Odds ‘n Sods:

El Jefe Jeff E. suggested this amazing video: A time lapse view of the World. Of course, what the narrator fails to mention is that all that wonderful health and wealth cane aboutr as a result of inexpensive and plentiful petroleum. The post-Peak Oil crash will put nearly everyone back down in the dreaded “lower-left corner.”

Deb J. sent us this interactive map: Diabetes on the March. It is further proof that some regions are healthier places to live. (Note that there may be some inconsistencies, because of differences in monitoring and reporting. For example, the incidence data for Colorado seems out of range.)

An update to my recent article about the Mayors Against Illegal Guns cabal. Another member was just convicted! Adam T. Bradley, the Democrat mayor of White Plains, New York was found guilty of attempted assault, harassment and criminal contempt. And then there’s his connection to the son-in-law of “former” mobster Anthony Anastasio of the Gambino organized crime family. Hmmm… I wonder how quickly Bradley’s name will disappear from the roster at Mayors Against Illegal Guns web site? (Note to Mayor Bloomberg: It is important to maintain a spotless sheen!)
