Climate Change Kooks reach new heights of buffoonery:

Doing what comes natural. Dogs love to fight- so why is Michael Vick going to jail for disposing of his own property? Thanks to the state, they wind up dead, anyway.

A fire breaks out in a damaged, partially demolished New York skyscraper at Ground Zero- but it doesn’t collapse into its own footprint. Amazing. The neo-con laws of physics have been defied!

From my cold dead fingers………NOT. A man turns in his “rocket launcher” to police for a pair of sneakers. What a wuss:

Al Gore, the Climate Change Con Man, makes use of no-talent musicians to entertain the Chicken Littles. Maybe he should visit Argentina which is having its coldest winter in 40 years:

You were blessed with a son

You raised him the best you that you were able.

You gave him to the state

Now, it’s a pretty rag you cradle:

What a 4^th of July bargain- reenlist as a Marine slave and become naturalized as a US serf/citizen. I guess that makes these blokes two-time losers:

The Emperor is always on the look out for more cannon fodder:

The 4^th of July- still another reason for the boobeoisie to make fools of themselves. Is there any activity more stupid and mindless than a parade?

Today’s lesson- how to prepare and execute an ambush:

“Just who are these people I‘ll be killing?”:

In Colorado Springs, I had the opportunity to choose and change my waste removal company (Waste Management, BFI, etc.). I chose Waste Management, who managed to keep my business by being fairly efficient and responsive over the past 12 years. They removed my trash once per week, for which I paid them what I thought was a reasonable rate.

I recall one angry letter writer complaining to the local paper that this was a horrible affront to the environment. “Why not have one desginated collector, so we don’t waste fuel with trucks running the same routes?”

I recently moved to Southlake, Texas, where real estate taxes are very high (at least in comparison to Colorado Springs). (I’m not very bright, it seems.) Trash removal here is a “free” municipal function.

So, how does trash collection here compare? Well, Southlake residents are mostly upper-income folks. I suspect that many of them have a high sense of entitlement. So my trash is removed twice per week. And if I call the city to say I forgot to put my trash out, they’ll come back at the end of their run and pick it up. (Waste Management would do that, but they’d charge you for it, and would do it the next day.) They’d even make a special trip to pick up any large amount of trash–Southlake residents can’t bear to look upon trash too long.

From an environmental standpoint, this kind of waste is obscene, as bad as or worse than the free market solution offered in Colorado Springs. From my standpoint, it well depicts the kind of financial waste that government is good at ignoring.

Dependability is also an issue. I put my trash out sometimes and it just doesn’t get picked up. Tuesday’s trash is still outside–a quarter inch of snow on the ground is too much to handle. That makes twice in the few months we’ve lived here that my trash has been an eyesore. Yet I can’t remember a single time in 12 years that Waste Management neglected to pick up my trash.

Certain people out there like to decry the fact that there’s too much choice. Too bad they have to force their narrow minds on the rest of us.
