As usual, our feckless friends the Democrats are showing that they have one standard for themselves and another one for everybody else. Let the Screaming Match Begin.
This whole Plamegate is a non-starter. People are calling for Karl Rove’s head when it hasn’t even been proven that a crime has been committed. Ms. Plame had to have been on assignment within the last five years, she hadn’t been on assignment outside the U.S. in nine years. It’s also been stated by the prosecutor that Mr. Rove is not the target of the investigation.
How much clearer can you get? Obviously facts don’t get in the way of a good Democrat rant.
Then comes the other side of the coin. Sandy ‘Burglar’ Berger was literally caught with his pants down and full of classified documents. He then took these highly classified documents home and destroyed them “by accident.” What does he get? A slap on the wrist and loss of his security clearance for a couple of years.
Why we let him off so easily I’ll never know. If I had some something like this when I had a security clearance, I would have been in prison for years. Such is the politics of the powerful I guess.
At least when you’re a Democrat.

This is something I’ve known for a long time: Study says ethanol not worth the energy.
This is one of those ideas that sound good, rather than a good, sound idea.

But researchers at Cornell University and the University of California-Berkeley say it takes 29 percent more fossil energy to turn corn into ethanol than the amount of fuel the process produces. For switch grass, a warm weather perennial grass found in the Great Plains and eastern North America United States, it takes 45 percent more energy and for wood, 57 percent.

This is because you must harvest this energy, which takes a lot of energy to harvest. Corn, wood, grass, are all dispersed over a wide area, instead of the other way around, with oil you need only drill a single hole and have all of it right there. Oil requires only a single “cracking” to separate it into the different chemicals that we use out of it. Biodiesel requires a set of processes to change biomass into biodiesel.
We need to look elsewhere to solve our energy needs.
