The Mid-term Elections
Okay, my title isn't exactly original, but I couldn't resist a little "dig" at the quality of candidates being offered to Republicans by their dissident wing, the so-called "Tea Party". I still am trying to recover (literally and figuratively) from the George W. Bush administration, and the complete degradation of the office of President of the United States by allowing that bumbling idiot to sit in the chair. Clearly, however, new lows are still possible based on

Absence
I've been "away" (from my column at American Chronicle, Santa Barbara Chronicle, World Sentinel and the rest of this "chronicle" online syndicate) writing my "blog" at Lifestyle.psyrk.us and a small syndicate of my own websites (having gotten past the snobbish distinction between "columnist" and "blogger" by recognizing that content is the distinguishing factor, not the job title) (Thanks in part to Andrew Sullivan and some of the other pioneers of the blogosphere.)

Silly, Sillier + Seriously Stupid: Baucus, O'Donnell, Bush and More
The Sillies versus the Sillier
Although we usually watch such serious PBS far as HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher and this week Bill and his guests really outperformed Gwen Ifall and her panelists, indeed topping Chris Matthews and his friends on Saturday. Fortunately the use of logic tends to stack up against stupid people, and there seems to be no shortage of them standing for election in this off-year election cycle. Bill Maher gets significant amounts of credit, unfortunately, for givi

Obama Challenges TeaParty, Japan offers Loans to Calif, Little Green Businesses?
Japan to Finance California Hi-Speed Rail
Americans are fond of “pulling themselves up by the bootstraps”, the quintessential Horatio Alger story, rags to riches, to rags again, back to riches and all that. Indeed, broke, strapped for cash, some $19 billion in the hole this past year (according to some reports at least), Californians nevertheless voted to okay borrowing US$10 billion to finance the beginnings of a high speed rail system for the state that is primarily a connector of the

Tony Blair Warns of Global Jihad
Whenever I get frustrated with my own lack of progress in trying to inform the world about how quick, easy and simple a transition to biofuels could be, something comes along that proves to me that a small group of people really can affect the fate of the world. Unfortunately most of the examples consist of horrible people doing destructive things, and of late the fashion parade of favorites seems to be fanatically anti-American terrorists, although this week, a tiny group of Christian fanatic

Filipinos E-jeepneys, BigChanges, Noblesse Oblige, Biofuels Co in the Black
Filipinos get eJeepneys on Battery Power
A company called PhUV but also known at the retail level as the Electric Jeepney company has created a battery powered version of the ubiquitous “Jeepney” bus vehicles that fill the roads, highways and barely trodden paths to transport more people in the Philippines than virtually any other means of transport. They call it the “ejeepney”. Tackling the problems of fossil fuel dependency and of fossil carbon air pollution at this point in the
