How is it that you have so much energy. It’s starting to be the dog days of summer.

I wish someone would put out a good song like Doobie Brothers, ‘What a fool believes’, or Kool and the Gang, ‘Joanna’, or Little Texas, ‘God Bless Texas’, or Michael Jackson, or Cole Porter, or some monster hit that could distract us.

I just saw ‘Cincinnati Kid’ on a netflix DVD. Steve McQueen was great. I think he went to reform school in his youth but I’m sure he died in a layatrill clinic in Mexico. Ann Margaret, Tuesday Weld, hot.

I can’t imagine another time where so many people were bamboozled like they’re being bamboozled by Obama. It reminds me of Harold Hill in the Music Man.

McCain acts like Dana Carvey imitating George H. W. Bush. He reminds me of Buddy Hackett in the Music Man. Shehpoopie.

But at least McCain is a decent guy who’ll make a decent president and represent decent people. I still think he needs comedy writers. He needs something.

o Wind. Dumb. Not enough power density.
o Solar, eats too much space, not enough density.

Final comment…Nuclear fuel comes out of the ground. We refine tons and tons of ore to get a few pounds of usable material…we then consume part of the energy of the material. All we need to do is re-mix the spent fuel with the same tons and tons of ore from which it came and return it to nature…Why is it so hard?

Love your ad for McCain, but it has to be aired in early September when everyone’s back from vacation and focused on the election.

To Cornhead:

Way to go about ANWR in Alaska. McCain won’t do it (don’t know why; he doesn’t have the green vote). If he did, he should also have ads going to the waters off the contiental shelf, to a nuclear reactor site in France, and to Brazil to talk about ecofuels. At each stop, he should tell people the evidence that all of these resources are relatiely safe and effective. And again, these should be run in early September.

Why?

A: This is McCain’s last shot. He doesn’t come with a “due bill.” He can do what’s best for the country; not what’s best for a special interest group.

Barack has a huge due bill. Chicago, the teachers’ unions, other unions, Sierra Club, ACLU and the rest of the Dem coalition want their money. Now. Barack will have to pay.

Why?

They all said reducing poverty is more important.

I like that equation; People over porcupine caribou.

The “we can’t drill our way out of this” is so glib and shallow.

McCain needs to fly to ANWR in August. With TV cameras rolling, he educates the American people that this is *not* the pristine Grand Canyon. He then commits the oil drilled from ANWR to our US Military. So we don’t run out of fuel patrolling MidEastern seas.

Result: A dramatic drop in the spot price of oil. And Election won for McCain.

Common refrain among college professors I’ve talked to. Evidence continues to accumulate that we have failed to educate a whole generation of Americans in the validity of logical/rational thinking. It must be pure torture to teach math to such kids. Apres nous, the Dark Ages.

My wife, an Obama supporter, is always trying to get me to be less cynical. I’m workin’ on it, I truly am. But this is still what you get. God help us all.
