A moment of silence for the bulb

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

This makes me sick. Because of our Nanny state government, the last incandescent light bulb factory in the U.S. is closing, putting 200 people out of work. Now if we want light we’ll have to buy those nasty CFLs… from China, of course! Putting Americans out of work in favor of a mercury laden, Chinese [...]

Good enough for the Mexicans, not so much for us. This is the same government that has blocked U.S. oil companies from working in the Gulf for the last four months, paving the road to Brazil. Is this a simple trade agreement, since our loaning them money ensures they purchase goods from us? Or is [...]

While the leaders of Israel and Palestine are set to resume peace talks, Islamic nutjobs all over the world speak their truth. I like the bit about the ‘peaceful alternative’, giving each Israeli enough food and water so they can ‘go back where they came from’. Take note of what this speaker does for a [...]

…try another stimulus! Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy, President Barack Obama will call for long-term investments in the nation’s roads, railways and runways that would cost at least $50 billion. The infrastructure investments are one part of a package of targeted proposals the White House is expected to announce in [...]

We had the pleasure of Erinyes and Folly’s company last night as they make their way down the Florida peninsula. They brought with them two boys [the best sort of boys; well mannered, kind and inquisitive], five dogs and three cats. Oh, and a gerbil.
