Off Shore Oil

A MESSAGE FROM THE SIERRA CLUB:
Americans are fed up with runaway gas prices and bloated oil-company profits, but Senator John McCain and President Bush’s proposal1 to drill for oil along our coastline will only increase Big Oil’s bottom line. Their move to open up our coasts for Big Oil is making headlines all across the [...]

Bush’s Gas

When Bush took office the cost of a gallon of gas was $1.47, today a gallon of gas is $4.08. [Fuel Gauge report.]
Now why wouldn’t you trust his last ideas before leaving office to lower the cost of gasoline?
 

McBush Supports Opening Coasts to Oil Drilling

More efforts from the GOP (Gas & Oil Party)
Bush’s proposal would result in additional risks to ocean health without viable solution to oil crisis
June 18, 2008

Why We Fight

Senate Republicans blocked a proposal today to tax the windfall profits of the largest oil companies, despite pleas by Democratic leaders to use the measure to address America’s anger over $4 a gallon gasoline.
The Democratic energy package would have imposed a tax on any “unreasonable” profits of the five largest U.S. oil companies and [...]

Will Somebody Bitch-Slap Jackson?

This is in reference to Jackson’s recent personal and pivotal post, “Obama Won: Do I Effing Care?”  
When Hillary gave her “non-concession” speech the day Obama won the primary, it took the wind out of everyone’s sails.  Here was a monumental moment in history.  Obama did what most thought was impossible: he beat Clinton, Inc.  And he [...]

Let’s finish what we started

I feel your pain, Jackson.
Strong out the gate but faded at the finish… I’m wondering if I’ve got it in me to drive this thing home.
But it feels good to know that the worst is over. No more squabbling siblings… now it’s Hatfields and McCoys. This is the time for all of us to take [...]

Obama Won: Do I Effing Care?

So today is Wednesday. I came home from work last night, stopping to pick up some spicy Thai noodles with tofu, and slumped down onto my post-modern sofa. I contemplated opening up the bottle of pinot noir I had just received in my wine club shipment, a quarterly reminder of just how drunk I got [...]

Has Barack Obama Won the Nomination?

Obama has more than enough delegates to be assured of capturing the nomination. The delegates are not finalized yet, as they are able to vote however they wish at the convention, but for all intents and purposes the primary is over and Obama is our nominee.
I am disappointed that Senator Clinton did not make more [...]

Motley Crue for Barack Obama

Don’t Go Away Mad
…That’s alright, now that’s okay
We were walkin’ through some youth
Smilin’ through some pain
That’s alright, let’s turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way
Girl, don’t go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don’t go away mad
Now girl, just go away
Here we go
Don’t go away mad
I don’t want you to stay, [...]

Is Hillary Clinton Winning the Popular Vote?

Yes.
Yes she is!!
Elections, of course, are not easy things to determine. It’s not as if you merely count votes. There is a lot of fine print to which we must adhere if we want to have a fair election.
First off, obviously we must count all the votes in Florida and Michigan. We must therefore ignore [...]
