Pirate Warfare Goes Hi-Tech »

WASH, RINSE, and REPEAT
With the recent rash of pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, hi-tech entrepreneurs are coming to the rescue.  Most people figure pirates probably don’t bathe often, at least often enough, so here’s one solution that kills two birds with one stone:  The instant wash, but with no rinse cycle: This solution [...]

Boats, Cars, Trains and Planes »

Since Obama’s election, it’s been very quiet here at Techimoto. In truth, we’ve had nothing much to rant about! Bush has evidently found himself some other hobby than trying to run a country, most likely trying to figure out how the Dewey Decimal System will work in his presidential library and hitting neighborhood yard sales [...]

NeoCons: Bush Huge Success »

Over 75% of Americans see the Bush years as a disaster. However, to the NeoCons, he has been a huge success, and has advanced their long-term agenda significantly. The organization that embodies the NeoCon movement is called “The Project for the New American Century” and their agenda can be summarized as follows:
1) Increase [...]

McCain Would Continue NeoCon Agenda »

If “Joe the Plumber” only knew that the Republicans he so admires really hold him in disdain. His only value to them is good old reliable fodder to fuel their war chests. He’s a believer OK, and a fool.
If their exists any doubt that the Republican party is dominated by the NeoCon [...]

Maybe “Joe the Plumber” Should Become “Joe the Solar Guy” »

In a recent commentary on CNN, by Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation, he suggests that we need to support people like “Joe the Plumber”, and provide the climate in which such entrepreneurial ventures can grow and prosper. Although he doesn’t say so directly in his commentary, I suppose this is [...]

‘Socialism’ – Boola, Boola! »

If you want to scare the H__ out of everyone this Holloween, dress up like “A Socialist”! For some reason, this seems to terrorize Americans like few words do. McCain is now using this as his new “scare” tactic, accusing Obama of “socialism”.
I have two words for McCain: “Who Cares!!”? A number [...]

GOP Conspiracy Afoot? »

Sometimes I think our political leaders read too much Ian Fleming, or worse, indulge in the faint-within-faint-within-faint political tactics implicit in the whole “Dune” series. If the recent insinuated allegation recently filed by the Obama Campaign is true, then we have nothing short of a full fledged conspiracy to undermine the very fabric of [...]

Joe the Plumber Better Off as a Dem »

It turns out “Joe the Plumber” (real name is Joe Wurzelbacher) isn’t really a plumber, and has no real plans to buy anyones business in the near future. In addition, he currently makes about $40,000 a year, and if he did manage to buy the business he has his eye one, he might, if [...]

GOP Prayer: One God Under Country »

Conrad, who appeared before the crowd before McCain had arrived, offered a prayer that seemed to urge divine intervention to prevent Barack Obama from winning the presidential election — and cast the outcome as a referendum on differing religions.
The Times’ Maeve Reston was at the event, and she passed along the key passage from Conrad’s [...]

GM’s ‘Volt’ Could Save our Behinds »

In a bold move, especially for a battered company in a  bruised economy, GM has aggressively developed a prototype car that, for all effective purposes, run entirely on electricity.  It uses a 400-lb lithium-ion battery, an energy source that is silent and emission-free. 
The big difference from other “hybrid” cars such as the “Prius”, is that [...]
