Lots of Lol's Here
We've got lots of lol's this week.
First, Aliens exist! At least according to Paul Hellyer, a formerCanadian Minister of Defence (in the 1960s):
Jim Farley, Global VP of Marketing and Sales for Ford, stated that Ford knows when individuals driving their cars are speeding, and where they are when they're doing it! That's not a better idea from Ford.
Fracking is a threat...to Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries. Well, duh....
10 poker predictions for 2014.
News from California, where the high speed rail line looks like it will die a slow death this year. First, a court ruled that the state can't move forward with financing because the business plan has been invalidated. The judge ordered the rail authority's board to show where they will come up with the money for the funding. Second (noted in the same article), Republicans in Congress vow that there will be no more funding for the project. Given that the GOP controls the House, that dooms the project in the long-term. A New York Times article notes the comments of Joe Nation, a professor of public policy at Stanford: “Obamacare has leached over into this,” Mr. Nation said. “You have people saying, ‘The federal government that can’t build a website - how can we expect them to build a multibillion-dollar train?’ ”
The Times article also notes that an environmental review is mandated for the first 29-mile section which will likely delay the project.
Meanwhile, even New York is trying to poach business from California.
Does the cold wave mean anything pro-or-con for global warming? Of course not.
Democratic state senator fires a staffer...for hanging out with a Republican.
The IRS has a funding problem due to ObamaCare. There is no chance of the IRS's budget to be increased until the IRS scandal is resolved. Meanwhile, ObamaCare puts huge demands on the IRS, but the budget is what it is.
