Mango Knife Fight
I was all set to write a long post about why the different energy lobbies need to stop attacking each other since ultimately we will need all possible sources of energy in the coming years, however in between thinking it through in my head and putting it in type I stopped to prep dinner.
I was going to make a nice mango/yellow pepper sauce for the cedar plank barbecue salmon I was imagining, but this mango got aggressive. I quickly got out a knife to show it who was boss, but somehow I lost the knife fight with the mango. The photo shows the results.
So it’s a ham samich, a tetanus shot, and seven stitches tonight, and Salmon on the morrow.

AFP Speak
France use dto be about liberty, equality, and brotherhood, but AFP has decided that they need to rewrite the lexicon. Over the years the Taliban have graduated in their eyes: from Terrorist fundamentalists to Extremists, to Militants, and finally this headline hails them as “Rebels”.

Tax Increase and Deficit Spending
Lost in the furor over the immigration bill that has yet to come to vote, the Democrat controlled congress quietly passed a budget bill late Thursday night that repeals tax reductions
Lost in the furor over the immigration bill that has yet to come to vote, the Democrat controlled congress quietly passed a budget bill late Thursday night that repeals tax reductions, (which equates to a tax increase,) and which adds deficit spending on top of that, increasing the budget over a Trillion dollars above the one ten years ago. Not five months in power and they’ve already busted the budget and increased your taxes. It was quite sly of them to float the immigration bill to the media in the lead of this, but not much slips by the Captain. Please stop by for Ed‘s full analysis, a sample below: Continue reading “Tax Increase and Deficit Spending”

Pakistan Update
In NWFP the Taliban threatens Christians with expulsion if they don’t convert to Islam. This is likely just the start to Christian Persecution — as the Taliban brings Jihad in-country they will need non-muslims to attack to justify their evil call to Jihad.
