Whether it be 1979 or 2009, CBS’s 60 Minutes has you covered for the H1N1, or Swine flu. After viewing the two, I wonder if correspondent Scott Pelley may be doing a follow-up to this story like Mike Wallace’s in 1979. ‘A crisis is a terrible thing to waste’, eh Rahm? Watch CBS News Videos [...]
Andrew Moylan had a great opinion piece in today’s Wall Street Journal. Mr. Moylan references the Congressional Research Service estimates the potential federal take from ANWR oil development at $191 billion dollars over the next 30 years.

I read a couple of months ago that the City of Dallas, TX was considering shutting off their traffic light cameras. The cameras were installed to promote safety by recording drivers who decided to blow through red lights. The cameras worked and traffic accidents plummeted in some areas.

Quite the contrary…I DO like Mondays. It’s the start of the week and a challenge to do great things for the week. It may be a little rainy and overcast in Northern NJ right now, but I am anticipating this week. The Boomtown Rats may have sung that Brenda Ann Spencer didn’t like Mondays – [...]
If you don’t have the cohones to be a global player in the petroleum industries, you may want to consider needlepoint. As you may know, I have been following the headlines on the TNK-BP saga and today, I was not disappointed.
Let’s say you’re an energy company. You just obatined a lease from the Federal government to drill for oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico. In a brokered deal, the Senate OK’d a portion off Florida’s panhandle coast for exploration. Now what do you do?
