Posting from Word is only interesting if you do it. I am going to try to get back in the habit of posting every day. Today politics… Arafat and Sharon are both fanatics. The Israelis and the Palestinians ought to go back to the huddle, pick new captains, and start again. There. While I am on the subject of the Middle East, why in the recent did the subject of US dependence on foreign oil, take a back seat to ‘soccer moms’? “Congress Is Giving Carmakers a Free Ride” was the headline in that bastion of lefty-radicalism, Business Week. They went on. “A hike in standards could have a big effect: Existing CAFE rules have cut U.S. gasoline consumption by one-third over the past quarter-century, according to the National Academy of Sciences. Even so, U.S. use of foreign oil has soared. According to the Energy Dept., the country imports 51% of its oil, up from 31% in the 1970s. The percentage is expected to leap to 64% by 2020.” Sheesh. Short of digging a big hole and pushing half the US Senate into I have no answer… Wait a minute. I have it. The Democrats and the Republicans ought to go back to the huddle, pick new captains, and start again. There.
Okay, I feel better now. I’ll go back to working on the MetaWeblog API. |
