When Candidates are Dangerously Wrong Americans have painted themselves into the corner on energy and the two presumptive candidates for President are ready to finish off the nation with the worst possible "solutions." Sen. Barack Obama is talking of "windfall profits" taxes on the oil companies, thus threatening to take away the money they need to invest in exploration, extraction, refining and delivery of the gas and oil we need to fuel our cars and trucks, and heat our homes. ____________________________ Nanny Rell And Her Utopian Entitlement Brainstorms: Helping, Or Hurting "CT FAMILIES"? The movie, "Sleepless In Seattle" should have a spin-off. We could call it, "Clueless In Hartford." That was one of my many thoughts after I finally regained both my composure and vehicular control as I was entering the highway this past Sunday afternoon, and as I listened to Nanny Rell doing a commercial on my car radio about her "CT FAMILIES Program." As long as cell phones are now considered such a distraction while driving, perhaps we should also now ban listening to the car radio while driving as well, at least until once Nanny Rell is long gone and safely out of office. She almost simultaneously killed both me and the poor, unknowing schmuck next to me in the adjacent lane. Where is the Surgeon General when you really need him? Governor "Nanny" Rell is as hazardous to the safety of our state's motoring public's health as she is to the economic survival of our state itself. This woman's dimwitted socialist policies make cigarettes look downright wholesome! ____________________________ Living on the Edge of Destruction: Israel's 60th Anniversary "Trusting in the Rock of Israel we now place our signatures in witness to this proclamation, sitting as the Provisional State Council, on the soil of the homeland, in the city of Tel-Aviv, this day, Friday afternoon, the 5th of Iyar, 5708, the 14th of May, 1948." This was the moment of the re-birth of Israel announced by Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel. I would call your attention to the year of the Jewish calendar he cited, 5708. It reaches back over the millennia, deep into the Torah, the Old Testament, with its long history of a people chosen to be "a nation of priests and a holy people." ____________________________ The Golden Age of Islam Extinguished During the Golden Age of Islam, Western Europe was experiencing the Dark Age. Arabs kept alight the flame of knowledge, rescuing Greek culture from obscurity and allowing it to reconnect with Europe as the Renaissance. It was during and after the Crusades that European culture began to flower anew. The Cathars built the great Cathedrals, some say with gold or other more esoteric riches gained by the Templars during their stay in Jerusalem. As the flame of knowledge was transferred to the West, it was ironically extinguished in the Middle East. Islam and the Arab culture went into a steep decline, reaching its nadir with the teachings of Wahhabism and other extremist versions of the great religion. Now, the West is in full bloom, leading the world with progress in every aspect of life, while today's Islam finds itself infected with the memes of savagery and false pride, fueled by fear and jealousy of the West's success. ____________________________ The Rule Of Rell: When Leadership Lacks, Delegate Blame She's at it again. In her written testimony to the US Senate, Her Histrionic Highness recommends lifting an import tariff on ethanol to encourage increased importation of sugar based ethanol from Brazil as opposed to the corn based variety to address the problem of skyrocketing food costs. I see. Now the US Senate is at fault. I'm not saying it isn't, but this Governor shares ample blame, which she conveniently does not acknowledge. Governor Rell is such a big fan of ethanol that she it is being used in the state motor pool fleet. Some states are already looking at banning ethanol. Jodi likely won't do that unless her mentor and hero, "Ahnold," out in California, gives her the thumbs up. ____________________________ Must We Suffer Global Famine Again? Do today's soaring food prices and Third World food riots mean we're headed for global famine? Not any time soon -- if we suspend the biofuels mandates quickly. Unfortunately, if we keep burning corn, wheat, and palm oil in our vehicles, there's no limit to the hunger, malnutrition, wildlife extinction and political disruption we can cause. The problem is simple: Food demand is inelastic. People need about the same number of calories whether they're expensive or cheap. But the demand for biofuels is almost without limit. An acre of corn produces only 50 gallons worth of gasoline per acre, while humans worldwide burn more than a trillion gallons of gasoline per year. ____________________________ Rell Urges Relief on Spiraling Food and Energy Prices Governor M. Jodi Rell submitted written testimony to the U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee urging Congress and the President to lift an import tariff on ethanol and temporarily waive the federal Renewable Fuel Standards to ease the vise-like pressures of spiraling gasoline and food prices. ____________________________ A regular Joe seeks to make a real difference Some folks have criticized Joe Visconti for making the jump to run for Connecticut's first district House seat after only being in his West Hartford Town Council position for only a few months. Yet, you also have to admire Joe for having to the guts to not permit John Larson to run uncontested, unchecked where it matters most. |
