Anybody seen this on The Onion?

The Pentagon has unveiled it's latest high-tech device... The Unmanned Pentagon Spokes-Drone.

Note this device's myriad capabilities like its "Factual Evidence Deflector System" and its "Blogospheric Disrupters".

My first adventures in home gardening came last summer, when I found myself taking up cooking more often and using heaps of cilantro. I'm a sucker for cilantro. Instead of heading out to pick up bundles at $2 and $3 a pop, I simply grabbed a nursery plant and did a transplant. I've had fresh cilantro ever since, and this year I've added basil, parsley, thyme, and mint to the mix.
Mojitos on demand.
While it's not much and consists only of herbs, I've also managed to pair up with some folks like my brother and a neighbor who lives back along the golf course. They grow mounds more, with the former tending to mostly veggies and the latter to mostly fruits.
It makes for great trading.
When the season changes, there is no reason to stop. Indoor setups can be purchased at reasonable prices, and you can stay fresh all year round. For folks in the South Jersey area, I would suggest visiting Tasty Harvest in Deptford, NJ. Ask for Chip. He'll take the time to tell you all you want to know about indoor setups and is quite a wealth of knowledge relating to gardening.

Get growin'!

It's high time that dipshits like froggy apologized to President Carter for having the prescience to suggest that we invest in, & sacrifice for, alternate sources of energy. His so-called "malaise speech"(in which the word "malaise" was never actually uttered)has been ridiculed by these morons ever since he gave it. I really don't understand the importance of the fact that he was wearing a cardigan while he was delivering it, but I imagine that's where froggy got his "wear a sweater campaign" nonsense from.

Here's an abbreviated version of that speech he gave on July 15, 1979.

In little more than two decades we've gone from a position of energy independence to one in which almost half the oil we use comes from foreign countries, at prices that are going through the roof. Our excessive dependence on OPEC has already taken a tremendous toll on our economy and our people. . . .

This intolerable dependence on foreign oil threatens our economic independence and the very security of our nation. The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them. . . .

I am tonight setting a clear goal for the energy policy of the United States. Beginning this moment, this nation will never use more foreign oil than we did in 1977 -- never. From now on, every new addition to our demand for energy will be met from our own production and our own conservation. The generation-long growth in our dependence on foreign oil will be stopped dead in its tracks right now and then reversed as we move through the 1980s, for I am tonight setting the further goal of cutting our dependence on foreign oil by one-half by the end of the next decade -- a saving of over 4-1/2 million barrels of imported oil per day. . . .

To give us energy security, I am asking for the most massive peacetime commitment of funds and resources in our nation's history to develop America's own alternative sources of fuel --from coal, from oil shale, from plant products for gasohol, from unconventional gas, from the sun. . . .

I propose the creation of an energy security corporation to lead this effort to replace 2-1/2 million barrels of imported oil per day by 1990. The corporation I will issue up to $5 billion in energy bonds, and I especially want them to be in small denominations so that average Americans can invest directly in America's energy security. . . .

These efforts will cost money, a lot of money, and that is why Congress must enact the windfall profits tax without delay. It will be money well spent. Unlike the billions of dollars that we ship to foreign countries to pay for foreign oil, these funds will be paid by Americans to Americans. These funds will go to fight, not to increase, inflation and unemployment. . . .

To make absolutely certain that nothing stands in the way of achieving these goals, I will urge Congress to create an energy mobilization board which, like the War Production Board in World War II, will have the responsibility and authority to cut through the red tape, the delays, and the endless roadblocks to completing key energy projects. . . .

I'm proposing a bold conservation program to involve every state, county, and city and every average American in our energy battle. This effort will permit you to build conservation into your homes and your lives at a cost you can afford. . . .

Our nation must be fair to the poorest among us, so we will increase aid to needy Americans to cope with rising energy prices. We often think of conservation only in terms of sacrifice. In fact, it is the most painless and immediate way of rebuilding our nation's strength. Every gallon of oil each one of us saves is a new form of production. It gives us more freedom, more confidence, that much more control over our own lives. . . .

So, the solution of our energy crisis can also help us to conquer the crisis of the spirit in our country. It can rekindle our sense of unity, our confidence in the future, and give our nation and all of us individually a new sense of purpose. I do not promise you that this struggle for freedom will be easy. I do not promise a quick way out of our nation's problems, when the truth is that the only way out is an all-out effort. What I do promise you is that I will lead our fight, and I will enforce fairness in our struggle, and I will ensure honesty. And above all, I will act. We can manage the short-term shortages more effectively and we will, but there are no short-term solutions to our long-range problems. There is simply no way to avoid sacrifice.

Idiots like froggy should be ashamed of themselves for mocking a man whose only "fault" in this instance was having the temerity to speak the truth.
