This is not the kind of attitude that should get a happy smiley “ain’t they cute” story in the New York Times These days Ms. Barnett, a former assistant district attorney in Manhattan whom Women’s Wear Daily once profiled under the headline “Sloan Ranger,” is today a consumer reporter for KNTV, the NBC television affiliate [...]
Before the internet, blowhard bully Larry O’Donnell would have gotten away with his knuckleheadedness. Nowadays, it just ain’t happening. It’s too bad that no one else on he show with him knew enough to correct him. One wonders why they get on camera and talk about stuff they know nothing at all about.
I’ve written before about what a good idea I think it is to wean ourselves off of non-renewable energy sources. Petroleum – oil – is a special problem not only because it’s non-renewable but also because it has geopolitical value far beyond its actual worth.
