"Never let it be said that Mother Nature doesn’t appreciate irony. Research led by staff at Occidental College and the University of California at Santa Barbara has found that the oil platforms dotting the California coast are fantastic for sea life. In a 15-year study, researchers found that the ecosystems that build up around artificial rigs host 1,000 percent more fish and other sea life than natural habitats such as reefs and estuaries. The California rigs outstripped even famously rich ecosystems such as the coral reefs of French Polynesia..." Goldberg also reminds readers that a system of "clean" energy greeniacs love, Windmills, kills thousands of birds. Love it!
On his radio show, Sean Hannity was just going over the most recent polling on this year's election. It looks like the Democrats, trying desperately to distance themselves from Obama, whose policies they have supported wholeheartedly, are facing a rout. I'm not letting my hopes get up for three reasons. One, the polls may be wrong, especially those that fall within the so-called margin of error. Two, the President will likely continue his policies by executive fiat, bypassing congress. Three, many Republicans move left, or are forced to by circumstances, once elected.
It's odd -- I want the shooting at the Canadian parliament to be the fault of Islamic and not domestic terrorists. I just read that earlier in the week two men were run over by a car, one fatally, driven by a terrorist. Canada has pledged to join the fight against ISIS. Perhaps this is retaliation.
The floating book shop was rained out today. Since I hate not earning any money, I brought my empties to the recycling center at Stop n Shop... Lately I've been following a lot of literary sites on Twitter. They offer free publicity in return. It has yet to result in any web sales. It's a shot in the dark. There are twelve million books listed at Amazon, a lot of authors vying for attention. I have two choices: give up or keep trying. Since I don't want to work for anyone else and my finances are sound, the choice is easy -- but at times oh so frustrating.
