But it was a quite spectacular war on shampoo

Speaking of over-hyped terror alerts, airport security at LAX Thursday was brisk, efficient, and professionally done, which is a considerable improvement over what it had been. It’s still an annoying wait and probably not all that effective in stopping a serious . But at least they do the searches efficiently now.

My friend Scott Miller has a few blogs on BioConversion and BioOutput you might be interested in.

He covered the 1st ever Alternative Car and Transportation Expo in Santa Monica. I was there, too and so was Ed Begley, of course. It was cool.

Ed Begley announced he has a new show, “Living with Ed,” a humorous and informative look at his home/ life off the grid in Studio City, premiering on HGTV, Jan. 1 right after the Rose Parade.

Scott Miller blogs extensively biofuel from an insider’s viewpoint at three blogs.

BioStock. “biomass feedstock issues. which are being used, how they are being transported, and what pre-processing technologies are being developed.”

Bioconversion. “international biomass conversion issues - process R&D, facility deployments, and new developments.”

BioOutput. “output of biomass conversion technologies - emissions, biofuels, electricity, green chemicals - and new uses for them.”

Actor Ed Begley Jr., of course, has been an electric-car driving, recycling, enviromental activist for decades, inspiring countless others to do the same.

(Via email from my father-in-law)

PRESIDENT:
I am the very model of a bible-bound creationist
A blinkered, blind, and narrow-minded dumb-ass revelationist
I find it hard distinguishing religious from political
And so I make decisions that are highly hypocritical.

I try and change the law to save the life of someone comatose
While ordering a war and killing anyone who comes too close.
The latest body count was two hundred-thousand-plus civilians
But I’ve got policies that could cause carnage by the milli-ons.

ALL:
But he’s got policies that could cause carnage by the milli-ons
But he’s got policies that could cause carnage by the mili-ons
But he’s got policies that could cause carnage by the milli-ons

PRESIDENT:
I know the world was made for us, and has been since it first begun
It says so there in Genesis, and God knows I’m a Christ-ee-yun
In short, in matters biblical, a congre-gaggin-nationist
I am the very model of a bible-bound creationist
ALL:
In short, in matters biblical, a congre-gaggin-nationist
He is the very model of a bible-bound creationist

PRESIDENT:
My country’s use of gasoline is profligate and decadent
It’s harming our economy and the whole world’s environment
Global warming morons warn of crises so hysteric and
It makes me thank the Lord that I was born to be American

Like anyone in power who wants to show their adherence
I pick and choose the bits I use from both Old and New Testaments
The Satanic secular types show how much they fear me
When I announce that evolution’s no more than a theory

ALL:
When he announces evolution’s no more than a theory
When he announces evolution’s no more than a theory
When he announces evolution’s no more than a theory

PRESIDENT:
Then I can draft a scary bill that’s more than taking liberties
But arguing impugns your patriotic sensitivities
In short, in matters patriotic, criminal or terrorist
I am the very model of a bible-bound creationist

ALL:
In short, in matters patriotic, criminal or terrorist
He is the very model of a bible-bound creationist

PRESIDENT:
In fact, when I know what is meant by true religious parity
When I don’t think the West is under threat from secularity
When my lack of brain-power’s not undermined by literacy
And when my foreign policy’s less gunboat, more diplomacy

When I have learnt the difference ‘tween sandwiches and sand wedges
When I can use with confidence the whole damn English lang-u- wedge
In short, when I can state a statement oh, so very statedly
You’ll say no president’s ever misunderestimatedly

ALL:
You’ll say no president’s ever misunderestimatedly
You’ll say no president’s ever misunderestimatedly
You’ll say no president’s ever misunderestimatedly,

PRESIDENT:
I know there ain’t much knowledge that’s contained within my cranium
I went to see the Wizard, but he can’t give me a brainium
But still, in things political or educa-ca-cationist
I am the very model of a Bible-bound creationist

ALL:
But still, in things political or educa-ca-cationist
He is the very model of a Bible-bound creationist ..
