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 11th, 2008 · 8 Comments
Will the nation reach a limit? Is there no limit to how far things will go? I will put aside, for the moment, McCain advertising lying to make Obama out to be some form of supporter of teaching unvarnished sexual education to kindergardeners (when, in fact, Obama was supporting efforts to teach young child how […]

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 […]

Emerging from cave, some Republican lawmakers find sunshine not to their liking
September 8th, 2008 · Comments Off on Emerging from cave, some Republican lawmakers find sunshine not to their liking
After a month of occupation of a darkened House Chamber, Republican Representatives held a press conference to claim that American stands squarely behind them in their false prophesy of DRILL! DRILL! DRILL! as some form of solution to America’s greatest challenges. Their gleeful truthiness and deception did not, however, go unchallenged. Some 100 or so […]

Friedman burns McCain
September 8th, 2008 · Comments Off on Friedman burns McCain
Tom Friedman is on a roll. He has, clearly, decided that the United States faces a pivot point. Either we will figure out smart energy policies and prosper, or we will fry.

McCain campaign strategy working: media reporting “no difference” re Global Warming
August 14th, 2008 · Comments Off on McCain campaign strategy working: media reporting “no difference” re Global Warming
A critical Republican campaign strategy is working when it comes to framing for the November election. Despite actual facts, media reporting increasingly reports that there is no difference of import between John McSame McCain and Barack Obama when it comes to the arenas of energy and Global Warming.
