Some Truth about “Drill Here, Drill Now”

From the American News Project, via Huffington Post

It’s important that people understand that opening up these areas to production will do little to nothing to reduce our gas prices, and we’re talking several years down the line regardless. The oil companies already have access to acres and acres of drillable land and sea that they aren’t using. Why not force them to produce on those areas if we’re so concerned about drilling “now” and “here.”

We need more effort towards renewable energy. Let’s see the GOP stage a congressional sit-in for that one. I’m sure their buddies at ExxonMobil should have no problem with that. I mean they want to stop the “war on the poor,” right?

More than that, we need leaders who will lead. America has spent too much time being told what it needs to hear and misled down these dangerous paths… How about a little truth in government for a change?

This is awesome. MASSIVE Obama rally

Record Obama Crowd, the Size of a City (Washington Post)

Huge Obama Rally in Portland, Oregon

PORTLAND, Ore. — Sen. Barack Obama has seen his share of large crowds over the last 15 months, but his campaign said they have not approached the numbers gathered along the waterfront here right now.

The campaign, citing figures from Duane Bray, battalion chief of Portland Fire & Rescue, estimated that 75,000 people are watching him speak.

The scene suggests this is not an exaggeration. The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails of the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore.

seventy-five THOUSAND.

More coverage, video and a slide show over at Huffington Post

I wonder if there are any “hard working Americans, white Americans” in the crowd.

The latest from the Obama-haters

There’s a new email forward circulating. New to me, at least.

It features this photo, reminiscent of President Bush’s binoculars-with-the-caps-on picture, and another one of the same phone theme.

Pretty embarassing, says the folks who will find any reason to dislike and/or mock the man, but here’s the real photo.

I expect much more of this.

Happy New Year

Welcome to 2008!

A long weekend recap.

Now I’m back to work, with hard drives failing, a cold and a feeling of general malaise. I’m about to head home though, and spend time with the kitties since I haven’t been home for a full night since before Christmas. I’ve got some cleaning to do, and some work to do on www.newindieartists.com. I’ll probably also work on a way to get my music stuff syndicated into this feed so people can get JUST the music stuff, or all of it. This will save me cross-posting.

Look what’s in my lobby!

An Apple IIgs! (and what appears to be a large can of baked beans)

I have no room in my apartment to collect crap like this, but I could probably eBay it for a couple bucks.

Probably not worth the effort to bring it upstairs.
