There’s a woman who lives across the parking lot from me who has one of those little “box-on-wheels, I’m better than you because I’m saving the planet” cars. I’ve never spoken to her, nor she to me, but when we meet coming or going in the parking lot she always glares up at me. Personally, [...]
Tagged global warming, humor, pointless gestures, wtf?When I was in grade school I had a crush on a girl in my class. She was cute and very sweet and smart and I really, really liked her. Of course, I never said anything to her, although once (in the 6th grade, I think) I brought her a bouquet of flowers I had [...]
Tagged abuse of power, ethics, global warming, lie to me, wtf?I spent the afternoon splitting logs with a maul for my folks. The last time I did that was at least 10 years ago. I’m not feeling too bad right now, but I’m guessing I’ll have a bit of trouble getting out of bed in the morning. I’m not sure how he got it, but [...]

Tagged abuse of power, global warming, green, Nanny State, Science/Technologytjic on whether or not taking drastic measures to stop global warming (and wreck our economy in the process) are worth it: Here’s the consciousness raising exercise I want each of you to do: when you wake up tomorrow, think to yourself “OM*G – what if it was 1.1 ° warmer? Wouldn’t that be horrible? [...]
Tagged Economics, global warming, lie to me, numbers, Politics, wtf?I thought I was done for the night, but this post from Coyote is priceless, as is his postscript, In the language of mathematics (I mentioned before I am in the middle of Goedel-Escher-Bach) if actually aiding someone is “helping,” then I guess organizing people to help is meta helping, and lobbying government to force [...]
Tagged abuse of power, global warming, Nanny State, PoliticsNot much posting lately as I’ve been very busy with work and having a hell of a time wading through all the fallout of the East Anglia emails.

(via the Agitator) A health care reform proposal I actually like from the CEO of Whole Foods. Notice the argument near the end of the piece that health care is not a “right”. [...]
Tagged global warming, health care, Science/TechnologyFollowing on the bit about the crap temperature reports (see previous post), comes this from Oregon State (via Cold Fury, Watts up with that?): CORVALLIS, Ore. – A team of researchers says it has largely put to rest a long debate on the underlying mechanism that has caused periodic ice ages on Earth for the [...]
Tagged global warming, Science/Technology, wtf?I was going to work on an essay this afternoon, but I spent 5 hours trying to get my Linksys router to be recognized by my computer.
