Weather Takes A Backseat

October 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s so wild the number of intense and far-reaching issues that have taken up news time lately. Just a little while ago we had a hurricane problem. Then a war with Russia possibly looming. And then at that point Sarah Palin took all the focus. What she experienced enough to become [...]

U.S. Korean Ally = Bad People In 1950

May 19th, 2008 · No Comments

We fought Hitler in WWII because he was doing bad things. Killing people, taking over in a bad way.
Then in 1950, during the Korean War, our ally apparently emptied its prisons and killed every last prisoner, burying them in a mass grave in relatively short time.
Apparently, U.S. politicians in the know at the time [...]

Unreasonable Search And Seizure Legalized

April 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

It’s hit the fan.
I read on Yahoo today that, “The Supreme Court affirmed Wednesday that police have the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turns out to have violated state law.”
So what this means is that cops can arrest you for any reason. Can search your [...]

Did You File Your Taxes?

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

It’s neat to think about getting a few bucks from the government. If you look at it one way, it’s like, “Free money! I’m going to spend it right away and do my part.” But if you are really afraid that economic turmoil will make things tight where you are, then you [...]

Oil: $108 / Barrel

March 10th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s so weird… A few months ago, I heard about a Peak Oil Shortage crisis, a predicted catastrophe that entailed massive blackouts and economic turmoil. But that can’t happen, let’s get back to our normal practical lives…
Now, our economy is experiencing definite turmoil, and the price of oil is steadily rising. Could [...]

U.S. vs. China for Oil

January 30th, 2008 · No Comments

When oil runs low, will the U.S. and China forcibly occupy the Middle East, with the reason finally being overt in that it’s all about the oil? Will our respective governments sell us on a battle for resources, for energy? It seems like as military powers, the U.S. and China are the big [...]

I Can’t Wait To Be Oil Independent

January 4th, 2008 · No Comments

I can’t wait…
It’s like waiting for Christmas.
It’s like waiting to see if you won the lottery.
If and when the U.S. becomes oil independent, that day will go down in history.
You wake up, flip on the news, hear “America has finally announced its technological advances have yielded 100% independence from foreign oil,” and party!!

Energy Independent In 5 Years

December 14th, 2007 · No Comments

John McCain says it can be done. I believe. Hillary Clinton says let’s light a fire under the public like the moon program did back in the ’60’s. I agree. Big Oil says 5 years isn’t enough. Of course that’s what they’d say.
The end is nigh! For Big Oil, [...]

States To Regulate Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions

December 13th, 2007 · No Comments

Read this on Yahoo: “Handing a major defeat to the auto industry, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that California can regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.”
Yes! This means that finally the auto industry will have to get on board and “Go Green.” After all these years, we’re finally starting to see what [...]

Lewis Black Isn’t Sure About Global Warming Since Bush Has Acknowledged The Threat

December 5th, 2007 · No Comments

In a recently-aired comedy special (maybe Last Laugh ‘07, which I had hoped to be better) Lewis Black spoke about how Global Warming, which had been obvious to him, was finally getting the attention it needed. Even the President was now on board, ready to take action to set things right. But Lewis [...]
