Cat-friend vs. Dog-friend

Chemistry, explained with dogs

First Snow

well almost. The actual first snow was about three weeks ago, but we got so little coverage it really doesn't seem fair to count it. This weekend we got two inches in the back yard. Enough for the dogs to play in and seem satisfied.

More surgery for the little black dog

Kelly had to have a growth removed from her foot and her back. Her foot is all bandaged up for the next couple of weeks. Its covered in the photo with a news paper bag to keep the dressings dry. Its been snowing this evening so the yard is quite wet. I'll skip the back wound since its pretty nasty looking.  

Nothing but a hound dog!

First saw these at the Animation festival. The commercials were great, but seems that cat's wouldn't eat the food.

Why we need the EPA

A nasty, nasty place. Colorado is filled with signs like these due to its long history of mining. When I hear all the whining from industry about the EPA, I'm reminded of how much of our drinking water is threatened from sites like this one. We need more of the EPA, not less of it.

I blame the Cat!

More layoffs this week at work. Not because they weren't performing, but because congress can't do its job.

Americans Angry About Obamacare Tweet About 'Moving To Canada'

HuffPost Canada reports:

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama's health care plan on Thursday, in a 5-4 decision.

The President's health care plan, considered to be a key part of his domestic agenda, has been opposed by Republicans and many right-wing Americans.

Many Americans who were upset at the Supreme Court decision took to Twitter to voice their anger. Weirdly enough, many Americans tweeted about 'moving to Canada' to escape socialized medicine.

"I'm moving to Canada, the United States is entirely too socialist," tweets @wallyweldon.

What is even stranger is that so called Obamacare is basically a Republican plan. Unlike Canada's single payer-system,  it uses private insurance companies. That's the free market folks. It is health insurance reform, not health care reform.

The individual mandate was first put forth by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, with the stated mission to "formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense".

The mandate was supported by a majority of former Republican presidents (Nixon, Ford, and Daddy Bush), and is the cornerstone of Romney Care.

One has to ask, why was it ok when it was a Republican idea, but not now. Is it because we have a Democratic president? Is it Obama Derangement Syndrome? No one on the right has answered that question.

Ungrateful public doesn't appreciate being treated like Romney's staff

We have a number of poppy varieties in our front yard. They do extremely well here in the harsh sun and add intense color to the yard. The bees seem to love them too.

Is Capitalism a Sin?

Who knew Catholic's were such radicals. There here three interviews with christian leaders in the film. The above is the first. Couldn't find the second and third one's which quoted a MI Catholic Bishop and Priest. I did find this more "measured" Catholic response.

When there is question of defending the rights of individuals, the defenceless and the poor have a claim to special consideration. The richer class has many ways of shielding itself, and stands less in need of help from the State; whereas the mass of the poor have no resources of their own to fall back on, and must chiefly depend on the assistance of the State. It is for this reason that wage-earners, since they mostly belong to the latter class, should be specially cared for and protected by the Government.

Retro Friday: Soviet Concord

The Tupolev Tu-144 (Туполев Ту-144) was the world's first supersonic transport aircraft. It was built in USSR, and flew in 1968, one year before the Anglo-French Concorde.

While the Tupolev did closely resemble the Concorde (amid speculation that Soviet espionage was behind the resemblance) the two planes did differ in many technical aspects. The Concorde had better range, braking and engine control but the Tupolev had vastly superior aerodynamics. The Tupolev's wings also included two small retractable canard surfaces—for generating low-speed lift—that the Concorde lacked. It was also generally perceived as less stable in flight, especially at supersonic speeds, than its counterpart.
