I realize this is becoming like the Sarah Palin blog, but I just couldn’t resist. She’s just so funny. Eat your heart out, Harriet Miers.
Interesting comparison of the economic plans of both candidates.
The Associated Press: Obama and McCain have big economic differences
Under Obama, the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers, those making roughly $600,000 or more, would see their taxes go up on average by $93,709 in 2009, according to an analysis done by the Tax Policy Center, because Obama [...]

CNN picked up the George W. Bush sewage plant story.
Gore’s Bold, Unrealistic Plan to Save the Planet - TIME
But doing it in 10 years? If the earlier, personal solutions to global warming — drive a hybrid, put in better insulation — were far too little, Gore’s goal seems far too much. Less than 28% of our power currently comes from carbon-free sources, and the [...]
Some friends of mine were responsible for putting this on the ballot. It’ll totally pass.
The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco has just recently submitted signatures to city election officials “hoping to place on the ballot an initiative that would rechristen the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.”
makes me a bit nauseous.

Sam Harris posted the results of a poll he conducted exploring the differences in belief between atheists and Christians. A lot of it is not surprising. Some of the more surprising results were things that we agree on.
Atheists tend to think they’re a bit smarter.
Christians tend to think they’re more intuitive.
Thankfully, not many Christians [...]
To me, this sign is very comforting. I mean, no matter how badly I misspell a word from now on, at least I can be comforted that I did not screw up as badly as this woman.
Also a good reason for me to avoid writing signs. At least she didn’t misspell English or America I [...]
Huckabee had some interesting comments on the Huffington Post aboutThe Next Republican Revolution. I think he’s plugging his new book. Still, surprising to hear a Republican saying big government is not necessarily bad government.
Republicans need to be Republicans. The greatest threat to classic Republicanism is not liberalism; it’s this new brand of libertarianism, which is [...]
There’s a celebration in the Castro as I type this because of the California Supreme Court ruling to allow gay marriage. But there’s also a constitutional amendment on the ballot in the fall and I was looking around trying to find out what’s required to pass a constitutional amendment with a voter referendum in California. [...]
I did Barack’s astrological chart.
Name: Barack Obama
August 4 1967
Honolulu, HI
Sun is in 11 Degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at [...]

Ahh, Portishead. Yes, it’s a new album. Yes, it’s good. Yes, it sounds a lot like they’re last/other album.
“Hillary Clinton enthusiastically picked a filly named Eight Belles to win the Kentucky Derby and compared herself to the horse. Eight Belles finished second. The winner was the favorite, Big Brown. Eight Belles collapsed immediately after crossing the finish line, and was euthanized shortly thereafter.”
Wright gave a speech to the NCAAP, it’s actually pretty good. He’s actually a pretty good speaker and even funny sometimes. He speaks four languages. Who knew.
So I was reading the news and there was talk about Wright giving a controversial speech which caused Obama to disavow his comments. Is this it? This can’t be [...]
I love it.
Amazing. Planned obsolescence. 99% of the stuff we produce ends up in a landfill within 6 months. WTF, that’s complete insanity, if not immoral. For every 1 trash can full of stuff we throw away, 70 trash cans full of waste was created to make that stuff. The US has 5% of the world’s population [...]
