Your EPA at work! Ya just gotta love em!

Make no mistake. What Obama and his group might miss in their crusade to ‘Transform America’, their friends at the EPA will be sure to catch. Yes, the EPA whose initials may someday stand for ‘Ever Present Assholes’ are at it again. This time they are overseeing the closing down of towns like Glen Lyn, … Continue reading »

The crumbling of America from the inside.

Even while America continues to prosecute a war that has gone on for over a decade at a cost of trillions of dollars, our crumbling internal infrastructure is now accelerating at a record pace. It seems no matter where you travel in the US these days; the signs of decay and disrepair are evident. Crumbling … Continue reading »

You just gotta love California and her energy saving ways!

California must be an energy Mecca of some type. The chosen land of all things green and energy efficient. Now Jerry Brown has upped the ante even more by recently signing into law that enacts the nation’s toughest renewable energy mandate, requiring utilities to draw 33% of their power from solar panels, windmills and other … Continue reading »

Gas at $10 a gallon. The reality of what that would mean.

Should some really bad things happen to our oil supply, then the price of gas could go into the upper stratosphere at some point. America has made it official policy to ignore the exploitation of its own reserves in favor of getting it from people who basically hate both us and our lifestyle. I think … Continue reading »

Obama’s secret weapon against rising gas prices!

When gasoline soars to $8 and more across this great land please be assured that our President has a secret plan. A plan not unlike Adolf Hitler and his ‘super weapons’ or Wunderwaffen near the close of WWII. Yes, rumor has it that our Anointed One, in conjunction with the ever efficient Department of Energy, … Continue reading »

Using blankets over windows in the wintertime! Is it worth it?

While think-tanking back in November of last year over a few bottles of beer, I came up with the idea of covering my sliding glass doors with large bedspreads to aid in keeping out the cold (see A Blanket Experiment). I am now prepared to report on my preliminary findings for the month of December … Continue reading »

Using space heaters to save on heating costs.

If you’re a person that hates paying high electric bills, then the later fall months are the best in that regard. I’ve been able to go for half of September and all of October so far with both the AC and furnace turned off. For those occasional cool mornings, I’ve bought a couple of space … Continue reading »

China and her aircraft killer missile program.

Now why would a country of 1.3 billion people, the vast majority of which live at a subsistence level, want to develop a missile that could take down a US aircraft carrier from 900 miles away? Hmm? A move that, if true, will change the current defense posture of the US. A country that, like … Continue reading »

America and Her Back-Assward Energy Policy

Excuse my poor use of the English language, but sometimes it helps me to be expressive even if it is at the expense of grammatical correctness. It’s just that, like so many other fellow citizens I’ve become more and more exasperated with the recent conduct of certain men and women in positions of power. Politicians … Continue reading »
