I taut I Taw a Putty Tat

I live inside my birdcage a hanging way up high
I like to swing upon my perch and sing my little song
But there's a cat that's after me and won't let me alone
I tawt I taw a puddy tat a creeping up on me
I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be.

That puddy tat is very bad he sneaks up from behind
I don't think I would like it if I knew what's on his mind
I have a strong suspision that his plans for me aren't good
I am inclined to think that he would eat me if he could

New Country Cornflakes

Please buy our cornflakes. They're made from corn.

Rumba

Rumba is a very exciting first calf heifer. She is in the top 0.5% of the breed. She rocks.

Juliet

The blog has been facebooked.

Not to worry. I'll stay here.

Grandma Visits

More pics to come.

Staggering.

Maybe there isn't even any global warming, anthropogenic or otherwise. It may not just be trumped up, it may be entirely fabricated, or, as it says, quality controlled and homogenized.

Destroying the Environment to Save It

Go stand under a windmill sometime and then tell me they are benign.

More on Borlaug

After his triumph in India and Pakistan and his Nobel Peace Prize, Borlaug turned to raising crop yields in other poor nations especially in Africa, the one place in the world where population is rising faster than farm production and the last outpost of subsistence agriculture. At that point, Borlaug became the target of critics who denounced him because Green Revolution farming requires some pesticide and lots of fertilizer. Trendy environmentalism was catching on, and affluent environmentalists began to say it was "inappropriate" for Africans to have tractors or use modern farming techniques. Borlaug told me a decade ago that most Western environmentalists "have never experienced the physical sensation of hunger. They do their lobbying from comfortable office suites in Washington or Brussels. If they lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world, as I have for 50 years, they'd be crying out for tractors and fertilizer and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists in wealthy nations were trying to deny them these things."

The author is Gregg Easterbrook, who wrote "A Moment on the Earth."

Tonight's Red Sox Game

Blacked out. Why? Probably because ESPN owns the rights to ALL baseball on Sunday night. That's my working theory, leastways. Hey, MLB, why not alienate some more fans?

Does anyone know what networks the playoffs and WS will be on?

Really Exciting Red Sox News

Heidi just announced this and I was so thrilled I had to put it on the blog. Ya ready? Red Sox Owner John Henry has started his own blog about the Red Sox and actually already has a post up! Heidi's excitement was contagious.

Jesus H. Christ on a Honda 50!

I wonder if it'll include pictures of his new trophy wife.

A Truly Great Man

Here.

Choosing a Wife

In some circles I'm considered an expert in the field, so this interested me.

Quiz

Two pictures for today

. . . of sights never to be seen again, outside of pictures and memory.


More here, and video here.


Please think of Mike's parents and brothers and sisters today.

WATCH OUT!!!!

You're being watched.

The Omnivore's Delusion

Please read this, if you haven't already. It is one of the best things I've ever read about modern agriculture.

If there's anything I can't stand, it's a foodie.

More Van Jones

He has resigned.

Here's an excerpt from a CD he made with Mumia Abu-Jamal (google him if you don't know who he is, esp. if you're a Philadelphian) :

"The American way, manufactuered by these white folks in office. By these rich men here to mock us. The United States is a stolen land led by right-wing, war hungry, oil thirsty. And when it's all said and done they still can't clean their own place because they got people of color playing servant to do that sh*t for them... The true terrorists are made in the US, in this police state..."

He tried to start an anti-war on terror newspaper, because we are the true terrorists.

This guy was chosen by the president to be the Green Jobs Czar. You know a man by the company he keeps. Obama's company list is long and full of America haters.

And that's why the only company I keep is Mom. Everyone else is suspect. Sometimes I even worry about Mom.

Your government at work

These people can't be shamed.

Your "Green Jobs" Czar

Van Jones. And here. Remember Bill Ayers? Reverend Wright?

There were clues.

Raping the Earth with Hybrids

Rare metals becoming rarer. Treading lightly, my foot.

"Jack Lifton, an independent commodities consultant and strategic metals expert, calls the Prius "the biggest user of rare earths of any object in the world."
Each electric Prius motor requires 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of neodymium, and each battery uses 10 to 15 kg (22-33 lb) of lanthanum. That number will nearly double under Toyota's plans to boost the car's fuel economy, he said."

Hey, does that mean Piouses aren't organic?

More on "An American Hero"

Here. Kennedy was 37 years old, and a US Senator, when he drowned Mary Jo Kopechne. The details are truly disturbing. The guy was a turd. Read a few paragraphs. I don't know if I can forgive the Red Sox for their idolatry.
