TDS Bush v. Bush

No one nails it like Jon Stewart does, as I've written many times. The right only wishes it could be this funny - a great mixture of facts, humor and best of all, video footage from the past that the Bushes, McCain and Obama can't run from.

I find it particularly painful (and annoying, quite frankly) that Obama has "modified" his position somewhat on outer continental shelf drilling. I see his point, but seriously, does anyone not working for Big Oil think that it will be done in a completely environmentally safe way? And if the unthinkable happens, it's not a stretch to say that Big Oil will fight any judgment in the courts with its vast army of lawyers. In the end, U.S. citizens lose, and Big Oil wins, again. The only way this won't happen is if we stop them.

Lots more on energy and drilling coming up - I have plenty more to say about it (and a number of letters to write about it), along with some pretty good footage.

New Obama energy policy ad

This is a good start in combating McCain's mostly empty rhetoric about U.S. energy policy, but he needs to go much, much further. I know it's only a 30-second political ad, but I really want to hear more about solar energy, wind energy, and most of all, mass transit, a mode of transportation our federal government has willfully ignored and underfunded (to be kind) for decades.

I've been meaning to write a letter to the Obama campaign about his energy plan (or lack of a cogent one, to be precise), and I promise I'll share that with you soon.

Perhaps I'm being a bit unfair to Obama - he very well might have a sound energy plan, but so far, I haven't heard much about it. Ads like the one above are a problem for me (not that I'm in danger of voting for McCain); enough of the anti-Bush and anti-McCain stuff on energy - spend time telling us what you will do, Senator. And it's not like Obama's competing against McCain's sound energy policy, which consists of drilling on our continental shelf, a gas tax gimmick and a $300 million proposal for a battery.

We're waiting, Senator Obama, we're waiting. Blow us away with a radical new approach to energy that will make OPEC and Big Oil quake in their boots and sandals.

Tell the world our energy policy sucks

I found this on the Internet last night while poking around my favorite blogs, and I got a big kick out of this one. What a cool way to tell the world that our horrific energy policy sucks.

The only drawback to this one is that the price is a bit steep, but if you can find someone else who wants one (or if you own two cars), then this one is worth it.

I love the USA-shaped glare spot.
