The Trillion Dollar Question

Why is America on track to spend 2 Trillion dollars on the effort to turn Iraq into a civilized country? Why spend that kind of money on the Muslims that hates us anyway? If there needed to be a war to avenge 9/11 then why didn’t we just spend 200 Billion dollars on leveling the place with every B52 we can throw at them? I say we should have tore the country down and then let them rebuild it. I don’t mean to sound cheap, or that money is more important than the soldiers risking their lives, but seriously, we are talking Trillions of dollars here people. There are a trillion ways to spend that kind of jack. And every one of them is a lot more worthwhile than just dumping it into Iraq. And here is my list of just a few of the ways to spend 1 Trillion dollars.

End World Hunger for 50 years. That’s right folks. At the current rate of 20 billion per year. 1 Trillion dollars can end World Hunger for the next half century. I would rather be known as "the President who spent a trillion dollars to end World Hunger” than “The retard who squandered a trillion dollars on the world’s largest liter box”.

Eliminate Cancer. Or at least put in 200 years worth of effort.

Eliminate diseases affecting the world. Or at least put 2000 times the money toward it than what is currently spent on eliminating AIDS.

Establish mining operations on a stabile asteroid. At the current rate of consumption, in a mere 200 years, the world’s coal supply will be totally depleted. If an inefficiently built space station can be built with 50 billion dollars, then we can definitely set things up to start tapping other extra-earthly sources of coal with 20 times that amount.

And my personal favorite:

Give everyone in the entire world a U.S. 1 hundred dollar bill. A trillion dollars would cover the cost to distribute the bills as well. Everyone in THE WORLD WOULD BE MY BEST FRIEND if I gave them $100.

The Global Warming Joke

I probably shouldn’t do this, but I am going to ruin all the fun for the politicians and lobbyist that want you to literally buy into the whole global warming concept. I really truly think that they are snorting through their noses laughing at the fact that people actually believe that the world is warmer because of something that little insignificant humans have done. They are probably making more jokes about next time telling everyone that human flatulence is snuffing out the sun.

Today there are politicians and lobbyist that are promoting global warming for the same reasons that politicians and lobbyist in the 90’s were promoting low flow toilets. All they want to do is sell you stuff that you don’t need. Yesterday it was big tin can tanks as nuclear bomb shelters, today it’s carbon offsets to fight global warming. What will it be tomorrow?

Here’s the deal. Water Vapor does the same thing as carbon dioxide when it comes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon Dioxide makes up only .04% of the Earths atmosphere while Water Vapor makes up 90% of the Earths atmosphere. Therefore, claiming that a reduction in carbon dioxide will fix global warming is like claiming that you can put out the wild forest fires out west by merely taking a leak on one tree.

In the very same way that the light metal structure of most 1960’s era bomb shelters was useless against radiation, reduction of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is useless in stopping global warming.

So why is the average temperature of the Earth rising? For the same reason that Ice Ages occurred in the past. Because that’s how the Earth works. It spins on it’s axis in a way that sometimes puts it farther from the sun which causes Ice Ages, and now we are finding out that it sometimes moves closer to cause what we might call “Fire Ages”.

So stop letting those turds in Washington get the last laugh. Flush ‘em down. If you got one of those low flow toilets, you might have to flush 3 or 4 times.

Journalistic Lies

Yes, there's lots!

I regretfully have to correct the below post due to the incorrect facts found at either CNN.com or nytimes.com or msnbc.com or npr.com. I can't remember which one, and can't find it in the history, but it's definetly one of them.

I noted that the gunman had only been living in the US for 9 months. Now it is being reported by pretty much everyone that he has been living here since 1992. Living here for 15 years makes a big difference in the argument for hm being a terrorist and threatening national security.

Clearly someone at the website in question decided to make up what they thought was a believable story in hopes that they could scoop everyone else. It's a real sleazeball tactic, but I have noticing it more and more.

Hazed and Construed

Out of respect for the families of those killed or injured at Virginia Tech, I would like to preface this week’s squeak by saying that my prayers go out to them.

To everyone else I have to ask; what’s wrong with this picture? There is something very odd about the whole thing. I don’t just mean that it’s strange that the administrators were surprised despite the fact that bomb threats were made last week, or the fact that eyewitnesses identified the gunman as Asian. The whole story in general just seems very strange and I can’t put my finger on what it is.

I can’t seem to get past the fact that he was only in the US for 9 months. I would think there would be some concern over national security being threatened by foreign students in the US, but for some reason nobody’s brought that up. Is that what seems out of place?

I also can’t seem to get past the “drama” between the gunman and his ex-girlfriend. It seems that if he committed the first shooting out of anger of his ex-girlfriend, then there would be no reason for the second shooting. That just isn’t consistent with domestic violence. Usually the violence stops when the people are no longer around each other. Is it the single gunman theory that bothers me?

It’s like there is something just below the surface that we are not immediately seeing.

The Link between Racism and Stupidity

Case #1

The other day I was at Best Buy looking at video cameras and I had a question about one of them. For some odd reason, there were no salesmen in sight. This is strange because as a white nerdy guy, I usually can't get rid of the salesmen in an electronics store. While I was waiting, I started listening in on the conversation of a Black family in the same area (something my wife has started teaching me how to do). They were soon going on vacation and really wanted to buy this specific camera. After a while, the family went to another part of the store, but in the same movement of people, a Middle Eastern family entered the camera department. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I would assume from the circumstances that they also wanted to buy a camera. I really wanted to make good use of my camera buying trip so I even out waited the Middle Easterners. No sooner than they had gone, not one, not two, but three salesmen came out of the proverbial woodwork and headed very quickly in my direction. Now I don't want to make accusations, but it did seem very strange that they specifically waited for the Blacks and Middle Easterners to leave. The bad part is, I ended up not buying the camera. The two families seemed ready to buy one now, and that would have been easy money for the salesmen. That was just plain stupid on their part.

Case #2
A Cincinnati Area Neo-Nazi group is planning to march through what is essentially an all black neighborhood called ‘Over the Rhine’ carrying signs that say; “Join the Nazi’s”. Apparently they are too stupid to realize that they are not going to successfully recruit anyone from there. More importantly, they are way out numbered by violent black supremacist in that neighborhood. How stupid can these guys be?

Case #3
The other day, well known radio host Don Imus actually referred to a college women’s basketball team as “nappy headed ho’s” Apparently this numb nut thinks Black people don’t listen to the radio. The bosses of MSNBC and CBS radio are even more stupid (and possibly racist) for believing Imus when he said that he didn’t know that the term would be considered offensive because they only suspended him instead of firing him.

Case #4
A large group of Iraqi citizens are resisting the aid of the US military in cities that are threatened by terrorists. These Shiite racists are so stupid that they would actually give up food, clean water, medicine, and all civilized life for no other reason than to prevent their Sunni neighbors from having those same things. What’s even more stupid is they are all Muslim. Their racist activities are the equivalent of a Southern Baptist church sending a suicide bomber to an American Baptist church down the street. The level of stupidity from racism in the Middle East is just astounding.

In all four of these cases, racism is influencing these retards to make stupid decisions. The people in these cases developed racist beliefs from absolutely ridiculous teachings such as Blacks are monkeys that walk upright, and Sunni’s are 2 legged camels. There is such a low level of intellect required for these beliefs that it can only be deductively reasoned that one who is racist is also stupid.

"Back in Black"

Hello readers. (assuming I get those here)

I'm Arpeggio Andy, formerly of MSN Spaces.

It's good to be back in the blogosphere after being forced out of MSN Spaces by the turds they refer to as "webmasters". These pusses are so lame that they didn't even have the nuts to tell me to my face (or at least e-mail) that they wanted me to leave. All they did was fix things so I couldn't edit the Space anymore.

To anyone who actually stopped by this blog: Hang with me, the entries do get alot better. And most importantly, thanks for your time.
