New York Times headline today: “U.S. Freezes Solar Energy Projects.” I’m sorry, is the oil crisis over? I thought it hit $140 yesterday. This ranks right up there with the law that prohibits the government from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to get lower drug prices for Medicare recipients.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
One sentence. 27 words. But nine of the most highly educated judges in America can’t agree on what it means. Amazing.“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
A group called the Presidential Memorial Commission in San Francisco is trying to get a sewage treatment plant named for George Bush. I get the joke, but these people should just let it go. All they’re doing is pouring gasoline on the cultural bonfire that I believe both John McCain and Barack Obama are sincerely trying to extinguish.
Don’t miss this: Many people have sent me their own favorite George Carlin lines this past week. They are all great. And HBO2 has been running all his old HBO specials all week -- I watched as much as I could. But this Saturday night on NBC, Saturday Night Live will rebroadcast the very first SNL, which Carlin hosted. I’m really looking forward to it.

Solar energy is just some stinking namby pamby liberal way of not standing up to what rightful belongs to Americans, all the oil in the world. A real American would just go take the damn oil and would not sit around and pray for a sunny day so they have heat.
You know Obama, if elected, will wear all of Jimmy Carter's old cardigans to send a message of how to stay warm.
Next thing they will want a bunch of windmills and Obama will be running around in wooden shoes like the Dutch.
Don't get me started on those insidious Dutch. First they kill all our elm trees and then they cut our doors in half. When are we going to stand up to these gouda eating SOB's?
Anyway, I agree that we should let Bush/Cheney years be relegated to the dunghill of history. Continually picking at that scab isn't going to do us any good and distracts people from the serious work that needs to be done.
Anthony Kennedy's ego must be uncontrollable at this stage. He could be the swing vote on whether the sun is going to come up tomorrow. It's amazing that the same court that granted habeus corpus rights to the Gitmo detainees could, only a week later, turn the nation's capitol into Dodge City. Although DC does have a helluva militia and it certainly needs regulating.
I have been doing a bit of research on my own. The word militia has a now archaic meaning; colon. Also, the word arm was a early American word for laxative. Perhaps Woody can confirm this.
Selecting people to sit on the Supreme Court is the gift that just keeps on giving.
Bird, Easy on the Dutch. They enbled us to go out on a cheap date.
Dutch ovens, Dutch treat, Dutch uncle -- Heinekin. where would we be without these people?
Least we forget New York City was the former Netherlands settlement of New Amsterdam. The mercantile nature of the city comes from the apostolic succession from the Dutch. They got as far west as current New Jersey, where they beat up the Swedish colony. The town fathers refused to waste their money building fortifications, thus it fell to the British, which was fine with them, trusting in free market capitalism.
Nobody here would dare stick a finger in a dike anymore. (George Carlin, are you listening in?)
Good points all. However, they still have to answer for our elm trees.
I was wondering who would resort to a dike joke. Finally, the Hankster stepped up to the plate.
I missed the dike joke completely. I guess it was a double-Dutch joke.
D, the spelling threw ya...dyke...
