Argue with the goldfinch. Climate change is proven by ice cores of Antarctica but that is too esoteric for some. Polar bears are drowning and permafrost is no longer permanent. Inuit people are seeing their traditions disappear after countless generations. If nothing else, believe the birds. - http://www.care2.com/news...

Economic stimulus "outside the box." - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...
Examples of what Republicans want to be cut from the Stimulus:
A billion dollars extra for the 2010 U.S. Census, which is going to pay many jobless people in every American town — and shore up Lockheed-Martin, which is getting $500 million to build the data systems and run the machinery. $75 million for FBI employee salaries, because why would you want to pay America’s top cops to do law enforcement and investigations, in America? $500 million for Mississippi River flood control projects, which would employ thousands of laborers and keep dozens of construction companies in business, because nothing makes Republicans happier than seeing a Katrina repeat on the TV every other hurricane season. $200 million for green vehicles on U.S. military bases and $600 million to replace the federal fleet of cars with hybrids, because only a gay communist could see the economic benefits of $800 million in sales for U.S. auto manufacturers while simultaneously cutting the government’s gasoline bill by billions per year. $1.4 billion for rural garbage-disposal and recycling - Phil Boiarski
The GOP can happily vote for a Trillion dollars off the books to destroy Iraq so we can save it, but vote to spend money in America? How dare they! - http://wonkette.com/405954...

Talk about turning the other cheek. Obama's invited Republicans over to watch the Superbowl. This spirit of forgive and forget is hard for me to adjust to. - http://voices.washingtonpost.com/white-h...
"Everything is quiet, peaceful, and against it all there is only the silent protest of statistics; so many go mad, so many gallons are drunk, so many children die of starvation. . . . And such a state of things is obviously what we want; apparently a happy man only feels so because the unhappy bear their burden in silence, but for which happiness...

Microsoft shows what it thinks of its customers. Using a Mac in a tiny-flaccid ad is not new, but stickers. Any fourth grader will tell you; that's like so 90's. - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

CNet and PC Mag (to be expected) and now WIRED are giving ink to the eye-rolling and sighing over the Mac update on virius protection. Has anyone ever had a virus problem with a Mac? I have been around Mac and Windows for more than 20 years, while Windows has had several long and serious problems, nary a single Mac issue..

Liar's Poker, that's was my offhand comparison of what was happening on Wall Street to what investment should really be like. It turns out that a book was written in 1989 predicting this very meltdown. http://www.portfolio.com/news-ma...
