  10. Re:Sooooo...by Slick Willy's Logic.... on Bill Clinton Says 'Paint Your Roofs White' · · Score: 1

    Look, any resemblance of Bill Clinton to a Rocket Scientist is purely the result of The Good Old Days Syndrome, especially when compared to the sorry state of affairs of the current "leadership" in Washington.

    And what I posted was "...invent roofing materials that reflect heat in summer and absorb heat in winter?" NOT "change color in the winter vs summer".

  11. Sooooo...by Slick Willy's Logic.... on Bill Clinton Says 'Paint Your Roofs White' · · Score: 0

    ...all roofs in New York should also be painted black in winter, because damnit, it gets cold in New York in winter.
    Repainting roofs twice a year sounds like one of those roller-ready jobs programs.
    Howzabout some education grants to a few SMART kids, send them to college to get chemical engineering degrees, and invent roofing materials that reflect heat in summer and absorb heat in winter?

  20. The Biggest Problem on How America Can Get Its Tech Mojo Back · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem with the US Public Education System is that it is run by the National Education Association.

    If The Global-Warming-Junque-Science-Promulgators want to be taken seriously (instead of just scooping up grant money), they need to take into account variations in the solar cycle, which very few do.

    Jeff Immelt is Satan.

    How much it cost Steve Ballmer to wheedle and cajole Eric Holder's (so-called) Justice Department into ending the antitrust investigation against Microsoft a few months ago, and start one up on Google?
