Warren Buffett’s investment in the Obama administration seems to be paying dividends.

                          

Unbelievable! So, it’s OK for a Democrat president to have unprecedented war powers, but not for a Republican?

                          

At a time when new car sales are as high as they have been in some time, Chevy dealers are resisting GM’s determination to foist the electric vehicle on a car buying public that clearly doesn’t want it. I wonder if all of the Volts have been sold to quasi-government organizations? The only Volt I have seen in person apparently belongs to TVA, as it sits in the Summer Place parking garage most days, connected to its charging station.

                          

As U.S. and European nations step up sanctions against Iran, the Iranian regime once again threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway that is vital to oil shipping from the Middle East. Despite the fact that the aircraft carrier U.S.S Abraham Lincoln entered the Strait without incident, the area is still a strategic choke point that has the potential to be shut down, which would disrupt world oil supplies and lead to skyrocketing oil prices.

                          

It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. I never understood how Keith Olbermann went from being just another face on ESPN to such a large media presence in the first place. He has a snarky style which I assume is supposed to make him come across as “ironic” or “edgy”. It has always been annoying to me. And, why his political opinions should matter to anyone but himself has also been a mystery to me. It is apparently a mystery to most TV viewers as well, for the article states that “his large MSNBC audience has not followed him to Current TV”.

I think this requires some perspective. First of all, Current TV is not available in as many homes as MSNBC. But also, was his audience truly “large” to begin with? His MSNBC shows were never a threat to Fox News, and barely edged out whatever CNN program they opposed.

To sum things up, I and apparently most of the cable news and opinion viewing world, will not miss Keith Olbermann if his gig at Current TV ends just like his stint at MSNBC did.

                          

I agree. When Jesus disputed with authorities, it was the church of his day that he took exception to. He called the temple “a den of thieves”.

                          

I wonder if these will be the Stonehenge or Easter Island monuments that future generations discover. You must believe that, if wind power was truly valuable on its own, without the government subsidies, these structures would not be abandoned in such numbers. Even in the Netherlands, the land of the iconic windmill, it seems the price of being green is too high. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration has delayed approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, effectively sending Canadian oil to China instead of the U.S. Gulf Coast. It’s almost as if they want the U.S. economy to fail.
