My blogging beat and focus is Global Warming and Energy. And, the choice come November could not be starker in these arenas (that is, at least in fact not media framing). The contrast could not be starker … across a wide range of issues. Among these, John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin has added a […]

September 8th, 2008 · Comments Off on Sarah Palin’s Angry: Global Warming threatens “My Guy’s” hobby
Beneath her warm and endearing facade, one could suspect that Sarah “Pit Bull with Lipstick” Palin is outraged at the audacity of Global Warming as it threatens the favored sport of Todd “My Guy” Palin. “My Guy” has won the the “grueling 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog [Pit Bull with Lipstick?] snowmobile race four times.” The now […]
