I Was Right All Along...

News from the UN today...

Cut back on your meat intake to curb global warming!

More than 18 percent of greenhouse gases released come from the meat industry.

Compare that with 13 percent for transportation (including all the cars on the road).

So if you want to really have an impact, go veg! Drive around all you want!

This is the main reason I switched to a vegetarian lifestyle a few years ago.

Eating meat the way most Americans do nowadays is simply not sustainable in the long run.

But you don't have to go all the way and forsake meat forever to make a difference.

Just cut back!

In 1950, we ate 144 pounds of meat per person each year.

In 2007, we were up to 222 pounds per person!

Do you really need to eat all that meat? Guess what else has gone up since the 1950's? Cancer. Heart disease. Global warming.

Come on people! Get a clue!

Bullshit!

No more lies

Here is the truth.

Take from the rich and give to the worthless!

Those Lying Conservatives!

Since my fellow blogger Firefighter frequently claims that liberals lie, I thought I'd post an article I found about conservatives who lie.

Forbes Magazine picked apart some of the lies told by Republicans at their convention last night.

Among the most interesting was the often heard argument that Democrats will raise taxes while Republicans won't.

According to Forbes, an independent think tank studied both the McCain plan and the Obama plan and concluded that Obama's plan will increase income for middle-income families by 5 percent while McCain's plan only provides a 3 percent increase.

Obama gets the money to do this by raising taxes for people and businesses making more than $250,000 a year.

In McCain's plan, his taxes are across the board, meaning people who make $25,000 a year get taxed the same as people who make $5 million a year.

The Forbes article also points out that conservatives stretched the truth by saying Palin was "responsible" for 20 percent of the nation's energy supply as governor of Alaska, governor of the "largest" state, and responsible for "national" security as commander of the Alaska National Guard. All stretched truths, or in other words, lies.

Wordless Wednesday

We are all going to die!!

Science sucks! In September and again in October, scientists are going to fire up the Hadron Collider in Switzerland. That doesn't sound too dangerous does it, or is it? Some scientist think this LHC machine might create micro black holes. Sounds kind of harmless right? NO. Black holes suck in energy and grow, or they could just evaporate. Either way I am thinking this might just be a bad idea.

What does this mean to the average Joe like me? No need to worry about voting or global warming. For the next month I can go back to using Polystyrene products. My Bible warned me that something like this might happen. The end of time. What better way to destroy the Earth than suck it into another dimension. I only wish I could smack Al Gore in the face and tell him that he wasted his time. We need not worry about saving the planet any longer.

Well guys it was a sweet ride while it lasted, good luck!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland

Concerns have been raised about the safety of the LHC on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the collider might cause disastrous events, including the production of stable micro black holes (mBHs) and strangelets.[9][10] Several CERN-commissioned reports[11][12][13][14][15] and subsequently published research papers[16][17] have corroborated the safety of the LHC particle collisions. One research paper, posted on the web on 10 August 2008, reaches the opposite conclusion, stating that "at the present stage of knowledge there is a definite risk from mBHs production at colliders."[18] The validity of this safety assessment has been disputed.[19]

Bold Move?

Senator McCain picks Gov. Palin? That is a bold move, as Firefighter noted, but bold in a stupid way.

It's as if his advisors sit around trying to copy every move Obama and the Democratic Party make.

"Hey, they had one of those things with boobs and that went well, why don't we do that too?"

Can you think of a more contrived pick? They were banking on picking up votes from people who wanted Hillary Clinton but not everyone voted for her just because she was a woman.

Palin is the polar opposite of Clinton in every way.

And what's worse, they likely picked her so fast with little vetting that they are paying for it now; pregnant teenage daughter, under investigation by the state, who knows what else...

I liked McCain several years ago when he was in the Republican primaries with Bush II. In fact, I voted for him!

But now he comes across as a petty politician who's letting his staff run the show.

He'd have been much better off if he just went out there as himself, made his own decisions, and let people see who he really is rather than letting some bunch of advisors package him up to be something he's not.

One Red Paperclip

I read the story of the one red paperclip a long time ago. My recent effort in trying to find an old fixer upper motorcycle has lead me to read the story again. What a great idea, find something to trade someone else for and keep doing it until you get what you want.

I am going to give it a try. I don't think I am going to get CNN or any other news agency for that matter to cover my trade deals. But it is worth a little effort to get what you want.

All I need to do is find something someone else wants and use Craig's List as the vehicle to getting my motorcycle. Someone somewhere has to have an old motorcycle sitting in the garage that they want to get rid of cheap.

Let the trading begin!!!
