1. Ronald Reagan: I have mixed feelings towards this actor turned president. I am SICK of Conservatives worshipping him; and I am SICK of Liberals/Leftists trashing him incessantly. Here's some things that many don't know:
I. Reagan cut taxes and ended subsidy programs during his first term in office.
II. Reagan supported Saddam Hussein until he decided to invade Kuwait.
III. Reagan ran deficits and expanded the size of government.
2. Nintendo DSi: I already have the original model DS, and probably don't need the newest model. On the other hand, they improved the internet browser from the Opera browser and has a built-in camera. So far, I'll pass for a good reason.
3. The James Randi Educational Foundation: I'd wish more people here would sign up here and head to their forums. In case you don't know, James Randi is one of the great debunkers who used to be a magician years ago. If you do join their forums, don't run away crying when they trounce you in a debate. If you want the link, it's Randi.org. Plus, I love anything that makes those conspiracy assholes shit their pants when they see a documentary from the JREF forums.
4. Chemical Scares: I'm getting sick of these damned scare stories and I'd wish that the peckers who hype them to hell would just shut the fuck up. The vast majority of these chemical scares are proven wrong and yet those who came up with the scare keep making money. It shows how Junk Science gets a bunch of bullshitters a lot of cash. Some people just need a good old punch in the nuts to keep them in line.
5. Czech physicist Lubosh Motl: Here's another amazing find that a lot of people would either approve or scream in volitile anger: http://motls.blogspot.com/2008/10/foun ding-fathers-on-redistribution-of.html
This man has seen how bad it was in Communist-bloc Europe, and now he has some quotes from the founding fathers on wealth redistribution.
6. Neal Boortz: I disagree with him on the Iraq war, and I know about him writing speeches for a racist governor. However, I agree with a vast majority of his views and would rather have him as president over McCain or Obama. At least he doesn't get himself addicted to painkillers like America's Anchorman.
7. Recycling: I used to recycle, but quit three-and-a-half years ago because it didn't really contribute to anything. Added to that are the following:
I. The United States has enough landfill space for shitloads of garbage.
II. In most cases, It takes more energy to recycle than it is to make something new from scratch.
III. Recycling is subsidized because it is cost ineffective.
IV. While there is real money in recycling metal, it isn't being used enough to be worth it.
V. In addition to the wasted energy, recycling is also bad for the enviroment.
8. Kennedy and Landrieu: You probably don't know these people, but Mary Landrieu is one of Louisiana's two senators who needs to leave; while John Kennedy (not to be confused with the Presdient JFK) is Louisiana State Treasurer who has a 37,500 dollar campaign debt from his Treasury campaign re-election. Why vote for either one while you can vote Libertarian instead?
