You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

After seeing this article the other day, Bush’s Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept; Obama Officials Say Oversight Will Grow, I felt compelled to share some helpful suggestions when you are traveling into the USA: carry some change to make phone calls, bring some paper and a pen to be able to write a letters/documents, [...]

The other day, I saw a post by Greg Palast, one he originally wrote for Huffington Post. When you read it, you will see why that is kind of funny. I wonder how they responded to it over there? I’m not about to go there and give them the traffic to find [...]

I saw this excellent piece by Jay Ambrose in my local paper recently, “Seeing Through Obama’s Promise Of Transparency.” In the article, Mr. Ambrose lays out a number of ways in which Obama has reneged on being “transparent”:
Transparency, said President Barack Obama in a memo not long after he took the oath of office, [...]

Ted Van Dyk’s article in today’s WSJ, Obama Needs to ‘Reset’ His Presidency cautions that Obama must take a time out and find “a reset button for domestic policy.” Interesting that he uses the words “time out” – something one would tell a misbehaving child. Surely, the President’s reckless spending and use of [...]

For those of you who thought Governor Sarah Palin would go quietly into that good night, think again. Her Op-Ed in today’s Washington Post strikes directly at the heart of President Obama’s cap and trade plans. She misses no opportunity to point out that his recovery plans are not exactly helping those in [...]

For 23 years Keepers of the Mountains has held an annual family picnic on Kayford Mountain, West Virginia to bring together supporters of the movement to end mountaintop removal (MTR) coal mining. This weekend 20 or so drunken coal thugs charged over the ridge and tried to pick a fight with the festival goers. [...]

Okay. I’ll confess.
I’ve always considered myself something of an environmentalist. I don’t remember ever hugging a tree, but I hiked and backpacked in my youth. I’ve recycled since the early 80’s. I shunned the use of chemicals and railed against deforestation, over-packaging, and junk mail. I joined Sierra club, World [...]

I do think it a good thing to reduce pollutants in the air – and whether you believe in manmade climate change or not, I imagine you would agree. I also think the US needs to stop spending $200,000 per minute on foreign oil, and would love to see alternative methods developed and utilized.
The question [...]

Noticeably detached Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in a cowboy hat facing a San Francisco chamber of California-based greens is the story, not the debate. The Obama administration has already lost the argument for additional off-shore drilling.

I have to confess that I was very impressed by Obama’s handling of his first Press conference and by what he had to say.
One sentence that really got me onside was when he stated that the country could not afford to let Congress “play political games” as was its usual tendency. I immediately thought of [...]

It took nearly two years with an army of indomitable hunters determined to trap a POTUS* at any cost using any means, but Obama did it.
Now that the biggest, most hazardous, acutely stressful, and toughest job on the planet has been captured, what is Obama going to do with it? I get [...]

Barack Obama has a coal problem. Responding to yesterday’s revelation that Barack Obama intends to bankrupt all plants that operate on energy generated from coal, Chris Hamilton, the Senior Vice President of the West Virginia Coal Association, called Obama’s comments in San Francisco “unbelievable.” I quote the West Virginia Record:
