The Church of Climate Change has spent the last decade stomping on capitalism and shouting from the rooftops about how we are destroying the planet.
The oceans are rising, crops are failing and life as we know is ending … but wait, it hasn’t happened. In fact, some studies show just the opposite is occuring. Yet, Al Gore still demands we kneel at his altar and give our liberty as...

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

When did it become bad to be good?
A Dallas high-school basketball team wants to forfeit because they played TOO well? What the hell?
Texas girls hoops team seeks forfeit of 100-0 win
This is another sign that we as a society are headed the way of the dinosaurs.

Politicians Really are DUMB!
I try to be pragmatic about politics. I believe most (not all) politicians enter politics because they are unable to find success in the private sectors. I am defining success as their ability to tell other people what to do. As pragmatic as I am, I was taken aback by the bill introduced by Rep. Jose E. Serrano [NY-16], on January 6, 2009. In H.J.RES.5 he proposes repealing the twenty-second...

After, listening to the talking heads on the TV this morning,I decided to take a look at Ford Motor Company. I chose Ford, becuase I absolutely LOVE the new Shelby GT500 KR Mustang. I would hate to mot be able to get one in a couple of years when I can afford it.

x64 - I love to hate it
I find it EXTREMELY irritating that hardly anyone supports the x64 architecture. My main PC is Vista Ultimate x64 and it really seems like everytime I find something cool … today it was Xbox Friends Watch sidebar gadget … it never seems to work … this sucks!
