The Mining and “energy” companies say that by actually protecting our kids and neighbors from further toxic disasters… somehow is BAD for our schools. Like in Texas, where the kiddo’s can’t go out to the recreation yard (damn, that sounds … Continue reading

Judging the New Yorker by its cover

There are two qualities about the New Yorker I find irresistible though I’m loath to praise any part of the established press. No matter how suddenly forthright or honorable their editorial might appear, it’s only a feint. The Grey Lady … Continue reading

So this Right Wing Wanker is claiming to have provoked a police assault on Occupy in DC.

And it appears he actually did so. In his words, to bring condemnation on the protesters. But since most of the people pepper-sprayed weren’t protesters, this Wanker is actually claiming to have incited a riot, for political gain, in which … Continue reading

Denver and Dallas: Smog Kings

Actually Ozone. But I hear the same whiny complaint from both, complying with air standards would be too costly. Leaving aside that exempting SUV’s from emissions limits because they’re “work” vehicles, leads a lot of grossly immature “status seeker” to … Continue reading

Autism and Mercury

So they “laid that myth to rest”, right? Actually, no. The entire focus of Autism in re Toxic Metals got sidetracked onto vaccines with a mercury preservative. Which, some pointed out, CONTAINED FAR LESS MERCURY THAN THE AMOUNT PRESENTLY IN … Continue reading

I just THOUGHT it was another Columbine..

So, on the same day Pueblo County decided not to allow concealed handguns on Campus… (why would anybody even consider such a jackass move in the first place? Is America in a Downward I.Q. Spiral of some sort?) (Concealed Carry … Continue reading

America the Beautiful is NOT a Hymn.

Bite me. What got me onto this, of course the very Anglo-American persecution of their fellow Americans, including and especially American Indians, like the Ward Churchill (metaphoric) Lynching… But after I published the bit about Malaysian students being forced to … Continue reading
