Received this in an e-mail - no attribution to any author and I think I’ve seen it before - but I’ll pass it along - there is truth in it:
God gave this country all the resources we need and we would be fine, if we weren’t too stupid to harvest them.
The OPEC minister will look […]

Yesterday I drove through Kansas and got a chance to see close up the comparison between traditional energy production and alternative energy production.
Visually the new has a much greater impact - the towers looked to be around 100 feet tall and the blades probably 60 feet. The 100 or so visible from I-70 extend from […]

From the White House:
This Farm Bill Asks American Taxpayers To Support Still Higher Subsidies During A Time Of Record Farm Income
The United States’ booming farm economy makes it impossible to justify further increasing subsidy rates and establishing additional subsidies for some crops. With rising food prices and farm income at an […]

Sure lots of people complain about the negative campaigning - and then vote for those who do it!

Rep. Mike McIntyre is still waiting to see which way the wind blows before deciding, as a Super Delegate to the Democrat National Convention, who to back for President. Although the North Carolina primary is over and Hillary won his district he is still not saying.

News reports have him attending meetings with both Hillary Clinton […]

This is a new McCain ad.

President has right ideas on energy!

Hillary wants to play with taxes this summer to give the illusion of “doing something” about gas prices. She would increase taxes on the oil companies to “offset” the loss to the treasury (begs the question - how will prices go down if the taxes on producers go up?). McCain also wants to suspend collection […]

I’ve been ranting for a long while (since before I started blogging) that turning corn into a “fuel” was bad policy and stupid economically (except for “Big Corn”).

At a weekend conference in Washington, finance ministers and central bankers of seven leading industrial nations called for […]
