Embracing George W. Bush’s global oil agenda, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice headed to the region for discussions on the crisis and to show support for President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia, the Russian position seemed to be a direct challenge to President George W. Bush, who had said the day before that he “insists [...]
Obama Flips on Offshore Drilling
By admin on August 1, 2008
Barack Obama has long opposed offshore drilling, saying in part “if people are expecting short-term relief because of offshore drilling, then they’re not going to find it because we won’t see a drop of oil for at least a decade.” Yet in the face of rising gas prices, he’s shifted that stance. [...]

We Need a New Marshall Plan for Energy
by Gabriel Constans, Guest Columnist
It only takes a few minutes watching the latest news before I’m seething, “Here they go again!” Every time I hear a politician, commentator or policy wonk tout the need for North America and Europe to become energy independent and develop future technology [...]
Bush Pressures Congress on Oil Exploration
By admin on July 11, 2008
Saying that “demand is outstripping supply,” President Bush urged Congress to act before its August recess on opening new areas for oil exploration.

November 8, 2008
LOS ANGELES.
Besides excitement over Barack Obama, most of the watercooler discussion has been on proposition 1A. Despite a huge state government deficit and a deep national recession, Californians voted to build a state of the art, $45 billion bullet rail system.
Shooting through at 220 mph, the 800-mile network would link San Diego in the south [...]

P Diddy Pays $20 Mil. Too Much for Enyce
October 21, 2008
P Diddy is bargain shopping, but unfortunately he’s sorting through the clearance sale of the outdated fashion rack. Sure Clairborne, the seller, previously purchased Enyce for over $114 million, a full $96 million more than P Diddy’s price, but there’s a reason why its being offered the bargain basement price.
Enyce’s brand seems so yesterday, [...]

Oliver Stone’s “W.” - Probably Terrible
July 28, 2008
After watching this trailer, our first reaction was “terrible”. Considering that Oliver Stone is a bonified auteur, we decided to give it another look. Yep, still terrible. The White House casting looks less credible than an episode of “24″, and the choice of framing George W. Bush’s life in terms of his [...]

Ludacris’ ‘Politics’ Puts Obama on Defensive
July 31, 2008

In the song, appropriately titled “Politics“, Ludacris calls Hillary Clinton an irrelevant “b*tch” and President Bush is labeled “mentally handicapped”. As for John [...]

Malaysia the New Jewel of Southeast Asia
October 24, 2008
People speak of Vientienne, Laos, and the serenity of Hue, Vietnam. Legendary outposts for sure, but it seems to us that a nation and culture brimming with energy and often overlooked is Malaysia. When one thinks of beaches for example, Thailand is considered the king, with tiny islands and clear blue views in each direction. [...]
