Again, my apologies for the light posting. Between the holiday events and shipping our Marine recruit off to boot camp we have been swamped. And I have been extremely demoralized with the idiocy coming out of the extreme right. We have major national issues at hand and some people have just lost all perspective on […]

Updated I tell you what, the conservative movement is now totally destroyed. Some idiot running for RNC chairman took a sweet child’s song and twisted it into an ugly, racist, turd of supposed humor: The sending of a Christmas greeting by Chip Saltsman to the members of the Republican National Committee that includes a recording […]

  Yeah, this DC-area, born and raised native roots for the Redskins, but his heart is with the Miami Dolphins. My grandmother (maternal) got me into football accidentally – by buying NFL stuff for me on birthdays and Christmas. Just happens she was a snowbird living in Pompano Beach, FL. And at that time Miami […]

Two things have been happening over the last decade that cannot be ignored by real scientists: The CO2 levels have been rising and the global temperatures have been falling. This puts the lie to the Global Warming Chicken Little Priests in the Church of Al Gore/IPCC (who use mysticism to trump science). And now even […]

Background Over 25 years ago I was blissfully soaking up science in college while trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. I was (and still am) totally taken by science. All science. Thus the conundrum – which field to major in? I ended up on the engineering side because, simply put, […]

A lot of people are scratching their heads over the current economic downturn, but it really should not be a mystery. I myself have been waiting for it to begin for decades. The inevitable contraction has been exacerbated by really bad, leftist economic policy decisions instantiated over many years. These decisions are the hallmark of those who […]

Merry Christmas to all from the Strata-Sphere! We hope everyone has a joyous and wonderful Christmas, and we thank you all for the time you spend visiting and commenting here. May we have a wonderful 2009! And a Semper Fi to our own Marine recruit who is heading off to boot camp and will be […]

Boy, whatever happened between Team Blagojevich and Team Obama regarding Obama’s old senate seat it must be pretty damning, given the amount of 3rd grade word parsing contained in the Obama Whitewash Report. I mean the damn thing is incoherent and self contradicting! For example: The President-Elect had no contact or communication with Governor Blagojevich […]

Updates Below The next lame attempt by TEAM Obama to address its contacts with TEAM Blagojevich is due out this afternoon. And from the preliminary reporting I can see we are in for another round of lame Clintoneque word parsing. VP-Elect Joe Biden stepped into the spotlight today to give his pre-spin spin: “I don’t […]

America is not ready to reject Obama yet, but the Blagojevich scandal sure has set the stage for a serious erosion in support for the agent of “change”: Twelve percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday say Obama aides did something illegal, with another 36 percent feeling Obama aides didn’t […]
