It takes between one to four barrels of water to produce a single barrel of oil from oil shale, quite reasonable compare to 1,700 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of ethanol. And one barrel of oil developed from oil shale will cost somewhere between $37 to $65, pretty reasonable. Also, the federal government, reads our tax dollars, doesn't need to subsidize oil shale development the same way it did for ethanol. As far as proven technology, a Brazil company has the technology. I say go for it the same way Thomas Edison developed the electric light bulb instead of sitting around waiting ...

The race for chairman of the RNC will be decided at the January meeting of the RNC. Former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele may seem to be a perfect candidate but take a look at this before you decide.

Watched on FoxNews the interview of Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal during the Republican Governors Association meeting in Florida. I think he would be a good match for Obama in four or eight years. Whenever asked about Sarah Palin in the context of 2012, he would say it's not important who the messenger is but it's the message that's important and gave examples of how he as governor has been able to implement conservative policies in the state of Louisiana. Pretty shrewd!

I've heard a lot about him from my friends who are Louisiana Young Republicans during his second run for the governorship of Louisiana. He was too nice and did not respond to negative ads in his first run. Lost the first time and learned his lesson and won the second time around. During the open primary, opponent was running ads attacking him for his Catholic faith in the northern part of Louisiana, where the majority of the voters are Protestant. That prompted me to search out and read his article where he expounded on his Catholic doctrinal beliefs. I found the man had true conviction in his faith and not just Christian in name only or worse, faith that is convenient for election like many of our politicians. More importantly, I as a Protestant found nothing really offensive but rather nodding my head a lot in agreement with what he had to say.

I would say Bobby Jindal and Sarah Palin or another conservative Republican female candidate would be a good ticket in 2012 or 2016.

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok, and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution. The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

Michella Obama, the next first lady of this country, was not proud of this country when in whole or in part it collectively

elected a black governor of a state that formerly had the capital of the Confederate,

appointed a black justice to the US Supreme Court,

appointed a five-star general as the chairman of the joint chief of staffs,

elected a black senator who is her own husband to the US Senate.

Only when the entire nation nominated her husband to be the candidate for the highest elected office in the land can she be satisfied, what does it say about her?

And please do not tell me a Harvard law school graduate in a public setting misspoke something like this.

The morning after, I pledge to accord president-elect Obama all the respect due the office of the president but will work with everything I've got to make sure he fails to implement any and every of his policy proposals to the maximum extent possible. And will keep track of what he promised during the campaign and what he's able to achieve while in office so we can have a record four years from now to compare.

You think it couldn't get worse but then it did. Obama started with no rap sheet, in the words of Joe Biden, first mainstream African-American who is articulate, bright and clean. Then it seems Obama hasn't learned scandal 101: it's never the sin but the cover up that does you in. If you don't believe it, ask Republican president Richard M. Nixon about Watergates or Democrat Bill J. Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. So far, Obama claimed:

himself to be a natural born US citizen but refused to produce a certificate of birth

not to know that his very own beloved aunt is an illegal immigrant

not to know that his very own beloved aunt is a foreign national, and therefore it's illegal for him to take her campaign contributions, which leads me to question from how many other foreigners did he "unknowingly" receive campaign contributions.
