Send dirk A Thong

Birdchick suggests:

Hey, maybe we could pick our favorite endangered species thong from Birdorable and mail them in to Dirk Kempthorne, secretary of the Interior, to let him know how much we dislike the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act?

Whether you agree or not with the changes certainly giving dirk a collection of thongs to fondle will give him something important to do during the remainder of his time working for the mob government.


Let Us Now Give Thanks…

…to our government:

We now depend on a few corn and soybean strains for the majority of calories (both animal and vegetable) eaten by U.S. citizens. Our addiction to just two crops has made us the fattest people who’ve ever lived,dining just a few pathogens away from famine.
Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, 2007, pg 54

A long series of government interventions in and regulation of many different aspects of the market system has led to this state.
Those who find “the answer” in more government intervention and regulation should consider exactly what that approach has achieved to date and whether what we now have writ larger is really their goal.
If it is then we must ask whether this goal is really the health, life and liberty of this country’s and the world’s people.


Gmail Recycling Tip of the Day

From the information bar right above the Archive button:

You can make a lovely hat out of previously-used aluminum foil.

Yours may say something different…

Being Google I also expected to see links to the best tin-foil hat design pages.
