Bear with me a moment, this is more a work in progress than a complete diary.

I stepped into a conversation the other day on a fish forum that has gotten me trying to track down some information. It all started with people trying to figure out how much money we were wasting on electricity to keep pretty fish in our houses. As you can guess, people with a thousand watts of lights running twelve hours a day didn't really want to look to closely to avoid the sticker shock. Besides, we casually spend WAY too much on fish and corals to worry about the cost of a few watts of power.

Amongst the replies though was someone from Pennsylvania paying 10.2 cents a kilowatt hour. That caught me off guard since my rate down here in Florida is only 5.2 cents per kilowatt hour. I expected some differences due to different markets, but a doubling of price?!?!

Sometimes it really amazes me that the news Americans would be really interested in is all but impossible to find in the American media. Yet, I pop over to New Zealand and I find out there actually is an investigation into Bush's propoganda machine.

WASHINGTON - Federal authorities are investigating dozens of American television stations for broadcasting items produced by the Bush administration and major corporations, and passing them off as normal news.

Just thought folks might want to see the drivle from the RNC.

This week, liberal Democrat Russ Feingold called on the Senate to censure the President for a program that is successfully stopping terrorists. After months of searching, Democrat leaders are finally beginning to find their agenda: take away the tools America needs to fight terror. In the last 24 hours, fringe groups like MoveOn.org and Democrat leaders from John Kerry to Harry Reid to Dick Durbin have rallied to Feingold's side, praising his grandstanding as a "catalyst" for the investigation of the President.

Horrible cure for insomnia: Defence Appropration discussions. Garunteed nightmares after connecting a few dots.

It seems that since everyone on the ground had finally figured out that there is no way to defeat the insurgency by shooting people (shooting an insurgent just creates more insurgents) the Bush admin and the defence department is going to look into ways to deploy our judges, lawyers and bankers.
