Obama’s Weekly Address: “Hey, Why Not Take A Hybrid Bus!”

After doing something pretty darned good in authorizing the take down of Bin Laden, he’s right back to his idea of clean green super duper expensive alternative energy while telling us we can’t drill our way out of high gas prices. Then he jumps in his huge fossil fueled vehicle and drives to the golf […]

House GOP Pass Offshore Drilling Legislation

Chumps Weekly Address: Hey, Let’s Blame Oil Companies For High Prices!

The difference between a demagogue (interestingly, ye olde Thesaurus has the word “politician” as a synonym) and a leader: the first yammers on and blamestorms, the latter comes up with a real world plan to address the issue and attempts to resolve it.

Thanks in part to the hammering they took in the abnormal cold of last winter, six large […]

Good News! Obama To Authorize Tons Of Drilling Permits To Lower Gas Prices

Uh Oh: Time To Give Up Your iPod, Facebook, And Twitter, Climate Alarmists!

Why? Well, you want to be “green,” and save the planet from evil greenhouse gases, don’t you? Apple has come bottom of the most comprehensive green league table of technology companies because of its heavy reliance on “dirty data” centres.
