EDITOR’S NOTE: Below is the text of a news release issued today by the National Inflation Association. President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night did not make one single mention of inflation, when it is the belief of the National Inflation Association that massive price inflation (especially food inflation) will become America’s [...]

Obama Brings Out Transparency Pledge – AGAIN!
January 25th, 2011 · 1 Comment
I just about fell out of my chair when I heard President Barack Obama repeat the pre-election transparency promise that he has never fulfilled as president. It reminded me of a Jan. 7, 2010, post in which I shared video/audio of C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb talking about how President Obama’s campaign-trail pledge to broadcast hearings [...]

API: ‘President can do more to create jobs’

‘The King’s Speech’ vs. State of the Union Address
January 25th, 2011 · No Comments
I find it somewhat ironic that the film, “The King’s Speech,” is garnering so much attention for its Academy Awards® nominations at exactly the same time as state-run media outlets are hyping tonight’s State of the Union address by President Barack Obama. Though both King George VI and Obama began their political careers as bumbling [...]

Do Costly Red-Light Cameras Make Us Safer?
January 25th, 2011 · 2 Comments
In December 2008, I published a post about so-called “red-light cameras” soon after they were installed in the St. Louis area and, less than a month later, after they were given the old “heave-ho” in Pinal County, Ariz. Today, I share news from Los Angeles’ KCET about the business of red-light camera tickets. It will, [...]

Lies Dominated 2010 State of the Union Address
January 25th, 2011 · 1 Comment
Only hours away from a 2011 State of the Union address during which President Barack Obama is, unbelievably, expected to either call for more spending or propose partial freeze (which is it?), I decided to revisit the effort that earned him so much criticism — as a liar — in 2010. During that speech, Supreme [...]

Future of Drilling in Gulf of Mexico in Jeopardy
January 25th, 2011 · 2 Comments
Long-term Gulf of Mexico deepwater development could be seriously jeopardized if permitting timelines are extended, according to a new analysis by Wood Mackenzie. The study projects nearly one-third of U.S. deepwater production could be rendered uneconomic, which could significantly impact deepwater production, resulting in less energy production, less investment and less revenue to government. “The [...]
