Lucky or Crazy?
When it comes to energy, America is lucky to be next to Canada, whose proven oil reserves are estimated by Oil and Gas Journal at 175 billion barrels. This ranks just behind Saudi Arabia (260 billion) and Venezuela (211 billion) and ahead of Iran (137 billion) and Iraq (115 billion). True, about 97 percent of Canada’s reserves consist of Alberta’s controversial oil sands, but new technologies and high oil prices have made them economically viable. Expanded production can provide the U.S. market with a growing source of secure oil for decades.
We would be crazy to turn our back on this. (Robert J. Samuelson, Washington Post, 8/28/2011)
This is what the McKibben crowd is now protesting. They don't want foreign wars for foreign oil, but then again, they don't want oil from good neighbors. What they want is the solar-powered car. Where do we stand on that, by the way?
Perp Walk
An illegal immigrant from Kenya busted for drunken driving after nearly striking a cop car in Framingham is the uncle of President Obama, the Herald has learned.
Obama Onyango told cops he wanted to “call the White House” after he was nabbed for OUI Aug. 24 after nearly plowing his SUV into a police cruiser. He was arraigned Thursday and was ordered held without bail because he was wanted on a federal immigration warrant, officials said. (Boston Herald, 8/29/2011)
Kudos to Howie Carr who is apparently almost the only one reporting this story. We suspect the president is embarrassed enough and that is not RedStateVT's point. Our point is that the state-controlled media will not report this story. This after they wrote endless stories about Neal Bush. Ho-hum, more journalistic hypocrisy.
No Laughing Matter
Former Vice President Al Gore is comparing the struggle to win over climate change skeptics to the fight against racism. (Foxnews.com, 8/28/2011)
OK, this isn't funny anymore. There is something seriously wrong with Ethanol Al. He needs to be under a doctor's care.
