“I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these...”
– John McCain in 2000 while Bush was spreading lies about his family. Truer words never spoken from a man now running 100% negative TV ads. What the fuck happened to McCain (I thik the cancer has spread to the brain)

Fires, Drug Raids, and Budget Deficits
I spent the last week out on the central Californian coast (San Jose/Monterey areas). The area was gorgeous, but California is coming off its driest spring in decades, so looks can be deceiving. Up and down California there are dozens of wild fires ravaging the state and the exhausted local fire crews are turning to the National Guard and foreign firefighters (Mexicans, Canadians, and even...

A very interesting article showing the inability of conservatives to wrap their heads around fundamental principals of science. At times these proceedings remind me of that scene in Monty Python In Search of the Holy Grail where they are about to burn the witch. “I got better.”

Seems to be part of SOP for Mr. Clark, who pulled a gun on an 18 year old at fa highschool fight.

I understand there is a lot nuance to politics and I respect politicians who evolve their positions given changes in the world and new facts that come to light. However, changing positions on so many fundamental matters that you were ‘for’ just weeks ago tells me one of two things: you are that senile old man that can’t remember what he had for breakfast or you are such an unashamed...

I thought you had to bomb a country back into the Stone Age to make it a fertile ground for freedom and liberty. I’ve been seriously mislead on this matter.

Go Vote!
My cousin is in an online competition for free wedding photography. http://dittmerphotography.blogspot.com/2008/05/photography-giveaway-vote-here.html My cousin is Laura Reinsvold and her fiance is Leon. They were getting beat pretty badly, but that was before the Reinsvold Juggernaut was mobilized. They are within about 8% now and voting ends on Sunday. Help put them over the edge. My...
Another argument to maintain biodiversity →
Conservation International estimates a different species goes extinct every 20 minutes. These numbers could be grossly exaggerated, but it speaks to the point that earth is slowly losing its healthy biodiversity. For me, maintaining biodiversity isn’t some hippy-drum-circle aspiration. It is completely self serving and in the interest of human advancement. What if, out there in the...

Resolution against Uranium=Bad Wording? →
Every other city council in Northern Colorado unanimously voted against the proposed uranium mining in Nunn, but our Monfort pawn/security guard, opps, I mean mayor, thought the wording was troubling. Well Mayor Clark, vote against protecting our natural aquifers, but at least explain yourself.

Why bother importing your buzz?
I’ve made a personal choice and I encourage anyone else who reads this (that includes both of you) to purchase and consume alcohol that originates only from these United States. From this point on, I will strive to garner all of my buzzes; be it from wine, beer, whiskey, even gin, from the honest labors of American industry. Prohibition disassembled our once proud alcohol industry to the...
