Liposuction fat = biodiesel  is a  cosmic breakthrough!

At last, at long last, we've found a use  for all those  activists,  preachers, screechers, crusaders, planners, uplifters; the leftover pop stars, mega-nannies and  act-out neurotics, the commissars masquerading as professors, lawyers and  lawmakers -- in short,  all the professional pains in the neck who are hell-bent on giving orders to the rest of us.  Hasn't their tireless " compassion" made most of them affluent? And isn't Obama's New Order all about making rich people contribute their fair share AND helping the environment by decreasing oil consumption?

We won't sink to the point of  eating Soylent Green -- instead we'll  fill our tanks with Soylent High-test, made from the high income "contributors" we all know and love. A two-fer, and an "alternative energy source" that for the first time,  will make us proud of our country.

And best of all, they've already set the legal groundwork for it. Just call it a full-term abortion, and turn on the machines!

If they object, remind them "it's for the children"...

THE THAW
Re: James Bowman's Perma Frost:

In my opinion, President Nixon was a brilliant foreign policy leader. Naturally, his many achievements are swept under the rug by the hate-mongers on the left. "No More Vietnams" and "RN," The Memoirs of Richard Nixon, should be required reading for Political Science students. Johnson's atrocious handling of Vietnam is overlooked by the media, while President Nixon is vilified.

As far as Watergate is concerned, President Nixon was overwhelmingly re-elected in 1972, five months AFTER the break-in became public knowledge. The Media and the Democrats smelled blood and went after President Nixon in a frenzy. One book that proves the double standard is Victor Lasky's "It Didn't Start With Watergate." The abuses perpetrated by previous administrations are astounding. However, with the leftist control of the mainstream media, these abuses are given a free pass. Personally, I feel that the mistreatment of President Nixon is a huge injustice to him and his family. High School and college textbooks are nothing but garbage when it comes to American history and civics. Hopefully, someday honest, hard-working professors will write the truth instead of the liberal fiction being written today.

THE CONSERVATIVE ONE

Did any of us guess twenty years ago
That from the collapse of the GOP would grow
The conservative leader “we’ve been waiting for,”
That our old friend Rush would settle the score

For the millions of us who have waited so long,
Knowing our message had turned so wrong,
But the new Reagan has been here all along.
It’s time for a new American song.

Even when we were not yet aware,
Ronaldus Magnus himself named his heir.
