Green Energy is BS
Hold your oxen just a minute — before you start cussing me for denigrating “green” energy, you might want to read beyond the headline, and beyond this line…

Hydroelectric is damn good, if you ask me. And fission. You can’t get much greener than nuclear green. And don’t forget about natural gas. Even though it ain’t got no color, it’s more green than coal and oil — especially when it comes from a bovine’s behind.
No Benefit Means No Benefits
The theory behind student loans and grants is that an educated populace improves the social and economic health of a country.
Veteran’s Administration hospitals and programs exist because it makes sense to take care of the health and well-being of the men and women who put their lives on the line to serve and protect our nation.

A grandmother of ten fired a warning shot and then held a would-be burglar at gunpoint in her home until police arrived and arrested him. She called police when her back door was kicked in. “I told him I was armed. He kept coming, so I started backing up,” she said.
