Toyota – The New GM

Once again we all see what giant egos and greed can do.  Toyota today halted the sale and production of eight of its cars, after recalling 2.3 million a week or so ago, for gas pedal problems.  At first it tried to deny problems with its accelerator pedals, pushing the blame off on “faulty floor […]

Happy Anniversary, Mr. Obama

Scott Brown has blown out your candles.  With both houses on your side, you have got nothing done in your first year!  This all means one thing, the people do not want what you are forcing upon them. It is time to put an end to the frivolous spending, the ramrod politics and your apparent […]

Late Night (Civil) Wars

A satisfactory outcome would be for Leno and O’Brien to ditch NBC and go somewhere else.  That would be a good blow to the joke that is the GE\NBC\Comcast regime.  I don’t watch either of them – Ferguson puts them both to shame – but if I were them I would be thinking what good […]

Stickin’ It To Ya

The rest of America is going to be paying for any future Nebraskan that goes on Medicaid, from now until the end of time.  How, oh how, do we get stuck with this?  This garbage is so dirty, these sellouts so shallow.  There’s at least one part of my tax increase.  Louisiana is of course […]

Super-Earth

It would be so cool to find some sort of primitive life on one of those planets.  How amazing would it be if we are not the only planet with life?  I do not believe that we are, but to find another place with even the simplest of life forms… wow.  I can only fantasize […]

Props Where Props Are Due

Panasonic.  In decades I have never had a bad product from them.  I have to wonder how that is possible.  They make so many different types of products and yet everything they make is top notch.   The funny thing is, when people hear Panasonic, they really would not think of it as a top brand.  […]

AIC – Last Of My Kind

Desert landscape.  Look to the sky. 4:10 To the left a storm approaches.  Spastic lightening.  Brooding clouds, gray and red in the setting sun. 4:40 To the right a buzzard circles.  Sets its target and begins descent. 4:48 Buzzard rips warm flesh from bone and gets his fill. 5:30 Buzzard flies off into darkening clouds.
