interesting political .sig
On the Democratic side, you have a bytch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, trying to defeat a lawyer who is married to a bytch who is a
lawyer.
On the other side, you have a true war hero married to an extremely wealthy woman with large breasts who owns a beer distributorship.
Is there a contest here?

Biofuels not cost effective
This OECD report criticizes subsidy of biofuels. Considering the earlier link about the USA subsidizing the export of biodiesel instead of using it domestically, this is good news. Maybe some congressman could look into it? I think my congressmember is Wm Jefferson, soon going to trial.

What does Microsoft want from Yahoo?
The link is to a great article about a patent that Yahoo owns, called the
361 patent. Yahoo bought Overture paid search and got a patent covering the whole nasty business of paying for search result placement.

Louisiana's science revolution?
Djes, Louisiana has passed a law allowing school boards to provide
supplemental materials for science classes. "including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming, and human cloning."
The inspiration seems to be some intelligent design wackos. May I suggest that Biblical mathematics be taught in math classes? Like, pi is equal to 3, not the egyptian/greek 22/7 or that decimal horror, 3.14159....
Or possibly evidence that the sun orbits the earth? There is ample testimony to this fact in the ancient testaments. Let's get supplementing!

Exporting american bio-diesel?
I'd seen mention of this before, but now it really gets my attention. American bio-diesel producers are exporting. To Europe. With USA tax subsidies. Why aren't they selling it here? Blending it here? Diesel is almost $5 a gallon in Louisiana and we are exporting subsidized bio diesel to Europe? This is pretty outragous and a trade violation. And we don't allow Brazilian ethanol to be imported to compete with our corn/maize ethanol. Brazilian sugar cane ethanol is the worlds cheapest. Comparative advantage. We don't believe in capitalism unless it means subjecting other countries to our dominance.
Here is another post on
re-exporting south american biodiesel with a USA subsidy added. Incredible.

how many freewheelin' roads?
Today's Fresh Air was the story of the cover art for Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The wonderful woman on the cover with Dylan, that is. Suze Rotolo. I'd never heard who she was before. It has been 45 years and I'd never heard her name. We used to talk about her and no one knew if her identity was public knowledge. Was she an actual friend? Or just a cover shoot model?
So, she has written a book.
A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties. Good. I guess it is time to read such a memoir. That cover sure looked romantic to me in the 60's. Lesse, I was a sophomore in Provo High School when I bought that album. We put things on layaway back then. Pay for part of it, come back later when you could afford to pay the rest. A record album was a layaway item. It had been out a while when I bought it. I think I listened to Highway 61 Revisited in the booth of the record store in Provo.
Bob Dylan was a comfort to a misfit in a place like Provo, Utah.
