It looks to me like this ginormous bailout is becoming beggars’ row for industries that got their butts kicked in the free market but who believe, for some insane reason, that they’re entitled to take the money from us that we wouldn’t give them voluntarily. The latest to try to bilk us out of our [...]

Coal? Feh…what did coal ever do for us besides generate all that electricity that we have to have to remain a First-World nation?
Let me sort of describe my overall policy.
What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s [...]

At the end of last month, Nancy Pelosi was touting natural gas as an “alternative” to and a “transition” from fossil fuels in complete ignorance of the fact that natural gas is itself a fossil fuel.
She’s not gotten any smarter in the past three weeks.
As they reversed their long-held opposition to more offshore oil [...]

Uh oh…
I’m hearing disconcerting rumors that McCain is planning to endorse the so-called Gang of 10 16 20 energy legislation.

I don’t know if anyone else has gotten a call from a friend or loved one this morning about this, but I have and I thought I’d pass it on.
Apparently, word is spreading that at the end of the day today, all the gas station are going to hike their prices to $4.50 a [...]

We voters ought to be at least a little bit ashamed that we’ve let a nincompoop like Nancy Pelosi get her hands on our national energy policy. It’s not enough that we let someone who believes she’s on a mission to “save the planet” get her delusional mitts on the levers of political power. That [...]

Nancy Pelosi has the hook baited and she’s hoping America will bite.
Today, she’s saying that she is willing to give the Republicans a vote on their domestic drilling plan, but with a whole raft of conditions. Their proposals also have to include all the things that Pelosi wants, incuding raiding the Strategic Reserve and [...]

Nancy Pelosi showed up online today for a little chat with the readers of the Washington Post to talk about her new book which I think has sold 14 copies to people not directly-related to Nancy Pelosi. Michelle Malkin suggested that folks ask her a couple simple questions.
Alas, those two questions didn’t show up. [...]
