With All This Turmoil - I'm Watching The Olympics 2008-04-10 07:57:00 yeah, yeah I know another lame post - but I'm still living in boxes and waiting for the furniture truck to come. Suddenly a post seemed like a good idea to kill some time.I am definitely watching the Olympics
this year - I have a feeling shit is going to hit the fan over in Beijing this summer. Don't know what form it will take yet - protests, terrorist acts or maybe even kidnapping:What I'm really waiting for is China to get caught trying to cover up some sort of unrest when the whole world is watching.

California Quake in 30 Years - No Kidding! 2008-04-15 07:17:00 Stop if you heard this one: California
is heading for a huge earthquake....in 30 years. While I do not doubt that the Golden State will someday slide into the Pacific, hopefully taking the Lindsay Lohans and Paris Hiltons of the world with it, but excuse me if I scoff at the prediction made by the scientific community as both alarmist and useless. Alarmist because as I already know, scientists publish these scary headlines because it helps with funding. Useless because the time frame is too big and vague to be useful.As a New Englander I was scared back in the 1980's when a catastrophic earthquake was predicted in my area within 20 years. And there was a precedent for this: the 1755 Cape Ann quake was one of the largest on record (and only weeks after the famous Lisbon quake) - if an earth Read more:Quake

Global Food Crisis on the Horizon 2008-04-14 07:18:00 This is not the first time I've posted on food shortages, and judging from this video it won't be my last either. In fact I've been ranting about this for a few years now and some agree, but some of my more affluent fellow Americans think it's not a big deal, or that I'm not shopping in the right place.Think back a couple of years - how much has your favorite pizza gone up in price? I know it has to be at least a dollar more, now that cheese has more than doubled since then. And how about if you want your pizza delivered? You don't think they've been adding a surcharge to compensate for the gas prices?You know that by the time this stuff reached the news outlets, it's already a full-blown issue. Just look how long it took CNN and the others to start making the weak dollar a news story-you Read more:Global

Polygamist Sect Members - Sheep Led Astray 2008-04-16 07:06:00 Maybe it's the new bunker but I'm just not that Angry these days. But I did want to put my 2 cents in the Polygamist Sect controversy. Need any more proof that people are sheep?Do these women ever wonder why their husbands can dress like the rest of us, but they have to dress like Little House on the Prarie? Where in the Bible does it say "Thou shalt be meek and humble to thy husband and thou shalt wear but-ugly dresses in the face of modern trends"?What I want to know is where do these guys find these kinds of women? I cannot imagine a couple of tough Boston broads meekly accepting to be part of some geeky white guy's harem. And I suppose the fact that they are marrying girls too young to know any better answers my own question.And while I'm on the topic of sects and cults - Why don't we Read more:Sheep

Maldives Hopes You Take EarthDay Seriously 2008-04-22 07:23:00 Readers probably already know my view on the environment/Earth Day: The Earth does not need saving - WE DO! That being said the tiny archipelago nation of the Maldives
are getting a new meaning to the term Waterfront Property and are pleading with the world to take global climate change seriously.Well, considering that I want to visit the Maldives someday, I suppose I should get on the Green Bandwagon and start living sustainable. Some great websites are emerging to help us help ourselves - besides since I started recycling I've noticed I'm throwing out much less, which is a very good thing when you have to pay by the trash bag for removal!

Food Hoarding in the USA? 2008-04-25 08:30:00 Is this story the beginning of what could be a scary future for America? Are we soon to be a nation that has to wait in line for food? Well I may be a little alarmist but when the big wholesale stores start limiting how much rice you can buy, I think it's time to start stockpiling the canned goods - while you still can.A few generations ago, the American public were strong, determined and hardy enough to weather this kind of storm - hell they survived the Great Depression, the DustBowl and WWII one after another. Today our nation of fat people, medicated, hyperactive kids and seniors that cannot afford their pills would not be able to withstand such calamities.This ain't your grandma's America - the only thing our America knows how to do in a crisis is to sue somebody or push the reset but
Give Paul Pierce a Break! 2008-04-30 08:01:00 Oh no! Celtics star Paul Pierce
threw up a "Gang Sign" a couple of night's ago and now the world is up in arms. Now even if it was a gand sign, which it may have been, that does not mean "Truth" is a gangmember. And just how far have the PC police gone that you can't even try to intimidate your opponent on the court or playing field? What if Paul Pierce just went with the good old fashioned middle finger - that's not a gang sign but still conveys a powerful message. And I bet it would still be a front page story.For me it's an uproar in the wrong place - Paul Pierce isn't going to kill anybody, especially after being stabbed 11 times a few years back by a gangmember. And now the Sheep think that because the Celtics star made a gesture all these high school basketball kids are going to turn Read more:Break

Matt Laurer - Burning Gas Around the World 2008-05-01 06:33:00 Hey remember last week when NBC was "going green" and telling us how to live without wasting energy or burning fossil fuels? What a difference a week makes - now that they have relaunched "Where in the World
is Matt Laurer?" and are dragging the host across the world in a haze of jet fuel emissions.Not only is NBC (owned by GE) making itself the world's biggest hypocrite when it comes to the environment, they are sending Matt Laurer in the LEAST fuel efficient manner in order to keep the viewers guessing. Each stop is about as far away as possible from the last visit - didn't we just hear that the airlines are buckling under the price of jet fuel? These corporations have a lot of nerve telling us we have to save the environment when Matt Laurer and his crew can spend millions and waste unc Read more:Burning
Burmese Junta Has Nothing To Fear 2008-05-09 07:32:00 So the Myanmar Junta
is taking all the food in the wake of the cyclone disaster...is anyone surprised? And what is going to happen next? Now that the Burmese people will suffer even more than they have already. The secretive generals in charge are taking all the supplies flown in from the UN and from the few countries allowed in - and now the food is going to stop.I recall the sham of Iraq's Oil for Food program and how that program was being abused by the then Iraqi government. Wasn't that one of the reasons for invading? So where is the UN security force or the Coalition of the Willing ready to go into Myanmar to topple the Junta?In an age where "rogue states" are in the news all the time from occupied Iraq to sanctioned Iran and North Korea, Myanmar is ignored because they are so reclus Read more:Nothing
Can You Afford Gas? 2008-05-13 06:09:00 Maybe in my lifetime I will see a switch back to sail power and horses. Then again, what will I feed my horse now that all the corn and grain is being used to make ethanol? Funny isn't it? I bet the Aliens are laughing up there watching us turn our food into fuel, all the while loosing the capacity to feed ourselves. It's hilarious to me that our species goes to these counter-productive measures j
Loss of the Landline Phone 2008-05-15 07:46:00 Count me among the growing number of people that no longer have a landline telephone. Why? No reason other than I'm sick of paying two phone bills. But that does not mean I want landline phones to go away - I think we are always going to need a phone around connected to a wire, especially since Cellphone reception is still sucky in many places.Besides, if they get rid of all the landline phones, t Read more:Landline
