Well, I've changed the site layout again. The home page now displays only short remarks. The longer posts are displayed on the Articles page. When a new article is posted on the Articles page a notice will be posted on the home page (this page). It will also show up in the recent articles list in the sidebar.

In the Washington Post Stan Cox tries to make a case against air conditioning. He thinks we should open our windows and use fans to keep us cool in order to save energy and avoid global warming. He also thinks we should cool off under water sprinklers in our yards. How many electric fans and water sprinklers does it take to equal the energy consumption of air conditioning?

Maxine Waters has added a requirement to the financial regulation bill for Czars who will ensure an equitable representation (read: quotas) of women and minorities in all financial agencies. I'm starting a movement to get more white players into the NBA and more fat and ugly people into fashion modeling.

The NAACP has adopted a resolution calling on the Tea Party to repudiate what they claim are racist elements within the movement. Do you think the NAACP recognizes the irony in their claim? At least the Tea Party is more subtle; they don't have "advancement of white people" in their name.

The Obamas have promoted their personal cook, Sam Kass, to a senior advisory position -- even though he hasn't yet lived 30 years. He will now be the senior policy adviser for health-food initiatives. At the same time, ObamaCare is requiring the establishment of electronic health records that will include the body mass index of all Americans. Is Kass to be the blubber czar?

NASCAR has started a push for diverse drivers. They want more races in their races. They also want more women chasing the men in their races. I'm starting a campaign to get more male hosts on The View.

AT&T is trying a new marketing approach. Yesterday I received an email message from them asking me to visit their recently remodeled AT&T store to experience the latest in communications technology -- in Three Rivers Michigan. I live in Florida. Today they invited me to visit their recently remodeled store in Angola. That's the Angola in Indiana, not the one in Africa, but I'm not much more likely to run out to Indiana or Michigan than to Africa for help with my communications technology needs. They haven't bothered to tell me about the brand new store they just built in my hometown. Perhaps they are assuming that I already know about it.

AT&T, you provide my mobile phone service, so you have my home address. Now what were you saying about technology?

President Obama hailed the 60 U.S. senators who voted to extend federal unemployment benefits Tuesday -- without paying for the $34 billion tab -- for standing on the side of "working families." Um, Mr President, wouldn't that be non-working families?

The libs are having a lot of fun with Sarah Palin's use of the non-word "refudiate." I don't know if she meant "refute" or "repudiate" -- or both. I think it can be a handy term if you want to both refute and repudiate something.

It was clearly a major gaffe, especially since it occurred in written form, but it still doesn't compare to Obama calling military corpsmen "corpse-men."

The Gulf oil spill was called a tragedy and an environmental and economic disaster. It certainly was a tragedy. Remember, eleven people lost their lives in the explosion. There was significant environmental and economic damage, but it's looking now like disaster is too strong a term to describe it.

However, the Obama Administration's overly hasty ban on deep-water drilling is shaping up to be the real economic disaster. Would Janet Napolitano call it a "man-caused disaster?"
