Or both? Time magazine came out with an article this week ,which curiously isn't labeled opinion, that misstates what Barack Obama said and then comes to the conclusion that Obama was right all along when he said that proper tire inflation and regular tune-ups can save as much gas as we would net if we […]
I made the mistake of pausing for about 3 seconds as I flipped past MSNBC earlier this evening. Olbermann was talking with Jonathan Alter and noted (correctly) that the gas tax holiday Sen. John McCain and Hillary Clinton had supported was a gimmick. On the other hand, Olbermann noted that Sen. Barack Obama's "increased" (not […]
No, I'm not talking about the heavenly light that emanates from his mere countenance. On Friday, Sen. Barack Obama said that he would be open to a compromise that would allow "limited" offshore drilling as part of a package of other alternative energy solutions. Is it a flip-flop? Yes, but so was John McCain's abandonment […]
I was asked the following question a couple of weeks back and I think everyone deserves an answer: "Is there anything you think John McCain's done wrong or Barack Obama's done right?" Things I think McCain's done wrong -- in no particular order: His continued opposition to drilling in ANWR. McCain-Feingold (campaign finance "reform") McCain-Kennedy […]
Colorado's Jr. Senator, Democrat Ken Salazar, was in the inenviable position on the Senate floor this afternoon of being the designated "objector" for Senate Democrats. Yep, that's right. There now exists video of a Democrat voicing opposition to drilling off the outer continental shelf and ANWR even if the price of gas at the pump […]
For someone with a Harvard Law School degree, Sen. Barack Obama's sure got a bad case of the stupids. Regular tune-ups + proper tire inflation = All the oil off the outer continental shelf + Alaska Thats so incredibly not true that it's jaw-dropping. Yeah, try to sell that to commuters getting hammered by $4 […]
Yes, an earthquake hit southern California shortly before noon Tuesday. It was magnitude 5.4. Yes, most of us noticed it. No, no one got hurt. No, nothing was damaged. We've been through it before. It'll happen again. There was no reason for the news channels to run all-quake, all-the-time for the next three hours. The […]
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted yesterday for allegedly receiving gifts from the now-defunct Veco oil company. A federal grand jury in the District accused Stevens of concealing on financial disclosure statements lucrative gifts from the now-defunct oil company Veco and its top executives, including a Viking gas grill, a tool cabinet and a wraparound […]
This post has been updated One of the best Republicans in the U.S. Senate is Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. The ob/gyn who first won a congressional seat in 1994 -- and continued to deliver babies on weekends -- is now in the Senate, where his focus on fiscal restraint has won him the moniker of […]
Brother Gerard Baker of the Times of London has this reading from the book of the Obamessiah. And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid […]
