After looking at some of the online video of various town hall meetings on health care this summer, my assessment of most politicians was given a healthy reinforcement. Most of them are just arrogant, useless, blood-sucking gladhanders who've forgotten why they were elected in the first place, and who only want to continue to receive congressional perquisites and salaries.
And we keep voting the morons in.

Will They Ever Stop Whining
An article in msnbc (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32782444/) explains how Muslims are uncomfortable about the 9-11 anniversary this year -- again. They fear "backlash", and this fear increases every 9-11.
They just need to move on.
We're expected to get past 9-11-01, right? It's in the past, right? Not all Muslims are terrorists, right? Okay, I am willing to accept this. But are we not supposed to be vigilant, or apprehensive, particularly after 6 imams are arrested (this is currently in civil litigation) in an airport after disrupting the passenger loading process of a jet in 2006? Oh, or maybe the small matter of four Muslims being arrested and charged for plotting to destroy JFK airport in 2007 is something I should "put behind" me.
So strident, frequent and predictable is the whining of the Muslim leadership that there was once a joke going around that "Muslim leaders fear backlash over tomorrow's terrorist attack." These followers of the great warrior prophet Mohammed should "cowboy up" and get past it themselves.
So, sorry about your "backlash" fears, people, but as Americans are constantly lectured about the reason for the 9-11 attacks: you brought this upon yourselves.

Well, It's Proven: Big Industry caused Global Warming
First, I have to admit I'm not a very good blogger. I usually let something seethe and ferment in my mind for days or weeks before writing my opinions. By then, the moment is passed. Okay, I've said it. Now I can go on.
A couple of weeks ago, I read an article online in either the San Francisco Chronicle or the NY Times about some research that showed global warming directly correlated to the Industrial Age in the 1850s. Something to do with measuring industrial age pollution against the rise in temperature - at least whatever this researcher considered the appropriate period to monitor for temperature changes.
So there you have it: cum hoc ergo propter hoc. From the first firing of the steam engine, big business doomed us.
Tut, tut, shhh...nothing else matters. The argument is over.
