OK, it just can’t be this easy to cut global warming

10 August, 2009 (03:21) | Current Events, World | |

All right.  This actually sounds reasonable.  More importantly, it appears to be easy, doable, and inexpensive compared to the economy-killing and power-grabbing schemes the likes of Al Gore & Co. have come up with.
From the UK Telegraph:
‘Cloud ship’ scheme to deflect the sun’s rays is favourite to cut global warming. Excerpts:

Creds to Mr. Clinton and the Obama Administration

4 August, 2009 (17:07) | Current Events, World | |

This was a nice finesse.
N. Korean leader reportedly pardons U.S. journalists
I’ve always been reasonably appreciative of the current foreign policy.  Sure, I have complaints, but then I did during the Bush administration, as well.  Do keep in mind that foreign policy isn’t a high-priority interest of Obama, himself, which is why Mrs. Clinton was a [...]

And from the RUSSIANS, no less.

We suck.
I just read this article from Pravda.  Now, anyone over 35 will recall when Pravda was the mouthpiece of the Soviet Union.  Well, no more.  Just read this latest Op/Ed from the former Reds.  What kind of world do we live in when the Russians, through Pravda no less, can lecture us on “the [...]

Did I miss Earth Day?

23 April, 2009 (22:43) | Family, Life, People, World | |

Needless to say, I have recently taken to embracing Earth Day by championing my passion for the planet’s greatest resource.  I wish not to diminish the efforts all the [...]

Does the ‘Ch’ in ChiCom stand for CHEAT?

14 August, 2008 (18:08) | Current Events, World | |

Did I mention something about Authenticity v. Perfection???
I post this without further comment:
Controversy Over Chinese Gymnasts’ Ages Clouds Gold-Medal Win
UPDATE: I read this, as well, from Bela Karolyi, Romanian gymnastics trainer who is working commentary for NBC.  Here’s an excerpt:
“They do good gymnastics and are a good service for the sport,” he said of the [...]

Perfection v. Authenticity

12 August, 2008 (21:54) | Current Events, World | |

The ChiComs are clueless idiots.
I have heard numerous stories about how the Communist Chinese government has been working to ensure a ‘perfect’ Summer Olympic games: ordering half their traffic off the roads, shutting down production plants and seeding clouds to improve the local atmosphere; instructing citizens on what types of clothes to wear and how [...]

I’ve been home a couple of days now and have finally sorted myself out.

Landed in Luxembourg.  Drove to Germany.
Great place, Germany.  Beautiful countryside.  Great food.  Great beer.  Heidelberg Castle and the Necker River are STUNNING.  Photos to follow.

Das gut.

Blue skies, folks.
