Public Hearing in Jackson County Concerning New Construction Moratorium

I didn't mean to follow this story, but as I came through Sylva on my way home, I noticed a convoy of trucks leaving Sylva, and realized what was happening, that tonight was the Public Hearing I had been reading about in the Sylva Herald.I have uploaded the videos to West Carolina Report and the still shots to my Photoblog because I really hate small photos.The results of the meeting will be published here (probably late Wednesday afternoon), and...

Al Gore's Carbon Footprint

A big Hat Tip goes to The Drudge Report for this gem of a story!!!Green Boy has been exposed as just another hypocrite!I wonder how large his carbon offsets will have to be to cover this? [Snapshot]In the previous post, I said that I would work to increase my carbon footprint, and old Al has dwarfed any effort I had in mind. I need to dig up a photo of the Gore Mansion. I've heard rumors it looks just like the White House.My power bill only runs between $60 and $80 a month since I've boosted the insulation.I guess for the Democrats, it's do as...

Al Gore, Prophet of Doom

I began my daily routine at 2 am with a quick check of the news and saw that "an inconvenient truth" has won an Oscar for best documentary. In a world where Jimmy Carter and Yasir Arafat can share a Nobel Prize for Peace, it is expected...even though the film has been proven false in it's premise, it was a masterpiece of propaganda film making, like the Nazi Masterpiece, "Will."If Al Gore is so sure of his hypothesis, why does he not face Bjorn Lomborg in debate? Why will he not even give an interview to reporters who have reported favorably on...

The Mainstream Media is our Enemy

Ever since I became involved in following the news very closely, I have noticed that those reporting the news are often interested in a hidden agenda, and are not very transparent about their political views and goals.I am sure that everyone who reads, or stumbles upon, this blog knows exactly where I stand on most issues, and have no illusions about my political affiliation. They can then judge for themselves whether or not what I say has any veracity.Case in point...For the past week or so, we have heard that the Brits are leaving Iraq, and...

XM Newsletter update about merger with Sirius Radio

The following Newsletter update was delivered to my mailbox today, and I thought I would share it with you after I voice my concerns about the merger.I like XM77, XM110, XM112, XM113, XM133, XM 163-166.I do not want these channels to change their content.I would, however, enjoy a channel dedicated to NASCAR 24/7/365, and "several" in car audio channels during the race.I do not want to hear Howard Stern. He is the primary reason I chose XM, besides what used to be a dedicated NASCAR channel where I could listen to old races.Okay, enough whining,...

The InfoWar BattleSpace: Some Thoughts

>This is part of the trend toward a Total War environment, where everyone can participate, or have their words used in the ongoing war effort by either (or both) side(s). This is where opponents of the war have the unintended effect of making the conflict last longer by giving aid and moral comfort to the enemy.One of the things that I wonder about is what would this look like if there was a shooting war in America between two (or more) factions? Don't laugh---I know people who say it is unavoidable, and are making preparations for it now....

666th Post Non-Binding Resolution Passes US House

Non-binding Resolution for the Defeatocrats

We have a duty to ensure the voices of Americans are heard. We have an equal obligation to ensure that when Congress says it is supporting our troops, that our troops are actually being supported.

Feb. 13, 2007 — While members of the U.S. House of Representatives take turns weighing in on President Bush's planned troop surge in Iraq, the focus in Iraq is not on the arrival of more U.S. troops, but the departure of one of the country's most powerful men, Moqtada al Sadr and members of his army. According to senior military officials, al Sadr left Baghdad two to three weeks ago and fled to Tehran, Iran, where he has family. Al Sadr commands...
