Did anyone else notice that Speaker of the House John Boehner did not shed a tear when issuing his statement about the massacre in Arizona that killed, among others, a nine-year-old girl and left Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords maimed? The new Speaker notoriously weeps when recounting his own youthful travails rising to fortune in business and power in government. He handled this incident like a news-caster at a Midwestern TV station reporting rush hour traffic.
Thank you to Pamplemousse and Deckard for the great links today! I'm so glad that people are getting good use from this blog. Also, like a lot of people, we're getting some big snow today, on weekdays I try and post at 4:00 p.m. EST. If I don't post one day over the next few days, it's because the snow has knocked out our interwebs or power, so please come back and check in a day or so. Good luck to all of you in this snowstorm.
First, a good Peak Oil Documentary for those who haven't seen it before or would like to see it again!
