1026. Supreme Court Justices Unethical Behavior?
      We have all read about Jack Abramoff and how lobbying is done in Washington. Trips, dinners, campaign funding, and other perks paid for by lobbyists in return for favors the politicians can do for their clients. But our Supreme Court Justices should be beyond reproach. They are not elected, but appointed. They are in that position for life or until they decide to retire. They also should go out of their way to be unbiased and out of the reach of special interest groups, people whose cases might…



1027. UK Elections on the Horizon
      With elections on the horizon and Blair looking tired and increasingly defensive, just what is likely outcome of the next election? The New Labour adoption of Tory plans and policies has created an almost parallel party in terms of the Conservatives and Labour. Many people are confused and find it hard to tell them apart. The Labour Party will struggle to retain the loyalties of the staunch labour support it has enjoyed over the decades.The wind of change is in the air. Does this mean that the d…



1028. Bomb Resistant Trash Cans of Carbon Nano Tubes By Lance Winslow
      Many parking garages and buildings, even some airports now have bomb resistant trashcans. Some in the anti-terrorist consulting industry, which is getting to be very large these days due to the huge money flows from Department of Homeland Security Spending seem to thing that there sure has been a lot of hype over all this technology, probably by those who manufacture such items. Making these units out of Carbon Nano Tubes works because they are 50 times stronger than steel and super light too.…



1029. Design Your Saving Energy Plan By Nicky Pilkington
      At least once in a while and most likely when the utility bills are delivered people seriously consider finding a good energy plan that might be helpful in assisting them with implementing some techniques that will result efficient in what concerns reducing the amount of energy consumed in their household.There are some basic things that anybody can check and fix, if necessary, that can contribute to improving the overall energy saving in a home, which include, for example, identifying any pos…



1030. North Korea and Diplomatic Solutions; Random Thoughts Part III By Lance Winslow
      Sizing up North Korea is important for a war there. We must leave all options on the table and of course give the Chairman of North Korea the respect he wishes while remaining firm as Hell until it freezes over in fact if that’s what it takes; I now conclude my random thoughts over the last few years on North Korea and Diplomatic Solutions.The North Koreans also use roads most unpaved and canals, which can only take little boats. There are thirteen ports all must be blocked to prevent problem…



1031. Banishing Immigration Newspeak
      For nearly thirty years, Michigan's Lake Superior State University has released an annual List of Banished Words, a brief inventory of the year's most annoyingly popular expressions, with the recommendation they be 'banished from the Queen's English for mis-use, over-use and general uselessness.' This year, the tiresome 'metrosexual' and the insufferable 'bling bling' were deservedly condemned, as were several war-inspired entrants such as 'embedded journalist' and 'smoking gun.' I was disappoin…



1032. The Senate Filibuster: The Hulk Plan and the Nuclear Option By Garry Gamber
      The partisan feuding in the U.S. Senate over federal judicial nominees is leading to a battle on the Senate floor that will have long term effects on the makeup of the federal courts and on the future of the filibuster as a tool in the Senate. The battle has been brewing for quite some time.The Hulk PlanTwo years ago Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, upset over the blockage of another of President Bush’s judicial nominees, Miguel Estrada, held an impromptu meeting with a small group of Republican…



1033. Local Government Apathy - An International Problem
      Copyright 2006 Al Arnold Local government apathy is not just a problem in the USA. It is an international problem. A Google of 'local political apathy' proves that very quickly. The problem has also been with us for some time. In 1987 Mayor Ken Livingstone of London wrote a book, 'If Voting Changed Anything, They'D Abolish It.' Since 2004 something called The Power inquiry has been investigating the condition of democracy in Britain. This group hosted meetings and heard from a variety of interes…



1034. Bilderbergs By Robert Baird
      In the words of a secret agent who has signed the Official Secrets Act in Britain we find the rationale for what government and supranational organizations have been involved in since Cleopatra, Christopher Marlowe and his own immediate predecessors Crowley and Ian Fleming. David Barrett tells us:"Although the policies of 'need-to-know' and 'compartmentalized knowledge' can sometimes cause more trouble than they're worth, there are very sensible reasons for them; there are many things which do…



1035. Sarbanes-Oxley Reality Check on Bureaucracy By Lance Winslow
      There is no doubt in hindsight that Sarbanes Oxley was a mistake as we watch the blob of bureaucracy move into the private sector. There is no doubt that Sarbanes Oxley’s real costs have been passed onto the consumer and citizen like a giant tax increase of Boston Tea proportions. Many people wonder if Senator Sarbanes and Oxley should be brought up on charges of treason. Absolutely they should. Many people wonder if death by hanging is too harsh? Of course it is not.Over 7 trillion dollars ha…



1036. The Origins of Anarchy By Andy Carloff
      "When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States."-- Henry David Thoreau, "Slavery in Massachusetts," 1906 Houghton Mifflin edition printingWhat is it that turns a man or a woman in to an Anarchist? When I ask this question, there are many others that I might as well ask. What …



1037. Oil Prices Effect The United States Competitiveness By Lance Winslow
      Just because we have been leading the World in innovation and computer intellectual property, expertise and design does not mean we can afford to let our manufacturing dominance continue to depart the US soil. We once made everything here. We mined, manufactured, shipped, consumed and reinvested in our manufacturing ability. Consumers saved, businesses borrowed and we worked together to build. What happened? If and when we become a one World economy, eliminate protectionism and the poor im…



1038. The Squirminator By Robert Crane
      Regardless of the opinions we might have regarding same sex marriage, I think something on which we can all agree is that Governor Schwarzenegger’s recent dodge of responsibility demonstrated a troubling lack of leadership. It must be tough when there is no director to tell you what to do next.Just in case you missed it—you know with Katrina and Iraq and all—legislation defining marriage to be a legal union between ‘two people’ came to Arnold's desk with the political blood of many California …



1039. The Homestead Revolution IV
      Homestead Power Once we decide on how much electricity we would want in hard times, we can look at the most practical way to build up a system. Let us say we want to have two-way global communication. We know telephone service could go down for extended periods, so we would be better off with a satellite internet service and perhaps ham radio transceivers or cell phones as back - ups. I like battery back - up systems. Something that could store power enough for my basic needs for a day …



1040. Cracking Down on Cigar Counterfeiters By Tynan Szvetecz
      In the most rewarding new industries, there is often a convergence of factors that make them lucrative and sustainable. Factors like the emergence of new technologies, a ripening of the consumer market, or a political climate that spawns laws and regulations that give a particular business model oomph can revolutionize an industry. Over the last two decades, the counterfeit cigar industry in the United States saw all three of these factors converge to create the perfect storm of the illicit tr…



1041. Asking For Proof in the Economic Pudding By Donald R. Carroll III
      There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. Ask an economist for proof of one of their pet theories and you'll find quickly that the age old axiom that we all learned in school and work place training seminars is dead wrong. You can ask a stupid question if you're talking to an economist and that question can, in fact, make you stupid.It's a well accepted fact that scientists are not the greatest communicators around. They generally are not strong in the customer service or public relat…



1042. People's Republic of Hawaii Learns Communism FAILS!
      People with more than two actively firing brain cells know something VERY important - price and wage controls DO NOT WORK! People without at such brain function (often known as liberals) never seem to get it. WorldNetDaily today reports that some of these liberals may actually be starting to fire up some candlepower and figure this out.<blockquote>Hawaii's gas price controls, imposed last fall when the cost of fuel was hovering around $3 a gallon in many parts of the U.S., have actually tr…



1043. Save America, Vote for Anyone but Bush!
      George W. Bush has been in office for a little more than 3 ½ years. His resume is that of the poorest of all time and yet he is on the verge of being re-elected.Bush has done so many wrong doings it is hard to find a place to start. He has taken over a country who clearly did nothing wrong, ignored another country which now is leading back to their Soviet ways, ignored yet another countries nuclear weapons ability, disregarded the needs of our veterans and retired peoples, and as well lost over …



1044. Coping with the 2005 USPTO Fee Increases: Strategic Approaches By James McEwen
      On December 8, 2004, President Bush signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005. A portion of the omnibus spending bill revised regulatory fees at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). The bill increased the effective filing fee for filing a new non-provisional application and dramatically increased extra claims fees associated with filing new applications with more than the standard 3 independent and 20 total claims provided with the filing fee. The bill also increased costs of…



1045. How Can We Prevent Black Outs and Protect the Grid? By Lance Winslow
      The idea is to have all the important items with minimal back-up systems while things are restored. There are so many ideas we have not explored and should explore. With a little proper usage and conservation and a cohesive plan, the Grid should be so safe and capable that it no longer will be looked on as a target of those who wish us ill. Even devises can be made that lay on the drive way and the drive wheels of the car sit on them and they spin wheels generating electricity for the house. P…



1046. US Trade Deficit with Bordering Neighbors By Lance Winslow
      The trade deficit with Canada is now 50 Billion per year. The amount of money sent back Mexico each week from migrant labor and/or illegal aliens is estimated at 8 billion per week. That is 416 Billion per year, not all that comes back here, over half moves to other lands including Cuba a non-trading partner and China which already have incredibly huge trade deficits with. As we trade with other nations and uplift their economies it provides us too with benefits. Peaceful and successful neighb…



1047. Hurricane Conspiracy: Katrina By Dennis Siluk
      The female Governor of Louisiana, hiding under her skirts, should stand tall and take the blame for the dysfunctional course; she piloted, in the states reaction to Katrina, the hurricane, instead of pointing fingers. She pointed at President Bush, and Fema’s Mr. Brown, just like a weak politician would. She should be replaced for killing so many citizens of New Orleans; along with that stupid black mayor, Ray [Nagin], who again is pointing fingers as if it is a white and black issue, to shift…



1048. Over Regulation Choking All Aspects of Human Life By Lance Winslow
      No human civilization runs perfectly, that is not to say one couldn’t, as it is possible. Surely the United States runs better than most civilizations on the Planet in this present period, but with its top heavy Government it is not the epitome of efficiency by any means. As a matter of fact almost every problem in our modern society can be traced back to the inefficiencies of our humongous and ineffective bureaucracy.Whether you are a lover of the mess of government bureaucracy or not, or eve…



1049. Fascism - The Tensile Permanence
      Nazism - and, by extension, fascism (though the two are by no means identical) - amounted to permanent revolutionary civil wars. Fascist movements were founded, inter alia, on negations and on the militarization of politics. Their raison d'etre and vigor were derived from their rabid opposition to liberalism, communism, conservatism, rationalism, and individualism and from exclusionary racism. It was a symbiotic relationship - self-definition and continued survival by opposition.Yet, all fascist…



1050. Federal Trade Commission and Dismal Performance on Mergers By Lance Winslow
      Most citizens agree that we need the Federal Trade Commission to protect us from Corporate Greed. However any such citizen who believe a government agency will help you in anyway or improve your quality of life is indeed amongst the bottom tier of intellectual capacity. In fact the Federal Trade Commission in their slow response time to pretend to monitor mergers and aquistions have probably single handedly caused more job losses and stock losses then Osama Bin Laden. In fact recently in a Thi…
