Deuce of Clubs HotLinked Image Bait and Switcharoo

Deuceofclubs.com is a website that is run by a rather amusing fellow.  His site originally gained notoriety with a phone booth in the middle of the Mohave Desert.  This phone booth as popularized and people from all over the world started calling people who camped out by the phone to received the calls.  Can you say beneficial cycle ??  I knew you could. He can be a bit cranky sometimes when people hotlink photos from his site.  It uses some of his bandwidth and thus causes him consternation.  Thus when he discovers a hotlinked photo he switches a different photo in Read more…

I've learned alot of lessons over the years on how to spot bullshit.  While reading an exerpt from the book that inspired the movie "The Sting" I saw alot of the called out.  See if you can avoid thinking about Al Gore or alot of other politicians as you read them.  Of course the title of this post has been specially selected considering the sub prime mortgage mess.

More Fruit than Papaya Tree

This is the tree outside my apartment in Brazil. I guess papaya ( mamao ) must be slow to ripen.  With so few leaves the energy can enter the fruit only slowly.  Its an impressive array though.  I keep hoping for one fresh off of the tree someday.

Several design features make the Plantronics MX500 headset the best I have used so far.

Allergy Based Sleep Disorder in Phoenix Arizona and the Resulting Effect on Resting Heart Rate Weight and Blood Pressure

  I am now in Southern Brazil far away from lands that are car overloaded and have found that I sleep like a baby here.  For what ever reason I have had some sort of sleeping disorder in Arizona.  Its most likely due to allergies to polution or valley fever fungus.  I feel like a new man here. My heart no longer batters the inside of my rib cage when I merely roll over in bed.  Thinking is more clear and I don’t get the post cup of coffee mania that I normally get from caffeine when I am in Arizona.  I Read more…

An Example of the Lunacy Gripping Many Including the Leftist MMGW Crowd

The following article is something that was forwarded to me by an old aquaintance from many years back.  It is written with serious intent. It is not a joke from his point of view.  To me it illustrates how much of a joke the left is.  Their anti-anthropogenic leanings are obvious in the Man Made Global Warming schtick they pull out at every opportunity. I don’t know about you but I get really tired of hearing about it.  Just to repeat:  I did not write the following.  It is included here to illustrate the classic misanthropic nature of some of our Read more…

Sirius Satellite and XM Merger Show how the FCC REALLY Operates

Sirius Satellite and XM need to merge in order to survive.  There are alot of media outlets these days. Old fashioned radio, the internet are providing choices as never before.  All the while XM and Sirius are losing money.  Simple fact is there will be no satellite radio if they both go out of business.  Both are loosing significant amounts of money on a per share basis.  Thus it makes absolutely no sense for the FCC to block a merger between the two.  Yet the FCC makes noises about how a merger would not serve the consumer. Let’s get real here.  It may be just as likely that the FCC and cronies in old Read more…
