Ok, I’ve been gone for awhile…as you know Obama has won the Democratic nomination but everyone is still acting as if it is still going on.  So I’m waiting for the real contest…defeating McCain.  There is a story, however, that has caused me to come back here and post.  My wife just told me that a friend told her of this story.  That a school teacher did a 30 second magic trick in front of class and was fired for “wizardry.”  I thought there is no way that happened.  Well I was wrong.  Here’s a local article on the story.  Here’s some news reports:

The comment section in the local story has people leaving names, phone numbers, and email addresses to reach the school system and tell them how ridiculous this is. Have fun.

Rush Limbaugh on his radio show yesterday declared trees give off more carbon dioxide than cars.  He mentioned that President Reagan declared the same thing and was ridiculed for it.  Why Rush Limbaugh didn’t take that as a sign to look up why President Reagan was ridiculed for it I don’t know.  Oh…actually yes I do.  He’s an idiot who will say anything to try and prove his point even if it’s wrong.  Apparently Rush Limbaugh doesn’t know what photosynthesis is.  Trees absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen which keeps us alive. 

Rush Limbaugh went on to say that he uses common sense over science to determine that global warming isn’t caused by human activity and isn’t a threat to us.  He believes that it’s common sense that Earth is God’s creation and therefore can’t be destroyed by men.  He called Christians who believe that we should be good stewards of the earth evangelical marxists.  Can anyone be more ignorant or wrong than Rush Limbaugh and the people that choose to believe him?

That’s why we are voting for change.  That’s why we are supporting Obama.

Is John McCain lying or having a senior moment?

I bought Al’s books, I listened to Al’s radio show, and if I had the chance I’d vote for Al to be my senator.  Here’s Al on the campaign trail.

AP has the story.  Apparently the Clinton’s released their 2000 through 2006 tax returns revealing an income during that time of over $100 million.  So apparently Hillary can self finance her campaign easily and $5 million is just a drop in the bucket to her.  The disturbing part is that she refuses to release her 2007 tax return which makes me wonder what she is hiding in her 2007 return.  Obviously the 2000 through 2006 release is a smoke screen to allow her to say she released them and it was done in April when everyone should have filed their return.  She has, however, requested an extension so she doesn’t have to file her 2007 returns and release them to the public.  Excerpt from the AP article:

The campaign released tax returns from 2000 through 2006 and gave highlights from their 2007 return. The Clintons have asked for an extension for filing their 2007 tax returns, citing the dissolution of a blind trust last year.

This means Hillary will be able to hide her and Bill’s 2007 tax returns well past the April 15th filing deadline and well past the next few primaries.  Sign the petition and demand that Hillary file and release her and Bill’s 2007 tax returns.

I was shopping around today for a nutritious cereal.  Something low in calories without a lot of fat and sugar.  After comparing several cereals including Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Special K, Pops, Cheerios, Total, and Honey Nut Cheerios I noticed that the Cheerios brand by General Mills was the only cereal from the ones I looked at that said its serving size is 28g.  All the other types of cereals I looked at had their serving size as 31g.  That means Cheerios nutritional facts will always be artificially lower than their competitors and I have no doubt that General Mills is aware of this.

Comparing the nutritional facts of Cheerios with their competitors is like comparing apples to oranges.  They’re not the same.  To make the comparison from apples to apples you’d have to divide every number in the Cheerios nutritional facts by 28 to get the number per gram (such as number of calories per gram) and then multiply all the results by 31 to find out that number per 31g.  General Mills is obviously hoping you won’t go through all the trouble, or you won’t notice the gram difference, and compare their orange to all the other apples and be fooled by the numbers.  I still don’t know how many calories there are per 31g of Cheerios but I do know that number for Special K, Total, etc. because it is on their boxes.

This is a very dishonest practice by General Mills and I’m recommending that no one purchase a General Mills cereal until they fix this discrepancy and make their serving sizes 31g just like their competitors do.
