The goal of reducing Middle East imports is a meaningless goal. |
The president is only proposing a 22 percent increase and I rather suspect that Congress will be inclined to provide that assistance. But since the increase is modest, it's probably not going to be enough. |
The president offered bracing new rhetoric about where he would like to take energy policy in the coming year, but he suggested little more than a bit more money for the same old programs that have failed in the past. It's the political equivalent of the triumph of hope over experience. |
There are things teachers implement that aren't reflected in the improvement plans or in scores, ... There are things they are doing right every day. |
This bill will allow politicians to tell voters they're, quote, doing something about high energy prices. And the bill also allows politicians to hand out subsidies and preferences and tax dollars to well-organized interest groups -- and that's what Congress likes to do best. |
This is just a bunch of freaks out there that don't have anything better to do. |
This is less about Americans' addiction to oil than to Republican politicians' addiction to polls. The rhetoric is bracing but the proposals are mercifully trivial. |
Timing is essential in career moves and often cultural climate can impact companies based in rural areas. For instance, someone who has grown up in Manhattan who loves the theater, opera, and New York Yankees might have a hard time picturing themselves in a small city atmosphere. |
To the casual observer, one of the most striking things about President Bush's State of the Union address was his wholesale adaptation of the Democratic Party's rhetoric regarding energy. Veterans on all sides of the energy debate in Washington cannot fail to detect a strong whiff of political cynicism in the air. |
Unless this software is removed I will file a complaint with the FBI. |
We are going to put the fields in the best condition we can, |
We seem to have economic amnesia. Decisions about what sort of technologies to invest in, what fuels to produce and in what quantity are best made by consumers and business, and not by politicians. |
We've learned to be very patient. We really don't know anything. |
What I am asking, I guess, is do you intend to work on it? |
What's high on the radar for environmental organizations has virtually nothing to do with what people think. If you dig deeper, and ask what environmental problems are you concerned about, water from the tap and the local dump tend to outpace global warming. People, when they think about environmental quality, think about it in their own town. |
