Blogsboro reader, Hugh, sent me this link so I posted it to my day job blog with the title, Salvage America Reduces The Cost Of Gasoline.

Blogging is one of the many things I do at Salvage America (I'm the guy you're most likely to do business with if you happen by.) and my personal blog is what got me the job in the first place. Maybe I finally managed to do something right.

By the way, next week we'll have several bicycles that we saved from the crusher and repaired, available for sale-- cheap. 

Or why you'd best start thinking about buying American.

The folks the US Government is currently calling terrorists simply aren't very good at being terrorists. Their approach is all about grandstanding and saying, "Hey Ya'll, look at me!" as if they were children on the schoolyard. If I were intent on causing terror and killing Americans here's how I would do it.

For starters, imagine Pop Tarts being dropped into exploding toasters. A toaster is the perfect device to ignite even the simplest of bombs as it has electricity, heat and an unknowing victim to push down the handle just before it goes boom.

Or what about a television that blows up when you switch channels? Imagine a WalMart, Best Buy, or Circuit City showroom loaded with exploding televisions. A little harder to do than rigging an explosive toaster but far more effective.

What about arsenic laden imported foods? Strychnine tea, anyone? What if the terrorists launched a new food product laced with acids that burned those who tried the free samples at the grocery store? Are you aware of how much of what you eat in America is actually imported?

If I were going to hijack airplanes I'd fly them into petroleum tank farms like the Colonial Pipeline tank farm right here in Greensboro, North Carolina. Did you know that every drop of oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene and home heating oil that flows to Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and the whole of New England arrives by way of this one tank farm-- the largest on the east coast? If you think gas is high now-- imagine if over 1/2 of the nation's fuel supply were hit by crashing planes into tank farms.

There are hundreds of deadly toxins that your municipal water company be they private or municipal simply doesn't test for. Add any of those toxins and the death toll could be in the thousands before anyone figured out the cause.

What if the terrorists launched a new food product laced with acids that burned those who tried the free samples at the grocery store?

Or computers that go boom.

Historic Haiku

A Haiku for you,
a Haiku for me--
add together... history!

I just wanted to let my readers know that in considering me for Mayor of Greensboro in 2009, I am 100% in favor of returning to Greensboro's citizens the right to Protest Petitions.

It is simply wrong that Greensboro citizens and taxpayers do not have the same legal rights as every other citizen in every other city and every town in North Carolina. Discrimination based on the city of one's place of residence is just as wrong as any other form of discrimination and as long as North Carolina continues to deny Greensboro citizens their equal rights Greensboro will continue to suffer.

Might I remind you that Councilman Robbie Perkins continues to be in favor of denying Greensboro citizens their equal rights and has said so publicly. As Perkins has already been picked by the powers that be to be Greensboro's next mayor I thought that is something you'd like to know.

If you don't already understand what protest petitions are and how they apply to you I highly recommend you read the work of Keith Brown at Protest Petition In Greensboro.

And while I've got your attention, please don't forget that Robbie Perkins, our current Mayor Johnson and former Mayor Bobblehead Melvin were among those behind the Dam Scam.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming. 

Like myself. many question why the old sage of Confuseus.com would even bother to blog when so enlightened he wants for nothing. Today, Confuseus answers that very question.

Confuseus sez, "From time to time people ask Confuseus, why Confuseus blog? Because I can, that why Confuseus blog."

I guess I should have expected as much.

Mike J Baron will be appearing live at the Garage in Winston-Salem, North Carolina for their open mic night taking the stage at 8:45 PM. I wonder if Mike will sing about the Dam Scam?

I thought a few of my readers might be interested in my new day job and my day job blog at Salvage America-- Greensboro's leading recycler.
