Sure looks like the government is doing its best to cover up flight 253.

Haskell, sure sounds like he has them running.

Good Job Brownie was better

This thing gets stranger as it goes along. Amsterdam has the toughest security around, they missed him. However Somolia caught one trying the same thing. So Somolia is better than Denmark.

Both kick our buts. Nepalitano says everything worked, well, except the part about the guy in a plane with a bomb over Detroit or Windsor. His Dad turned him in, but we ignored it. And, oh, by the way, seems like he should have been detained in Yemen because his visa had expired.

However, Janet and the gov had a solution, go after bloggers who might embarrass the administration.

US Apologies are needed for these

Each time the Liberal-in-chief goes out to apologize for the US to Europe, he should consider these:

66,000 graves of American Servicemen in France
$288,000,000 cost of WWII for US
$115.3 Billion (cost adjusted) for the Marshall Plan ($12.7 Billion actual)
~$20 trillion for keeping the Soviet Union out of Europe after WWII

The US spent lives and treasure in a war that an inept France and England allowed to happen. We then spent over 40 years making sure they were not part of the USSR.

What we have to apologize for is saving a bunch of European ingrates.

Let's hope hopes are fading

The best hope is that no deal is struck at Copenhagen. I'm sure as "developing nations" China and India would like to see the developed west pass out money while committing economic suicide. The rest are there to see how much free money they can get.

I never could quite understand why liberals want to commit economic suicide.

Justice

I'm on the fence concerning capital punishment. But in Muhammad's case, it was justified. I'm glad Kaine didn't follow his inclinations and apply clemency. Time to forget about this monster.

Richmond Area Murders

The Richmond Times Dispatch put up a database with area murders. 167 out of 232 were by gunshot over the past 3 years.

And you believe they are going to soak the rich

Politico says that there are 237 millionaires in the Congress. Seems that most of the wealthier ones are Democrats. Remember, the Dems are the folks who are out to get those evil millionaires. And folks believe that a bunch of millionaires are (a) going to contribute heavily to a party that is going to get into their pockets and (b) are going to vote to decrease their wealth.

A record?

It seems that Mr. Owens, NY-23 Democrat may have set a record in renegging on campaign promises. He was pretty much against the House Health Care "reform" bill when it served to get him elected. On being sworn in he was all of a sudden for it. File under lying politician, lying Democrat or who calls his dog?

Regulatory Mind, updated

The last email exchange was interesting. I've said that siloxane removal for low-medium Btu landfill gas to energy projects was not good enough to make it technically feasible for SCR because the silicon would degrade an poison the catalyst. Florida DEP is, because someone else did, requiring a cost analysis. The example sent said they wouldn't do it and, if it were a requirement for the project, they wouldn't do the project because it would be too costly. So, he made my case. I guess my definition of technically feasible is the catalyst will be poisoned quickly, therefore making it impractical to do this. I guess we just write the cost up, making it too costly.

Blogging again?

New gadget may make it simpler

The Regulatory Mind

Had a discussion with a Florida air permit writer about the type of equipment used by a landfill gas to electricity plant in Seattle. He had it wrong. When I corrected him, he didn't believe me, even when I told him that the plant was built, owned and operated by my company. He would have to "look into what I said."
