Seriously who is dumb enough to change their oil every 3,000 miles. Just a dumb idea.

Instapundit notes that several ivy league schools are seeing highest return on their endowments in years. He suggests taxing those gains as heavily as liberal want to tax corporate gains. Anything to infrastructure people out of poverty.

Looks like France might be getting involved in Iraq. Maybe all of Europe wasn’t so mad at the US, but instead the groups of people mad at Bush were the only one’s covered by a press that, was also upset at Bush. Perhaps this led to a false perception about Europe. A perception that can no longer hold, in large part due to the people in those countries voting in politicians much more in sync with conservative politics.

Huh, who would of thought?

In the morning. Tolerating as a stated political policy is arguably one of the dumbest decision ever made by a political party EVER.

A bank in Australia made some kind of error resulting in 10 million dollars being transfered to a couple’s account. When the bank asked for the money back the coupled refused. I believe that this couple is in its full rights to keep the money. Although if this were to happen to me I doubt i would hold on to the full amount. Clearly though, to protect banks, customers interested in doing business with them should be legally obligated to inform the bank how they will behave in every single conceivable contingency, such as instances when the bank mistakenly transfers money over to that customer’s account. Perhaps customers could prepare some kind of pamphlet detailing all the potential things they might do while having an account open with that bank.

As this case proves, customers will deceive banks into thinking they are good Samaritans just so they can take advantage of clerical errors. Customers by their very nature only care about saving money. By forcing customers to fully disclose how they will behave in every conceivable contingency with that bank, banks are being given the full information needed to decide if they want to do business with this customer. Plus it prevents the customer from being able to lie and deceive to trick the bank into opening an account that in the end harms the bank.

I don’t know about you, but it seems reasonable to require customers to provide extensive information regarding their treatment of a product so that the company has what it needs to make an informed decision about whether to complete the transaction with that customer. If companies have to have onerous labeling to inform people that drinking eight red bulls in 23 seconds is harmful, then customers, prior to completion of transaction, should have to fully inform the company their intention to drink eight red bulls in 23 seconds. Fair is fair.

And more information about it’s proper use.

Make me laugh every time.

UPDATE: Thanks go to Diatribe.

Still makes me laugh every time.

I just watched it again. Damn thats is so funny.

Darwin I found your candidate for the 2009 presidential election.

are here. And it ain’t pretty.

A few weeks ago, the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Marlo Lewis published an article opposing mandatory limits on carbon-dioxide emissions, arguing that Congress should not impose caps until the technology exists to produce energy that doesn’t depend on carbon dioxide. In response to Lewis’s reasonable piece, the president of the American Council on Renewable Energy, Michael Eckhart, issued a threat:

“Take this warning from me, Marlo. It is my intention to destroy your career as a liar. If you produce one more editorial against climate change, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity. I will call you a liar and charlatan to the Harvard community of which you and I are members. I will call you out as a man who has been bought by Corporate America.”

It has been my experience that more people defend The Truth the less likely it is true. It was an extremely bad idea for scientists to vote on global warming’s existence. It has and will continue to lead to yet more moral heavy handedness.

This jackass drank eight red bulls, had his heart stop, almost died, and now is demanding that Red Bull changing their packaging despite the fact that labels already had warning labels. Should the company be responsisble and must they change their labeling.

If you ask me, if you are to dumb to not know consuming that much caffeine in a short amount of time is harmful, no amount of labeling will ever help you.
