Where Has All The US Oil Gone?
While the U.S.
oil industry wants access to more federal lands to help reduce reliance on
foreign suppliers, U.S.-based companies are shipping record amounts of gasoline

Wham! Bam! No Thank You, Phil Gramm!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
We’re “a nation of whiners,” says Gramm.
Our economy’s not in a jam.
It’s a “mental recession,”
This public obsession
With price hikes and jobs on the lam.
So who is at fault? It’s the press.
Yes, says Gramm, they have brought on this mess.
It would seem that reporting
The news isn’t sporting.
Vote McCain for continued “success.”
Obama Backtracks on Brandenburg Gate Speech

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered " was playing, as Barack Obama had just ended his
speech at a fundraiser at the Grand Hyatt in New York.
"Hold on a second," Obama said, coming back to the microphone in front of
several hundred of his supporters. "One more thing.... Senator Clinton still has
some debt. And I could have had some debt if I hadn't won, so you know the
drill. There are many supporters of mine here who have not yet given something
to help her retire that debt...
I would be very grateful if you looked under your chair, I think there should be
an envelope or a pledge sheet or something.... That is part of the process
of making sure that we're unified. Alright, turn on the music again, let's keep
on partying."
Dear Obama
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear Obama, your flight to the right
Is making me feel quite uptight.
It’s alarming how fast
You’re forsaking the past
And converting to GOP-lite.
"The notion that somehow that's me trying to look like I'm, you know, more centered, more centrist, is just not true" - Barack Obama
