Is greater relief at the gas pumps finally in sight? If Gulf Oil CEO Joe Petrowski is correct it could go down to $1.00 a gallon or lower by next year. I for one am hoping he’s right. I just filled my tank up here in rural Maine yesterday paying $1.99 a gallon. A further [...]

Each of us have seen the extraordinary media swarm of T. Boone Pickens about his Pickens Plan. He has funded this TV campaign out of his own dollars. That’s significant for me. If you believe in something then spend your damn money on it. It proves you really believe. Don’t just ask others to fund [...]

As of this finishing of this article the Dow Jones is closed at 504 or 4.4% down. Most of you don’t remember the day in the 80’s when it dropped 600+ points in an afternoon based on an index of 3,000 or less. We survived and prospered thereafter. This sounds like a huge [...]

Gidget and The Geezer probably don’t lie every time they open their mouths. I’m sure that sometimes they just misspeak themselves through the rationalization that if a ton of their B.S. was screened carefully enough at least one kernel of truth would almost certainly be found. Take the situation regarding the contribution made to U.S. energy [...]

Unlike some folks, I actually look forward to work to get me away from blogging (as opposed to looking forward to blogging to wind down from work). It’s not the blogging so much as the news. And, when politics are involved, I really need a night or two away from the blogosphere. Truthfully, it’s kind [...]

A lot has been said in the mainstream media about Sarah Palin’s positions on various points of policy. As television viewers we have been subjected to hearing trivial items about her life such as winning a beauty pageant two decades ago from some no name town of a few thousand people. However, very little has [...]

There’s a lot of vim and vinegar being slung around the internets, today. It’s like there’s a hot political race going on…wait…my bad!
Part of the reason for all the fire and brimstone, methinks, is due to the lack of truthiness from some quarters (I won’t say where. I will say it starts with a letter [...]

You’ve got to give McCain credit. By welcoming Palin into his campaign, he sure livened things up quite a bit in this election (and no, I’m not referring to you-know-what, unless you know what is a bridge or something).
Truth be told, I don’t blame him for his (apparently) monumental screw-up. There was not much more [...]

Quote of the Day
“As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration.”
– Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), quoted just [...]

When Reagan and Daddy Bush finally tied the knot after their big dustup in 1980, the only reasonable conclusion was that they were really consummating a marriage between the military/industrial complex and big oil. This probably started out as a tenuous union but eventually morphed into the shadow entity most appropriately known as BUSHCO.
Fast forward [...]
