Into the Void
Back off, man, I'm co-creating my reality.

Democrats and “Elitism”
In the current political usage, “elite” usually means “educated” in the sense of being well-rounded intellectually. THAT is what we are struggling with. It’s people who want to learn it for themselves vs. people who would rather take someone else’s word for it. Spirituality vs. blind faith. Evolution vs. stagnancy. Proactive vs. reactive. We’re back […]
VW’s Planned Vehicles
This little VW Scarab sport-utility vehicle should be built on the New Beetle undercarriage. Looks pretty cool. We aren’t likely to see them in the US.
Blood from a Stone
If there’s no global oil shortage, why is it necessary to go to extremes like extracting oil from shale? For years now they’ve been using water to flush out the dregs from near-depleted oil wells. It seems pretty obvious. There was a gas crisis in the mid-70’s where they went to even-odd day gas rationing. […]
No Nostradamus
I have to get this out before it rots my head. Stuff happens. “I don’t think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees.” — George W. Bush, to Diane Sawyer. It didn’t take a Nostradamus to know this could happen. National Geographic predicted the New Orleans disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina in October, 2004. Thousands […]
Who Are You?
I see that Dubya has nominated dark horse John Roberts to succeed Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Roberts has little experience as a judge, though the press was quick to point out that he has argued cases in front of the Supreme Court. I’m a bit worried about his coded description, “reputation for goodwill and decency,” […]

Self-Googling again
I suppose I’ll go in to work today for an hour or so. The ADHD got the better of me of Friday and I burnt out at about 5PM. But before I go in, I think I’ll surf the Internets. Let’s see who is linking to me. The Bipolar Planet has been in existence since […]
As The Worm Turns
A Worm a Day Keeps the Doctor Away. “We believe that this research will lead us to develop a new ways of preventing and treating asthma and anaphylaxis, which can then be extended to treat inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis,” says Dr Fallon. I’ve heard other reports of intestinal parasites helping keep common immune disorders […]
NAMI Hurricane Aid
I do not have the words to express my anger over the lack of response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Too little, too late, they are saying. I would be a much harsher critic. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) is responding to the needs of the mentally ill […]
