#OccupyWallSt has given us some memorable images, but arguably none more memorable than these:
#OccupyWallSt has made a list of demands. Some are simply ridiculous but some have merit- specifically the concerns over the cost of education and money’s involvement in politics. The problem is that the numbskulls in the #OWS movement are so self-obsessed that all of their efforts are way off target. They place themselves in Zucotti Park and somewhere in UC Davis and aspire to shut down the harbor in Portland. Continue reading
As I am sure many of you have read Michael Avery, a professor from Suffolk University Law School not only balked at the idea of sending care packages to military men and women overseas in active duty, he took it a step further when he said in part:
“I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings.”
He wrote this in response to a campus wide email soliciting holiday care packages. When you look at Mr. Avery’s academic background, it is easy to see why he has this twisted view of the world. Continue reading
Brzezinski, the designated bleeding heart liberal on Morning Joe, lost touch with sanity following New Gingrich’s advice for the OWS protesters. Gingrich said
“Go get a job right after you take a bath.”
Well, that was just more than Brzezinksi could handle.

Occupy Portland attendee: “F__ the police…The police are a government-run gang; they’re there to protect the hidden political interests of the politicians, period.”
Nancy Pelosi: “but the truth is what I said. I’m a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it …but they have this conscience thing” Continue reading
It comes to YOU and I when we complain about our electric bill or gas bill….yet we choose not to buy a piddly 600w wind turbine off ebay which would cut your bill in half. We complain about pollution, and big oil, and gas prices….as we get into our new car and drive it to the oil company feeding grounds called, gas stations. We complain about banks having too much money…then we ask them for loans-not to buy an electric car or solar panels or to start a business, but for an iPad.
It’s time to stand up and remind ourselves that, The Show Must Go On. No more whining about this or that. Get up, and go do what needs to be done. Continue reading
Dutch fall out of love with windmills
Towering over the waves of the North Sea like an army of giants, blades whipping through the wind, the turbines were the country’s best hope to curb carbon emissions and meet growing demand for electricity.
The 36 turbines — each one the height of a 30-storey building — produce enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 100,000 households each year.
We have all heard lately about the “supercommittee,” its charge, and, if it isn’t successful, pulling the spending “trigger.” Defense has the most to lose from triggered cuts, as this source illustrates. Leon Panetta, head of the Department of Defense (DOD) and no bastion of conservatism, called the trigger “draconian” and “devastating” and said that it will “hollow out” the military. The worst thing, Panetta said, is that the cuts “invite aggression.” Continue reading
