Bah! No eBooks for me until I can stroll into my local public library, or better yet, download from the library site at home. I already carry a bag of some sort almost everywhere I go so a dead tree book can go along with me in place of some extra-cost/yet-another-electronic-device/theif magnet.

Well, well, well. It seems as though the mob grows restless. I've heard it said conservatives are so narrow minded that their ears touch and I've heard liberals are so open minded their brains have dropped out. I think most of us are too frightened to hear things that challenge us in our comfort zones. Sarah Palin says we need to look out for ourselves, quit depending on the Gubmint, and stiffen our backs with a little pride in America. What's wrong with that? The only people I hear trying to suppress speech in America are folks like Clyburn who want to shut the likes of Beck and Limbaugh down. Franken and Air America were dismal failures because no one wants top hear all the vitriol from Rhodes, etc. I listen a little to both sides of the story -- mostly to keep tabs on both sides. Seems it would make for a more intelligent poplulace if we all do so. It's just not smart politics to let either side have too much control. Notice all the states and cities controlled by Democrats have massive debt that may go into default? Just my 2 cents.

I say bullshit! There's evidence that Mars is also warming. No man made CO2 there-- so what does that say? It says Heightened-Solar-Activity. All beyond our control, Climate always changes one way or another. In the 70s the scientists all said we were going to be freezing our asses off at this point in time. Now that several fat cats, ie Al Gore,(the Grand Poopah) are positioned to make BILLIONS on carbon credit trading. Go figure. Cap and trade will cost us dearly. No evidence in the 70s and none now.

And maybe it will be Dirty Harry Reid -- for doing the same thing: opens mouth, inserts both feet and falls on his ass. Check this out http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/03/news/companies/insurance_stocks/?postversion=2008100308 He and others of his ilk are mostly to blame for the mess we're in now. We ought to fire all of our congress critters and pull names out of the phone book. Probably get more for our tax dollars then.
