I know honey, he's bumm'n us out too.

Honey, I'll bet your dad is a swell guy.  But while he yanks you around to all these events to choke down  fried chicken and potato salad that set in the sun since 2, hardly anyone knows who he is.  I mean the race just started and he's already miles behind a women who has gotten out of more straight jackets than Houdini and a Mormon who thinks his sons campaigning for him is equivalent to serving in Iraq.  Jeepers honey, Ron Paul is ahead of him.  If the snowbillie shows up he will have to follow her too, and honey, there's one thing about sled dogs, if you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.  Maybe he'll quit before next summer, at least you can hope.  I bet your brother would like that too, and big sis, she don't look like she's into it either.  Good luck.

Is wind energy a danger? I'm rethinking it.

Nancy mice, were all on the treadmill and know not where it goes

OK, I shared an apartment years ago in Baltimore with a gay ex-priest, nutten happened so get your minds out of the gutter.  We had a lot of fun, it was great, he used to photo my girlfriends nude, he had a nice camera.   I helped with the lights, I liked it, I liked it a lot.  He did a little of this for wanna-be models, he liked his camera, the girls liked the photos which I assume they used in their pursuit of modeling work.  Not what I wanted to write about although I could launch a 20 pager on it.

The national laboratory released a study on BPA, the chemicals in most plastic.  Boy mice exposed to it pay less attention to girl mice, and while other boy mice do the dance of ultimate cognition with the girl mice, they don't seem to care.
The fruit cocktail of chemicals we are exposed to is not within our bodies ability to deal with.  These things are impacting us in ways we cannot fully understand, some of societies pains may be due to this cocktail making us aggressive or stupid or who knows what.   Lawn chemicals cause cancer in kids, deck and wood treatments cause cancer in pets and kids, round-up causes birth defects, lining on cans was outlawed for health reasons in Europe and Japan while the industry here crys don't do it we have no other coating without it you eat squatting around a mud puddle then you die.

I'm just saying, there are ways to avoid this crap.  I stopped spraying around the house this year, and we are seeing fewer bugs than ever.  I use some organic stuff a few times on ants.  On the yard this year instead of fertalizer I used corn gluten, it also stops seeds from sprouting so we aren't spraying for weeds either.  We buy mostly fresh produce, stay off plastic, so far, I still like those girls pictures from Baltimore.  No, I will not post them.

Remembering a friend who didn't like her job interview

Years ago I had a friend who applied for a gardener's job at the local university.  At last, a call, an appointment, the interview.

Arriving on campus she discovered the convoluted parking restrictions, and so had to park a fair distance off and run through the campus lawns to make it on time.  Hustling into the building she spotted the office and was ushered instantly into the interviewers tiny cramped office.  As soon as the door shut, she was repulsed by oder.  The room reeked, and the lady scowled at her unpleasantly from the start.  My friend lost interest in the job and this women she faced within a few minutes, working for her, reporting to her in the stinking office she wedged herself into sounded like the worst job in the world.  How could the women live like this, didn't she ever bathe.  Within a few minutes it was over and she sadly walked out, a job she wanted of working outside on a beautiful campus, dead.  Back to the car.

Shut the car door, turn the key, fire up the radio and, wow, what the hell, that same stinking smell of shit.  Open the door and jump out, and there on the soul of her shoe, stuck into the tread and curled up on the sides, a champion size dog doo.  Somewhere in the lawn she raced over to that appointment the miasma had lay in wait for her

Stranger still, a couple of years later she got the job.  I guess no matter the offense, clearing the air helps.

Listen to the green dragon and you will burn in hell

I dig around in foreign news sites pretty often, many stories and views do not appear in the US media.  Censorship or ignorance?  A few days back I found a story about a minister in England who wants you to pollute for God.  He has a good sized following, and a couple of US ministers have picked up his sermons and are headed down the same rat hole.
Green Dragons.  That's right, green dragons are the enemy of religion, so stealthy that bible toten Christian's everywhere are unaware, some are even doing the Dragons evil work.  So this dipwad is going to lead them to safety.

Dominion.  Early in the book of Genesis, God grants man dominion over all resources, and directs him to use them and multiply.  The zealot in England claims that the movement to clean up the planet, conserve fuels, restrict pollutants, restore the environment, sustainable production, any and all of these are direct blaspheme.  The green movement is the most serious attack on the word of the Lord there has ever been, attacking the first directive of the Bible.  He claims anything we can get at must be used, dug up, burned, consumed, eaten, manufactured, thrown out.  God wants it so.  Do otherwise and you deserve hell.

Ok, I'm going out to burn the trash in the driveway.  Can you make the case for this view of Genesis?  Do you think the fossil fuel industry is about to find Jesus?

Bernie knows when rats are in the kitchen



Oh, they have something to say about the EPA too, and consumer protection, and tax rates. The Koch's are a full service corporation.
