Congress voted years ago to ban incandescent light bulbs. The reason? To save Americans as much as—hold onto your hats here—$85 a year! Also to save energy, and of course, the savings were exaggerated. It’s that global warming state of … Continue reading

And this is why I’m retro-blogging

Just read a few of the news sites and my blood pressure about doubled. So I’m sticking with my decision to not write about the news for the foreseeable future. It’s my very own watermelon-rind helmet. (You’ll have to click … Continue reading

Rounding up the news

Pakistani terror in India, again: Of course it’s the Pakistanis. Who else would it be? Say, wasn’t it a great idea to separate mostly-Muslim Pakistan from India in 1947, so the two countries could get along in peace and harmony … Continue reading
