Diesel fumes cause cancer (and brake dust isn't exactly healthy, either)

Diesel fumes cause cancer (and brake dust isn't exactly healthy, either):

I’d like to file this under “DUH”. Did anyone think diesel fumes were good for them?

For fun, Gruber, on Wintel sales lagging:

Ding-dong, the Wintel witch is starting to slowly wither away.

What I like the most about this cheerleading, that Apple’s PC sales went up 20% and overall PC sales went down ~9%, is reading this chart:

Apple sold 356k more PCs than last…

johngruber:

Search Amazon for “iPad” and the top result is this “Compare iPad 2 vs. Kindle Fire” promotional page.

God, and when I go to the grocery store or go to buy OTC medications, even those assholes at the store have the nerve to pull shit like this!

They actually tell you, right on…

I bet if Apple allowed applications that competed with their own they’d do this. But alas they don’t, even if you had the idea first.

Fresh Air from WHYY : NPR:

Astonished! I remember this the Rolling Stones article going around, but never read it. I’ll have to remedy that. How do we let politicians get away with this? How many politicians fall under the 1% and benefit from the low tax rate on the capital gains?

Q. and A. on the Debt Ceiling

For a time it seemed safe for many people going about their summers to try to ignore the debt ceiling drama playing out in Washington. If Wall Street had not seemed overly concerned that the United States was headed toward default, why should anyone else worry? And there is the long history of crying wolf in Washington: in April everyone finally got up to speed on the threatened shutdown of the federal government just in time to see it averted by an 11th-hour deal.

Didn't Congress get mad at Bush for the same thing?

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn - Yahoo! News Photos:

Really? I can only assume she will also support cutting Representatives pay and benefits as well. I mean it will save money. And they should get what the average American does for healthcare. No better and only while in office.

Coal vs nuclear

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:15:43 -0400

Coal vs nuclear:

Let’s dump the old school nuclear reactors and move on to molten salt and/or thorium based. Also 4th gen breeder reactors to get rid of all our current nuclear waste. Current waste has a ton of energy left in it to use. It’s like cutting down a tree for energy, only burning the leaves and throwing away the rest in fear of someone taking a piece and starting a fire elsewhere. I’m referring too nuclear poliferation. Processing waste makes plutonium.

Yea Michigan. Why did we vote him in?

I am not a fan of Union’s so that part does not me. The whole taxing the poor is what really bugs me. Not even taxing pensions bugs me too much…probably because I don’t have one. Corporations taking over cities and towns though? What is this a Robocop movie?
