Turnabout is fair play

Finally, something that will filter out annoying & crazy religious fundamentalists!  Now my kids can look at all the porn they want without me worrying that they’ll be exposed to dangerous theological rants.

Do you feel safer?

Knowing how much money the Fed wastes in order to protect us from the handful of terrorists.

I love science

Making vaccine patches with hundreds of tiny melting needles.  It helps with administering vaccines in remote places, as well as increases the shelf life of vaccines.

Why the Seattle Area bugs me

Because the people here talk a great liberal game, but are incapable of executing it.

I’ve visited & lived in cities that have put together great public transportation systems, or solid welfare systems, or other liberal hopes, and they all had one thing in common: Public Action.

Sure, these things cost money, and when put to a vote, the people in those places said yes to the tax increases (sometimes narrowly, sometimes resoundingly), but they also kept an eye fixed hard on the people spending that money, and when those people dropped the ball, they demanded accountability, and they peacefully assembled, rallied, & voted to get it.

Sound Transit seems to be immune from accountability, and the people out here seem uninterested in demanding it.

Sorry about the real world hitting you in the face

For all the wannabe Libertarians/Constitutionalists/Etc. who are suffering under the idea that the “Fair Tax” isn’t a scam that suckles on the milk of class warfare, undeserving of even being written on toilet paper, that would base our nation’s economy upon the scale of consumer confidence, look hither, and be shamed you wasted your time even thinking it was a good idea.

And to the true believers, tell me why Hawaii and Alaska get a bigger break than the rest of the states without using their respective locations as an excuse.

Stereo Love

Following our seventh wedding anniversary last night, the wife and I decided for dinner today that we’d walk doggies down to the local Subway and eat our sandwiches on the grass in the adjacent park — a very pleasant triangle with a public vineyard and large sun-dappled meadow bordered by tall redwoods. We’re sort of starting on the Jared diet — the wife is jealous of my hospital-induced weight loss, and six-inch subs for lunch & dinner every day helped some friends of ours lose a lot of fat in a short time, so we’ll give it a try. Lazing in the grass with doggies makes it perfect.

This song’s as close to a summer theme as we’ve had in our house. Turn it up, envision lazing on a lawn in the warm sun and enjoy!

Well, That’s Ominous

On a lark, I input the following quote:

These are the times that try men’s souls.

And it told me:

I write like
Bram Stoker

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!


Implication for current events is left as an imaginative exercise for the reader.

Damn Them!

Well, after seeing the commercials and then David’s posts on the flick, The Wife and I are making a date for this weekend to go see “Inception”.

However, sitting in a cramped, dark room, shoulder to shoulder with rude strangers is one of my least favorite activities in the world, so we’re going to the drive-in. A second plus on the drive-in theater viewing is that you get two films for the price of one.

Unfortunately for me, the bastards at the Valley 6 have ruined that part of the evening for me.

I’m still going. But I’ll be getting the best spot close to an exit so I can make my get-a-way quick after the credits are done.

Halbrook and Kilmer on McDonald and What’s Next

I’ll be there Thursday if at all possible. The previous event two years ago with Steven Halbrook and Don Kates discussing Heller was awesome. This should be just as good, if not more so.

If you miss it there should be audio/video available for a small fee a few days later.
