Sorry, that dog don’t hunt

I see where Garry Trudeau (great Canadian name…maybe he should relocate his sorry ass), the King of Recycled Comic Strips, is rerunning some of his 2001 Enron strips. That dog don’t hunt no more, comrade.
Unfortunately I’m talking about the dead strips on tree — er, sorry, Freudian slip, the “strips on dead tree”, not the ones online, so I don’t have a link for you.
But talk about a guy who should have given up years ago. He’s not even funny when he tries to be, anymore.

Outstanding!

We need to be doing the same damn thing here in the States. In particular I love this bit:

You guys just think you’re smart. You won’t think so when you’re swinging by the neck or lying strapped to a gurney with two needles in your arm and a finger poised over a button. Lucky for you Britain doesn’t have the death penalty.

Now, the losing of the weight

Doctor says I’m a fine specimen of over-40 humanity. Blood pressure acceptable, back getting better, need to lose weight. No damn sense of humor about weight in the medical profession.
Anyway, between that and installing the new laser printer, I’ve not had time to do much else today.
Oh, and in the process of installing the LJ, I knocked the power cord loose from the Linux box, which is why the blog has been down for a few hours — I just noticed it when I sat down and tried to log in. Oh well.

Hell…er…yes!

Scalia is speaking out about these recent stupid church/state decisions.

Although the Constitution says the government cannot “establish” or promote religion, the framers did not intend for God to be stripped from public life, Scalia said Sunday at a religious ceremony.

Absolutely.

Goldberg on Lomborg

Jonah in defense of the Skeptical Environmentalist.
I read this book, cover to cover, and it made a GREAT deal of sense to me. I wish my dad had lived long enough to read it, because he would have been nodding thoughtfully throughout, and saying, “I was saying that thirty years ago but nobody would listen to me.”
Global warming, my ass. I still remember global cooling. And where I live at the moment, I’m a lot more ready to believe the latter than I am the former.
