It's Memorial Day, too.

A bit of recognition would not be amiss.

Or something.

Current biofuels are stupid, and more damaging environmentally than regular fuel. A gallon of biodiesel requires more than a gallon of gas to produce, and ethanol is a hoax perpetrated by the Iowa corn industry.

The Starbucks bomb was in the middle of the night, so I'm not sure if it really "scares customers." I guess that's ambiguous, as in, "scares future customers." Oh nevermind.

Right if it were in Seattle and a bomb went off at my local Starbucks and it was at night, I would realize it can't be "real terrorists," because they would have done it in the daytime, so I wouldn't be worred.

Sheesh. Damn idiotic New Yorkers. They worry about Twin Towers and for many years, most in fact, it wasn't even attacked. Then they worry about Ft. Dix nearby, now they're worried about lame brains attacking Jews when it's clear they were only trying and couldn't really do it, and now this, worrying about a bomb "in the future" just because one is set off at night.

What a bunch of pussies.

Hey, even Google put up a little yellow ribbon, and we know how anti-American, anti-Christian, and pro-terrorist they are.

Did the conservatives ever develop their own Google, in order to better boycott the Liberal Search Engine? Or do they just use Altavista?
