Our gov't is beyond effed up. Where else would you find a bunch of idiots who write an 11,000 page law, without giving themselves time to read it before passing it, and then get pissed off at other people for the content. (see AIG executive bonuses) Seems to me that they are trying to point the finger to other people to make a news story, diverting the attention of the tax payers away from the real criminals in both Houses of Congress.

...and you guys expected change. It's poliTRICKS at its greasy-wheeled finest.

So this morning, I was watching a gardening show, and they were suggesting ways to go green. Most sounded intelligent, but one caught my mind. The suggestion was to use electric (plug-in) yard equipment, -ie- lawnmower and weedeater. They were suggesting that these electric-powered tools do not put off carbon emissions, which may or may not be true. If the electricity fuel source is nuclear power, that may be true, but if the electric power's fuel source is by burning coal, which is true for most of the USA's electricity, wouldn't using plug-in lawnmowers in reality, produce more carbon than the gasoline burning lawnmower and weedwhackers? Wouldn't "green" be more along the lines of not growing grass? Ironic, I know, but considering that 40% of our clean water is used to make lawns green, growing grass lawns, which need labor, water, and mowing, seems to be anything but "green."

In 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, reportedly took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death.


For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.












Does it look like art to you?

But this is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the
biennial of 2008.

April 12, 2008 - Eastern Glass Lizard -- that's right. I said, "lizard." I know you are wondering if the grasshoppers ate the lizard's legs, but they didn't. The Eastern Glass Lizard is legless, but still has eyelids and external ear openings like the other lizards. This one had one of those grasshoppers land on his eye -- talk about a stupid grasshopper -- "here's your sign."
