  • Does Big Oil's Apathy Justify Proposals to Tax Windfall Profits?
    Mr. Saxena's view of the oil companies resembling a food staples industry rather than technology is novel but misses the mark. Their retail service stations, found on every corner, more closely resemble the grocers model but their exploration and production is more akin to farmers producing staples than it is to grocers peddling them. And, those farmers are also heavily subsidized by the goverment. If he would have farmers give up their subsidies, too, then I can see "big oil" giving up theirs--as both industries should. Also, the rather astounding potential reserves recently written about in N. Dakota and off shore, and the oil shale in the Rockies, as well as the Alaskan ANWR reserves are all blocked from development. Maybe oil company exploration funds should be directed at lobbying Congress to allow drilling at home rather than risking nationalization in third world countries.

  • Hardball in Vallejo, California
    Nice take on where knuckling under to union demands lands any organization--just look at the US auto makers and airlines. Shedlock had my attention until he descended into name calling; stupid war, neonuts, neocon chicken hawks, and the like. His true colors, political agenda, and lack of credibility came shining through: Sad radical liberal blowhard, gutless coward, 4th grade economist.
