Eye Of Newt

My tweet just now @Al_in_SF:

After criticizing Romney for eliminating Kosher food for holocaust survivors, Gingrich then proposed food with eye of newt for old witches.

Foldable Electric Car

If you cannot afford a Ducati 1199 or a TreMoto Monstrosity 920, get a Tuk-tuk, all of which are classier than a fold-up car. [1]

[Class] War & Peace

It is funny to me that those who cling to the concept of class warfare have never produced a real solution that achieves class parity other than taxing the rich, which does not work. [1] & [2] They have yet to articulate the point when parity is reached, when the relative "poor" will be satisfied with what they have in comparison to the rich and when the class war commander-in-chief will be able to raise a banner declaring "Mission Accomplished" and "Class Peace."

Although I am not a fan of history, but on this occasion I will use the example of Mao Tze Tung, a peasant who with his Red Guards ran around China taking away wealth from their owners and as a result, he was able to achieve equality by making everyone just like him - poor. Is that what the people of the United States want to be, equally poor?

Without God, there is nothing that I can love; without God, I have nothing that can be loved.

Herman Cain Endorses Newt Gingrich

My tweet: "Herman Cain endorses Newt Gingrich. Wonderful! They can both go on the campaign trail and espouse their opinions on marriage [in]fidelity." [1] See also [2].

Can Facts Be Copyrighted?

"Copyright does not protect facts ..." [1] For NBC to claim that Mitt Romney could possibly have violated copyright laws when one of his campaign ads featured a former news broadcaster saying that some of Gingrich's House colleagues in 1997 had questioned their Speaker's "future effectiveness" [2] is to admit that NBC and its broadcaster were not simply reiterating the facts but were instead indulging in something other than facts that could be subject to copyright, such as fiction. So were NBC and the broadcaster televising facts or fiction at the time?

NBC further claimed that "the extensive use of the broadcast 'inaccurately suggests that NBC News and Mr. Brokaw ... agree with the political position espoused by the videos[.]'" [3] Who in the right mind would reasonably believe that NBC and Brokaw would ever have partisan views? Were they not the pillars of objectivity and integrity in the news reporting business?
