“He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.
I know. The trapper keeper line was when I first started laughing.
Very good.
Look at this:
That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks’s mind. “I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.” In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama’s The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was “Run, Barack, Run.”
That’s just ghey. I’m sorry but “hoop, they it iss.”
I wonder what sartorial detail and/or badge of privileged elite upbringing did it for Chris “Rara Avis” Buckley. Maybe the jaunty, elegant manner in which he converted payoffs from Tony Rezko into a fashionable home.
And the comments are a little on the steamy side. But hey, you write stuff like this, that’s what you’re gonna get.
Solar Roads: Our Energy Solution? Solar Roadways
The Department of Energy just gave $100,000 to upstart company Solar Roadways, to develop 12-by-12-foot solar panels, dubbed “Solar Roads,” that can be embedded into roads, pumping power into the grid. The panels may also feature LED road warnings and built-in heating elements that could prevent roads from freezing.
Each Solar Road panel can develop around 7.6 kwh of power each day, and each costs around $7,000. If widely adopted, they could realistically wean the US off fossil fuels: a mile-long stretch of four-lane highway could take 500 homes off the grid. If the entire US Interstate system made use of the panels, energy would no longer be a concern for the country.
In addition, every Solar Road panel has its own microprocessor and energy management system, so if one gives out, the rest are not borked. Materials-wise, the top layer is described as translucent and high-strength. Inhabitat says it’s glass, which seems odd, especially since Solar Roadways claims the surface provides excellent traction. The base layer under the solar panel routes the power, as well as data utilities (TV, phone, Internet) to homes and power companies.
I could see something like this on hot, hot, desolate interstate 5 in CA.

I’ve heard of this. I think it’s a great idea. But, 7k/panel is way too much. 12×12 is too small to get that much for it.

By definition, there is no such thing as an Obama conservative.
If you support Obama you are not a conservative.
If you are a conservative, Obama stands in opposition to everything you believe in.
Where he pretends to be bipartisan and challenge the left wing, it is 1) rare and 2) in those cases only to move in the stalinist, anti-libertarian direction.
I am an admirer of a particularly clear-thinking Roman emperor.
I was Aurelius on some previous blogs including PP, then when I came over here the handle was taken on wordpress… so I put an X on the end…
Guess it was such a cool idea some fine young fellow beat me to it on myspace.
Well, I’ll never have a myspace page, so he can have the run of that place. But if he comes over here, there’s gonna be a rumble! And he better like Sarah Palin.
“But, David, honey, he’s a Marxist. He’s a would-be dictator. And everything he says is a lie.”
Brooks “But Yahoo, I hear he’s really hung. You know what they say: once you go black …. God, I hate Sarah Palin. She’s hot enough to make gays go straight.?
No problem. It is most excellent! I actually did not plan on getting online today, but since I was able to, it was easier for me to spot (the other posters know I lag at approving posts ). You have an email btw.

Hey David: Try to maintain control of yourself.
You could put me in a room with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and I’d be a stuttering fool. But I still wouldn’t be THIS bad.

I was hoping he’d mention Matthews, and Buckley:

Don’t think so. He does not use the “beclowning” term enough, and does not argue with trolls enough, either…
[14]

Huh? Is this there something I’m missing?

Which brings me to my next point- there is great need for a sarcasm font.

OK, sorry. I got the link from an email and I’m not familiar with the source web site. I would hate to link a KKK front group by mistake or something.
[18]
Lol. I mean pops, come on, easy with the cursing, but yeah, that’s funny….
Lol. I vomited in Kentucky once. 1994. Wasn’t drunk, wasn’t sick. Just had to pull over and spew.

I miss TheAce– he really enjoyed his trollwork.
Like it wasn’t a job, but more like a hobby, like flyfishing.

Flaming liberal that is.

Brooks wants to be part of the “New Conservative” movement.
It doesn’t matter what he actually believes; from the far right to the far left–just as long as people call him “Conservative.”
He probably reveled in being called “cool” in high school, too.

Anybody know where Ace is, or where he is posting? It would be nice to get him over here.

David Brooks reminds me of a RINO congressman.
