Saturday Traffic Jam

So I am driving home from Ranier, OR on a Saturday afternoon and just my luck I get stuck in a 3 mile back-up of bumper to bumper traffic. Although this is typical Portland, it is unusual for a weekend. What was the cause? This tipped over truck on the infamous Terwilliger curves. Notice it is not even in our lane?! Why the slow down? Rubberneckers gawking and taking photos!(Notice the gap I created while shooting this) Idiot drivers.

The child with the heaviest bag won. Nathan just overtook Karmann by a few lengths and took the prize.

Big Fat Dee-Dee-Dee

Rosie here insists that for the first time in history, fire melted steel. Hmm, that is an interesting theory, what does exactly melt steel then Rosie? Any 7th grader with Google can resolve the reality between conspiracy theories and the fact. Rosie is our village idiot!

Rosie has no formal education and she should be fired for spewing these ignorant rants as though they have some basis in fact. She could just as likely get the audience to cheer in agreement if she proclaimed the earth is flat and Condoleezza Rice is a witch.

Gore's Envornmental Empire Building


I was bored in a hotel room last week, and while flipping through the channels I came upon Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, Biography/Documentary about Al's crusade against global warming. Having never seen it, but hearing lots of news both in support and in critique of the movie I felt compelled to watch and hear his side of the issue. First I was confused by the way it was directed as a movie as much about Al Gore and his biography, as it was about his so called truth. While the presentation was believable, the delivery made me more a sceptic than ever, like I was being over sold. It reminded me of a visit I was suckered into by an Amway sales person, without knowing I was about to be sold on the Amway scheme, I was led to believe I was going to be shown some great financial advise exclusive only to me. To the viewer you could get enveloped in the story of how Al now has devoted his life to saving the earth and he owes this to the planet for allowing his presidential bid to be taken or 'stolen' away from the populous by George Bush. Subtle hints of the 2000 election results almost even made my cynical self begin to feel sorry for this career politician who had to misfortune of being raised half on a tobacco plantation and half in a hotel in Washington DC.. Poor guy, what hard knocks to have to endure. A tear welled up in my eye while he flew over middle America in his private jet overlooking the vast earth he is about to save.

In other news, check out this interesting story on how Al's carbon offsets actually boost his investment portfolio, or this one, on all the Ethanol that we fuel up the farm combines and burn up the energy needed to create it at the distillery plant only to result in a net 0% reduction in carbon emissions at your tailpipe compared to straight gasoline. Your all being fooled into lining Al's pockets folks!

Gore home's energy use: 20 times average

Scientists slam Gore

Bush Haters Unite

Oregon is a great place to live, unfortunately I have to share it with a bunch of insane bastards. Victoria Taft, a local talk radio host, has the photos of these loosers making a psycho circus of the streets of Portland, as well as this image from San-Fran-Sicko

Stonehenge

I stopped at sunrise to visit this replica of Stonehenge that sits as a WWII memorial along the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Sitting on the Washington Side it has a spectacular view both east and west of the Columbia River.

The Mud Photos Published

The photos Nathan and I took have been published on www.themud.com all 600+ of them! Usually once the public gets wind of them online the site gets pretty busy and at times will be off line. The club was kind enought to even give me a plug right on the home page for my efforts. Thanks!

Immigration by the Numbers

My uncle sent this to me, although long, well worth the time if you care to fully appreciate the serious nature of our country's current lack of immigration controls.

Slip Sliding Away

Below is another example of why I won't be moving back to MN, it appears the only entertainment at this college campus is taking video of students walking across a slippery sidewalk and eating it.

What's with that laughing girl at the end, it's not THAT funny!

Where the Hell is Matt?

I stumbled upon this video on Break.com and then visited the creators website. Reading about how this was created I found out that Matt uses the same digital camera to make this video as the one I use. Matt is becoming another elebrity like the Star Wars kid, or Lonelygirl15 of YouTube fame. "elebrities" are more interesting than celebrities in my personal opinion.
