Mr. Bush, are we really safer?
George W. Bush weighs in today about the airline bombing plot that was uncovered in Britain. He says that America is safer now than it was on September 11th, and indicates that it is a "stark reminder that his [Britain] nation is at war with Islamic fascists.".
It also seems that this is a stark reminder that almost 5 years since September 11th that we really aren’t any safer. We are simply dodging bullets and getting lucky enough not → Continue reading “Mr. Bush, are we really safer?”

Current American Idol winner gets more votes than any president in the history of our country has received
Doesn’t this have the flavor of something that you read in the history books that happened during the decline and fall of Rome?

New element found – Bushcronium
Sent to me by Duncan:
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named "Bushcronium."
Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an Atomic mass of 311. These 311 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Bushcronium has no electrons, it is inert. → Continue reading “New element found – Bushcronium”

table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two
judges (Native Texans) that the chili → Continue reading “Chili Cook Off”
Social responsibility above the level of family, or at most of tribe, requires imagination – devotion, loyalty, all the higher virtues – which a man must develop himself; if he has them forced down him, he will vomit them out.
An interesting quote from "Starship Troopers", Robert A. Heinlein 1959. The movie that came out in 1997 seems to have very little in common with the book; an excellent discussion of the true meaning of citizenship and the scarcity of honor and self-sacrifice among the human race.
