A bit uninspired

Sorry, that it's been so long. I've been busy plus the s*&t has been hitting the fan lately. And frankly, I have not been feeling very inspired.

But, thanks to Top Chef, I got something to say. It's brief, but important.

The Kiwi picked Stella. The Kiwi picked Stella.

A Little Bit of Hope if it Weren't for...

First, you should all know that I do not post all my 'wonderful' ideas. There are just too many and to be honest, I tend to forget about them.

Until I am reminded....

Just on the fabulous Colbert Report, there was a guy who has written a book called Green Jobs or something like that. And I am so happy because finally someone is talking about this. I have been spouting this, (side note: I actually sent Barack an e-mail about it a long time ago, the only one I have ever sent a politician and it's kind of annoying because now they send one of my aliases e-mails all the time and I get tired of hitting the delete button). But anyways, I digress...

But, isn't it great. Create jobs which help the environment. Things like get all the out-of-work Detroit Auto workers building my new kind of locomotion (I really need to think of a snappier name for that one). Hire builders to unbuild our empty buildings and miners to 'unmine'. Hire other unemployed people to build wetlands and return rivers to a more natural flow (don't even get me started on the value of this one). Subsidy farmers for being organic, not for growing too much corn. This is where governmental spending should be. Truly create jobs, like in the Depression.

End the war and have the army truly protect our country, by protecting the environment. Put their technology and their engineers in charge of new fuels and developing my new locomotion (again, got to think of a cleverer name).

But the best thing is that if this is a published book on the Colbert it's being talked about, at least a little bit.

And the oil guys are under fire for the immense subsidies they are getting.

I would have some hope if it were not for the evil Mr. Bush. Let's see what more violations of the Constitution he can do before he's out.
