Deathtrap 2000, and Twelve
Because the Smart Car™ is waaay too big:
Fold-up car of the future unveiled for Europe
That’s right: a car that folds up. I don’t know about y’all, but “folding” is something I look for in clothing, not a vehicle.
The “Hiriko,” the Basque word for “urban,” is an electric two-seater with no doors whose motor is located in the wheels and which folds up like a child’s collapsible buggy, or stroller, for easy parking.
With the motor in the wheels and only a lightweight plastic cover to shield the sole passenger, I can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong. However, I’m sure that the Europeans in charge of this deathtrap car of the future have that covered.
“European ideas usually are developed in the United States. This time an American idea is being made in Europe,” consortium spokesman Gorka Espiau told AFP.
See that? Who do you think will get sued when the first casualties begin to amass? Not the Basque companies. It is an American design, after all. They see it as a city-owned vehicle to rent out for use in congested areas, and as for the speed, it would be electronically set to the city speed limits.
What cracks me up, aside from knowing the mortality rates probably will be going up across Europe, is the fact that this vehicle is completely electric, and yet most of the cities to which it is destined are having power crises. And who will be paying for the electricity used for the little buggers? Why, just impose another tax hidden among the others, because the rent of the bug cart will be slated as revenue for the city.
I can’t wait to see what happens when this thing gets hit by a Ford truck. Shit… I can’t wait to see what happens when it gets hit by a Smart Car!!!
Buffetting a Need
Funny how the world works. By “the world” I mean politics, and by “works” I mean “screws”. Just last week the U. S. State Department recommended that the Keystone XL pipeline project be denied. Their reason for the denial was that there was not enough time to study the proposal by February 2i, 2012. Nevermind that the State Dept. “has been conducting a transparent, thorough, and rigorous review of TransCanada’s permit application for the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project” since 2008. The deadline is just too soon!! But as Newton said, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction:
Warren Buffett’s Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC is among U.S. and Canadian railroads that stand to benefit from the Obama administration’s decision to reject TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit.
I find it funny that Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett’s company, just happens to be centralized in Omaha, Nebraska, the very state where the envirowhackos have claimed the pipeline would destroy wetlands and agricultural productivity. As we all know, that’s the government’s job, not the pipeline’s. Oh, and if you think it’s about environmental issues, think again.
The rail option, though costlier, would lessen the environmental impact, such as a loss of wetlands and agricultural productivity, compared to the pipeline, according to the State Department analysis. Greenhouse gas emissions, however, would be worse.
So it’s ok to protect the wetlands from the evul Canuck pipeline, the study of which the State Dept. claims would take too long before the Obama Administration deadline, but not ok to protect it from greenhouse emissions that can suffocate it, right? I guess dealing with a railroad bottleneck effect, more pollution, and higher transportation costs is better than providing much needed job creation and income stability to Americans.
At least Mr. Buffett gets to profit. From the government. With our money.

Phone in Sunday
I was going to write a post for today, but find myself tired from partying with my sister at The Oasis in Austin last night, and further at my friends’ home until the wee hours of the morning. No, I didn’t get ripped, since I was designated driver, but suffice it to say I was in Austin which translated to Moonbat Central for Texas. I saw:
“Free Palestine!” bumper stickers.
“No Blood for Oil!” T-shirt, and one bumper sticker (my guess they are falling out of favor since the current administration is liberal).
More Longhorn clothing than should be acceptable. Ok, that’s a wee bit biased of me 
Actual longhorn horns sold by the side of the road, right next to someone selling PETA-approved hempwear.
And the coup de grace, a group of hippies in tie-dye, buffalo shoes, and John Lennon sunglasses, which they wore all night long.
Yeah, I’ll be going back. And next time, there will be video
Welcome to EUnuchistan
Well, in all fairness, we have known for a long time that the European Union is a one-world nation-state too weenie to fight the thuggery masquerading as political correctness. But the Commission has never, ever been this bold in its plans to establish a One World Order:
EU to ban cars from cities by 2050
Cars will be banned from London and all other cities across Europe under a draconian EU masterplan to cut CO2 emissions by 60 per cent over the next 40 years.
That’s right: they want to force Europeans into giving up their cars, and taking the rail. And even air travel will be restricted. The plan is to get rid of all conventional fuel cars in all cities. All, not just metro areas. Because by Gaia, you will bow down to your new priests’ commandments.
The Commission stressed that only conventionally fueled vehicles would be banned, but this is only the first boulder down the slippery slope. Hybrid and electric cars will also be affected, once the EC figures out (if they haven’t already) that plugging the little suckers in sockets drains precious solar and wind generated electricity, since coal will in all likely hood be banned by then.
In a rare bit of insight, Hugh Blandon, spokesman for the Association of British Drivers said, “If he wants to bring everywhere to a grinding halt and plunge us into the new dark age, he is on the right track. We have to keep things moving. The man is off his rocker.”

Not even the Smart Car, that wonderful feat of engineering which combined mode of transportation and last resting place, can save the EU now.
Hopefully, the UK is finding its bollocks.

You first, Georgie
I swear, just when you think the liberals can’t dig further to China, one comes out of the manure pile to prove me wrong. I’m referring to the ramblings writings scratchings droolings ramblings of George Monbiot, out favoritest moonbat. He writes in The Guardian (no linkage, as it makes me feel…. dirty):
Let’s Take The Housing Fight to Wealthy Owners With Empty Spare Rooms
Those who insist on under occupying their homes should be forced to pay for the priviledge, or take in a charity lodger.
No, that isn’t a bunch of typos. That was the byline for Georgie Moonbat’s article at The Guardian. Luckily, a reader at The Telegraph caught a screenshot. And why would you need a screenshot, you ask? Well, because someone at The Guardian woke up and scrubbed it, replacing it with this byline:
The hidden truth about our housing crisis is that it is driven by under-occupation
Wow…what a subtle change. From “force to pay for the priviledge” of actually OWNING your own home, to ZOMG!! “the hidden truth” and “under-occupation”. Seriously, this idiot is advocating that owners essentially give up what they have rightly earned to others who have not. And why?? Because Moonbat believes that housing is a common resource, like oh, I don’t know…. federal lands? public roads? public parks? Shit if I know. I’m not British. Or a Moonbat. In Georgie’s Moonbattery World, he believes, and I am NOT making this up, that it was a mistake to allow the Market, and the Market alone, to determine who gets what. Here in the USA, we call that opportunity. Georgie calls it thievery:
Either we ensure that it is used wisely and fairly, or we allow its distribution to become the starkest expression of inequality. The UK appears to have chosen the second option. We have allowed the market, and the market alone, to decide who gets what – which means that families in desperate need of bigger homes are crammed together in squalid conditions, while those who have more space than they know what to do with face neither economic nor social pressure to downsize
Ahhhh….fairness and equality. The buzzwords of the Leftards. Gawd, can’t y’all come up with something better??? This shit is beyond tired and old. Hell, this shit is fast becoming coprolitic.
So, you first, Georgie. Tell me where you live, and I promise that, for food and shelter, I will make sure you have fresh Depends available on your nightstand.
The Telegraph has a great piece on Moonie. And as usual, the comments are snarkilicious
IMPOTENT UPDATE:
Sun for Rent
Ok, it has been a very frustrating day for me. WordPress has decided I am to be banned at every turn, foiling my evil plans morning blogging habits. Frustrating as hell, but then again, I still have my sanity, unlike people of Spain. I read about this earlier, and thought maybe C Monster at Soylent Green had covered it, and maybe he did. I don’t recall. But still, this just goes to show the absolute stupidity of some people:
After billions of years the Sun finally has an owner — a woman from Spain’s soggy region of Galicia said Friday she had registered the star at a local notary public as being her property.
Yes, you read that right. A woman with a serious lack of nookie hobbies got the idea of claiming the Sun after she read about the American moron who claimed the Moon and some of the planets. And what does she plan to do now that she “owns” the Sun? Glad you asked!!
[Angeles] Duran, who lives in the town of Salvaterra do Mino, said she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the sun and give half of the proceeds to the Spanish government and 20 percent to the nation’s pension fund.
She would dedicate another 10 percent to research, another 10 percent to ending world hunger — and would keep the remaining 10 percent herself.
WTF is she going to do? Ask the guy who owns the Moon to eclipse the Sun until payment is rendered??
Payment due, suckers...
You know the sad part about this stunning froth of stupidity?? Some of the socialist morons in Spain will actually pay!!!!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Gore admits ethanol was bad policy
From Reuters via WattsUpWithThat.com:
“It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for (U.S.) first generation ethanol,” said Gore, speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank.
“First generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small.
“It’s hard once such a programme is put in place to deal with the lobbies that keep it going.”
“One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president.”
“The size, the percentage of corn particularly, which is now being (used for) first generation ethanol definitely has an impact on food prices.
“The competition with food prices is real.”
Emphasis mine.
Fuck you, Al Gore. And fuck all of you who backed him in this bullshit. For years we’ve been shouted down, called stupid and anti-science for saying the very things he’s now admitting.
There’s not one person in this country who this policy has not cost money. Why can’t we sue him for damages. This wasn’t a mistake, he wasn’t led astray by bad science. At one point he admits the fraud when he talks about getting in bed with Iowa farmers.
Cocksucker.
Sex Poodle High!!
Ok, I was just going to leave well enough alone with the Chuck Norris video, but damn…this is just too good to pass up, y’all!!!
Al Gore has had some tough breaks — like losing the presidency after getting more votes than the other guy — but the noted environmentalist achieved a singular honor last week, becoming the first vice president to have a Los Angeles school named after him.
And, fittingly, the school will be devoted to environmental themes.
But as in the 2000 election, there’s a catch. Critics say the campus’ location poses a long-term health risk to students and staff.
As if that wasn’t ironic enough, he plays second fiddle to none other than evirowacko Rachel Carson: The Carson- Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences. Am I the only one who notices a few little things, like naming another school after a live pol, and replacing the top soil after building the school, to the tune of $4 million? Or that class instruction will center around recycling, “research”, and beach clean-ups? Can you say “indoctrination“, boys and girls? YES, WE CAN!!!
You have to wonder about a principal who is excited about having an organic garden at his school, with allegedly contaminated soil, though. No links were harmed during this post, but they can be found through Drudge at the L.A. Times.
Booze in the News
From Fox News:
Scientists Develop Whiskey-Based Fuel for Cars
Yes, my friends, the question of whether whiskey is a Good Thing has been answered, once and for all.
Researchers [in Edinburgh, Scotland] found a formula to make the fuel from whiskey by-products.
They combined so-called pot ale -- the liquid from the copper stills distillery equipment -- and the spent grains used to make whiskey, also known as draff, to produce butanol.
The key word is by-products. No whiskey was harmed in the making of this fuel. Nor were starving people denied corn crops, as in the case with ethanol. On top of that, butanol can be combined with any gasoline blend, used by any unmodified vehicles, and has 25% more energy per unit volume. Ethanol FAIL!
And in tribute to this great achievement:
