If you aren’t depressed enough by the last few months of Washington tomfoolery, take a look at the “inspirational” posters on this site:

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.

Ahmadinejad and Ortega, sitting in a tree
There has been a lot of focus on Iran’s growing ties with Venezuela, specifically their dictator-for-soon-to-be-life Hugo Chavez. What has been left unexplored is a budding relationship between Iran and Nicaragua. Todd Bensman has been exploring that relationship, and he sees more than a few parallels between that and an earlier Iranian effort in Argentina that culminated in a Hezbollah twin bombing.
Fausta had Bensman on her podcast today. I highly recommend listening.
I wish I could explain why the Nicaraguan connection is going mostly unexplored. Their dicta…er, President, Daniel Ortega (yes, THAT Daniel Ortega, Communist), does have a decades-long hatred of the US.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for ballers
That’s right, the NCAA Mens’ Basketball Tournament is upon us. I’m already 0-1, incorrectly taking Alabama State over Morehead State. As a Moron, I should know better. Oh well, here’s the rest of my Bouncing Mozzarella bracketology. Selected lowhighlights:
– The Marquette Care Bear…er, Golden Chickens will be able to beat the rush out of Boise tomorrow. Unfortunately, because they’re the nightcap, the Wisconsin Bagders can’t say the same.
– Once again, no #16 seed will win.
– This year’s Cindy is Butler, with Mississippi State being the lowest-seeded 1st-round winner.
– Call me crazy, but I see three Big Ten teams making it out of the first round.
– For those of you participating in the third annual “Which #1 will be knocked out first” poll, I am not calling for a repeat of last year’s all-#1 Final Four. In fact, Pitt and UNC will not make the Sweet 16.
That brings me to the Third Annual Which #1 Will Drop First poll. As always, seconds do count, so pick carefully.
Which #1 will be the first out of the 2009 Big Dance (seconds do count)?

That’s what noted man made global warming alarmist, James Hansen, believes is necessary to get legislation enacted to keep the world from going “pooof!” Hansen’s lament?
“The democratic process doesn’t quite seem to be working.”
“The democratic process is supposed to be one person one vote, but it turns out that money is talking louder than the votes. So, I’m not surprised that people are getting frustrated. I think that peaceful demonstration is not out of order, because we’re running out of time.”
In a rare instance I agree with Hansen, money has been talking louder than votes. Money, for people like Hansen and Al Gore, got a stampede going for global warming based on “research” that is being routinely disproved and thoughtful, analytical, actual environment scientists are looking at the hysteric’s claims.
As to Hansen’s cry of “one person, one vote,” perhaps he would want to consider this:
It’s been an axiom of mine that people who hyperventilate and avoid dealing with facts, tend not to be folks you should trust. Beyond that, if Hansen is so concerned about money impacting government policy, might I suggest he could look into the sources of the online fundraising for one, Barack Obama?
