I wanted to wait until the 4th… the most patriotic of holidays but since there have been rumors I thought I would make it official.
The Coolest Thing Ever- R2D2…Cake!
The ONLY thing that would make this cake cooler is if it were blue. Check out the construction pics (link) complete with Rice Crispy treat legs.

Group wants Wi-Fi banned from public buildings
A group in Santa Fe says the city is discriminating against them because they say that they’re allergic to the wireless Internet signal. And now they want Wi-Fi banned from public buildings. (link)
Here’s a suggestion from Wikipedia: A tin foil hat is a piece of headgear made from one or more sheets of tin foil, aluminum foil or similar material. In theory, people wear the hats in the belief that they act to shield the brain from such influences as electromagnetic fields, or against alien interference, mind control and mind reading (link).
Can you say pending lawsuit? ~PAK
Quote of the Week 5/16
“And quit bringing up our forefathers and saying they were civil libertarians. Our founding fathers would have never tolerated any of this crap. For God’s sake, they were blowing peoples’ heads off because they put a tax on their breakfast beverage. And it wasn’t even coffee.”
Dennis Miller
The Gas Tax Holiday?
I was a bit concerned that gas wasn’t going to get to $4 a gallon by Memorial Day. Alas, a ray of hope still remains… $.18 to go! I just don’t think the local gas stations are applying themselves.
Am I supposed to believe that gas prices are going to actually drop by $.18 a gallon if the Gas Tax Holiday goes through? Let’s say it does that’s <$4.00 per a tank that cost $70.
I think what is more likely is that prices will stay the same and oil companies will be pocketing the the tax… So, who is the holiday for?
West Virginia Presidential Primary
When my ancestors first immigrated from Germany to the United States they settled in what is now Braxton County, West Virginia.
Last night when I saw this I was ashamed…
…and so should be West Virginia.
I have yet to make up my mind as to whom I will vote for in November. Honestly, the candidate I would have voted for didn’t run (though I have seen him named as a potential VP) and the person I voted for in the Washington primary has dropped out.
When the election comes I will probably consider voting record, leadership qualifications and do I believe they will not make a good President. Not:
Race… “Those people scare me”, you people of West Virginia scare me!
Name… Hussein? Did you actually say you didn’t vote for Obama because his middle name is the same as a deposed dictator that was hanged? I guess I am lucky nobody has put 2 and 2 together and linked me with Alfred Rosenberg (link)
