Evidence that deception, truthiness, and lies work: polling on energy

Wall Street Meltdown and a melting globe: a reprise …

September 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Global Warming, it is said, offers perhaps both the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced and perhaps the greatest opportunity we’ve ever had.

Vote Grand Oil Party! Multi-layered deception coming to a street corner near you

September 16th, 2008 · 6 Comments

In my neck of the woods, the local Republicans are showing a real green thumb (actually, perhaps green hammer) as there is green sprouting all over. Green signs with a gas pump are appearing with the words “Drill Now! Pay Less! Vote GOP!” Now, other than the direct linkage of a gas pump and the […]

Sleeping with a Secessionist …

September 11th, 2008 · Comments Off on Sleeping with a Secessionist …

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 […]
