Odds and Ends

Just some random thoughts:

Al Gore has been accused of profiting off of his Global Warming snake oil. His excuse is actually a good one! He wonders why he should not put his money where his mouth is. I agree. Now if he and the left can stop demonizing those who make money in other industries.

Today is election day in a few places. The New Jersey governors race is most interesting. I don't think the republican will win. Why? Because the polls are too tight and in a tight race in the Northeast, the republican ballot box fraudsters are far outnumbers by their democrat counterparts.

I recently read an article by a Christian who remarked that someone was over-housed. I thought the author might be Hugo Chavez, but it was not.

I'm going to vote for a Democrat assemblyman today because the incumbent Republican has been the chief money spender in Virginia for many years and our budget problems are legion (the spending grew faster than inflation and population growth over the past 8 years). I don't expect my vote to change the balance of power in the Assembly, but I hope a new finance chair will be the result.

The evil (so says Pres O!) profiteering health insurance companies make 2-6% income year over year. That's about in line with long term government bonds.

The director of a Texas Planned Parenthood clinic has resigned after watching an ultrasound of an abortion. Good for her.
