Based on my concern that a Predator used in North Dakota was an Air Force asset (which later, I found isn’t, but my concerns still remain in the face of NDAA 2011…).
After finding out that McDonald’s, and indeed EVERY SINGLE RESTAURANT as well as most businesses in CA; along with many companies OUTSIDE of CA that have to comply with labeling for CA, I figured I’d cartoon Prop 65 to its ultimate logical end. For all its state funded ‘higher education’ and the billions (wasted) in public education, Californians are sure stupid if they need a label to figure out that eating too much fast food is bad for your health.
This is being published in honor of an organization in our community dedicated to stalking peoples chimney pipes. They go around town, hunting for homes with outdoor boilers or fireplaces and wait to take pictures until there is a plume of smoke coming out. Sure, it doesn’t sound bad, until you understand that the smoke is within the first hour of adding fuel. This means they sit and wait, hence the stalking, until the property owner (or tenant) fuels the boiler. I should also add, that in several cases, they have taken pictures of peoples roofs who HAVE OIL BOILERS. Funny how that works. For your review folks, I took pictures of my own outdoor coal boiler at temperature as well as a neighboring roof with an oil boiler (and I had the courtesy to cut out any identifying structures, vehicles, etc.).
If biomass is such a caustic fuel source, then why does the EPA, and AK DEC allow 1,000,000 plus acre forest fires to rage in the summer causing PM 2.5 levels to outstrip the ENTIRE winter. But I digress. I should also point out that the folks seeking to ban affordable fuel in the Fairbanks Area, be they the Borough, or others, have only opacity to measure with as property owners are pretty adamant about not allowing them into their homes to monitor their fireplaces. Yes, that is the only accurate way to measure pollutants. But then, thats probably what they wanted from the start. Thats why they pushed for the law to begin being enforced based on the color of the smoke coming out of your pipe, followed by how opaque it appears to be. They wanted that fight to start incrementally, and then when the public was tired of it, then they’d offer the alternative of emissions testing… Invading homes, requiring licenses for the affordable alternative to heating oil in the coldest state in the Union. Yes, for many its true, burn the cheapest fuel or freeze. Oil is the primary fuel, and also the most expensive. Thats a fact (Fairbanks Gas records the prices in just about every corner of the FNSB. There are a few gaps, but in general these guys have been tracking the prices since I can remember listening to the radio up here in 2004).
Simple Analysis 4.0 beta draft #1!
100% digital, done with the GIMP this time around. A little tongue and cheek prod at both Apple and Occupy Wall Street’s worship of Apple products while vilifying the very foundation of what Apple is; a multi-national corporation that has outsourced American manufacturing. Yes, Apple builds stuff in China too… They are a regular computer company that imports components and uses cheap labor costing Americans jobs… Just like that evil Microsoft and IBM.
Really, if they truly were devout in their Socialism, they’d run Linux devices. Every single one of them, but they aren’t smart enough to (well, some have got to be… but in general…).
Yes, I see they typo’s quite clearly… Hence beta… You win some you lose some…
WARNO- “Simple Analysis” 4.0 is coming up! Well, okay, its not going to be really that earth shattering beyond the fact that I’ll be using a different template that fully utilizes my digital tools which should hopefully result in a more professional and finished cartoon appearance! 11NOV09 was when I started 3.0 with a new template. 11NOV11 I’ll try the same with a new template!
In honor of the Obama Administrations current priorities… Go after the Amish for selling raw milk and homemade cheese across state lines with mall ninja SWAT officers who work for the FDA and Dept. of Agriculture; all the while letting the BATFE smuggle guns across the Southern Border with Mexico to the Zetas; all the while blaming both the small farmers and the gun owning public for crimes which they aren’t guilty of. Its not a joke about how they go after small farmers selling raw milk as terrorists. In each case DHS has used a 2002 anti-terror law aimed at bio weapons as a statute to shut down small farmers at gun point.

Once again, GWOT Veterans are in the cross hairs of the very government they served to protect YOUR liberties… When you sit and read the articles, keep in mind how easy it would be to construe a wounded Veteran from recent operations in Iraq who loves to be prepared and live outdoors showing up at a surplus store. Having been wounded, and losing limbs, they can easily be ‘profiled’ according to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force handout as a domestic terrorist. This after MIAC, and the DHS Report in 2008. BOHICA!
