A New High Is A New Low »

Over three months ago, I wrote a post about the price of gasoline, “Up, Up, And Away.” At the time, I was lamenting how gas prices were around $3 a gallon, and outlined some of the difficulties these kinds of prices place on regular old people like us. I did not think that the prices [...]

Skimmers Are AWOL, But Unskilled Workers Are Plentiful »

/ Bumped up . the good* reverend’s story got posted during the time we had trouble with comments appearing, so we’ve bumped her story up to ensure that you all get to comment (*she’s usually good but often naughty too)/ It is hard to believe that this oil spill in the Gulf is still continuing, [...]

Obama Playing Politics With Borders, Gulf Spill, and KSM »

Recently, Sec. Hillary Clinton made news by telling an Ecuadorean reporter that, sure enough, Obama plans to sue Arizona over its new law. Huh. That was news to Gov. Brewer. Nice way for her to find out for sure. But it begs the question, why. Why is Obama suing Arizona over its new law for [...]

While We Are Distracted… »

By the BP oil spill crisis, and it is certainly worthy of our attention, don’t think things have stopped going on in Washington, DC. Actually, come to think of it, there is a connection between the BP oil crisis and one major issue in DC, the Obamacare program. That connection is – wait for it [...]

Has The BP Oil Spill Broken Through… »

The Hopium Haze of Obama’s followers? Well, if Jon Stewart is an example, I’d have to say yes. Larry Johnson finally got me to start watching Stewart again after a long hiatus. The hiatus began when Stewart jumped on the Obama Sycophant Bandwagon. I was very disappointed that Stewart went that route, but he did. [...]

Oil Spill Meets Loop Current »

Strange how everyone’s worse case scenarios seems to be turning into the most likely case scenarios.  It’s hard not to feel like a captive audience forced to watch a slow motion perfect storm develop and unfold, but have no way of stopping it.  Only left to wonder when and where it will end. The May [...]

Words Failed »

Growing up as a city girl in the midwest, my introduction to and early education about crude oil and its impact on our society came through watching reruns of The Beverly Hillbillies.  With every show, the opening spiel told the tale of the poor Clampetts’ discovery of oil on their land and the ensuing wealth they [...]

Palin Takes Obama On in Her WaPo Op-Ed: The ‘Cap And Tax’ Dead End »

For those of you who thought Governor Sarah Palin would go quietly into that good night, think again.

Onion “News” About Bill Clinton **OPEN THREAD** »

Well, you know I am not all that crazy about Hillary Clinton being the Secretary of State for Barack Obama because I do not trust him. As it is, he is already complicating her job by appointing a special Middle East Envoy who will report directly to HIM as opposed to the Secretary of State, [...]

Earlier today, Byron York, at his National Review blog, The Corner, reported on his assessment of Gov.

Mental Midgets of the Media: Why Are You Surprised? »

Well, you got what you wanted: after 19 months of the most grueling campaign in history, we are left with a celebrity candidate of no qualifications whatsoever and the public at large doesn’t know any more about him now than the day he began. And we have the mainstream media to thank. Vetting, anyone? Pat [...]

Another Day, Another FLIP!!! »

Oh, dear. Obama’s firm stand against off-shore drilling? *POOF* GONE!!! Yep. What a guy! What a man of his word – NOT!! It was just a little over a month ago when Obama “Assailed” McCain on this very topic! Yes he did. I reckon “Backtrack Barack” is just going to flip or flop on every [...]
