It's true.<BR/><BR/>Are you as "red" as that?<BR/><BR/>He's not a moderate - he's a detached radical. (See : Harriet Miers & the conservative backlash to her nomination for one example)<BR/><BR/>He's also in his last thoes; grasping for an issue that will give him a chance to keep his head above water. And what is he grasping at? Renewable energy!<BR/><BR/>Now, you can discount global climate change all you want (see; NOAA predictions for this season's hurricanes), but you can't argue with the fact that A MAN, OUR PRESIDENT, WHO LITERALLY KISSES AND HOLDS HANDS WITH SAUDI ROYALTY AND IS HIMSELF AN OIL MAN, is turning toward a logical path for future policy. He isn't turning to logic because that is where he wants to be. He is turning in that direction because it is a shot at saving his place in history. <BR/><BR/>Watch for more talk from W(and perhaps some action?) about national security, the environment, and the economy being tied to renewable energery here in the US. Yes, he's that radical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1146068341697796492006-04-26T12:19:00.000-04:002006-04-26T12:19:00.000-04:00um, err, uh, the federal government is bigger now ...um, err, uh, the federal government is bigger now than it has ever been. ever.<BR/><BR/>look into it.<BR/><BR/>(and they aren't melting. they melted. fact. look into it.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1146025705904229882006-04-26T00:28:00.000-04:002006-04-26T00:28:00.000-04:00Chip,Hopefully people are re-financing to fixed be...Chip,<BR/>Hopefully people are re-financing to fixed before those ARMs re-set.

The question is "where on the planet should I move to have the best chance of surviving the coming heat, high water, and food shortages?"<BR/><BR/>If you aren't going to be affected by global climate change, I think it is fair to say that the average third grader is going to lead a very different lifestyle from her parents (one in which pandemics and food and energy shortages are commonplace)<BR/><BR/>Now where were we?

I think not. The possibility of a recession is real.<BR/>Let's look at some facts. Lofty house prices, high personal debt, high fuel cost, rising interest rates. Inflation and/or increased business closures will happen. I can't help but conclude there will be a major increase on foreclosures and lending institutions are going to take a hit. Remember the S&L crisis of the early 90s (very similiar).<BR/>I don't see how the economy will have an optimistic future based on these conditions. Is there anything that you could think that are signs of a good economic future? I don't know for sure what will happen, but I do know that we are skating on thin ice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1145974646901861232006-04-25T10:17:00.000-04:002006-04-25T10:17:00.000-04:00David,Do you know of any sites that specifically t...David,<BR/><BR/>Do you know of any sites that specifically track condo pricing in the DC Metro area?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1145973556947778002006-04-25T09:59:00.000-04:002006-04-25T09:59:00.000-04:00Oh shut up already with the never-ending gloom and...Oh shut up already with the never-ending gloom and doom.
