Obama speculates, Nancy blames the speculator

February 20th, 2013 | No Comments

According to Nancy Pelosi: “Independent reports confirm that speculators are driving up the cost of oil, hurting consumers and potentially damaging the economic recovery. Wall Street profiteering, not oil shortages, is the cause of the price spike.  In fact, U.S. oil production is at its highest level since 2003, and millions of acres have been [...]

The price of gas when Obama took office

February 24th, 2012 | No Comments

Liberals are rather aghast that some people assert Obama’s policies have driven the price of gas in this country through the roof.  Now that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, it’s become an issue to be debated seriously.  And, it is: who is at fault for these gas prices?

More bad oil news from Mexico

July 11th, 2011 | No Comments

Anyone who might be expecting Mexico to bail us out of our OPEC mess might be bothered by this news from the US Energy Information Administration: Mexico is a major non-OPEC oil producer and the United States’ second largest source of oil imports. Mexico produced slightly less than 3 million barrels of oil per day [...]

Is Libya all about the oil?

March 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

QuestionsView Results That’s not my poll, but it’s a dead-on appropriate question.  Obama says it’s about the intended genocide Khadafi threatened.  Well, that’s been going on unabated in Yemen, Sudan, and several parts of Africa.  What’s so special about Libyans that other Africans don’t merit? When Bush citied weapons of mass destruction and known threats [...]

(Name removed) blames President Obama for high gas prices, do you?

Good question! QuestionsView Results What’s that you say? I left something out? Oh yeah. How many people would have answered differently if they had known it was Sarah Palin? Be honest.

Carbon will be the leading source of conflict

June 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]

Here’s the story: The AFL-CIO labor union has a new tax in mind. Specifically, the union wants to apply a small tax — a tenth of 1 percent — on every stock transaction. The tax would especially target firms that use so-called high-frequency trading, which uses technology to oversee many transactions in the blink of [...]

Reflexively anti-Obama

August 25th, 2009 | No Comments

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

Who ya gonna trust, EIA or your local electric company?

August 10th, 2009 | No Comments

The Energy Information Administration, who touts themselves as “Official Energy Statistics from the US Government”, released a rather astounding conclusion.  While most people have been scare-mongering by saying Waxman-Markey will practically bankrupt most lower income people through much higher energy prices, EIA says this is not true at all: ACESA increases energy prices, but effects [...]

$20 per gallon

August 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

 Apparently some guy named Chris Steiner wrote a book called $20 Per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise in the Price of Gasoline Will Change Our Lives for the Better.  It’s gathering some chatter from peeps I enjoy and occasionally respect. Andrew Sullivan loved it: $20 a gallon is about the only thing that could unleash [...]
