Net Neutrality, Green Tech and the Pong Republicans
The ultimate question is whether we will summon our resources to meet the challenges of a new era and be at the forefront of innovation -- or whether we will be content simply playing Pong.

Luckily for Palin, "drill, baby, drill" only takes up 18 characters, leaving a full 122 more to pay homage to Big Oil, dirty coal, and the nukes that she loves so much.

By forcing General Motors and Chrysler to shift focus to a future of fuel-efficient vehicles, all of the concerns can be addressed. The automakers can be saved.

Love her or hate her, you have to admit that John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin for the Republican ticket this year was without any doubt the boldest political tactic of the year.

Chu understands that energy policy is not just about oil, and he has a distinguished history of involvement in the kinds of transformational science that could radically alter U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

First, I will never, ever, ever again pick a running mate just because she or he is "hot" and makes me want to say "You Betcha" even though my Viagra prescription has expired.

Sarah Palin -- Republican Doma-Veep-trix running mate to Presidential candidate John McPain...oops, I mean McNasty, no, I mean McCain (Halloween brings out the worst in me.)

The fact that we hold only 3% of the world's oil reserves, and yet consume 25% of it, makes it clear that we cannot drill our way out of our current energy dependence.

Drill, Baby, Drill is a contemporary version of Nuke The Whales. What was once a mocking expression of actual domination has been reduced to a desperate simulation.

Our times are also perilous because it will take more than vision and liberal politics to win over or at least neutralize some of the social forces being energized by Sarah Palin.

It sure doesn't look like Sarah Palin will be facing divorce. She may have difficulty explaining foreign policy, but she is clearly proud to assert femininity and sexuality along with power.

As has been pointed out repeatedly, Sarah Palin does not "get" the energy situation. Truth be told, she probably "gets" the energy situation about as well as Pickens himself gets global warming.

The scary thing is that the Republicans want more. Even after it's obvious the realities of "drill, baby, drill" are "spill, baby, spill", they still want more.

Palin doesn't believe in those funny-lookin' fossils that eventually evolved into you and me. This is extremely funny as she certainly seems to believe in their byproduct oil.

String Theory holds that the universe actually is comprised of multiple dimensions, as many as 26. Palin and her supporters occupy something beyond our familiar three, plus time.

If McCain finds himself fumbling for an answer, we suggest looking to Sarah Palin for guidelines.

If McCain and Obama don't address the scale and urgency of global warming, on what basis will we insist that they live up to their campaign commitments and to take bold action next year?

If you were running the campaign of someone whose voting record is almost completely aligned with George Bush, and whose positions on Iraq, taxes and healthcare are just about as popular, wouldn't you want the same thing?

The biggest question for Americans is not whether we like Barack or John, Sarah or Joe better. It is whether we have the character to recognize flattery when we hear it, and to stay focused on what matters.
RJ Eskow | Posted 10.10.2008 | Politics
I don't want to see more offshore drilling, but if we can put an end to oil profiteering -- and to the exhaustion of our natural resources to enrich a few -- it would be a trade-off worth considering.
