What ifs Again - Can We Just Move on Hillary

By justisengard 0 Comments
Categories: Politics and Rant

You know, this article may have just hit me the wrong way, bit I had to say something. Senator Hillary Clinton, you lost, get over it! I mean come on how many times do we have to hear ‘what of’ scenarios of how things might have been if this or that did or did not happen. The simple fact is, we live in the here and now, and lets move forward.

Iowa Without Edwards

I do not want to hear for the next several weeks about how Clinton might have done this or that, or how Edwards took votes away from her, etc, etc. Just as I do not want to hear about how Nader cost Gore or Kerry the election. Gore and Kerry cost Gore and Kerry the election for not talking about issues. …but that is another topic…

Jesse Helms Dies

By justisengard 1 Comment
Categories: Politics

Former Senator Jesse Helms, who built a career along the fault lines of racial politics and battled liberals, Communists and the occasional fellow Republican during 30 conservative years in Congress, died on the Fourth of July. He was 86. (API know many people across the country are celebrating. Jesse Helms created some passionate enemies in his life. I cannot say that I am one of them though. I disagreed with him on most of his positions, but I did have a keen respect for the man. No matter what you thought of his ideology or his political positions, no one could say that Jesse Helms did not stand on his principles. In my opinion, that is something sorely missing from American politics. Too many American politicians cannot make a decision without taking a poll to determine which way the political winds are blowing. You never had to be worried about Helms doing that, he made decisions based on his principles and stuck with them. Even when they were not popular.

Asian Space Race

By justisengard 0 Comments
Categories: Politics and Science

It would seem from the article (First Moon Picture Back from China’s Chang’e Probe) that everybody in Asia is in a space race.

Already, an Asian space race is well in gear, with Japan’s moon probe a
few weeks ahead of Chang’e in lunar orbit, an Indian probe planned, and
a South Korean lunar exploration project announced just last week.

So when we all going to come together under one multi-national space agency and invent warp drive?

Bush/Cheney 08 Bumper Sticker

Saw this on digg, and posted on Jacoblog.

Bush-Cheney 08 Bumper StickerI wonder if it would surprise us (Americans) if this actually happened. We have all stood by and let do jst about everything else. I remember back in high school reading about McCarthyism back in the 50s and thinking to myself, how did the people back them just sit back and let all this happen. I am certain that our children will be asking the same questions about the George W. Bush Administration.

When will the US Government agencies actually represent its people and their interests rather than the interests of big business and corporate profits? How much longer are we going to put up with this?

justisengard dugg this:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has decided to abandon net neutrality and allow telecoms companies to charge websites for access.

Munition DumpingWonder what this is doing to all the seafood that we are eating, much less those swimming in the ocean.

justisengard dugg this:

“The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels.”

The Daily Show catches Tony Snow Lying

By justisengard4digg 0 Comments

Daily Show - Tony SnowAmazing! It is amazing on several counts.

1) Is Jon Stewart the only person in the country with the balls to reporting this on a regular basis? He hosts a comedy show, not a news show, but the Daily Show is the best place to actually get news. We have 24 hour news networks, but it is the Daily Show that reports it. This is ridiculous!
2) Tony Snow lies. So what?!? Does it actually present Tony Snow with a problem? Does anyone, but Jon Stewart hold him accountable? It is looked at as funny…amusing. What does this say about Americans? ‘Our government’, not Mr. Bush’s government blatantly lies to us, and what happens - nothing. We laugh for a minute, and then go about our business. What does it take?
3) Tony Snow lies, no. It is not just Tony Snow, it is the entire administration.

What will our children say in twenty years when they look back on this?

Bill O’Reilly: Explosions In Iraq Don’t Mean Anything

By justisengard4digg 0 Comments
Categories: Politics, Rant and dugg

What an idiot! It amazes me that intelligent Americans actually listen to this man. Maybe someone should read him the definition of journalism from the dictionary. Not that actual journalism is in big supply in this country anymore. If you comment on anything the Bush Administration, excuse me, Bush’s government, does - you are helping the terrorist. Maybe Court Jester Bill and Emperor Bush should read the First Amendment.

justisengard dugg this:

AUDIO: Today on his radio show, Bill O’Reilly defended his lack of Iraq war coverage, stating, “CNN and MSNBC are actually helping the terrorists by reporting useless explosions. Do you care if another bomb went off in Tikrit? Does it mean anything? No! It doesn’t mean anything.”

Myth: Corn Ethanol is Great

By justisengard4digg 2 Comments
Categories: OMG and Politics

[youtube]j9QQcP_Y1II[/youtube]Check this out. It takes more energy and resources to produce ethanol than it makes. One fact that is very revealing.  If we turned all the corn produced in the USA to ethanol, it would only produce enough to fuel 12% of US automobiles.
The underlying reasons for all this comes out in the end when the politicians, just seem to loose all coherent thought and understanding of the English language, and just repeat, “Ethanol is good for America’ no matter the evidence presented.  And, guess what, as always, there is some powerful corporation that stands to benefit from this illogic - ADM. (sigh)
