I knew it would happen eventually and, yesterday, it did: I found my first offer to purchase so-called “carbon credits” had arrived in the mail. A review of the offer, which arrived in the form of a postcard-size insert inside the envelope carrying my monthly electric bill, left me scratching my head and wondering. Delivered [...]

Eight days later, while steaming about the need for immigration reform, [...]

Message to Shell: ‘Stop Buying Middle East Oil’
April 16th, 2008 · No Comments
I read an interesting article this morning about former professional basketball superstar Hakeem Olajuwon and his close ties to Islamic mosques with ties to terror groups, including Al-Qaeda. While that article was interesting, it was a link that appeared in the one-line mini-bio about the author of the article, Joe Kaufman, that caught my attention. [...]

Despite Earnings, ExxonMobil Deserves Better
July 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Today, I expect many in the blogosphere will be put off by my words below. Why? Because I stand on the side of ExxonMobil and others in the petroleum and natural gas industry when I say they deserve better treatment from journalists, politicians and members of the public at large. I was reminded of my [...]

The ‘W’ Primary of 2060
May 10th, 2007 · 2 Comments
The Truman Primary. That’s the headline of the cover story of NEWSWEEK‘s May 14 issue in which writer Evan Thomas waxes poetic about the iconic status of the president who ended World War II in the Pacific and about how today’s field of presidential candidates “all want to be Harry Truman.” No offense, Evan, but [...]
