Global Warming Update

As carbon dioxide makes up 0.028% of the earth’s atmosphere, 95% of carbon dioxide is generated by sources other than man, and at most we might be able to decrease our generation of this gas by perhaps 5%, all of this man-made Global Warming is about 0.00007% of the earth’s atmosphere.

I could tell that the heating of the earth is now accelerating, in accordance with Global Warming theory, as I drove through a snow storm yesterday. Wait, do you mean that the data actually shows that the earth is cooling? OK, let’s call it ‘Climate Change’. Or better yet:

CLIMATE CHAOS. I would like my grant money now please.

Set PPI = $1.53

5 lb Part Skim Mozzarella: $9.03 (a)
102 oz tomatoes: $2.63 (b)
25 lb flour: $9.78 (c)
720 Slice of Pepperoni: $8.32 (d)

Enter the PPI equation:

PPI = $0.01 + (a)/10 + ((b)/24)(2) + (c)/50 + (d)/40; or

PPI = $0.01 + $0.90 + $0.22 + $0.20 + $0.21; thus

Set PPI = $1.53, up from $1.52.

This is an all-time high since the PPI was established, but still lower than it was last summer. This data does not support the reports that prices dropped in March. In fact, it indicates the opposite. History:

07FEB: $1.52
13FEB: $1.47
02MAR: $1.45
14APR: $1.52

Set PPI = $1.52

5 lb Part Skim Mozzarella: $8.86 (a)
102 oz tomatoes: $2.63 (b)
25 lb flour: $9.78 (c)
720 Slice of Pepperoni: $8.32 (d)

Enter the PPI equation:

PPI = $0.01 + (a)/10 + ((b)/24)(2) + (c)/50 + (d)/40; or

PPI = $0.01 + $0.89 + $0.22 + $0.20 + $0.21; thus

Set PPI = $1.52, up from $1.45.

The PPI has returned to the level it was at when tracking first began, and is up 5% in a little over a month. History:

07FEB: $1.52
13FEB: $1.47
02MAR: $1.45

How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?

Submitted for the record: The Obama Scan Index (OSI) hit an all time high of 23 today as he talked about the banks. This means that he could be either nervous or angry. I don’t think that anybody has told the President that Geithner oversaw AIG for years.

Re: Nobody here supervised AIG, uhh, except for, uh, my choice for Treasury Secretary, standing to my right.

Think Globally, Act Locally


Brick Oven has been my evening therapy for going on two years now. I have gotten a lot out of writing these nightly posts. They allow me to organize my thoughts, compel me to research things which I would otherwise not research, and interact with a small, but very sharp group of people who correct me when I am wrong.

And if I ever do write that book, we have developed a pretty good chronology of the crooks who have brought us to this point.

I have recently been drawn to local interactions, loosely aligned with Glenn Beck’s initiative, and, for now, this is where my focus lies. I recommend Meetup.com for those who want to get involved. For $72/6 months, you can set up your own meeting group, and preach away. People sign up and listen, they even show up to your house I hear. So I am shifting away from my think globally phase to my act locally phase.

I will still sign back in to document what I think is worthy to record, but my nightly rants will be posted elsewhere. I truly am thankful to those who have chosen to contribute to the content of Brick Oven. Keep checking back periodically for the calling all cars post. If we get there, it will come.

I will not provide an electronic link to my new forum, because I want to leave Brick Oven up, and because of the current PC climate. If anyone wants to hear me blather away on a regular basis, you should be able to find me.

Twenty Year Olds

I came across two 20-year old males today. The family went to see one fly into town this afternoon. His plane was an hour late and we milled around with his family and probably seventy other people. As word that his plane landed came, we all formed two lines, and people raised their flags. I didn’t bring a flag, just a thank you note and a small gift.

Someone said, ‘there he is’, and there he was in dress uniform, at the top of the escalator. As he came down, the airport erupted with applause. He seemed taken aback and awkwardly clapped along. Then he was received by his family. His uniform was inspection ready, he had perfect posture, and he was a very powerful man. He was seriously injured and had spent the last nine months in the hospital.

As I gave him our letter, I noticed a very new tattoo on his neck, which seemed odd for such a clean-cut man. I do not know what this was for but suspect that it was a memorial. His eyes were blue and appeared dilated. He had the thousand yard stare, and told me thank you in a very professional voice.

The other one has adopted a feminine voice and is giggling with some girls behind me.

Glenn Beck

I went to a Glenn Beck gathering tonight, and highly recommend being a part of the effort. There was a probably 1000 s.f. room set aside from the bar, and it filled up. They moved us into the concert hall next door. I met a contractor, a Marine, a retired Marine, and some other guys who I don’t know what they do. There was a cross-section of young and old.

There were probably 50% women, which surprised me. Many of them were attractive, which is a good sign for any political movement. I thought Glenn’s show was OK, but many there were very taken by it. I am now part of a large email group, which I am looking forward to working with, educating, and expanding.

Chuck Norris’ wife brought up walking on Washington, which was dumb. But I do think that Glenn’s strategy is very good. He wrapped himself in the military. The military’s code of honor is very similar to Glenn’s manifesto. The other thing Glenn accomplished tonight is that the government can no longer silence him, without a revolt.

Well done Glenn Beck.
