Why John McCain Must Win, and the Senate Must at Least Shift Towards Republicans

Really? Raping an eight year old girl so violently that her rectum protrudes into a tear in her vagina isn’t a cime deserving of the death penalty? Anthony Kennedy and the others in this minor majority may need to be impeached, because frankly, the injustice they did today rises to the level of a high crime against all that is decent and good.

I’ll be interested to learn how the D.C. gun ban case comes out, maybe tomorrow. Because if I ever have a daughter, I’m definitely going to want a gun (not that I’m anywhere near Washington, but overturning that ban would secure our Second Amendment rights nationwide pretty handily, I believe…).

Not that I’m anywhere near Massachusetts, either, but I’d sure love to put this guy out of work. Talk about lousy timing; it’s bad enough that he feels this way, and he deserves to suffer – financially, please; I’m not inciting any physical harm against anyone for something as minor as statements of stupid, morally bankrupt opinions – but to have this come to light just as we all learn how retarded some of our “intellectual” “superiors” can really be on this subject, well, sucks to be him.

On a related note, the first in an occasional series: Why Mohammedism is an inferior religion.

Some people will believe anything…

I just saw a post on another blog linking to some supposed announcement of a technology that would allow people to run cas n water. Not simply a hydrogen powered vehicle with water as the only emission, but where you would supposedly pour in a liter of water, and off you go for some little while.

Riiiiiiiiggghhhhhht. ‘Cuz that’s possible. Just like the car that gets better mileage by some reaction it supposedly has that releases hydrogen from water, then feeds that hydrogen into the combustion chamber. (There’s less wrong with this claim, and I would really be pretty thrilled if it worked, but I’ve got to say -my BS detectors were screaming really loudly when I read that article.)

Sorry, morons, but the laws of physics are still in place. You can’t get energy out of nowhere, and what’s more, there’s no such thing as a 100% efficient system. Even theoretical, best case situation of a Carnot engine, can never be 100% efficient, because otherwise you’d get no work out of it, and it would thus be useless. Enter the real world, where you get other losses from friction, waste heat, and other inefficiencies, and you lose even more. There’s a reason the patent office requires a functional example of perpetual motion machines be submitted before they’ll issue a patent for one.

Now, since it takes a LOT of electricity before water will break down into hydrogen and oxygen, and nowhere near as much comes out when you run it through a fuel cell (or burn it, for that matter), there has to be some source of energy in the system. They say there’s a chemical reaction that liberates the hydrogen, but it would have to consume a reactant of some sort – either directly in the process, or to energize (heat) the reaction chamber and get a catalyst going. And that energy has to come from somewhere, and given the current state of technology, that’s gonna be fossil fuels. I suppose maybe not on the alleged car itself, but somewhere up the line. There will have to be some sort of consumable other than water; it’s just basic science.

Mohammedan

Because it’s America, and I can.

And it’s fun.

Um, I suppose I should post *something*

So I keep having these ideas that seem like they would make great posts, but always while I’m in the middle of some other activity, and by the time I’m at the computer, it’s gone.

I guess I’ll have to start writing things down.

Also, I’ll need to start paying better attention to what I’m doing, so as to not put what’s intended as a new post up as a new page instead – like I just did with my first pass at this one.

Oops.
