Power Outage Due to the Dim Bulb in the White House
One year ago today, the lights went out. Even when the Big Blackout ended, the power pirates who have us by the bulbs kept us in the dark, fibbing, fabricating and faking their way through a series of bogus excuses for a disaster created by greed overload.

For All Those Who Believe Oil is Here Forever - READ THIS!!!
It's a myth to say that oil will run out. It won't.

It's not mine, it's Palast's, but that's alright 'cos be and Palast have a sort-of agreement. It's not startling information. Or, at least, it's not startling to a Brit. I wondered...
