The Missoulian ran an editorial by Eric Mink of the St. Louis Dispatch today, 8/8/08, section B5, titled «McCain, Obama avoid honest energy solutions». It is unavailable on their web site so I found it and linked to it at the St. Louis Dispatch site.
We need many more of these in the Gulf of Mexico. Ain't it beautiful?
The Missoula City Government Council is considering slapping a two cent tax on gas to help pay for some much needed road work and repair. With fuel prices at record levels and people struggling to make ends meet (thanks to the Democrat controlled congress and environmentalists), the local government has decided they need to increase taxes to make their ends meet. Have they considered making some hard choices and cutting some expenses and programs? My family certainly has. I didn't consider going to my employer and asking for a raise because right now, I'm happy to have a job and a paycheck. My employer had to make some difficult choices and cuts. So did I. So should our local government. Just don't take any more out of my pocket!
I've been totally lazy about blogging lately but I read a great letter to the editor in the Missoulian today.
The Billings Gazette reports on a study that claims that much of the West's climate related water trends are human caused and, of course, the AP falls right in line with the report.
Here's a little something I ran across today that I found very interesting and applicable today even though it was written in 1916 by William Graham Sumner.
I came across this post on Cafe Hayek, one of my favorite blogs, about a letter Don Boudreaux wrote to the New York Times in response to a letter Jeff Milchen from Bozeman, wrote.
I can always find good material in the Missoulian Letters to the Editor section. Today there was this one that drags out the old and worn out Liberal mantra that the Bush Administration is akin to the Nazi regime, that we have imperialistic ambitions of taking over the Middle East, that we are fighting this war for oil, and that we want to take over and privatize Iraq to benefit the evil Corporations who have Bush in their back pocket.
