Top Ten Ways the Democratic National Convention Could Be Even Lamer

Taken form imao.us. This is the original post.

TOP TEN WAYS THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION COULD BE EVEN LAMER:

10. Only the most carbon neutral entertainment allowed: Mimes.

9. Every hour they turn on FOX News for two minutes of hate.

8. Second day is all freestyle poetry.

7. Celebratory balloons being dropped on crowd replaced with much more biodegradable dyed hay.

6. Tolerance competitions!

5. To waste less electricity on microphones, all speakers will communicate through sign language.

4. Keynote speaker: Walter Mondale.

3. They announce that the Democrats’ symbol of the donkey is to be replaced with the much more appropriate Queen of the Faeries.

2. All signs must include an Esperanto translation.

And the number one way the Democrat National Convention could be even lamer…

If they hear a single person use “Democrat” as an adjective, the whole thing is called off.

So long since I have written something here…

and please forgive me for this. So many things have happened since my last post here. We have all heard of that polar bears becoming a threatened species even though they are procreating at a faster rate than humans are and their population has been growing for a few decades now. I should hope so anyway, mainly because of the consequences this will likely have on our industries.

What else has happened, oh yes, I got a pocket copy of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence from the Heritage Foundation. I have to be subjected to a bunch of e-mails from them now but it was free so I will not complain. John McCain still has not learned his lesson, he is saying that we need “comprehensive immigration reform” or amnesty, yet again. Why are so many of the politicians unable to figure out that this is now what the people of this country want?

The California State Supreme Court also decided to make up a new right (I previously had “ignore the people” written here) and decided to allow homosexual marriage. What else? I leave for basic training in Chicago, Illinois on June 25, so little time until that date now. There are many things I wish to study, so this is all I will write for now.

My insignificant thoughts on biofuels

First off, I have to wonder why we are growing corn to fuel cars. This makes no sense. I eat corn, I do not understand how putting it in all combustion engines is a good idea. Prices for all crops seem to be going up as the government mandates that more and more ethanol be put into gasoline. Why should a farmer grow things other than corn if the government is willing to pay him to grow corn to put it in an engine? People will starve as the price of all crops goes up because of this.

Secondly, how is using biofuels going to get us away from using oil? Shall we power all of our vehicles on vegetable oil? This just boggles my mind.

Thirdly, it is not efficient to use ethanol. It takes a large amount of energy to mass produce ethanol and it has to be moved by truck or train as it cannot be sent through a pipe like oil can. The mandate that ethanol should be put into gasoline may have been well intentioned but is not a good idea. I shall finish this post by a political cartoon from IBD Editorials. I shall write more on this later.
