Now that gasoline prices have got everyone’s attention, even environmentalists are coming to their senses. “Offshore drilling foes relent,” screamed a Los Angeles Times headline yesterday. Republican Representative James T. Walsh summed up the change of heart nicely by saying, “For years I have argued that we should avoid offshore drilling and tapping into underground [...]

There is nothing quite as sweet as catching a blowhard like Al Gore in the act of…how shall we describe it?…extreme hypocrisy. Therefore, we are deeply indebted to The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a “nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization committed to achieving a freer, more prosperous Tennessee through the ideas of liberty,” as its website [...]

Now that 87 octane has topped $4.50 across most of the country, more Americans are becoming aware of the economics of energy. Of course, we are still being lied to about the basic, undeniable reason for the price surge — America’s refusal to harvest its own energy. Democrats led by Barack Obama continue to berate [...]

If you are looking for a reason to support redistricting, look no further than Maxine Waters. Elected to the House of Representatives in 1990, Waters is routinely returned to office with 80% or more of the vote.

As energy prices surge upward, Americans are about to experience real-world consequences of 30 years of environmentalism. Industry experts have long debated the desirability of harvesting the crude oil beneath ANWR’s tundra. As far back as World War II ANWR was suspected of having massive reserves of crude oil, and in the 1980s U.S. Geological Survey studies confirmed that billions [...]

It won’t be long before Americans are longing for the good old days of $4.00 per gallon gasoline. So say industry analysts who ought to know. “Others who watch [energy trends] very closely forecast that we’re going to be hitting $12 and $15 per gallon,” said Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Advisor, [...]

Tracking the growth of government since the 1930s is a breathtaking adventure. Presidents serving prior to Franklin D. Roosevelt would not recognize today’s Federal government. By any measurement — responsibilities, receipts, expenditures, employees, departments, power, influence — contemporary American government dwarfs the administrations of Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, the last four Presidents presiding over [...]

With oil prices at all time highs and further increases likely, one would hope enlightened government leaders would finally come to grips with energy realities. America’s refusal to harvest its own energy resources — crude oil, kerogen, natural gas, hydro-electricity, nuclear, coal — has inevitably led to the demand for energy approaching the upper limits of supply, resulting in…anyone?…higher prices. To bring [...]
America is the richest nation on earth. Our economy out produces all others. We enjoy the world’s highest per capita income and most lavish standard of living. Yet, incredibly, our financial well-being is at risk as never before. Profligate government spending and counter-productive government programs have combined to push America toward a financial abyss. The hard [...]

Just when I think I’ve run out of interesting topics for discussion along comes a day like today. There are so many juicy items ripe for consideration I’m like a mosquito in a nudist colony. I know what to do. I just don’t know where to start! Thank you Pat Riley.
There’s the looming entitlement meltdown, [...]
