From the Anchorage Daily News via Les Jones.
In Alaska, they are looking at record cold this summer.
Here in central Texas, we are looking at a record number of days over 90 and 100 degrees.
Hold on there.
What about "Climate Change?" Here I was thinking the glowbe was actually warmening, but then it looks cold again. What could be going on here?
It's called weather, people. It changes. Get used to it. Maybe even turn off the a/c in your car for a minute and see what "normal" feels like.
Global Warming. Give me a break!

Small Time: I Am It!
I had a peek at Google Analytics just now. Most of my traffic is from the good ol' U.S. of A., but I was a little surprised to see visitors had come in from UK, Canada, Israel, and South Africa. All of these are countries that have soft spots in my heart, for widely various reasons.
Welcome, my international visitors. Take your hats off, and stay a while.

Being Broke Bites.
So today at work, I was fighting a pair of robots. A pallet wrapping machine and a mechanical convection 30 cubic foot incubator. Neither wanted to work in the morning and by the afternoon, it was Me 1, Robots 1. I was seriously demotivated and declared I would not be going in to work tomorrow (saturday, day off, haha).
I told my cubicle buddy S.F. that I would really like to take the rifles out to a field and shoot some random stuff out there, and he agreed that sounded like a lot of fun. Except that the neighbors don't take kindly to that sort of thing, and the police have to do their job.
$20 for two people for an hour at Red's, plus amunition, is NOT going to happen when I have $700 worth of "used to run" waiting for me to get around to it in the driveway, and my already-meager allowance is on standby for the duration of the $3+ gallon of gas.
I so want to go sling some lead downrange right now. If you've never been shooting, I'll find the money somewhere, so we can go make you a better citizen. But just so I can blow off some steam converting money into noise?
Yeah, there won't be any new range reports for a while
sigh

The Bible Was Written By MEN!
New flash: Neal Boortz say: The Bible was written by men.
...
and in other news
...
My car drove to work today, and guns kill people.
...
No, it wasn't. I'm usually right there with you Neal, but you're wrong, and you're wrong because you don't understand.

Vote for . . . McCain?!
[expletive deleted] now I have to donate to the McCain campaign.
Tammy Bruce has convinced me. We will likely only have McCizzle for one term, and he's going to want a legacy. He's not going to want a fight over liberal social issues and we will be able to pressure him to keep him from falling off the left side of the fence. . .
Obimminy the Marxist (how did he get to be a) senator, we might literally not survive as a nation, especially with a Demican majority in both houses, and 2 appointments to the supreme court.
I hate to have to campagin for a democrat for republican for president but I'm going to go request a McCain bumper sticker right now and start trying to convince the people who have already said thew won't vote with these choices to go with the one who's not a marxist for democrat for president.

Vote for McCain (this time).

Obama: Put Up or Go Home.
So, is Obama qualified to be the next President?
Hold on there.
Not as in "won't run the country into the ground", by which criterion he is clearly NOT qualified.
As in, "are you a natural born citizen of the United States of America?", the answer to which is apparently either "No" or "Not telling," depending on whom you ask.
If you ask Obama, you get a blatanly forged and photoshopped fake as a $3 bill Certificate of Live Birth, from one of the most left-wing websites EVAR.
Obama campaign, you have been found endorsing something that is not just a little fake. It's fake like the Ferarri badges on my Buick.
Hosted at Atlas Shrugs 2000 (above linked), reported on by the Joooooos at Israel Insider, via World Net Daily.
So, unless you want to also sell my bridge for me, Obaminitly, it's time for you to produce a genu-wine "this dude is from here" paper, because it looks like you might be losing that nomination after all. And, maybe, going to Federal prison for fraud (and not because of all the flip-flops, either).

New AND Improved: Sawdust to Gasoline, Round II
It's not new theory, but it's looking like double efficiency. Take waste organic biomass and add heat, pressure, water and hydrogen. Then cool it. And you have hydrocarbons suitable for converting to gasoline and diesel.
Nice eh? Let's see how quick the NIMBYs show up for the first plant that turns over a third of their lawn clippings into gasoline.

Independence is Highly Overrated
From CNN
You see, they declared independence and it all went to [expletive deleted]. Now there is an exchange rate of $100B Zimbabwean to $1US.
It's not presented as: the racists took over, kicked out all the whites who were the only ones making anything of any value and gave it all to blacks who didn't know how to make even so much as food, even though their lives depended on it, and now they don't make anything and the only thing the government is doing to combat the problem of not enough money is print more money and crush the political opposition with violence.
No, it's not news, it's CNN.com. Not biased against capitalism at all.

More Shenanigans from the BATFE
From World Net Daily
So, you think you can just tell the truth in a case against the Us, and get away with it? Well guess what mister smarty pants, your part to make rifles shoot different ammunition is a machine gun so neener neener.
What's that, you say it's not a machine gun because we had to add 4 other parts we had laying around the shop, and specialized knowledge, to get it to fire more than once when the trigger is pulled? You say that calling this a machine gun would make a whole (very popular) class of parts now legal into you-get-federal-prison-time machine guns?
Okay, let's just tell you to break the rules and see if we can get you in trouble.
Acting director Sullivan: You sir, are a jackass. Your agency is corrupt and under YOUR leadership, it is driving the law-abiding public to crime, by arbitrarily declaring legal things illegal and making instant criminals.
You and everyone who works for you should be ashamed and hang your heads at this sort of activity on the part of the BATFE.
Shame.

Governor Perry is Trying to Get Me Not to Vote Against Him.
From World Net Daily and just about every conservative talk show out there:
So a couple of girls, 14 and 16 years old, stumble upon a drunken gang initiation whilst walking through a park. They are raped and murdered. One of the rapist/murderers is already dead, and the second is scheduled to stop sucking my tax dollars to keep feeding, housing, and clothing him in (checks calendar) 18 days.
Hold on there.
Mexico (that doesn't believe in killing folks that need killin', like red blooded Texas does) says: That boy's an illegal immigrant from Mexico! You can't just treat him like any other prisoner, he has to talk to the Consul! The forms of Kanly have not been obeyed! You can't kill him! Waaaaa world opinion back us up here!
Pres. Bush: Texas, y'all knock off executin' this scumbag.
supreme Court: Not so fast there pres'.
World court: Not so fast there Texas.
Governor Perry: [deleted] you guys and the [deleted][deleted] horse you rode in on. This [deleted] killed our citizens and he's going to ride the lightning. World court, mexico, everybody, go [deleted] yourself.
Pretty Boy Rick: you're a liberrl and I don't like a lot of what you do, but in this case, you're speaking my language. My only question is: what is taking so stinking long to off this jerk?
