Aren't the penguins lovely this year?

As I told you in previous posts - I am worried for our country and its'/our future. But, as I said then, not for the same reasons most people are. Yes, I have severe worries about our economy. It pains me greatly to see the current government abandon the policies that have made this country great to adopt the failed system of socialism. But, that is not the point of this post. I just read where an "eminent British economist" said that we were doomed. "Why?", you might ask. Because IF the global warming continues (he missed the memo about how the earth has cooled over the past decade), IF the average global temperature rises 6 - 8 degree Fahrenheit, and IF the ice caps have significant melting (he missed that memo too - the Antarctic cap is thickening, but...), THEN there COULD be a massive migration of people the likes of which we have never seen. This would cause massive and extensive world wars as countries that were not too hot turned away those people from those that were too hot. News flash - IF aliens come down tomorrow, IF they have the weapons to destroy the earth, THEN we COULD all die! IF the lower primates somehow get the knowledge to build an atom bomb, THEN we could all die as well. What really amazes me about all these doom and gloom global warming/climate change types is that the one thing they all have in common is the need for the wealthy countries of the world (ESPECIALLY the U.S.A.) to give lots and lots of money to them and their cohorts. We also need to give money to the countries that stand to be all desert or underwater if the seas rise massively and the rain/weather patterns change drastically. Our money is always the answer along with us changing our entire way of life. If we just eat vegetarian, ride bicycles, and wear hemp clothing - all will be well. (AFTER we have given all our money to the poor countries - or actually to people who say THEY will give it to them - no worries) If you care for the U.S.A and its' future, along with the future of the planet - do NOT let the doom and gloom, global warming/climate change nuts mandate CO2 emissions or anything else. An interesting thought - Except for what has been put here by meteorites and such striking the earth, all the carbon here on earth has been here since the earth cranked up. Physics tell us that we don't get rid of a thing, we just change its' state. The evil carbon we are releasing into the atmosphere, at some time was there. Trees sequester carbon. The ocean captures and RELEASES more carbon in a year than mankind has in our pitiful existence (that is not a scientific statement, it is based in fact - but not meant to be an actual accounting of the carbon sequestration of the oceans) IF there is global warming, or cooling for that matter. Any of mankind's actions (short of setting off a couple of large nukes) are NOT the cause. Study this yourself. I have done hours and hours of study on this subject. If you get by those with their hands out for money - this is a no brainer. The earth has been MUCH hotter than it is today (and without internal combustion engines around). The earth has been MUCH cooler than it is today. (without the Kyoto protocols). I have several posts on this blog with references. Google - global warming myth or similar and see what you get. Now, I will admit, some of those sites have axes to grind as well. But, if you study - I think you will agree with me. If you don't want to study - just take my word for it. Call, write, or scream at your elected officials and tell them NOT to take away our prosperity for a non-existent problem. Later, gotta go check on the banana trees in the backyard.

While I love penguins as much as the next person (except for my sister who thinks they are useless!!) I don't think all the ice will melt away and leave them homeless. If global warming really is a problem, then why is it so damn cold?! Also, I tend to think that maybe the weather patterns and warming (or no warming) is all part of God's big plan for us. If we just put more faith in God and stop trying to figure everything out then we could fix important things like our economy. But socialism is not that answer, at all!! A month in office and Obama has made nothing better!! What happened to the promise of change!! I think I need my own blog to answer that one!

Who's got gas?

Here is another thing that is bothering me - I am tired of people whining about gas prices. Gas was never free!! When people whine about "$40 to fill my tank" they forget that even at $2 a gallon it was $25 or so to fill it!! Here are some numbers: The average car in the U.S. is driven about 12,000 miles a year. If you get 20 MPG (hey if you are driving a Hummer, getting 10, I don't want to hear it!) That is 600 gallons of gas a year. Most people would be estatic if gas was at $2 a gallon again -SO, that is about $600 a year (for the extra $1 a gallon) or $11.54 a week. Now I know there are a LOT of folks that were struggling to pay the $2, but the average person I know was not. Here is another way to look at it. How many Starbuck's coffees or lattes have you had lately at $$37.33 a gallon? ($3.50 for a 12 oz one) How about a beer on an airplane at $53.33 a gallon? ($5 per) Then there is bottled water at $10.66 a gallon. ($1 a 12oz bottle -and it can be MUCH higher...

Fame is Fleeting and some bug stuff

Well I am writing this from the scene of one of my latest moments of glory - the Comfort Suites in Colonial Heights, Va. For those of you that do not take notes of all my achievements - that was the hotel where I was (drum roll please - ) Guest of the Day about a month ago. I drove up (and parked in the Platinum Elite member space - I might add) gathered my goodies and headed in. I thought of pulling a hat down over my head and putting my collar up to hide from the photographers and autograph fans, but I had no hat and the crowds just were not really a problem. I ambled to the front desk and it was the same girl! Surely here the recognition would reign! But as I approached her I glanced to the reader board - the same reader board that not so long ago was praising me as Guest of the Day! I staggered a bit under the realization that there was another name on MY sign! Then it hit me - Guest of the Day! I had lived my glorious 24 hours and now it was time to move on. OH WOE IS ME. I curse ...
