“We can’t keep on being mired in the same old stale arguments between the left and the right.” This is all too true – we have to have cheap clean safe energy in plenty if we are to cope with the problems of our future.

President Obama decried the new Supreme Court ruling on corporate money in politics stating:
The Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special-interest money in our politics … It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health-insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every [...]

I usually have quibbles, reservations, or complete disagreement with much of what our President says, but here I am in 100 percent agreement. Like it our not we are a high energy society. If we want our planet clean then we must have abundant clean energy to keep it that way. [...]

Great Questions About the Health Care Bill
A lot of really important and good questions about the health care bill are going unasked because too many are too busy shouting the other side down and debating death panels etc. Charles over at LGF hosted a thread for questions on the bill, and it ran very long. [...]

Obama is Failing
It’s now more that a month past my first post about President Obama’s First two quarters in office, and the outlook is not any better. Obama is presiding over an economy with accelerating job losses when he promised job gains with TARP’s passage. The economy is the key thing worrying the country right [...]

Cash for Clunkers = Euro Technocrat Fail
As you can see if you visit the scrappage article at Wikipedia the program in the US is not hope and change, but rather just another failed program borrowed from the Technocrats in Europe.
Congresswoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) is fond of pointing at the German program, but if she had [...]

Some Good Questions on Healthcare
Since this health care bill has been 100 percent crafted by West state urban Democrats, what are the long term effects and unforseen consequences to rural and suburban clinics, hospitals, and services? Even if they have the best of intentions they also have some inescapable urban bias due to their lack [...]

A Boat on the Reef With a Broken Back
… And I can see it very well.
To follow up on my earlier post about the real story of the collapse of Obama’s mandate and political capital on the reef of realpolitik and Dem infighting in Congress I proffer a few links:
The Hill: July has been a [...]

Obama & The Real Story
The real story for Obama is grim right now: unemployment is at new-century record highs, his first six months in office are a failure, his budget is delayed, transparency is delayed, health care reform is on the rocks, and dissension within his caucus is at an all time high as they [...]

Obama: The Fail Part II, Nothing
I’ve been among those saying that there’s plenty to slam our President on without making stuff up as some kookspiracist bloggers are prone to do, and you don’t need to wish him to fail. In my previous post I noted that President Obama is failing at least for his first [...]

Obama’s First Six Months: The Fail
Domestic
Even being kind and peering through rose-colored glasses won’t give the appearance that President Obama has succeeded in his major policy initiatives – especially when you look at real data from his first two quarters in office.
The biggest challenge he talked about in the final days of election season was [...]

Quick Hits
With the withdrawal of US Troops from Iraqi cities negotiated by the Bush administration we see the last major Iraq policy initiative of the previous President. If anything breaks in Iraq after this, it’s on Obama.
In Pakistan the Taliban are still retreating in a hard backwards slog where they are killing their own wounded, [...]

Government Motors
GM? Today they get their final lifeline… 30 billion more in Taxpayer dollars, but still bankrupt:
But the officials said Sunday they would try to steer clear of getting involved in the automaker’s day-to-day operations, though the government will maintain the right to set upfront conditions for providing assistance in “exceptional cases.”
The administration expects company [...]

Obama’s Open Government: Release Abu Ghraib Photos but No Visibility to Tarp Funds
I would laugh, but it’s not funny. President Obama is still waffling on releasing Abu Ghraib photos five years after the fact, and closing Gitmo, but at the same time the American public has pretty much zero visibility to where Tarp money is [...]

Say it Ain’t So Sherriff Joe
This is a follow up to my earlier article on Sherriff Joe Arpaio and the controversies surrounding him. He appears to have some sewer maggot supporters, like neo-nazi Vito Lombardi and his White Nationalist friends. Neo Nazis tend to be narcissistic and love to get photo ops with politicians. Wise [...]

Don’t Drink Foo Foo Drinks, Don’t be Fooled by Foo Foo Budget Cuts
I don’t drink Foo Foo drinks except on rare occasions – there’s plenty of good reasons. One is that they are generally more expensive because they are blended, have those toy umbrellas and such, and you never know the alcohol content. So when [...]
