Fasten Your Seatbelts…Oil May Hit $12 Per Gallon
2008-05-22 20:00:00 One expert says today’s gas prices may look like the good old days. “The prices that we’re paying at the pump today are, I think, going to be ‘the good old days,’ because others who watch this very closely forecast that we’re going to be hitting $12 and $15 a gallon, and then, after that, when world oil production goes into decline, we’re going to talk about rationing,” Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Advisor, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “In other words, not only are we going to be paying high prices and have considerable economic problems, but in addition to that, we’re not going to be able to get the fuel when we want it.” Hirsch argued that the maximum in world oil production has already been hit. “The idea is that [world oil production] would hit a sharp peak and then drop off, and what’s happened is, we’ve hit a plateau in world oil production, a...
Presidential Candidates Make Nice with the U.N.
2008-05-22 18:41:00 While the embracement of the U.N. from each of the three candidates varied, none of them outright condemned the organization as they should have: NEW YORK — Sen. Barack Obama would talk directly with adversaries, without the fig leaf of multilateralism. Sen. John McCain wants to create a “League of Democracies” to take action when a divided U.N. Security Council won’t. And Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton would beef up peacekeeping missions around the globe with American cash, assets, trainers and technocrats. None of the candidates would radically alter when or how the United States engages the United Nations, according to their own senior foreign-policy advisers, but each would tweak the relationship in his or her own way. And the consensus around the halls of the United Nations is that the U.S.-U.N. relationship is likely to warm noticeably in January, regardless of who becomes the next president. {Source: Washington Times} All three presidential candidates support the br...

MA Dem Governor: No In-State Tuition for Illegals!

Cop Killing Illegal Immigrant Spared Death Penalty
2008-05-22 14:01:00 Illegal Immigrant Juan Leonardo Quintero-Perez, who killed police officer Rodney Johnson 2 years ago, was spared the death penalty at his sentencing yesterday: Almost two years ago, Juan Leonardo Quintero predicted in a jail house interview that he would be sent to the death chamber for shooting Houston police officer Rodney Johnson. “I was wrong,” he said Wednesday from a Harris County jail a day after he was sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. It was a verdict that outraged Johnson’s family and local law enforcement but served as a victory for death penalty opponents in a county that has sent more people to Texas’ death row than any other. The verdict also reignited debate about illegal immigration, as Quintero had been deported before he sneaked back into the United States. {Source: Houston Chronicle} Let me reiterate my thoughts about this from when I posted on this story on May 9th: Enough is enough already. This is THE deciding issue f... More About: Death , Death penalty , Illegal , Penalty
