Random Ruminations

Here's several ideas that I needed to get out of my head. In no particular order:

One radio show host I listen to occasionally was talking about the recent plane jacking. The culprit claims he wanted to commit suicide and was hoping to be shot down. This radio show host pointed out that the pilot was Muslim and it loked a lot like the dry runs the terrosists would have before actually attacking. If that's the case, we just proved to the terrorists that we won't do what we say we're going to do, namely, shoot down anyplanes that illegally enter US Airspace.

While B.O. was at the G-20 Summit, apparently he bowed to greet the king of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the White House released an official statement saying it wasn't a bow. The Bible states: "By their fruits ye shall no them." B.O.'s fruits are becoming clear: his first public address after inauguration was on Arab TV addressed to Arabians, not even on American soil. He bows to the Saudi Arabian king. (Since when has the president bowed to other leaders, and then lied about it) He wants to mend relations with Communist Cuba...Is B.O. starting to show his true loyalties?

Liberals want everybody to drive electric cars to save the environment...How is the electricity generated to charge the batteries? In physics you learn of the Law of Conservation of Energy. Eergy can't be created out of nothing, it can only be transferred from one form to another...Aren't fossil fuels still being burned to generate the electricity to charge the cars?

And if "Global Warming" was a real threat, why hasn't the teleprompter told B.O. to outlaw racing: NASCAR, Stockcar, speedboat, etc. How much fuel is wasted during a single one of these events and how much "carbon emissions" are released? That should take care of the problem overnight.

But instead, B.O. is consulting with a scientist to use technology to alter the weather. That's right, this isn't some bad sci-fi plot. The 2 ideas they're discussing are shooting sulfur pellets into the upper atmosphere to mimic the sulfur emissions from a volcanoe that would then block the sun's rays, bouncing them back into space, or builing huge towers that would suck CO2 out of the aire and store it like a bunch of artificial trees. Does shooting sulfur into the sir really sound like a good idea? Wasn't this a plot from Inspector Gadget once to create another ice age?

Speaking of Inspector Gadget: I was ruminating about the cartoon earlier this week. I never saw the final episode but the rumor was that Chief Quimby was actually Dr. Claw and was disgruntled for always being blown up. So I decide to see what Wikipedia had to say on the topic and, among other things, led me to this site that revealed what his face looked like, and ruined childhood memories. If you want your childhood spoiled, visit with caution, Dr. Claw's face will be disappointing.

I do hope you've enjoyed my random ruminations.
