Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I am grateful for more than I can express: family, faith, friends, country, health, the opportunities of life, and above all my sweetheart, Sandra. God bless us, everyone. ..bruce w..

“Hide the Decline”, the music video
I haven’t written much about ‘Climategate’ because so many others are doing such a great job (for example, see here, here, and here). But this video (hat tip to Ace of Spades) pretty much sums things up (and with a catchy tune, too!). ..bruce w..
The silence of the (liberal) sheep
(Hat tip to Blue Crab Boulevard.) I certainly remember Democrats and the mainstream media (the same thing, really) ranting about the millions of jobs lost under Bush, not to mention the climbing deficits. Funny how quiet they are now. I’m not sure we will see unemployment under Obama get back down to the highest point […]
Monday morning comic
The sad thing is, it’s true. An electric car is, in effect, a NIMBY-mobile. Unless you’ve got your own clean energy source (e.g., a large solar panel farm on your property — and here’s a shout-out to Jim Hamerly), you’re likely still impacting the environment — just at a distance. ..bruce w..
Veterans Day 2009
I’ve been running around since early this morning and didn’t get a chance to put up our annual Veterans Day post listing the vets in our respective families. Here it is. ============= Bruce Webster: CPL Darren Green, USMC (active) — just returned from a tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan (see photo above) [nephew] CPL Jon A. […]
Iran Closer To The Bomb Than We Thought
On November 5th, the UK Guardian revealed that members of the UN atomic watchdog agency, the IAEA, were seeking clarification from Iran on evidence that Iranian scientists had come into possession of highly advanced, proven working weapon designs. This design, if they do in fact have it, is the same design developed by Pakistan and […]
Monday, monday…
…can’t trust that day. Or the weekend, apparently. Video above courtesy of Gateway Pundit. Not what George Lucas had in mind, I dare say. Backlash? What backlash? Once again, the “Serenity” trailer as a metaphor for the growing conservative rebellion. “No. They’re not going to see this coming.” The poster below has been showing up […]
Sunspot 1030 – Now It’s Getting Weird
As most of you remember, I keep a close eye on the state of the Sun, as it is my theory that its variable nature has been the driving force for many events in human history. This is even more the case today with arguments over climate trends and heating or cooling – could the […]
So, how’s that trillion-dollar stimulus working out?
You know, the massive stimulus that was absolutely necessary to keep unemployment from rising above 8.0%? Kind of missed the target, didn’t it? Anyone want to guess what unemployment will be in November 2010? November 2012? I’m willing to bet $1000 that it won’t be down to 7.0% and 5.5%, respectively, as the Obama economic […]
Henderson Genealogy and Family History
Ruins of the Henderson farm at Rhian, Caithness Folks who know me understand that I have been very proud of my Father’s Scottish heritage. For the past several years I have been working to discover and record as much of my family’s history and genealogy as I can. This effort has taken me to Caithness […]
