Drill Here. Drill Now. An open letter to Congress

We are paying high prices now for the incompetence congress has shown in the past. I don’t want $20 per gallon gas and unless you are being bribed by a foreign government, you shouldn’t either. India and China will get the oil we have off the coast of Florida via slant drilling if we don’t...

Culture Trip?

Extremely rough notes from this Channel 4 event inspired by government plans to offer all children five hours of access to arts and ‘high culture’ per week. I got tired towards the end, and gave up completely for the Question & Answer session. Janey Walker, Head of Education Channel 4 is...
