Nobody ever could have predicted that the upper limit of hypocrisy could continue to find new heights: The wingnut brigade is very slow to signup to theWebb/Hagel GI Bill revision (Warner is also a co-sponsor) But they are lining up to make sure that soldiers cannot buy Playboys at the PX. No words.

I’m not sure what to say

But I think I understand it now.   It was funny.  I laughed, not out loud, but sort of like when you burp a little but not enough to have to let it out.  It festered around in my gut for a half second and then it passed.  Now this entire, Hottest Blogger Vote has run […]

Is it a coincidence that republican/conservative bloggers on DL, and elsewhere, keep pumping up Hillary Clinton’s candidacy? I think not. Obama is not only running against both Clintons, he’s running against the GOP as well. Hillary supporters pay attention. The dark side loves you. The reason they haven’t attacked you has nothing to do with […]

My Energy Conservation Score (ECS) is 380

Filed in National by on April 24, 2008 17 Comments

Lower is better and the average score in the US is 325, so I basically am a polluting bastard. (I blame Delaware’s crappy planning and my air-travel 3 times per year) My carbon output is 16.8 but I’m not sure what that means other than the fact that I should be truing to knock that […]
