Father of Global Warming Scam says “it’s too late to save the planet – enjoy life while you can”. And the old coot is right. NASA’s own nutcake, Jim Hansen gave us 18 months to do something about his pet … Continue reading →

This is an actual video of a United States Congressman questioning an Admiral of the U.S. Navy. Now I realize that Admirals have little else to do with their time, but assuring a congressman that Guam will not “capsize if … Continue reading →

Retired IB’r sends along this link. Good! Now you can blame this guy for ruining the Greenwich real estate market! The bastard!

No indictment for cop who tasered 4-foot eleven, 72-year old lady during traffic stop. Tasers don’t give cops an alternative to lethal force; rather, they allow these thugs and bullies a new avenue in which to exercise their sadism. Keep … Continue reading →

Getting supplies to Afghanistan – it ain’t easy. I’m pretty sure that the general who oversaw the same operation in the first Gulf war was hired later by Sears to get their own delivery system in order. Great training, no … Continue reading →

Here’s another house coming on unchanged after a 2006 purchase. It was bought then for $1.725, listed earlier this year for $1.875 and dropped today to $1.750. I’m pretty sure the most recent sale on Hearthstone was around $1.4 million, … Continue reading →

The house of Edd Hendee, that exceptional young man killed in a skiing accident this winter, is up for sale today, listed at $1.995 million (they paid just over $2 for it in 2006). That was an accident that made every … Continue reading →

Study: Toads can detect early signs of earthquakes.
