Well, it ain’t in California, that’s for sure. For the first time since 1993 (15 years–that’s no so long) are cutting their water delivery levels to cities and farmers by an extreme amount. It is estimated that cities and farmers will get no more than 15% of the water they request. 15%? That is insane. [...]

Where’s the water?
October 31, 2008Russians in Libya
October 31, 2008So in response to the US’s plans in Europe, and lack of embracing Colonel Mummar Gadafi, the country has entered talks with Russia which would allow the Russians to build a naval base there. They are also considering buying 2 billion dollars worth of Russian weapons in a deal that they hope will once again [...]
Wings No Match
October 31, 2008Sorry Adrienne, but our boys in teal beat your boys of the red and white. And they did it coming from behind to stay a perfect 6-0 at home. Granted, it wasn’t much of a come from behind, as Detroit only led by one, but still it is a come from behinder, so…. Anyway, Marleau [...]
I’m In!
October 30, 2008I just registered for National Novel Writing Month, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve never really done anything like this, though I have been writing for most of my life, mostly fiction. The difference, though, is that I have never really sat down to make a concentrated effort to write a novel, or [...]
It’s Sarah’s Fault
October 30, 2008At least that is what some in the McCain camp want his supporters to believe. Things are looking grim for Johnny, even though he somehow managed to gain a few more electoral votes in the polls, and as we all know when things start to go bad there has to be someone to blame. I [...]
Start Giving the Money Out!
October 29, 2008What’s the one thing that could make the bailout fail? Okay, there are lots of things, but there is one thing that all but guarantees the bailout’s failure, and that is that the banks will not lend the money out. And that is exactly what is happening right now.
It’s such a big problem, in fact, [...]
Sovereign State? No, They All Belong to US!
October 29, 2008Attacks into Syria: violation of a sovereign nation’s borders.
Drone missile attacks into Pakistan: more violation of borders.
Both Syria and Pakistan have condemned these types of attacks, and have asked the US to stop. In fact, both have said they consider these attacks to be a violation of their sovereignty, and could be considered acts of [...]
Money Money Money
October 29, 2008Where is all this money coming from? The nation GOP is taking a 5 million dollar loan, from where? I don’t know, to help out its candidates in the Senate races. Many GOP Senators are in danger of losing their seats to Democrats, and I am happy about that. The Republicans had six years of [...]
Go Go Go
October 29, 2008The Sharks remain perfect at home. They beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 last night, and that is awesome. What is even more awesome is the Sharks limited the Penguins to 11 shots. 11 shots! for 60 minutes of hockey. Freaking awesome. And furthermore, proof that they can play solid defense when Nabakov is in goal, [...]
Watchmen
October 28, 2008So they’re making a Watchmen movie. I know, old news. And there is a new trailer floating around the internet, well it’s like a week or so old so I guess it isn’t really new. Again, old news. So why am I writing about this?
Well, let’s just say I am excited [...]
