No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Drinking Right – tonight

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because the head Moron’s passed out on a lake in Minnesota on vacation.

Drinking Right is tonight; usual time (7 pm), usual place (Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee). Steve wants to come back to news of a new attendance record, and since he won’t be there, that means you should be.

This concludes this message from the Emergency Blogging System.

Drill Here, Drill Now Tuesday – 8/12/2008

by @ 6:56. Filed under Energy.

This idea was started by Jessi at Wake Up America. It will appear here every Tuesday (whether I’m here or not; the only difference is I won’t be able to update the current gas price while on vacation) until Congress wakes up and allows a lot more domestic drilling (I’m not talking about just ANWR, or just off the Florida coast where Cuba, Red China and Brazil are preparing to drink our milkshake, or just the shale fields in the Rockies).

My Gas Price (south suburban Milwaukee County, Wisconsin): Unknown (I’m on vacation)

America needs to drill here drill now. America is having a energy crisis, and we need to do something now!

Urge Congress to pass a bill to drill in America, where the United States has vast oil and gas resources onshore and offshore that are currently illegal to develop and therefore inaccessible.

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 38 billion barrels of undeveloped oil resources (19 billion barrels onshore and 18.92 billion offshore).

U.S. law prohibits the development of approximately 180 trillion cubic feet of undeveloped natural gas resources (94.5 trillion cubic feet onshore and 85.7 trillion cubic feet offshore).

Also…

CONGRESS RECENTLY VOTED TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO DEVELOP U.S. OIL SHALE RESOURCES

With oil prices at an all-time high, Americans are facing escalating gas, diesel, and aircraft fuel increases. Oil prices are projected to increase further.

Congress, however, has made it illegal to develop vast domestic oil resources in large parts of the United States.

The most startling Congressional prohibition on domestic oil production concerns the recently enacted ban on the development of oil shale resources in parts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming in the Green River Formation. According to a Rand Study estimate, this reserve contains over one trillion barrels of oil, with 800 billion barrels fully recoverable, or three times the current oil reserves as Saudi Arabia.

If you haven’t already done so, first sign the petition to call for more drilling, then sign the one to get Congress back to DC so they can allow more drilling faster.

I am Rubber You are Glue!

by @ 5:01. Filed under Politics - National.

It appears that McCain’s recent ads portraying Obama as “Big hat, no cattle,” have struck a nerve.   Obama responds with this ad:

The response reminds me of the playground taunt used in a name calling contest…”I am rubber, you are glue. Whatever you say bounces of me and sticks to you!” I don’t remember that reply being very effective on the playground. I don’t suspect it will be any more effective in the campaign ad.

A couple of thoughts:

Obama still doesn’t know his left from his right, both politically and visually. Note in the video where it refers to McCain going right and left, the video actually shows him going left when it says right and vice-versa . Don’t Obama’s folks  know that you refer to directions from the perspective of the person you are assigning them to and not the audience?

OK, that was fun and trivial wasn’t it?

Obama refers to McCain getting all kinds of press and being a celebrity in Washington.

Question: Who made  McCain  a celebrity?
Answer: MSM
Question: Why did they make him a celebrity?
Answer: Because it was a poke in the eye to Republicans to make McCain a celebrity every time he showed he was a Maverick!

Kind of ironic that McCain’s celebrity came from actions that aligned him more closely with Obama…don’t ‘cha think?
