Mother Nature’s Environmental Consequences

So have the eco-hippies officially lost it when they start talking about the environmental impact of a natural process of mother nature?

What’s next, pollution control measures for volcanoes? Coming up with a way to stop the genocide of the bunnies by the wolves?

If you look closely at the “damage” done to the environment, it comes down to the pretty plants being replaced in some areas by less pretty, hardier plants. Don’t we support natural selection any more? Seriously though, why does it always come back to being pretty? You know what this is going to lead to: anorexic weeds.

Clinton’s Hand In The Fortune Cookie Jar

Yet again, the Clinton’s caught receiving illegal campaign contributions from Chinese people. Off the top of my head, this is the third time they’ve been caught doing this. I’m not sure which is scarier – the abundance of the illegal contributions, or the common Chinese thread.

Oh well, at least its all for a good cause: the first female President milestone is certainly worth overlooking a few several improprieties.

Qualcomm Stadium vs. The Super Dome

Interesting piece comparing two stadiums filled with people from natural disasters. One was filled with blood, rapes, and stabbings (which turned out to not have actually happened) and the other is filled with happy people and rock concerts?

Will FEMA and Bush get credit here? Does it come down to a competent mayor or perhaps the Gov-inator? Things to ponder…

Surge Success Continues

Violence continues to go down in Iraq. Now down another 70% from the already lower rates in July. The security over the entire country is remarkably improved. To put things in perspective the civilian deaths amidst a war zone have fallen to 38% BELOW the murder rate in the United States. That’s right, more people are murdered here than are dying in the war in Iraq.

But don’t worry, the media will ignore most such stories as good news = no news.

“One item from Baghdad today. The news is… that there is no news. The police told us that, to their knowledge, there were no major acts of violence. Attacks are down in Baghdad and today no bombings or roadside explosions were reported.” – Charlie Gibson World News Tonight on ABC Oct 17th.

Jon Stewart v. Chris Matthews

Found this at NeuralGraffiti.com.  The interview is hysterical, because Jon just won’t let it go… I have said this before but I love that Stewart while is a Dem and a Lib, he will still call people out when they go off the cliff.

The forced laugh from Matthews seem Hillary-esk.  The crux of it shows up when Jon tries to point out that the book favors winning over doing the right thing – Matthews corrects that winning IS the right thing to do.
