Martin, I'll tell you something about Boone Pickens …

You don't tell me anything really, except your preference for some other prophecy. Why imagine that offshore oil drillers covet subsidies any less than anyone else?

"Am I the only one tht began having trouble accessing the Cafe Hayek website last week.

I went two or three days with being told that it could not be opened, then it was fixed and now this morning I am back to the not available screen again."

Any clue as to what is going on?

One person.

Makes a real farce out of that equal representation thing doesn't it?

It doesn't matter that she is doing it out of playing policitcs for future advantage (after election); what matters is that one representative (Nancy Pelosi) has the power under the Constitution Art 1. Sec 5, Para 2. which allowed our congresscritters to create this traversty of representation. She could be the head of a committee instead of Spealer of the House and she still would have the power to block it…..of course she wouldn't have the power to order the lights turned off, the microphones, turned off, and the cameras of C-span shut down if she were the simple head of a committee in opposition to the Speaker, but what matters again is the simple fact that our government can be held hostage to one person. And proof of that is slapping you across your chops right now…..once again.

One person, Ladies and Gents, and most likely it ain't your person. Kinda sucks doesn't it?

"As for nuclear, my understanding is that it would be an alternative to hydrocarbon based fuels for production of electricity – which is a large chunk of demand and why petroleum companies see it as a viable threat. I don't know how much it will do for transportation.

My goodness lady, a small nuke explosion in the rear of your SUV ought to propel you for a long way, that may be threat enough.

You forgot to ask me when I stopped beating my husband!
