Say Anything Blog

When Crude Oil Hit 60 bucks a couple years ago I made the comment that every geologist in the world would be looking in his back yard to find new oil.  And they have.  I said that we’d see Oil Rigs in State parks.  We will.

At a hundred plus bucks a barrel they are gold rush crazy.

Course what goes up has to come down.  I see every day new doom and gloom.  Look here, Gasoline at 10, 20 bucks a gallon.  Oil at 250 a barrel.  Hogwash!

Even if we never came up with direct alternative substitutes (which tens of thousands of independent scientists are hoping to create and get on the market quickly), even if we never converted one ton of Coal to oil, Even if we never processes another grain of Oil Sand we have discovered more Oil than we can possibly burn for the next hundred years.

It’s not easy Oil.  There is no Peak Oil.  That concept is brought to you by the same fearmongers that brought you global warming caused by humans.  There IS peak EASY OIL.

The reality is in the last 24 months there has been HUGE ENORMOUS stashes of oil discoveries worldwide.

But to learn about this you have to do a little work.

Google the term OIL FIND and Pick ANY of the Following Countries or States and you will see.

This isn’t off of them, just the ones it took me 3 minutes to uncover:

Oil Finds

• Brazil
• Cuba
• Dakota
• Alaska
• North Sea
• Kenya
• Sudan
• Nigeria
• China
• Gulf of Mexico (non US)
• Uganda
• Sunni Iraq
• Kurdistan
• Ghana
• Thailand
• Cambodia
• Vietnam
• Norway
• Indonesia
• Australia
• Belize
• India
• Tanzania
• Canada
• Angola
• Libya

Here’s the critical issue in all this.  NONE OF THESE ARE BEING EXPLOITED NOW.  None are yet on line.  They will be, SOON.

All have yet to be developed.  All have yet to be accessed.  We don’t have peak oil, we have peak easy oil. Some will be harder than others. But, I trust that we will figure out how to do even that.

I’m guessing looking at this list you didn’t even know some of those countries were oil producers or had discovered oil in their own territories.

Is there power of the blog?  Can we not stop this abomination of a farm bill that is about to be passed.

It has huge subsidies for ethanol, farm support payments, disaster support payments driven by Conrad and Dorgan.

I know many of us that blog think we make a difference.  But this idiocy has to be stopped.  If we have the power to Get Harriet Miers stopped, immigration bill stopped, then do we have the power to get this bill trimmed back to reality?

I love President Bush’s national defense stands, I hate the way he spends money.

What do we in the Blogosphere need to do to stop this 5 year farm bill?

NOW!  The vote is on Friday NEXT.  Your tax dollars at waste. Again.

We have another Governor heading for Jail in IL. There is a special wing of the prison system where those who have been secretary of state, then governor are upon achieving office are immediately indited and upon leaving office sent to jail.

Since we GOPers in IL are in significant Minority, we thought George Ryan’s real name according to the newscasts was, Republican Governor George Ryan.  They always got that in. 

Now, the worm has turned.  The Dem Gov is about to enter the process.

What party is he and all the people indited with him?  No one knows. It’s all a mystery.  A conundrum. 

Oh, wait, one of Tony Rezco’s buddies, Stewart Lavinie IS a Republican.  A fact that is never missed by the local press.

This in the party of Obama.  iF YOU LIKE SLEAZY POLITICS, VOTE FOR OBAMA.

I love Illinois for many things. Politics is not the best thing we export.

I just looked at the top 23 NFL draft choices. Let’s see if the percentage of Blacks in the USA is about 20% that should mean there are.....

Well you can do the math.

In fact of the 23 top draft picks" 23 top draft picks, five, cinco, funf are of the non African American Persuasion. Proof, click here, and look at the photo gallery.

Racial Quotas, That’s whats needed. The NBA is even more racist. It’s like Jeremiah Wright put the whole thing together.

Now were did I put the Number of EOC? I wonder if they are open on Saturday afternoons? I’m sure they are being government employees.

This is a travesty and a set back to racial harmony. I gotta go, I got a call to make. I’m sure those lawyers at the EOC are unaware of this.

McCain wouldn’t go wrong with Sarah as a VP.

She and her husband just had a new baby boy.  He’s a downs baby.  Sarah sent this email to friends who were offering condolences.

“Many people will express sympathy, but you don’t want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this.” She wrote it in the voice of and signed it as “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”

• Is this because of the unhunted deer populations in the are, easy pickings and lots of cover in forest preserves?
• Are they breeding, I mean if you have a tom and some momma cats and you got kittens, lots of kittens, is this that?
• I have always thought they were pretty reclusive and nocturnal, not much danger to humans, is that changing?
• I know there are plenty now in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Iowa, how far is this going to go?
• There will be press driven paranoia over this, how dangerous is a 150 pound carnivore with sharp claws and teeth anyway?
• Why did it take 20 rounds to down this animal?
• Are all Chicago Cops such bad shots?
• After the Cougar was down, the cops said they couldn’t tell the gender of the animal. HUH?
• Where there’s smoke there’s fire, does this cougar kill mean there are lots of cougars or just a few?
• Shouldn’t we be offing the easy prey, like kill a few hundred thousand field rats (Deer) that stand around and depredate everything in sight and provide food for cougars?
• Who’s in charge of the decisions that are creating this cougarville environment?
• Since it’s practically illegal to shoot a gun in Illinois (you can own one if it’s properly owned with a firearms owner card but you can’t shoot it anywhere) what should I do as an Illinois resident if a cougar takes up my back yard as it’s home? Do you recommend a slingshot to take on a cougar?
• Should I be bringing Muffin and Skipper in from outside at night so they don’t become Cougar Lunch?
• If it gets bad enough, do cougars make good house pets?
• Are cougars good to eat? They eat cats in Korea why not cougars in the USA? Cougar Chops....MMMMM.
• Does Cougar fir make a good coat? Will I Look Good in it?
• Why are there no Cougars in Minnesota as far as I can tell, too many Democrats? Is it possible Cougars don’t like to eat Democrats? Is this a reason I should become a Democrat?

This is about computer software and polygamous families.  Years ago when I was President of a computer software firm we were always making tweaks to the software.  Fix this, tweak that.

The problem is, you can never do just one thing.  If you fix this, that over there no longer works.

Everything you try to repair breaks something else.

The answer is, fix carefully and be sure than when you implement the fix you know what the consequence is.  Sometimes when I get the windows updates I have visions of Bill and assurance that this repair is just a little fix.  Then when the whole thing collapses in a heap the oops and Bills quick wit saves the day.  But I don’t have Bills quick wit.  It’s just some 19 year old kid in Redmond Washington who came up with this “Fix” and now it’s really broken.

So, pardon me Mr Gates If I don’t embrace every “Improvement” your folks make.  They are just like Bill.  Well intentioned and very quick.  But, quite human.

THIS HAS TO DO WITH POLYGAMY IN TEXAS

By now you have heard all the stories about raids, incest, mismatch marriages and many wives.  I won’t come down on the side of Polygamy.  But I am really questioning the heavy hand of the state who comes in an destroys families because child protective services knows better.
Interviews with Children of polygamous families from the fifties demonstrate the damage done to boys and girls permanently by the tearing of the family.  Yes, it’s not a family I would choose but how does the state have the fourth amendment crushing power to do what they did.

This really bothers me.  A Lot.

The mothers are starting to speak out.  This will have ripple effects.

You can never do just one thing.

In this morning’s Chicago Tribune was a great story about a man who was let go after 25 years in corporate life.  He was also unemployable pretty much.  Over 50 you see.  No jobs.

So, he decided to do work no one else wanted to do.  He is a pooper scooper.  He picks up those piles your dog leaves all over your yard that you step in.  He charges for it of course.  He has a route doing this for people who find this work disgusting and distasteful.

And, he makes $75,000 per year doing it.

So, if you are un or under employed and would do ANYTHING for a Job, I have only one question.  Do you want it as bad as Ron Johnson the Poo be Gone man.

How bad do you want a job?

I saw this on John Armstrong’s Blog this morning.

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.

Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which---to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers---they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of “Sweet Home Alabama.” In English. You couldn’t make this up. You have to see and hear this to really believe it.

I loved it.

I have an unmarried 35 year old son.  Good Guy.

But when I saw this story in the Forum today I wondered how I could get her to meet him.

I’m kinda kidding but this is a gal that can take care of herself.

Don’t mess with ND Women.

Today we had a black on black killing in the city of an 18 year old. Some thug came to a party and beat him to death with a baseball bat. I don’t see any marches against baseball bats. I don’t see the petions or preachers yelling about how we have to get baseball bats off the street. It’s all so cynical. Pure victimization politics.

Chicago Already outlaws all handguns. What are they going to do, Really Really make them illegal?? It’s about the culture. Change the culture (that means welfare reform at once) and get those kids mindsets reset. Start with the mindset that every person including little old ladies could be packing and if i try to mug her I could get killed. That'll slow things down a little. The mindset. We have a chance.

Gun control to fight crime is a liberal idea that has no evidence of working anywhere in America. In fact in the cities where handguns are outlawed and in states where concealed carry is the most restricted the inverse happens. Gun violence INCREASES. A gun free zone invites Gun Killers.

"The Daily Show” at TheDailyShow.com mocking John McCain for a recent series of speeches in which he tried to draw lessons from his experiences of 71 years:

“Oh! Gather ‘round, everybody! An old man wants you to get on a bus so he can tell you stories about his life! Wow!”

There were 10 minutes of jokes about how an old man and history are “boring.”

Next up: A hip “Daily Show” parody about a dumbed-down culture with hardly a moment for, and almost no consciousness of, anything that happened before 1995.

I have been disturbed for a long time by the misleading of Oprah Winfrey and her Gurus. They are making some serious inroads into people with weak theology. Those people are being led into an eternity without God.


This video defines what the problem is. Even if you are not a professing Christian you have to ask this question, “How did Oprah become a Spiritual leader”. She is a MIS Leader. Oh, and, She endorses Obama. This can't be good.

As you know Charlton Heston died last night. Alzheimers. Vile liberals on Daily Kos are jubilant at his demise.

I won’t dwell on that here.  They don’t deserve the electrons it takes to condemn them.

Because Alzheimers is in our family and I know it lurks out there potentially for me this is all too real.

I remember the interview Michael Moore did with Charlton Heston in Bowling for Columbine.  It was already apparent that Heston was having mental challenges.  Moore used Heston’s graciousness and reduced mental capacity to make his insipid point.

I never forgot and don’t forgive Moore for that soft ridicule as low hanging fruit.  You could do that to my dad today. 

Wouldn’t you be the big hero. Alzheimers.

Sorry, it’s personal with me.
