Prez will say less dependence on oil; how about solar, wind power?!!

The President will tell us in a few minutes about plenty of things about our nation. One of the things he will do is tell us we need to be less dependent on oil. That is easy to say! To do that we must use alternative and renewable sources of energy. Two of the most visible are solar and wind power.... Sign in to see full entry.

Will Enron trial be as entertaining as Saddam’s?

I suspect it won’t, but I will bet there will be some fireworks and interesting moments! I find it hard to believe anyone involved with Enron could get a fair trial in Houston. That’s the way it is going to be though. I still have some questions about this whole deal. Just exactly what business was... Sign in to see full entry.

Now that’s a trial; and the camera just happened to be there

Saddam’s and his cronies trial had been in recess for quite a while. They returned today to resume the trial. It broke down into chaos in a short time. Now that is a trial. That is some excitement to try to get some justice going in this deal. Ramsey Clark weighed in from over here and said the... Sign in to see full entry.

Challenger

When the Challenger fell out of the sky 20 years ago I was at my bar room with a good friend of mine, Stonepony. We were sitting around drinking a beer and watching the launch. This was the conversation we had: (I went back to my old journal and wrote down what I had written back then): Stone: Isn’t... Sign in to see full entry.

O, Oh, Oprah!

Boy, Oprah got really tough with that Frey guy today on her show. She really let him have it. She questioned him and pretty much went page by page to get his answers on some things. That’s the way Bill O’Reilly questions people. Oprah called in to Larry King a couple of weeks ago to support Frey and... Sign in to see full entry.

Netanyahu just got a big boost!

With the Palestinian election giving Hamas a solid majority in the Palestinian parliament, the prospects for peace have been dealt a blow. (Not that peace had much of a chance here anyway.) Hamas has vowed never to recognize Israel. It was the Jewish state wiped off the map. Benjamin Netanyahu was... Sign in to see full entry.

Canadians elect a conservative! I had to read that headline twice

Yes, that is correct. I don’t know what they are thinking up there. How can a conservative possibly have gotten elected to lead Canada. It’s becasue the Liberals were rotten. Why even the make up of the House of Commons will show the largest contingent being the Conservatives! The worst part of this... Sign in to see full entry.

Liberals and Democrats need to get over it; they have lost on Alito!!

Here are some words from an article on MSN.com today: Democrats agree that Alito is smart, but they are worried about how he will rule if confirmed. Well, I am not worried about how he will rule. He will rule in all probability in a very conservative manner. He will rule the opposite of some of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Real journalism!

I tried to watch a little of the talk shows on TV today. On one of the shows, Mike Morano (I think the spelling is correct) was on. He wrote a story about Dan "I am an expert on the military and no Republican can hold a candle to me so I can say what I want about it" Murtha. He calls into question... Sign in to see full entry.

Profits: Are the wrong companies being hounded!

I am not going to give any numbers here. I just want to challenge everyone to check out some facts before jumping on the profits some companies make. Please check out the percentage of profit a company makes. One very large energy company that has been criticized has a profit about one-eighth as big... Sign in to see full entry.
