Stealthy Nature of the Wind Power Revolution

There are a couple of interesting anecdotal facts I’ve come across lately. 1- An aquaintance of mine is doing large load escort.  He said that he’s doing ALOT of large wind tower escort.  Huge business numbers going on.  Interesting in that I do not think any amount of government subsidy can build and sustain any sort of meaningful business.  In order for something to explode it has to be genuinely economical.  My source also reports that a wide variety of companies are involved in this industry now.  2- James J. Cramer mentioned on Mad Money that 10% of domestic steel production Read more…

Tennis Shoes over Power lines – Dope pushing 101 for white people

Ever see tennis shoes over power lines?  I have several times and always wondered what the shit was up with that?  I always thought it in my naive white boy way it was just some kids having fun with old shoes.  In my defense that was only a fleeting thought and I figured there was something I did not know. Turns out its used by dope pushers to mark their place of business.  While I think drugs should be legal I will be the first person to tell you the people who ply the drug trade professionally are tacky sons a Read more…

When Cellulosic Ethanol comes fully online corn prices will plummet

If you read my back of the napkin on the envelop calculation about how much cellulosic ethanol we can produce in the USA using trash then you know that number is likely substantial. When this happens corn prices are going to fall. Cellulosic ethanol will be relatively cheap.  Look for forces outside and inside government to slap a significant tax on this. The reason?  Because they can.  There will be significant budget margin to do so.  Thus Oil industry and government will conspire to locate the price of ethanol at a price that supports petroleum pricing.  Likewise government thugs will in Read more…

Bernard Ebbers – How Prejudice should work

Prejudice serves a purpose.  I will demonstrate using Bernard Ebbers as an example.  He is the ex CEO of WorldCom.  A quick read through his wikipedia entry yields the following information 1- Born to the family of a traveling salesman 2- During the time between schools he worked as a milkman and bouncer. 3- In 1968 Ebbers married Linda Pigott, and the two of them raised three daughters. Ebbers filed for divorce in July 1997 and married his second wife, Kristie Webb, in the spring of 1999.  Her resulting name was Kristie Webb Ebbers which is ebonics for “I will rob you Read more…

Who is UPS picture drawing guy with the odd hair?

After seeing more whiteboard picture drawing I had too google the ups whiteboard picture drawing guy.  Turns out its the marketing firms own creative director.  So in reality the same guy that pitched the advertising idea to UPS is pitching it directly to us now. At first it appears to be a doofy set of advertisements but on the other hand it must be cheaper to use a whiteboard and draw to illustrate stuff than it is to film some dramatic creation with cgi animation special effects.  

Anatomy of a Liberal Environmentalists Arguments

1- First and most important they tend towards atheism as a crowd.  You may be a liberal and a christian believer but you are part of a crowd that uses as its basic assumptions there is no Judeo Christian God. 2- In the next breath the liberal environmentalist will say the Earth is sacred. Well screw the liberals.  If there is no god I am under obligation of any sort or variety.  I am a law unto myself.  In fact I do believe this.  I am atheist.  I do not think this makes me a bad person on the contrary since Read more…
