eruptions has decreased compared to the 1990s: – same story for moderate/large, small, very large and colossal.

In Washington State They Are Taxing Breathing

Posted By Dave Snope

"(If you drive a car ), I’ll tax the street,
(If you try to sit ), I’ll tax your seat,
(If you get too cold ), I’ll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk ), I’ll tax your feet.
Taxman."

LA Times:


A Berkeley city councilman is proposing an email tax to help the cash-poor United States Postal Service stay afloat.

Gordon Wozniak suggested that using email, which is partially responsible for killing off demand for letter-carrying services, could save “vital functions” of the post office, the news site Berkleyside reported.

“There should be … a very tiny tax on email,” he told the City Council. “There should be something like a bit tax. I mean, a bit tax could be a cent per gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollar a year.”

The problem is, such a levy wouldn’t be legal unless the Internet Tax Freedom Act is allowed to expire in 2014.

I think we all agree this was well spent money

A decent American would open a lesbian fat camp and would make $1.5M dollars, donate 10% to LGBT causes, 5% to politics, get some good press, make people more healthy and happy, pay $500K more in taxes, and help the local economy by buying a new car, remodeling his house, a maid, a gardener, an accountant, and go out to dinner a lot.
