Oil spill moving toward Florida beaches, news reports say

Just a Guy — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 23:06:39 +0000

That monster oil spill — perhaps better called an oil “spew” — appears to be heading toward some of the best of the resort beaches along Florida’s west coast, from what they’re reporting on the news today. Just one more example of the horrific impact this mess is going to have on our world before it’s over.

Wow, Gulf oil monster just keeps chomping stuff down

I guess the BP technical geeks must be feeling pretty desperate by this point. (Probably well before this point, if I know engineers.) No matter what they’ve shoved at the leak, or crammed down it, it just keeps chomping it all down.

Taming oil spill monster truly awesome, amazing story

Speaking of news stories — I suspect before all is said and done the whole nightmare of the devastation caused by that out-of-control oil spill and the details of how and when it’s gotten back under control may rank as one of the top news stories of this century.

Have you returned your Census Form yet? Only once or did you do it twice??

Just a Guy — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:32:58 +0000

Have you returned your U.S. Census Form (or questionnaire or whatever you want to call it) yet? You should.

On the other hand, as Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show” jokingly suggested last week — if we all refuse or fail to return our Census Forms, we’ll create a ton of temporary jobs for Census workers. Maybe??

Coming down to ‘crunch time’ for health care reform

Just a Guy — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:12:53 +0000

All news points to a resolution of some kind, an “up or down vote,” on the President’s health care reform efforts within the next week or so. Fortunately, I’ve been able to get by medically and “healthwise,” without a lot of health issues in recent years — beyond simply trying to find the best weight loss supplements or vitamin/mineral supplements.

Battlegrounds in fights over censorship changing

Just a Guy — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:50:42 +0000

I remember back in the “good old days” (say, anytime before about 1970?) when censorship and censorship issues making the news generally focused on matters of sex and/or graphic violence. But in recent years, with the advent of the Internet and corresponding availability of “information” — ranging from real information to widespread access to p*rn sites — the battlegrounds upon which censorship issues are fought have been changing.

Cautious signs recession may be ending, but jobs still lagging

Just a Guy — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:53:46 +0000

I’ve read a number of stories and reports online and off-line (yes, in the “real” daily newspaper I still read most days) in which economists are saying there are cautious signs that this recession may be ending, or at least that we’ve turned a corner, bounced off the bottom, or whatever. But most of those articles and reports say that new job creation still isn’t happening — but also that (and I don’t know whether this is true or not) job creation is usually the last thing to recover when we’re coming out of a recession or economic downturn.

So-called ‘birthers’ display continued ignorance, arrogance

Just a Guy — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:08:31 +0000

Not long ago, I posted a video dealing with the idiotic so-called “birthers” and their insistence that President Obama’s was not really born in the U.S. and is, therefore, constitutionally disqualified to be president. These folks (I’m no longer even willing to call them “good folks”) are continuing to publicly display their ignorance and arrogance.

Obama birth certificate story put to rest for all but nuts out there

Just a Guy — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:46:29 +0000

I swear, one of the most insane, nutty issues surrounding President Obama has got to be the paranoia surrounding his birth certificate. Here’s a video you need to see. It SHOULD put the matter to rest for all but the real nuts out there. For those folks, you couldn’t possibly present enough evidence. But for the rest of us, this should do it:
