A Call To Journalists On Reporting About The Climate

Posted on January 2, 2010 by Shane

As I write this post, the outside temperature is -2 degrees F, up a few degrees from -7. It’s pretty damn cold out. I have noticed that there aren’t many news reports talking about climate change now when it’s really … Continue reading →

On Threats In The Air…

Posted on December 29, 2009 by Shane

This recent attempt at terror in the skies apparently was only an operational failure, not a tactical failure. The 24 hour news networks have latched onto this story, forgetting for the most part about swine flu, Tiger Woods, and the … Continue reading →

This is a little less nice than I would be about it…

Posted on June 5, 2009 by Shane

Check this out: http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archives/1086-Ok,-Im-Done-With-Being-Nice.html The author pretty much rips an old lady a new one for extremely poor financial choices, and castigates the New York Times for putting out such tripe. I have to agree on the tripe part. What … Continue reading →

We could almost be syndicated…

Posted on September 15, 2008 by Shane

Well, This evening I uploaded the 22nd episode of The Libertarian Dime. The number “22″ doesn’t have any significance that this skeptic knows of, but I was curious about one thing. How much content have I produced? Turns out, including … Continue reading →

I guess Diddy has some pull…

Posted on September 11, 2008 by Shane

Some may remember the despair in Diddy’s words as he said the following: “As you know, I do have my own jet, but I’ve been having to fly back and forth to L.A. pursuing my acting career. Now, if I’m … Continue reading →

An excuse only a Republican could love…

One more reason to like Drew Carey

Posted on April 11, 2008 by Shane

I’ve always been a fan of Drew Carey. I thought his show was for a few seasons, a better shown than Seinfeld. Now, not only is he the host of the Price is Right, but he is also an outspoken … Continue reading →

Every problem has been fixed!

Posted on February 27, 2008 by Shane

Apparently, Bush and Congress have fixed every problem in America. Why else would Henry Waxman be asking the Attorney General to pursue purgery charges against Roger Clemens. Must be nothing else to do. Share and Enjoy:

Naderating.

Posted on February 25, 2008 by Shane

Ralph Nader has announced yet another run for the presidency of the United States. As in 2004, he’s made some overtures to the Green Party, but fell short of fully embracing the party. The Green Party, though, will be instrumental … Continue reading →
