Energy As Far As The Eye Can Sea….

You want an end to the endless chatter about evil “Big Oil” and everything associated with them – speculators, windfall profits tax, peak oil, Haliburton, Bush, Chenney, polution, global warming, Haliburton? It’s a simple solution really:

Novel Energy Production Method + Abundant Source of Fuel for NEPM = Energy Crisis… Solved!

Too bad it has to mess up the Olympics. Oh well, no one really cares about that anyway, do they? And, of course, the solution is only temporary. Sooner or later, you’d start hearing about how the algae has been, gasp – genetically modified -Â the enviro-loons will flail their arms and accuse humanity of throwing the algae’s ecosystem dangerously out of balance, and, inevitably, they will start kavetching about “Big Algae”…

What's Wrong With America, pt….. OMG, I Can't Count That High!!!

… Just Kidding. I don’t think there is that much wrong with America, but sometimes you do have to wonder. We’re in the middle of an energy crisis caused by soaring fuel prices. And because of concerns that CO2 induced Global Warming is going to destroy the planet (oh no!), everyone is demanding that we switch to cleaner energy producing technologies such as wind power and solar. So just when the evil energy industrial complex are finally motivated to start actually building solar power plants to supply our ever growing energy needs, AND save the planet (good P.R.), along comes the Bureau of Land Management to put the kabash on the whole thing – over environmental concerns! Yep, our government at work folks!

PS: Welcome Instapundit readers. Have a look around, and enjoy my own personal brand of mediocrity!

Hat Tip: Digg.

We Are The Champions, My Friends….

The Fresno State baseball team just won the College World Series… Awesome!!!! I didn’t realize this is the first national title won by a Fresno State mens team (the womens softball team won the world series about ten years ago… before I had a blog).

Steve Detwiler is a STUD. The outfielder has been playing with a torn ligament in his left thumb, and has been hitting the CRAP out of the ball throughout the world series. Fresno won the final game by 6 runs, and Detwiler drove in ALL SIX RUNS!!! How do you do that with a torn ligament in your thumb? He is scheduled to have it fixed this summer, but with the way he hit during the world series, would you want to get it fixed?

Congrats Bulldogs!!!!

High School Reunion VS. San Diego Gig.

OK. Here’s the deal. I need to decide if I should do one or the other.

I have an opportunity to play a gig with my San Diego band RareForm on July 26, but this is the same day as my 25th high school reunion. I have said I am going to go. There are a few people I would like to see…
BUT

I may do the gig instead. You see, I was meek, a loner in high school. I spent a lot of time with my older sister and her friends. I had some good friends, but was never very close to anyone in high school – never had the super-best-friend-forever type thing. I was very introverted. Dan, the drummer of Rareform probably remembers how reserved I was when I first moved to San Diego in 1984. Amplify that by eleven, and that was me in high school. High school wasn’t really all that bad, but they were definitely not (thank god) the best years of my life. People did like me because I was a good diver, and I could imitate birds, seals, dogs and frogs, the latter providing the basis of the self anointed “Sonicfrog” title, and providing countless variations of the “frog” nomenclature as a nickname. But because of that unique talent, I felt a bit like a freak. OK. Not a freak, but not normal. Plus I didn’t have many girlfriends, as I was wrestling with the gay thing (I won.. I think). Anyway, I did get to hang with a lot of different people a nerd like me would normally not have had access to; the jocks, the stoners, the pretty people, etc…

But I never felt like I fit in anywhere. And though I have grown to be, learned to be, or maybe just pretend to be, outgoing and extroverted, sometimes that isolated feeling still lingers. Funny how you never quite escape the demons of your youth.

I went to both the 15 year reunion and the 100 year Lemoore High anniversary . In each case I did see some old friends, which was nice. But I still didn’t connect with anyone. The highlight of the 15 year thing was watching David Arrant getting smashed and falling off a bar stool. But after a while, at both events, it just got boring. It reminded me of how things used to be, how I used to be. Maybe it will be different this time. Who knows.

Meanwhile, my band in San Diego might as well be family. They are not only great musical foils to my bass and vocal hackery, but they are great people – I love being around them. I love to play music with these guys, and I haven’t been able to do that much because of the student teaching thing. Oh, I will get paid for the gig, but will have to shell out a hundred smacks for the reunion.

So, the question is – do I Reunion, or do I Gig?

Seperated At Birth…

Zany Fictional Flash Gordon Scientist Hans Zarkov, and ZanyBarely Non-Fictionan Aura Reading, Global Warming Scientist Tom Chalko:

Â Â

PS. In case you missed it, here is the reason Crazy Global Warming Scientist Guy is in the news today. More here and here. And just in case you think I’m exaggerating when I say he’s crazy, he believes that Global Warming is heating the Earth’s core and will cause it to Explode. I hope I don’t have to take the time to explain why this is just absolutely nuts.

Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Gore, Part 3,462,789

Â Last year, it was pointed out that Al Gore, the Global Warming Guru, was an energy hog. He said that he was in the process of install green tech throughout his house, so things be right with the world next year. Well, it’s next year… and you guessed it – he is consuming MORE energy, 10% more, than last year, according to the TCPR. Gore’s spokeswoman had this explanation:

“…the renovations werenâ€™t complete until November, so itâ€™s a bit early to be attempting before-and-after comparisons. In addition, the Gores participate in the Nashville Electric Serviceâ€™s Green Power Switch Program, which allows them to buy their electricity from renewable sources like wind power, solar power or methane gas from landfills (the houseâ€™s 33 solar panels only supply 4 percent of its power needs, per Kreider.) So any energy they burn wonâ€™t be burning them a bigger carbon footprint.”

OK. So Gore used bunches of energy, and much of it was “clean”. But if he used all this extra energy, that energy was not available for other folks to use, so they had to use the “UNCLEAN” stuff, because Gore used up the “clean” supply. What ever happened to conservation? It doesn’t matter what kind of energy he used, he used way way too much to ever taken seriously as an environmentalist.Â This is sooo stupid! Did Al Gore hire a P.R. lackey from the Bush administration?
