President Obama’s Speech is a Doozy.

February 25th, 2009 · No Comments

July 7th, 2008 · No Comments

One only has to look around, anywhere in the world, to realize that transportation runs on oil. Without that transportation most of the goods we enjoy would be non-existent. Only an idiot would assume that the Chinese and Indians and other emerging nations would be content to ride bicycles for ever.
