BMW’s Hydrogen Car Cleans The Air as You Drive
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 03 Jun 2008 11:56 PM EDT
What if your car consumed carbon monoxide instead of spewing it out? Just such a vehicle was unveiled at last month’s SAE Congress in Detroit, which showcased some exciting green trends in the automotive industry. BMW stole the spotlight with its hydrogen-powered 7-series sedan that emits less carbon monoxide than is present in its environment. More>>>
Which is the World's Best Watery Paradise?

Banyan Tree Seychelles The best view of the Indian Ocean is arguably from the pool at Banyan Tree Seychelles. The real question for visitors is: which pool? The main pool's cliffside infinity edge, pictured here, certainly impresses, as does its accompanying bar and its fresh-fruit libations. But each villa also comes with its own private pool for added seclusion, and added dilemma, when it comes to choosing where you'd like to be pampered. Gallery>>>

Remember the kid that 'teased' the tiger out in San Francisco and the tiger jumped the fence, hunted him down, killed him, and then went after his buddies? Well it just so happens he was a little high and intoxicated when he decided to play stupid with the tiger. Simply amazing huh? More>>>

Rev. Pfleger: "America is the Greatest Sin Against God"
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 03 Jun 2008 03:21 PM EDT
Obama, of course, resigned from Trinity on Friday, saying he didn't want to be held accountable for every word spoken from the pulpit at the church, and he didn't want the church to continue to have the media disrupting its worship. The last straw may have been Pfleger's mocking of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, from the pulpit in this same sermon. But Obama's relationship with Pfleger -- who is the priest at a different, Catholic, church -- spans decades.

Czech President's "Inconvenient Challenge" to Al Gore
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 03 Jun 2008 02:07 PM EDT
Since leaving office, former Vice-President Al Gore has gained enormous stature within certain circles on the world scene, acquiring it per the standard liberal formula. Taking up his “Earth in the Balance” cause, he produced the feature length movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” which is replete with fantastic prophesies of doom for the planet unless America immediately regresses to third-world squalor. An insipid and unsubstantiated piece of propaganda, Gore’s movie would never have resonated beyond the boundaries of a few egg-headed film festivals, were it not for the concerted efforts of virtually every liberal and socialist special interest known to mankind. Coming to his aid, they collectively proclaimed “An Inconvenient Truth” to be at once the scientific equivalent of Einstein’s theory of relativity, packaged in cinematic genius that eclipses ''Ben Hur.''

Ten Worst Gifts to Buy a Woman
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 03 Jun 2008 11:01 AM EDT
1. Never give a woman any kind of household appliance or something that is going to make “housework” easier. For instance, a blender, a toaster, a new vacuum, one of those mops they advertise on tv that does everything but suck the life out of you, anything in a informercial. The only wise choice is a new washing machine with a turbo spin cycle. (Makes laundry day go by pretty fast when you can at least sit on it during spin-dry and end up smiling the rest of the day.)

Max Zupanovic is listed as "Max Supernova" in Middletown Area High School's yearbook. William and Elizabeth Givler's last name is "Giver" in the book, and Cameron Bendgen's last name was changed to "Bandage." Student council member Kathy Carbaugh became "Kathy Airbag." And Alessandra Ippolito isn't sure what to think after seeing a caption listing her as "Alexandria Impolite." "It was kind of funny, but kind of rude at the same time," Ippolito said. More>>>
Adams: Fourth Letter to a Secular Nation
by

on Tue 03 Jun 2008 04:30 AM EDT
One of the toughest things about reading Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation is deciding when he is expressing total ignorance as opposed to total dishonesty. When he accuses Christians of spending more energy “opposing abortion than fighting genocide” I lean towards the latter explanation. More>>>

Che Guevara: Assassin and Bumbler
by

on Tue 03 Jun 2008 04:20 AM EDT
They say Lewis Carroll was a serious dope fiend, his mind totally scrambled on opium, when he concocted "Alice in Wonderland." A place where the sentence comes first and the verdict afterward, where people who protest the madness are sentenced to death themselves – what lunacy! If only Carroll had lived a bit longer. If only he'd visited Cuba in 1959 when every paper from the New York Times to the London Observer – when every pundit from Walter Lippman to Ed Murrow, every author from Jean Paul Sartre to Norman Mailer, every TV host from Jack Paar to Ed Sullivan were touting the judicial outrages, mass larceny and firing-squad orgies instituted by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara as the most glorious events since VJ day.

Shanghai Stock Lesson

If U.S. stock investors think they're in pain, cast an eye to China, where the Shanghai market dropped 7% in May and 35% year-to-date as of Friday's close. And the government is making it harder for the market to get back on track. The China Securities Regulatory Commission warned mutual fund managers Thursday to be mindful of "stability" when making investment decisions, meaning they shouldn't sell too aggressively into a falling market More>>>
ABC's Tapper Lampoons Messianic Portraiture of Obama

on Tue 03 Jun 2008 12:27 AM EDT
Just as a quick follow-up to both Terry Trippany and Warner Todd Huston's posts, at least one major political reporter is chagrined by the MSM's penchant for selecting photographs of Sen. Barack Obama that make him appear rather, um, messianic. From Jake Tapper's Political Punch blog at ABCNews.com: There is Born to You This Day in the City of Chicago a Savior... More>>>

Cap and Spend
by

on Tue 03 Jun 2008 12:21 AM EDT
As the Senate opens debate on its mammoth carbon regulation program this week, the phrase of the hour is "cap and trade." This sounds innocuous enough. But anyone who looks at the legislative details will quickly see that a better description is cap and spend. This is easily the largest income redistribution scheme since the income tax. More>>>
Daschle: McCain Sought to Join Democrats
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 03 Jun 2008 12:05 AM EDT
Russert asked, “John McCain almost became a Democrat?” Daschle answered: “Never a Democrat, but an independent. He was so angry at the way he was treated and the problems he had with the Bush administration in 2001, Tim, that he came to us and said, ‘Look, I’m seriously considering becoming an independent and caucusing with you. Let’s talk about it.’ And we did.” “Aligning himself with the Democrats in the Senate?” Russert asked. “Exactly,” Daschle replied. More>>> |
