CoolSkyHDR Originally uploaded by intoxination Last night we had a nice storm move in around dusk. With sunset, it made for a sort of “fireball” look in the sky. The picture came out so good, I decided to make this HDR image of it. You can view the original, unedited version here.
The right (and some on the left) have been going on for months about Michelle Obama making all these statements about “whitey”. Well now we have video proof of her racist rampage:
Last week John McCain flip-flopped on the environment by calling for opening up drilling on the coasts of the U.S. Now he wants to appear to be concerned about the environment again by offering $300 million to any person/company who can develop a new battery that could power cars.Of course that $300 million would have […]
One of my all time favorites in the comedy world has died at the age of 71. He will be greatly missed. Here’s a Daily Show interview he did in 2004:

You can watch it live here. From the opening questions, I can kind of see how the Republicans are starting to frame this. They are going on the premise that Robert Novak leaked Plame’s name. The question to these Republicans should be, “what was Robert Novak’s security clearance at the time of the article?” We […]
Small White Butterfly Originally uploaded by intoxination Another macro shot I took yesterday, as this little, white butterfly was feeding away. On a related Flickr note, if you are running Firefox 3 (and you should be), it now supports color management. This is a great feature for viewing images on the web, especially ones from […]
I mean we are talking about huge savings at the pump. By 2025, we could see a net savings of $0.02 per gallon! The median case suggests the effect on gasoline prices in 2025 will be a mere $0.02 a gallon. The immediate effect will be zero as we’ll have to wait a decade to […]
