Can you “Connect the Dots”?

April 14th, 2012 · 1 Comment

While the Cherry Blossoms peaked in Washington, DC, well before the Cherry Blossom festival peaked (and maple syrup production plummeted) while Texas experienced four-foot high ‘drifts’ of hail, while Alaska had near record snowfall while the lower 48 states broke 15,000 temperature records in March, 2015, with temperatures over 8 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than normal, […]

Obama’s Four-Letter Words and Cushing, Oklahoma

March 22nd, 2012 · 6 Comments

President Barack Obama is barnstorming the nation promoting his “all-of-the-above” energy policy. Watching this parade reinforces that ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Global Warming’ (let alone climate chaos or catastrophic climate chaos or …) appear to be banned four-letter phrases in the Obama Administation lexicon. Yesterday, the President was in Boulder City, Nevada, standing in front of a solar electricity […]

Steve King revels in wasting taxpayers’ money

February 13th, 2012 · Comments Off on Steve King revels in wasting taxpayers’ money

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Representative Steve King (R-IA-5) made it very clear not just that he purposefully wastes taxpayers’ money but that he takes joy in doing so. King referred to the House office building janitors during Pelosi’s time as speaker as her “Stasi troops” — referring to oppressive secret police in […]

An election about science

January 13th, 2012 · 10 Comments

When it comes to the November 2012elections, few people identify science as the core issue. Economic concerns (JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!), fossil-foolish fueled anger at government, passions over the role of government, the Occupy Movement (what is happening to the 99% while the 1% profit?), and otherwise are among the many “core” issues.  A hidden element […]

Darren Doth Protest Too Much?

October 20th, 2011 · Comments Off on Darren Doth Protest Too Much?

On 18 October, Politco published a Darren Samuelson article entitled “Liberals unhappy with Solyndra focus“. Environmental groups are desperate to shift media attention away from Solyndra’s collapse and toward allegations of Obama administration favoritism to the Keystone XL pipeline, and they’re willing to throw the White House under the bus to do it. This article […]

RWSM loves dirty energy more than they hate Hillary?

October 4th, 2011 · 1 Comment

For some (many?) Democratic voters and activists, one of their reasons to support Barack Obama (or John Edwards or Bill Richardson or …) in the Democratic Party primaries in 2007/2008 was a visceral fear of the RWSM (Right-Wing Sound Machine) and how it how it had built up (irrational) hatred of Hillary Clinton in a […]

Killing or Creating The Future: Solar’s three act drama on the Mall

September 28th, 2011 · Comments Off on Killing or Creating The Future: Solar’s three act drama on the Mall

A drama is playing out at two ends of the National Mall … with a question mark between them. One act is receiving massive news attention while the intermission and other act rests in obscurity for most Americans. The center piece, almost like an intermission, is uncertain and perhaps cloudy about the finale. One act […]
