Vacuum-Cleaner King James Dyson Plans Solar-Powered Car {Switched.com}
Jun 25th 2008 10:24AM Just gotta get in a political jibe, regardless how nonsensical it is. You don't like the idea of electric cars? What about one that could go 100 plus mph for 100 miles? Or, maybe you just don't like anything new?
Calling in sick because of high gas prices? {WalletPop}
Jun 21st 2008 3:31PM Ernesto Evangelista fills up his Nissan Titan with regular gasoline in Miami Beach Fla. He prefers premium gas...
The standard bed Titan has a 28 gal fuel tank. In most areas premium costs 20 cents more than regular. Why would anyone want to pay $5.60 more per tank when auto manufacturers universally say that it is not necessary and adds nothing to performance?
Finally, a powerful bear case for oil prices {BloggingStocks}
May 25th 2008 8:14PM Once oil production begins to diminish it will continue to do so, no matter where or how much we drill. We've discovered the big, easy to drill fields. Those that are left bring little more supply on line and take time to develop. While they are being developed existing field's output is falling. It's now an impossible race to replace falling production, never mind increase production. Your government can't save you; your mothers can't save you. You gotta save yourselves. Conserve; dump your gas guzzlers; turn down the thermostat. Best of all: invest in alternate energy. Put your money where it will give you big returns and provide energy for your life--solar, wind, hydrogen. Or, just sit back and b***h about how unfair life and the Democrats/Republicans are to you and listen to your lives flush down the drain.
Why JPMorgan wants to pay five times more for Bear Stearns {BloggingStocks}
Mar 24th 2008 2:21PM I've watched this deal unfold as well as I could through the mass media, and I am left with a puzzled look on my face when friends suggest that they, and I, will be paying out of our wallets for the government's part in this deal. Though I reply that I've heard that it amounts to no more than a loan, I'm unsure.
Spy Satellites to be Pointed at U.S. Citizens {Switched.com}
Mar 21st 2008 11:17AM Dear Danny, my "@$$" is safe, at least from the terrorist boogymen you see around every corner and under every bed (does that bring to mind the McCarthy idiocy of the 1950's)? If there is danger it is from fools like those in the airline industry who refused during 40 years of airline hijackings to secure the flight deck, and by refusing, literally left the door open to the 9/11 attack. You and your Chicken Little bretheren, running about with one hand covering your head and one covering your "@$$", screaming your fear at the top of your voices, opened the door to the ridiculous, ill planned, ill executed war in Iraq which will eventually end in chaos while losing more thousands of of American lives in Iraq than were lost in New York on 9/11. The money spent in Iraq could be profitable used to advance medical care for children who, through no fault of their own, have no access, instead of blowing up real estate and people in a country that never attacked and never posed a danger to us. People like you, supporting your Ready-Fire-Aim president, supporting whatever violation of our privacy is considered necessary to keep your frenzy of fear at the highest possible level, present the real assault on the American Dream.
Clinton Will Lose Texas {Political Machine Blog}
Mar 12th 2008 10:26AM new2008america, I do not believe in your connection of the candidate with the situation. Oil/gas prices are controlled by the supply situation: we import 2/3's of the oil we use; we, with 5% of the worlds population, use 25% of the oil. No president in four or eight or sixteen years will turn that around. In the ninety's we were in a secular bull market. In 2000 we changed into a secular bear market, and will probably remain there at least four more years. Presidents and Congresses and kings have tried to manage the business cycle for more than 200 years. The best effect has been nothing, the worst, disasters like the 1930's Depression. All three promise better times ahead, but either they lie, or they know no better.
Clinton Will Lose Texas {Political Machine Blog}
Mar 12th 2008 10:17AM FOXYLYNX, the Democratic party made a big error when it assigned null status to Florida's and Michigan's primaries. Florida's primary was moved to an earlier than allowed date by the State of Florida legislature and governor, both of which are Republican controlled. So the Dem's had no say in that, and should not be punished. Michigan is another story. Officials in power from either side are prone to use faulty judgement in setting rules, I think virtually everyone can agree. And the judgement used here was faulty. But the time to change the race rules is before the starting gun, not after. And under the rules, Obama is in the lead and gaining ground. Until the finish line is crossed the result is open, but most agree that Clinton's chances grow slimmer each primary.
Student Faces Expulsion Over Facebook Study Group {Switched.com}
Mar 8th 2008 1:47PM Thirty years of quality control work compells me to observe that, if the class rules do not specifically exclude on-line study groups, then the class rules share responsibility in any actual or perceived violation. If study activities did not take the ethical form or function of cheating, then the only complaint can be that students took an initiative, and that should be commendable, not condemable.

Mar 8th 2008 1:36PM Man, Roger, your post is difficult to read! A little sentence structure and punctuation might help. I have to guess at your meaning, which leaves you open to misinterpretation. Perhaps that is what you intend, but what's the point?
