Off-shore Windpower for Ships?
I just came across this interesting little story. It is about a company that is selling giant kites that will be used to augment the propulsion of trans-oceanic freighters. Interestingly, one of the first shipments it delivers will be wind turbine parts. It should reduce fuel consumption by 50% while conditions are optimal.
The War on Christmas: What’s in a Name?
It’s beginning to look a lot like “War on Christmas” time. I have come to the conclusion that we can’t properly execute this war unless we have a name that sounds good on CNN. Who can forget Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, or The War on Terror? I’m looking for a great name that we […]
Putin Arrests Kasparov
Garry Kasparov has been extremely critical of Bush’s soul-brother, Vladimir Putin. Today, Russia arrested Kasparov for staging a rally against Putin. Let’s hope that they release him soon and that it doesn’t give Bush any ideas. Here is Kasparov a few weeks ago on Bill Maher’s show. This is must-see TV. h/t /.
Branson: Vegas on Lithium
Three days in Branson is just enough. I have worried about what I was going to write for the past few days. It would be a lie to say that I loved the visit, but I cannot say that I hated it, either. There is certainly a good deal of stuff to do there, but […]
Plans for DelawareLiberal.Net
Hello kind readers, DelawareLiberal is planning on moving to the next level of blogging in the near term. As you may know, we have used the delawareliberal.net domain name for the past 6 months or so. Currently, that address redirects to delawareliberal.wordpress.com. We have been considering some changes to that system that would free us […]
Remember the Days Before Cookie Monster Went Straight?
I laughed when I saw that the old episodes of Sesame Street (now on DVD) come equipped with a parental warning. Apparently, some of the scenes are too racy for kids today. I tell you, my biggest reservation about Al Gore as a public official is that his wife was so instrumental in creating the […]
Fear and Loathing in MO
Actually, there isn’t much fear, but I am learning to loathe USAirways. We landed in St. Louis on Thursday night. Three-quarters of our luggage landed with us… I have been wearing the same jeans for 3 days now (although my wife washed them last night). This is not fun. We have been spending time with […]
Is the US a Secular Nation?
UPDATE: If you are reading this post you are not in Turkey. Apparently this site is being blocked by their government or someone. We will keep you posted on what we discover…. I was listening to an interview with a Turkish tour guide today. She was asked about the role that Fundamentalist Islam was playing […]
Descending Into Hell
Next week I begin a week vacation with the family out to , MO to visit with Mrs. Geek’s family (Aunt’s, Uncles and Cousins from 1st to infinity). As a part of this trip, we will spend a few days in Branson, MO (AKA Hell). I don’t like either kind of music, country or western. […]
Around the Horn Friday: Escheat Shuffle Edition
I have to say that I am pretty saddened by the whole Lofink story. I remember when Vince won his first election, because one of his sons was a student of mine. I hope that the whole thing works out as fairly as possible. I was pretty happy that with just a few exceptions, the […]
Let’s Hear It For Bush
Let’s all give it up for George Bush. He has now reached levels of disapproval unknown since polling began. He finally beat the record of Tricky Dick during his “Miracle Year.” It was thought to be a record that would stand forever, but Nixon is no match for Bush. We will never misunderestimate you again.
