The Supreme Court today did the right thing and reaffirmed that the Right to Bear Arms is a personal Right, not some collectivist group think crap that certain folks on the Left think it is. Finally. Now, let’s roll back some of these anti-gun laws.

Like always, uber-hypocrite Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said that because of the Supreme Court’s ruling, the country will be less safe. Keep in mind Feinstein has a California Concealed Weapons Permit, yes, a gun, that she keeps on her at all times because she said that if someone wanted to take her out, she’d take “that bastard” out with her.

Now, doesn’t that sound like something that I would say? Sure does. Amazing how someone could be that hypocritical. Well, what do you expect from the anti-gun crowd? They have no respect for our Constitution.

We have a serious energy crisis, my friends. Now is not the time to point fingers but the time to take action. It’s time we started taking Solar Energy seriously. Get the ball rolling. Start putting out massive Solar Power projects.

It’s not just about the environment any more. It’s about slavery. Do we want to be slaves to foreign oil? No. $400 billion over 40 years is chump change. It’s less than we spend on farm subsidies and much less than we’d spend on foreign wars because of oil. If I had my fingers on the budget, I guarantee you I could cut $10 billion a year in pork, easily.

If you want to hear more about what I’m talking about, read the January 2008 issue of Scientific American. It has all the details, and shows that your energy bill will actually go down, not up. Plus, we won’t have to worry about foreign oil at all.

Imagine, telling the Middle East where they can stick their oil. Following the plan detailed in Scientific American, we can ditch foreign oil altogether.

Did you see the market today? The Dow dropped around 350 points. Why? Because of the price of oil. We need to kick this crack habit.

As for extra drilling here, no. Why not? Because there really isn’t that much. Certain lobbies would like you to believe it’s the greenie meanies who are holding us back but in reality, it’s the scientists. They know it’s not enough to be even worthwhile.

Solar on the other hand is limitless. Twenty years ago, I would have dismissed this concept as a bad joke but technology changes. Solar has grown leaps and bounds in the past decade and has become not only a lot more efficient, but much cheaper, and will continue to be more efficient and cheaper. Unlike oil, there’s an unlimited supply. Well, I take that back. We only have five billion years left of it.

I’m proud of this last shot. No, I do not have a telephoto lens. I was really this close to the squirrel. By request, I’m going to start posting more pictures that I took.

Brazilian Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the world’s highest paid model and sixteenth richest woman (according to Forbes), blames parents and not the fashion industry for eating disorders.

Huh? Is she saying that it’s the parents’ job to raise their children? That’s strange.  I was under the impression that parents are only supposed to breed them, then leave them, and let the government raise the children.

I don’t get it.  I’m really busy.  I work 40 hours a week, and when I get home, I don’t want to spend time with my kid.  Let the government and the schools work on his self-esteem.  I just want to watch t.v.

Geez.  The next thing you know, parents might even have to monitor the movies their kids watch and the music they listen to.  I’m too busy for that.  Let the government do that.  She’s telling us we need to be responsible for our gonads? Come on.  Let the taxpayers pick up the bill.

How could someone actually have the audacity to say a parent should parent their children? Doesn’t she know how busy we are? I bet she doesn’t even have children.  If she did, she’d think otherwise.

I had this satire already written, but this morning I found out George Carlin passed on.  It’s a shame.  He will be missed.  My favorite comedians of all-time in order are Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Bill Hicks, George Carlin,  Sam Kineson, Bill Cosby, and Rodney Dangerfield.  It sucks only three of them are still alive.  My condolences go out to his loved ones.  Carlin has made me laugh many, many times.

Representative Dennis Kucinich has called for a Bush impeachment. What I don’t get is why isn’t this bigger news?

Should Bush be impeached? My honest answer is I don’t know, but as far as I know, I’m more leaning towards a yes. We’re in a war because of lies in Iraq. We know that now. I fully support the War in Afghanistan, as you know. I want Osama bin Laden’s head on a pike on the White House lawn. But bin Laden is NOT in Iraq and has never been there. He’s either in Afghanistan or Pakistan, and because we’re wasting our time in Iraq, he’s still on the loose. If we had put 100% of our efforts into capturing bin Laden, we’d have him by now.

What’s worse is 4100 Americans are now dead. I’m hearing that morale there is horrible, and a disgustingly high rate of soldiers are on Prozac. WTF!

I’d like to hear more about the impeachment resolution, but apparently it’s a non-issue to our media. So maybe it’s up to us bloggers to discuss it further.

Agree or disagree with Bush’s impeachment, I’d love to hear why you feel the way you do. My personal opinion is he’s been not only an economic disaster, but he’s betrayed our beloved Constitution as well. He’s been horrible to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments. Yes, he’s been bad for the 2nd Amendment too. That’s not a misprint.

Of course economics has nothing to do with the impeachment, I just threw that in there because today’s economy sucks and I’m pissed off about it. The real reason he may be impeached is because of lying about the Iraq War. I got friends there and of course they’re doing a great job serving our wonderful nation, but they should be killing bin Laden’s followers instead of wasting our time in Iraq.

UPDATE: Thanks, Laura. I’ve read them now, and these Articles I most strongly agree with. I’d now like to see him impeached. Won’t happen though, because the Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, are a bunch of pussies who would rather play politics than do the right thing. Like I told Laura, Nancy Pelosi is so full of political b.s. that I can practically smell her letters before I read them. (I regularly correspond with local politicians).

I’m with the Mac laptop at an internet cafe.  I have my pictures on the home computer, so I’ll post them later.

My boss’s boss said I work too hard and told me to take some vacation, so I’ve been taking a lot this year.  Some days, I’ll just take a day or two off and do nothing.  Some days, I’ll go somewhere with the family.  I’ve taken equivalent to three weeks so far this year and will take another two weeks worth before the year is over.

My wife has been saying the same thing.  I’m just a hard working guy.  I came from a different Class and sometimes I feel like I’m playing catch up with everyone else around here.

We talk Race to death in this country, but contrary to popular opinion, there are huge differences in Classes and when you leave your Class, you notice it.

So with my boss’s boss, my wife, and even my Doctor saying I need to work less and relax more, I’m realizing I should shut up and listen for once.  It’s been nice.  I’ll have some pics, and I’ll post them later.

I really should remember to bring the camera every place I go.  You’re missing out on what should be some really nice pictures.  California is gorgeous, and for those of you who have never been, definitely come visit.  Those of you who live here already I hope you get outside and appreciate it.

I was at a coffee shop yesterday with two other bloggers and I came across a Newspeak article written by some Indian (dot, not feather) guy about how America is on a decline and will be passed up. He goes off on America, saying that it’s no longer a good place to live, how Americans are unhappy, and a bunch of other crap. We just sighed and dismissed his nonsense.

For his American unhappiness, he uses a figure that 81% of Americans don’t like the way America is headed. Huh? Can you be a little bit specific? I don’t like the way this country is headed, but there’s not one other country in the world I’d rather be (and yes, I’ve been to plenty). OK, I’ll admit, I’d rather be vacationing back in the Caribbean right now, but to live, that’s what I meant.

For one thing, this guy is seriously biting the hand that feeds. India would be just another run of the mill third world country had it not been for America. You know this. The whole world knows this. But his head is too far up his ass to admit it, apparently.

Then he brags about Bollywood being bigger than Hollywood. So what! Let me get something straight. NOBODY in the world other than Indians watch the crap that comes out of Bollywood. The only reason it’s bigger is because there are 1.1 billion Indians in India alone. Their middle class alone is bigger than the entire United States’ population. Of course Bollywood is bigger. That still doesn’t change the fact that their movies suck.

United States, England, Japan, France, Spain, Italy, and Mexico all produce good film. I’m not too crazy about Hong Kong film, as I think it’s overblown, but it’s also considerably better than Bollywood film. Not saying much.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not anti-Indian. I’m just anti-this guy. Being in Software, of course I have close friends who are Indian.

I get defensive of my country. That’s how I am. Sure, we make mistakes. Our current President is corrupt and not very intelligent. The President before that may have been a sociopath. The one before that is the guy who taught the current President how to be corrupt. Yet, America chugs on. A President, no matter how bad, can only do so much damage.

So, I’m betting on America. I’m putting my money where my mouth is. When the Dow dipped below 12k, I went all out straight up Dow. Say what you will about America, but we’ll see who’s laughing in 10 years.

America leads the world in inventions. Still. Japan is #2. NO ONE else is even close. The #3 spot is a joke, and so unworthy I won’t even mention them.

America leads the world in Nanotechnology and also Biotech, two markets which will be huge in the near future. The amazing thing about those numbers is in both categories, America leads every other country in the world combined. Yes, that is not a misprint.

Doubters talk all day about the rise of China and India. I’m not worried. China is Communist, and we all know how Communism punishes the strong and rewards mediocrity. The Chinese have had a long history of being innovative people. This generation’s innovative Chinese have been run over by tanks, or are keeping their mouths shut because they don’t want to rock the boat.

India on the other hand never had a history of innovation. It’s not in their culture. They make excellent workers, but innovation? No. Their schools teach how to be employees, but not how to create. Copy? Sure. Create? No.

Europe has had better days. They’ll rise again, sure. But too many Europeans are obsessed with both political correctness and Socialism, two things that will cripple them and hold them back from achieving their utmost potential.

Don’t believe me? Fine. Think of the ten coolest things invented in the past 50 years. Bet at least nine on your list would be invented by America or Japan.

As for Japan, they’re our best friends. I’m not worried about competing with them, because of all our allies, besides Canada and the Thais, they’re probably my favorite.

Now Latin America on the other hand, I really see a strong future and America is making a HUGE mistake by trading too much with China and not enough with Latin America. If I were running this country, I wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

So if you think America is doomed, fine. Sell all your American stock. Get rid of all your American dollars. Invest elsewhere. Just don’t cry to me if you see everyone else get rich investing in America.
