Wind Power, Save the Environment, Buy a Tee-Shirt !


This tee shirt was on a website that claimed to be about low speed electric generation. So far as I could see there were NO other products.  Price?  35 USD !  hey…I’ll sell you a tee-shirt for 20!

So much of what the greens are about is getting their claws into some one elses budget.  The formula goes this way:

1) find some topic :  cigarette smoking,  Global warming, transfats,  lets just call it cause X because it doesn’t matter to them what is REALLY IS.  Only that they think they can sell it like a solicitor panhandles a donation over the phone for some Police Charity Fund that has nothing to do with the police

2) Whip up fear and resentment, use congress if possible.

3) Alot of extra bang can be had using the tee-shirt method.  Since our culture in the USA is so starved of any sort of real community make people feel like they can be part of something by selling them a tee-shirt!

If they really want to go out on a limb they could do piercings and tattoos for that environment. That would really be rebelling against the problem.

Politics: Effective Fighting Methods Mimic Real Physical Ones


It appears that the democrats do not have any ideas. They only crave power.

PROOF:  Methods used are only the kick the legs out from underneath the opposition.  Unfortunately they consider their opposition to be GW Bush and not Al Quayda. 

Yes they only want their power.  Which is all the more reason they should have been denied it.

In an attempt to kick the legs from underneath Bush, Barbara boxer chiding Condeleza Rice for having no children.  Isn’t that special.  For my own part I have refrained from procreating until and if I ever find someone I think is special enough to warrant said procreation.  People like Barbara Boxer would NOT fall under that category.  We would have been better placed had she not been bred.

I like my women sexy, scathingly intelligent, with a good sense of humor.  None of these Democrat women would be applicable at any age of their lives.  Condaleeza would have been had I met her earlier when she could have had children.

So put that in your Choir Beating San Francisco pipe and smoke it Barbara.

Relevant Noise,Personalized Impersonal Touch Big Bro Data Mines You to Maximize Positives,Minimize Negatives


If you have a blog and watch the site statistics closely you will notice that something called “Relative Noise” comes to visit.  http://www.relevantnoise.com    After listening to their audio introduction you can deduce that they are not interested so much in what you think but rather summing up negatives and positives in your arties so as to track the blog image of a product or candidate.   Smile,  you are still only a number not matter who you are :)

They detect on

1) something versus nothing

2) positive tone words versus negative ones - I assume there is a deviation number.  Deviation is the measure of variability   around an average value. 

This all seems to happen rather rapidly.  It appears that blogs may be getting faster treatment than any other type or search scanning as I have monitored the scanning of this blog its rising edge has been much faster than other types of websites that I do. 

Looks like its taking more energy to keep the hogs on the farm nowdays!   An invention of the 21th century it appears the personalized impersonal touch has arrived.

The name is very relevant to their methods.   The concept is very similar to power measurement in communications theory. In this of communications channel design signal to noise ratio is often of interest and its measured mathematically with similar methods.
