I’m actually beginning to enjoy the “progressive” penchant for playing the blame game. They can always find a way to tie any event to MMGW. But here’s a new twist:

At issue was whether the EPA had the necessary legal authority [to regulate CO2]. The EPA’s actions were spurred by a 2007 Supreme Court decision that called on the agency to determine if carbon emissions were subject to the Clean Air Act. The EPA determined that they were and moved ahead with its agenda.

The Republican-controlled congress is already working on reining in the EPA to keep them from legislating by regulation. In the meantime Congressman Ed Markey (D-Mass) managed to bring al Qaeda into the mix:

Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., went the furthest, arguing that limiting the EPA would empower Al-Qaida by keeping the U.S. dependent on foreign oil.

Forgetting for a moment that it has been Democrat roadblocks to domestic drilling that has helped keep the U.S. dependent of foreign oil, Republicans joined in the fun and sarcastically lobbed their own softballs at Ms. Jackson:

“Thank you, madam administrator. Do you like puppies?” he asked Jackson.

So far, we have successfully “google bombed” LST, as well as this site with two gay bears wearing clown suits singing show tunes.
I can’t help but wonder how many mentions of “I cut my teeth on a Wang” will be required to elevate Hammie’s couch to the #1 search result for that phrase too.

I used to frequently visit a client that had systems from my company as well as from Wang. The Wang tech was female, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack.
We got to know each others equipment very well.

It all started when she came into the office and said:
“I’m here to check out your Wang.”

I worked for a company that remanufactured ink jet cartridges such as the HPs with their integrated print head. We also made aftermarket cartridges for Epson and Canon. I personally always liked the HP because it held the most ink, 60 mL, and it had an integrated printhead. The Epson’s and Canon’s print head received their ink from a separate… Read more »

I was surprised to find that my new HP has headless ink cartridges. That was the reason I had bought my deceased Canon.
When researching for my new purchase, I read alot of negative comments from long time Canon owners about their new products.

‘Bout printers, I’ve had several HP’s but hated paying out the A$$ for ink. The HP is by far the most rugged. A friend recommended a Canon with six ink cartridges, the ink was cheaper than the HP’s because the HP’s have the printer head built into the cartridge, but the down side is that the Canon WILL clog up… Read more »

As per printer recommendations, we use color quite often. We have to print utility maps for all of our jobs, and it’s important to be able to tell the blue lines (water mains) from red lines (sewer mains) and green lines (storm water). We sometimes also use aerial shots of the work area. I like the laser printer idea for… Read more »
