Am I the only person who finds it a bit odd that someone can simultaneously claim to be an oil expert and a believer that the earth is a few thousand years old? How does she know where to look? If there isn’t some geologic process that makes oil more likely to have developed in [...]

Now that’s a good ad…seems awfully wasted trying to put Norm Coleman out of work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsLea3_dg10 By the way, how ridiculous do the Fed’s January rate cuts and Bear Stearns bailout look now? If they hold their fire we have $1.20=€1.00, money to deal with crises, and perhaps no AIG issue as those guys would [...]

Wow – AIG bailout, a 4% drop in the market, and Morgan Stanley talking about merging with Wachovia. Interesting times. Sure none of you has a good oil industry idea – as mentioned earlier, I am increasingly convinced of the peak oil hypothesis (http://theoildrum.com/)?

Way to go Iowa… http://iowapolitics.com/index.iml?Article=135972 Favorite line: “Sarah knows how to field-dress a moose. I know how to castrate a calf. Neither of those things has anything at all to do with this election. But since we know so much about Sarah’s special skills, I wanted to make sure you knew about mine too,” she [...]

Bit of a weird election when a guy best known for his thumb scale of movie reviews has one of the more perceptive observations of the Palin issue. There is a curious American Idol aspect to her run, as though every housewife should have the chance to be VP: http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/1156080,091008ebertpalin.article

Please, for all that is good and decent, someone tear her a new one for getting us into this mess. This is who we would put a 73 year-old heartbeat from the button? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5778018&page=1 The Governor advocated the accession of Georgia and Ukraine into NATO. When asked by Gibson if under the NATO treaty, the [...]
