Jamie Gorelick’s BAAAACCCKKKK!

In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick.  Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]

That pesky “Bush is beholden to oil” thing

Posted by Moonage on 12 May 2008 | Tagged as: Oil Policy, Oil Supply, Political Correctness

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall.  Obama’s already testing it.  Clinton has worn it out already.  Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem.  When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing:

That’s the [...]

At what price is drilling in ANWR economically feasible

Posted by Moonage on 19 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories, Energy Policy, Oil Policy, Oil Supply, Political Correctness, The Media

My buds at Independent Sources so nailed this issue I just suggest going there and reading it.  A synopsis:
…….but reading this story about Brazil’s recent discovery of a deep water oil field of 5,000,000,000 to 8,000,000,000 barrels of oil made me think of it…….

Today is the national protest aimed at the oil producers where people are encouraged to not buy gas for one day as a sign of protect.
I won’t be buying gas today. My wife won’t be buying gas today. It’s not because either of us think this will work. It’s because we bought [...]

Iran going broke?

Thomas Freidman made the above observation: He then ties in this quote:

When I heard the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, declare that the Holocaust was a myth, I couldnt help asking myself: I wonder if the president of Iran would be talking this way if the price of oil were $20 a barrel [...]
