Just How Dumb Is Our Governor?

I think you're right, and there's a lot of that going around, Virginia. This one's almost as funny as when Ted Kennedy, after pushing for renewable energy sources for decades, balked at a windmill array that was to be put just offshore near Hyannis Port.

Nothing new here. People say we need more prisons, but let somebody suggest one in their area and suddenly the tune changes. We humans are an interesting and selfish bunch, aren't we? 

Yep, NIMBY disease is definitely a non-partisan affliction.  Whatever keeps the oil rigs off the coast is alright with me though.  I do love those windmills.  I looked at literally putting one in my backyard, but on the wind chart you had to be a 4.0  to have enough wind to regularly generate energy and Anderson was a 0.5.  So, we went with solar.  

 And I realized that human beings were an interesting bunch when, as a small child, I first saw a mullet.

I'm older than you, Virginia. I realized it when I saw my first beehive. [image]

1) Sleep problems: noise or physical sensations of pulsation or pressure make it hard to go to sleep and cause frequent awakening.
2) Headaches which are increased in frequency or severity.
3) Dizziness, unsteadiness, and nausea.
4) Exhaustion, anxiety, anger, irritability, and depression.
5) Problems with concentration and learning.
6) Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

I think I have Wind Turbine Syndrome now!!    Could be that drinking problem I've developed though.

Seriously, thanks for the article.  I'd never heard of that.

You forgot my favorite, Virginia: The pitiful squawks of hapless birds as they're chopped to pieces by those blades, which is enough to keep anybody awake nights.

Peregrine falcon sandwich, anybody? It's not half bad. Tastes kinda like a spotted owl sandwich, and not nearly as gamey as bald eagle. 

Yes, I do have a pet bird, Virginia, but she only has one leg and one wing.

A bird like that, you just don't eat all at once.

Stop screaming, Virginia. I'm just joking around with you. Beautiful bird you have there, by the way. Mine's a conure (really, with both legs and both wings intact), which would only make, like, one small sandwich anyway. But in a survival situation, at least the tiny little omelets would help out ...

DOH!

Enough cheap entertainment from the old chatrooms. Back to the issues at hand.

Stupid libertarian parading about as a Republican . . .
