As any good chemistry student knows, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a potentially lethal dangerous odorless colorless liquid.

From DHMO.org:

Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

• Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
• Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
• Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
• DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
• Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
• Contributes to soil erosion.
• Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
• Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
• Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.

Heartless, in my opinion.

Rosie O'Donnell criticizes Mount Hood search effort

As the rescue effort continues on Mount Hood, so do the costs, which some critics are saying is way too much.

The gentler sex?  The compassionate women?  The nurturers?  You tell me.

Rosie O'Donnell and her co-hosts kicked off 'The View' Tuesday with the hot topic of the missing climbers on Mount Hood.

Rosie O'Donnell: "I read in the papers that over $2.5 million the search has cost so far to find these three men."

Jacque Reid, Guest Co-Host: "Here they are, they knew the storm was coming and they still opted to go out and who should pay the cost?"

Rosie O'Donnell: "What warrants 27 helicopters and 1,000 people looking?  I just don't understand."

Joy Behar: "Send this team over to New Orleans and fix that situation."

Feel the love.

The lesson here is painfully clear:  The notion that illegals do the jobs Americans won't is pure fiction.  Want proof?

Look here:

Applicants line up to fill jobs left empty by Swift plant raid

GREELEY - The line of applicants hoping to fill jobs vacated by undocumented workers taken away by immigration agents at the Swift & Co. meat-processing plant earlier this week was out the door Thursday.

Apparently the other psuedo issue of requiring real ID is not an issue either:

Greg Bonifacio heard about the job openings on television and brought his passport, his Colorado driver's license, his Social Security card and even a color photograph of himself as a young Naval officer to prove his military service.

"I don't want to hassle with any identification problems because of my last name," said Bonifacio, a 59- year-old Thornton resident of Filipino heritage.

Last week we had some fun weather.  Just a little wind and rain.

Just a little.  60+ mph gusts.  Trees down everywhere,  I guess all those greenbelts that the cities insist on having have a consequence eh?  That's irony for ya.  If we paved the forests we wouldn't have trees taking out substations.

So when it was over, we lost Cable TV, then we lost electricity.  Then we lost our minds.

When the power went, so did everything fun.  No TV's.  No DVDs.  No Espresso.  No Internet.

My god…no blogging. 

Oh, no work either.  But on the other hand, no work is no paycheck.  No work and no pay makes Jack a homeless boy.

We had it easy really, we have a gas fireplace, a gas stove and a gas hotwater heater.  We could still function at a basic level.  A coworker woke up to a tree on her house.  We were spared that.
