Tough luck, Meghan. I’m taken.

So I should take my half century of engineering education and training, starting with measurement and including 30 years working with computers and toss it because some grant suckers and government toadies see money and power in increased control over commerce and our living styles?

The very worst industrial pollution, arguable England in the Killer Smog 50’s, was still healthier than any society without available electricity. Incidentally, are you recycling sanitary napkins?

If a foreign power did to us what our native Green LibLudds have, it would be a Causus Belli.

Saintly might be a better term for tolerating me that long. I only hope she never realizes she could have done better.

My wife told me my inner beauty didn’t come out whth the older picture. My wife wears glasses.

Welfare is when government takes money from you that you have earned, tax breaks are where government lets you keep a bit more of the money you have earned.

Here in my home town of Palo Alto, the LibLudds are throwing a similar tizzy about the return of Dr. Rice to Stanford. My admiration for Dr. Rice was for accomplishment, not gender, race or party. Of course it didn’t hurt that Rice, like Palin, is a stone fox. LibLudds just can’t stand it when someone of their flock ges off the reservation.

Since I saved Charlie Rangel’s life 11/26/50 I have to take partial blame for his sins.

On the other hand, I delivered the Sacramento Union to the California Capitol Bldg in 1944 and formed an opinion of politicians that has not changed since.

I wait with bated breath the avalanch of democrats paying tax on fringies. Pelosi and her planeload of relatives comes to mind.

She should answer every question fully, just as Obama did about his birth certificate , Clinton about his medical record and Teddy about his midnoght swim.

That LoLoLo again. I guess it is the feminist equivalent of Hubba hubba hubba?

Patty cakes, I be a small l libertarian. I diverged from Ron Paul long ago when he trivialized US interest in foreign affairs. There was no way in hell a private company could have been given permission for that pipeline. The alternative, LNG, would have guaranteed a perpetually higher price for the product and an argument about receiving port locations. Forgotten? Sweetie, my memory is so good I even remember things that never happened. Remember Paris???

This libertarian thinks Garafalo [a cross between a giraffe and a buffalo?] is unaware of the impact of high energy prices, the consequence of liberal opposition to energy development, on the working poor who will be helped by Palin’s trans-Canada gas pipeline. That seems a lot more philanthropic than cheap insults and the $8/gallon gas that libs want to stick the working poor with.

Not that there is anything wrong with Lesbians.

Reading was not optionally when I went to school. I have explained earlier I was a republican only long enough to vote for Shirley Temple Black against Pete McCloskey in a primary, and since my IQ is 8 points above that reported for Obama where does that put him, 8 points below a moron? Ind, for your information, shooting fish in a barrel ain’t easy - the refractive index change at the interface makes aiming dificult and the bullets disipate their velocity just a few inches into water.. This lololo - is that a Lesbo love chant?

DM, you are right on. To paraphrase Mr. Bumble in Oliver Twist - “Sir, if the law assumes a parent has control over a 17 year old then the law is an ass.”

Mer, I be from Missouri, came West through the dust bowl to Sacramento in ‘36. I am an equal opportunity critic - I consider much of the world grief to be the fault of two really dumb Presidents - Jimmie Carter and Ike. presidents who made a policy of allowing the 3rd world to unilatteraly cancel agreements without cost.Oddly both cases related to canals.
