Gov. Tom Corbett, the invisible man
Marcus Hook was one of the towns I covered as a reporter, and now it’s on the edge of losing the one main industry. The Republican governor is largely indifferent to their plight: “Marcus Hook is a town teetering on the edge of destruction. Last year, Sunoco Oil announced that it would shut down its refinery in Marcus Hook. This refinery has employed residents for generations; it provides a tax base for the community, and directly funds part of the [...]

Freedom of Religion……
I’ve been kinda grumpy today. I must have a Newt hangover. He came to visit the West Jawja area and I had tired of hearing about it, so I am not going to talk about it. Moving on to other crazy people, there is Congressman Phil Gingrey, Republican from the 11th district of Jawja. Oh, that’s DOCTOR Gingrey, pro life OB-GYN. A friend dropped this letter from Dr. Gingrey into my email box this morning……. Dear Friend: Thank you for [...]

Hmm
So intellectual journals in general are rather lax in publishing pieces by women writers! I am so very, very shocked. Seriously, don’t kid yourself. It happens in the blogosphere, too. I still remember a young Ezra Klein (yes, even younger) lecturing me about expecting to be supported by male bloggers when I hadn’t paid my dues, like him. “Uh, Ezra, I’ve been blogging a year longer than you,” I said.

Burning carbon based fuels is dangerous to all living things. Only a bit less dangerous than nuclear power plants. These are the two worst ways to produce the energy that we need.

I know. Right?

“These are the two worst ways to produce the energy that we need.”
Without these two ways, all the trees would be gone and the planet would be a desert in short order. Are you insane?

Kong, trees are also carbon-based fuels, so Im is correct in saying that we shouldn’t burn them either.
We need to wean ourselves off non-renewables.
It won’t be easy at first, but it must be done.
The problem is that the oiligopoly owns our political system, and pollutes that system even worse than it pollutes the air.

Major Kong, think about sulight and solar panels. Think about the action of the waves of the ocean. Think about the wind that blows. Think about flowing rivers. Think about the steam that escapes through the crust of the earth. Think about….well, you get the idea. “Are you insane?” That depends on who you ask.
