We haven't had a terrorist attack, but the economy is on the edge of collapse while Obama nobly cuts his golfing time from eighteen to nine holes. The Crawford Ranch was the unofficial western White House, and while there, Bush used it exactly that way. Where is Obama's official vacation residence--the mayor's office in Chicago?LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-80134520937470175572011-08-21T18:41:52.553-04:002011-08-21T18:41:52.553-04:00Tehachapi Tom: Also remember that Democrats love ...Tehachapi Tom: Also remember that Democrats love to play with the market. They claimed to deregulate the costs of producing and delivering power, but in fact they re-regulated it allowing costs to rise at wholesale, but froze the delivery price at retail. So while many Californians were paying 50 cents per kilowatt, the power companies were paying 75 cents. That couldn't last long, and it didn't. Hence, rolling brownouts and blackouts.<br /><br />Like everything else, California has abundant sources of power, but there is an overabundance of bureaucrats and agencies to prevent any development.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-84423636306968623332011-08-21T18:34:46.729-04:002011-08-21T18:34:46.729-04:00Andrew: This is about the only crazed green schem...Andrew: This is about the only crazed green scheme that won't impact us in my part of the country. We have a lot of hydroelectric power, and along with fossil fuels, we use nuclear power. Coal is a very insignificant part of our power delivery. So our greenies are trying to "stop the destruction of the environment" by prohibiting new hydroelectric dams and removing many of the existing ones. Nuclear power has long been on their hit list. Eventually we'll just live on magical rays coming from Neptune.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-56278538129244903702011-08-21T18:10:51.078-04:002011-08-21T18:10:51.078-04:00I think it's funny that the Left is now scream...I think it's funny that the Left is now screaming again about how Obama's taken less vacation days at this point in his presidency than Dubya did in his. That is of course neglecting the fact that a lot of Bush's "vacation days" were at his Crawford ranch, which I suspect was a better place for getting actual work done than Martha's Vineyard is.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-10024532425197732792011-08-21T17:57:43.954-04:002011-08-21T17:57:43.954-04:00Hawk

With that said don't they (the green weenies) read?<br />Even my 13 year old grandson and his 12 year old cousin know better.<br />Shades of Gray Davis and our power crunch a few years ago. There is still what was a viable power generating plant in Bakersfield that is just sitting there rusting away because of that clown and his onerous regulations.Tehachapi Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-55947468327249945612011-08-21T17:30:58.223-04:002011-08-21T17:30:58.223-04:00Good times.

He doesn't have to do anything because he has the biggest bureaucracy in American history to carry out his socialist/statist/bureaucratic agenda.<br /><br />In their perfect world, <i>we</i> give up petroleum products, electricity, automobiles and other modern amenities so that <i>they</i> can have them. By virtue of saving us from ourselves, they have earned the right to have the modern conveniences we will not be allowed to have. <br /><br />Too bad Bob Hope and Bing Crosby aren't around to do one more road picture--<i>The Road to Serfdom</i>, script by F. von Hayek.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-35952356580574770292011-08-21T16:42:00.705-04:002011-08-21T16:42:00.705-04:00Remember folks, do not watch the bouncing ball (Ba...Remember folks, do not watch the bouncing ball (Barry).
