The lefties are upset because the AP reported the following:“It is, indeed, a last hurrah.Edward M. Kennedy is taking the stage at the Democratic National Convention Monday night for what likely is his final appearance in a familiar setting.”Posters on the Daily Kos were completely outraged!!The Associated Press Should Be Ashamed“…beyond tasteless” posted by BarbinMD“Time for Congress to hold hearings on media” posted by CTonyBy far my favorite post was by MrvnMouse“I know a bunch of young Republicans....

I have been pondering the selection of Senator Joe Biden for VP and the upcoming selection of McCain’s VP and I began to wonder…What would I look for in a running mate?For instance would you want to select a VP that would balance out where you are weak, thus making your weakness a front page story?Would you tend toward a more moderate (or radical – depending on your position) VP to help garner votes from that which you have not swayed?Do you look...
AP: Barack Obama prepares to name running mateLets be honest…does it really matter? This guy is a weakling…He states that Justice Thomas didn’t have enough experience to be on the Supreme Court…has he checked his own resume!?!?!

Well it is being touted that Obama will pick his VP this week…just prior to the convention…and one side note on that…What was he thinking allowing Hillary to be on the ballot!!! Talk about dumb moves!!From a strategic side who should Obama pick as his running mate?From the opposition side who do we want him to pick?I think that if Obama wants to win he needs to pick a more mature statesman that will help him in the areas that he is weakest (as in being President of the US) and that person would...
A few months back I ran down the numbers on replacing our coal fired plant with a solar plant (Is Solar a reasonable alternative? Continued) I’m sure there was more than a few of you that thought I was a little out there.Well in today’s New York Times there is an interesting piece on the 2 new solar plants that will be installed in California. (Two Large Solar Plants Planned in California)These two plants will have a capacity of 800 MW (remember that is operating at 100% efficiency) but only regularly...

Swiped from Nick (h/t)Would you rather have:Cheap Gas Independence from "foreign oil"These are mutually exclusive options, both in reality, and in the context of this post.

It seems our ‘friends’ over in the Green Party (let me remind you that their Presidential candidate is Cynthia McKinney – and here and here) want to re-write the constitution, they even go so far as to say that the current format for Congress is incorrect – granted you have to understand how the Electoral College works to say that but that is their insinuation.So once again how does the Electoral College work?Each state is given a number of Electors equal to the number of Congressman and Senators...
AP: Fact Check: Properly inflated tires cut gas useThe McCain camp was quick to point out that Obama finally came up with a solution to the oil shortage!! Obama’s plan…“Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tuneups," Obama said. "You could actually save just as much."In response to this just earth shattering news the McCain camp decided...

I used to have Math as a regular segment and it has fallen by the way side but I just saw an article on Scientific America that sparked my interest again so here is the math question:“In the ancient society of Machudo, families wanted no more than three kids. Their eldest son had a chance of becoming king, so they would stop having children after they had their first boy. A family that had three children or had a boy was said to be "complete."Assume boys and girls had an equal probability of being...

As many of you (I know that there are only about 3 of you reading this blog) have noted there has been little activity on this page this week. For that I apologize but I must explain.You see, while I have a full time career as an auditor, I have a number of other activities that keep me busy and this week with Senator McCain coming to town I was extremely busy so I had little time for posting. McCain’s visit to Racine was a success and I hope that we will see him back here in Racine at least one...
