How long until Michelle Obama is pregnant?

When our new president's poll numbers start to sag or if he faces a serious reelection challenge there is in his arsenal a public relations weapon far beyond what the American public has ever seen.

100% solar Jeep

My Jeep Cherokee is now 100% solar powered. I have accomplished this not through a complex system of charging stations, bulky expensive portable cells or my home solar hydrogen conversion kit. I have for the past 100,000 miles been burning fuel that was converted by the organic process of photosynthesis using solar power millions of years ago. This process actually takes atmospheric carbon dioxide and with the power of the sun, released the oxygen and combines the solar into an organic molecule. These molecules were then modified by a completely natural earth friendly process into an unrefined fuel. Even the process of perfecting this fuel was accomplished using this same stored solar energy.

Life imatates art


Hot Damn! This woman is smart, hot, and so forth.


Just a touch of irony here; During the depression of the 1930s my great grandfather did well for himself and my great grandmother as the only coal distributor in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Now, 80 years later I am making a good living doing essentially the same thing. I work for a publicly owned utility whose main (almost exclusive) source of energy is coal. By operating the electrical transmission system I am delivering coal to around a million people 24 hours per day. It’s funny how despite appearances things really don’t change.
