Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Krauthammer on energy. A quote:

There is no free lunch. Producing energy is going to produce waste. You pick your poison and you find a way to manage it. Want to do something about global warming? How many global-warming activists are willing to say the word nuclear?

So much easier to say ethanol. That it will do farcically little is beside the point. Our debates about oil consumption, energy dependence, and global warming are not meant to be serious. They are meant for show.

OK..

I recognise these two as Bush supporters.

Partly oweing to their obvious personal philosophy that a bird in the hand is worthy of two ...no wait how does that go?

A bird in the bush is worth a..naw

Well anyway.

BUSH SUPPORTERS!

Goodness me, in my salon we consider anything over a David Niven verticle clip as a horror.

Bill Roggio is reporting that the recent assasssination and attacks on US Forces was an Iranian operation.

http://billroggio.com/archives/2007/01/the_karbala_attack_a.php

All the more reason to nuke that country.
#9 Habu on 2007-01-28 10:35 (Reply)
No, I think we have better plans in the works. In fact, I think the covert war against Iran in Iraq has already begun.
#10 BD on 2007-01-28 11:27 (Reply)
Karbala was probably tit/tat for Irbil--the USA's bust of those five (same number) IRG agents a few weeks ago.
