Going into work yesterday I saw two sets of two cars stopped by the side of the road. In each case, the second car was bringing gas to the first, as evidenced by the big red gas cans being used. For the record, one of the out-of-gas cars was a Toyota Prius. Yep, apparently some […]
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer last month: "Oil price goes through the roof and what does the president do? He takes out the old saw of ANWR," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), speaking at a rebuttal press conference. "ANWR wouldn't produce a drop of oil in 10 years, and it's estimated that if they drilled […]
I spent $55.55 today to fill up the gas tank on my car. It's gotten to the point where I'm spending about $200 a month on gas due to my 66 mile roundtrip daily commute. Pretty quickly it's going to get to the point where I crash a few nights a week at the Hoy […]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on President Bush's energy policy: Veto and drill. Veto and drill. Veto and drill. That is the president's message. I like it!
The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof has a pretty good article on the Democrats and their less-than-wise opposition to the Colombia free trade pact. I encourage you to read it.

It should come as no surprise that if government perverts the market in such a way as to artificially inflate the cost of food when used as fuel, that less food would actually be used as food.

Host Wolf Blitzer asked Clyburn about move by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to change the rules to effectively table the Colombian free trade agreement. Clyburn said he approved of the move and that the President was wrong to send […]
You know the Democrats have gone way out on a limb when The New York Times editorial page says the Democratic Congress should approve the Colombian free trade agreement. Predictably, however, the Times puts the blame for Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rewriting of the rules equally on the Democrats and President Bush. Well, you can't have […]
You would think that with Democrats so concerned with the perceptions of the United States by people overseas that they'd try to avoid doing anything to make what they already see as a serious problem by making it worse. Of course, you would be wrong. The U.S. has one really good ally in South America, […]
If it weren't for the fact that the mainstream media storyline is that the burning of fossil fuels is causing the destruction of the planet, then this would likely have led last month's evening newscasts. America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy […]
