Weds. Open Thread

Update – 8:20 PM: For an update on my desktop situation, click here. Will be back to blogging a little later tonight. Need to set my laptop up as my main computer for the time being *cries!* That’s ok, tho – at least I am not without a way to blog from home

—————-

I’ll be headed home in about an hour or so to see what, if anything, can be done about my desktop issues. Wish me luck! I’ll check in at some point via the laptop to give everyone a progress report.

Thanks to everyone who has responded via the comments and emails. You’ve made me feel better about things – but I’ll feel much better if I can report to you tonight from the desktop, free of Win Police Pro!

Catch ya later …

I found the Van Jones clip to be very troubling on multiple levels.

If you put aside the “expletive deleted” nature and who the “expletive deleted” was target toward, the most troubling part becomes clearer.

First, the woman asked the question as to why the “party now out of power” in Congress was able when “in power” to pass legislation with less than the majority the current “party in power” enjoys, while the “party in power” can’t seem to do the same thing. The response .. BS .. or as Barack Obama would call it .. a distraction. Obviously, this question was not supposed to be asked.

Second, the cynicism this man has for the environmental movement is unbelievable. “Green Jobs” aren’t a viable economic product of reordered priorities based on good environmental principles, but rather a political opportunity. His appointment as “Green Jobs” czar shows that “Green Jobs” and probably the whole “cap-and-trade” legislation has virtually nothing to do with the environment, but rather is a source of funds to be squandered for patronage. Every environmentalist should be aghast.
