To honor and yet distinguish ourselves from the original Weird Bird Goddess – Susan, whose husband John Blogs all things red man (no not the tobacco product) and Denver at the Thedrunkablog site listed in our Blogroll. People are unaware of their many years spent helping to save the poor children in the ghettoes of Haiti . Or their passion for working in the camps. So hats of to them, now fly away.
Fotosearch is having a Buy One Get One Free Sale….Sadly I did not buy the first one so…
Like in the old Commercials. Anyway Dan periodically gives me permission to post his elegant visual social commentaries (other wise know as editorial cartoons) here at Energy Tough Love. So I try to return the favor and Publish ‘stuff” he thinks is important. To that end:

<After all that genuflecting here is the latest Bizarro “fair usage” from the great man…
Thanks Dan….
I took my own advice and searched for “Saudi Aircraft” to see if I might get lucky and find an attribution. I didn’t find the actual site but I did find this:

Title: White Planes Can’t Jump
While it is hard to see because I can’t size the #$%^&*:( pictures, think about where the people fortunate enough to be on this flight ended up. That’s right in the water in the ditch. Now you know the rest of the story.
If there something terribly important happens on Friday or if there is work to do, I will post it. Sometimes I even post on the weekend (Yuck). But I have wailed on FutureGen, the Taylorville Energy Center and the Environmentalist who rolled over for them. So today we just will have fun. As always these woop it up Fridays are dedicated to Sue and John. Many of you know that from a young age they both shared a passion for collecting rare chinese miniatures. In time they have become some of the leading environmentalists in the Denver area.
You can see their blog about all things Denver (though amusingly they have taken a Michigan turn) at:
http://www.thedrunkablog.blogspot.com/
or listed on CES’ Blogroll on your right. Speaking of the barf bag to your right!
Unfortunately this was emailed to me by a friend as a very long forward so I has no attribution but I am sure that someone at Saudi Air could tell you? Email them and see what they say.
We know that when save the birds we are saving ourselves. We also know that when we preserve a bird’s habitat we do right by the world. We know when we protect birds from extinction we give a gift to our children and our grand children. We also know that the birds evolved from Dinosaurs.

Thanks to John and Weird Bird goddess Susan who have worked tirelessly to allieviate Denver’s homeless problem. They blog about all things Denver and beyond at thedrunkablog listed in my Blog Log. Many happys to you.
And no I wasn’t talking about John McCain hahahaha. To hear about him and the CES Energy Policy pick in the Presidential election you’ll have to wait until next week
I have no idea who Joe Bageant is….oh wait I’ll be right back…OK … “he has been happy to live the life of a low-profile magazine and newspaper editor, although as a senior editor with Primedia Magazine Corp., publishers of over 300 American magazines,”
http://www.energygrid.com/society/ap-bageant.html
And though I do not think he runs the blog, he writes a lot on it. And man do I agree with him. I did not post the whole thing because well its long and loud. Great reading.

Are we there yet Pa? Nine Billion Little Feet on the Highway of the Damned by Joe Bageant | February 6, 2008 – 6:45am
John Raymond Castillo, age 81. Sunrise, January 14, 1917. Sunset, February 1, 2008. He leaves 21 children, 140 grandchildren and 302 great-grandchildren… ”The population of Belize? Officially it’s about 300,000. But if you include all the kids, it’s probably three million.” HOPKINS VILLAGE, BELIZE: The din of squealing, laughing children is the background white noise of the Third World. In Belize, as in most of the Third World, 45% of all people are under the age of 16. About a dozen of that 45% swarm around me as I cut my toenails under the mango tree. A few are picking on the mangy, quarreling dogs but the majority are drawn in close, giving advise about how to cut gnarly, old man type toenails: “Saw dem off wid a file” seems to be the consensus. What I see are children I help with homework and feed, and admonish about grades … unanxious and reasonably happy little members of the human race. They do not look much like a global migration or crushing planetary population pressure. Yet they are among the most incredible wave of both ever in human history. But oh, were it that bright a future. As adults with families, these kids won’t even have this spot on which to live at all, much less live as well as they live now. The resorts and condo rackets out of Canada, South Africa and the U.S. are buying up these small plots. Unschooled in western financial concepts and janked by the developers’ offers of more money than they have ever seen in their lives, locals sell. Usually they are broke within a year. In any case their semi-literate children will join the next generation’s issuance of dispossessed poverty stricken young adults headed for elsewhere. Just what the world does not need, not here in Central America, not in the Middle East, not in Latin America or the U.S. But that’s what we’ve got and that’s what we are going to get a lot more of. Population growth is the rhino in the playpen, the root cause of our approaching eco-disaster that that no one honestly talks about. On the left we get an onslaught of information about what we must and must not do to prevent climate change. Good Democrats get Al Gore’s advice, which somehow never mentions the corporations doing the damage. And all of America gets feel-good electric car ads — buy your way out of the problem, or at least your guilt if you happen to have any. But nowhere do we get an honest discussion about population growth. If you care to, argue that climate change may or may not destroy us. But uncontrolled population growth is guaranteed to do the job. As an old Idaho rancher told me, “You can’t run a hundred head of cattle on half an acre.” Most of the developed world remains clueless as to how all this will affect their own lives. But Americans in particular cannot get their head around the impact these billions will have on the lifestyles they are driven like rats in hell to sustain. About half of Americans… THE SCREAMING MAN INSIDE MY HEAD: LOOKY HERE BAGEANT, YOU PICKLED OLD GAS BAG. HALF OF AMERICANS LIVE UNDER THE GOOFBALL HALLUCINATION THEY CAN SEAL THE BORDERS WITH SILLY PUTTY, DRONE AIRCRAFT AND MACHINE GUNS. THE OTHER HALF, LIBERALS OVERDOSED ON PROZAC AND WHITE WINE, IS LINED UP LIKE DOCKSIDE WHORES WAVING AT THE INCOMING FLEET. “LET’S WELCOME THEM ALL! AMERICA IS THE LAND OF IMMIGRANTS SO HELL FUCKING YES, LET’EM ALL IN!” YEA, RIGHT. LET EVERYBODY LIVE LIKE A FUCKING HATIAN WHARF RAT IN THE NEW THIRD WORLD AMERICA. HELL, IT’S ALREADY STARTED. THEY’RE CROAKING 49 MILION AMERICANS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T COME UP WITH THE BLACKMAIL DOUGH FOR HEALTHCARE. THEY’RE KICKIN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OUT OF THEIR PLYWOOD NESTING BOXES BECAUSE THEY CAN’T MAKE THE MONTHLY NUT. AMERICA IS ALREADY A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WITH DRIVE THROUGH FEEDING BOXES. Meanwhile, both camps of a nation with no sense of history beyond its own state sponsored founding fathers mythology hasn’t the slightest notion of how population migrations from areas of scarcity to areas of plenty have shaped human history perhaps more than any other force, including war (war is just more dramatic when it happens and more entertaining to read about when it’s over.) The Vikings were a population shift from the limited arable land resources of the north around the British coast to Normandy (and then back to England by way of William the Conqueror, a Viking descendant.) The Huns, the Goths, the Vandals, the Irish in America, Chinese into Tibet … SCREAMING MAN: WELL BUBBA, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU IN CRAYONS. IT’S GETTING RIGHT BROWN OUT THERE IN HEARTLAND AMERICA. ALL THOSE SAWED-OFF LITTLE DARK HAIRED FUCKERS HAVEN’T COME UP HERE TO BE LAWN ORNAMENTS. AND SINCE THEY EAT AND SHIT ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT AS YOU DO, THERE’S GONNA BE SOME REDISTRIBUTION OF THE GOODIES. YOU’RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF AMERICAN BLUBBER PARKED IN LINE ALONGSIDE SALVADORANS WITH THEIR WHEELBARROWS FULL OF WORTHLESS GREENBACKS WAITING TO BUY BLACK BEANS AND MASA HARINA IN BULK – THEN HITCHING A RIDE HOME ON A FLATBED TRUCK LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD SOUTH OF LOREDO DOES. OR MAYBE TAKING THE CHICKEN COOP FIREWOOD EXPRESS SURPLUS SCHOOL BUS BACK TO THE SAVAGE ARMED SUBURBS. A LITTLE TIP FROM THE OLE SCREAMING MAN: IF THERE IS A BILLY GOAT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS, RIDE UP FRONT. IF THE DAMNED GOAT IS UP FRONT, RIDE ON THE ROOF. THERE IS USUALLY SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING UP THERE TO HANG ONTO. |
Actually on further inspection it appears that Smirking Monkey is a collection of blogs under the pavillion of Chimpnation
Thats right its the day that Susan Kay and I find the best bird images we can and plaster them all over the web for you to share…and ardant civil rights advocate John Martin comes along for the ride. Actually this post is one John “should” read cause its all about effectively shooting (bang bang watch out!) in the wild. You can see John’s blog about all things native american and Denverish at our links section.

Whoa does it make the landing or not?
By the way, this photograph was taken by the guy who claims to have sighted the Ivory Bill Woodpecker so now you know the rest of the story:
www.ibwfound.org
From the very first shallow pit coal mines to the monumental fraud that is nuclear generated electricity, the history of the energy markets is the same. It’s filled with, fraud, schemes, lies and a 1000 year history of wasted money and burst bubbles.
See for instance, There Will Be Blood
www.paramountvantage.com/blood
or any history of the energy biz:
http://austin.about.com/cs/bushbiographies/a/bush_background.htm
www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/
But when energy prices skyrocket like they are now the cheap hucksters ooze out of the woodwork. I am not even going to put this frauds web page up here for the curious. This was the first page up in a google search of Useful Energy Practices…Shame on google.
FOR THE RECORD YOU CAN NOT USE WATER IN A GASOLINE POWERED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE!

Not only that but according to MythBusters you can not do it by Electrolisis either. There is no such thing as free energy.

When you type in Hydrogen From Water, the first 4 pages are these type scams…SHAME on google again!
Everyone hates bloggers that make excuses BUT through my own ineptitude I thought I had posted this Friday. Instead all I had done was save it. So when I fired up the blog I found I had a saved page and instead of checking to see why, I deleted it. You know I had already posted it. Well then I went to “View Site” and there was nothing there for Friday!
Susan had been out arting me and since I posted a gross weird bird last Friday I thought I would make up for that. These are beautiful and weird birds as well by an Indian poet who has art displayed on 6 continents. I think he lives in New Zealand now.

And these are many weird birds.
As John Martin says, better late than never.
Now she’s up and walking around with a voracious appetite for anything you put in front of her. She spends hours outside (with her coat on) visiting her friends around the farm but it’s still too cold for her old bones to sleep out in the barn overnight.
