I Love My SUV, Get Over It

March 26th, 2003

I am not a fan of the Big Oil junta currently running the USA, but I do have to say that this anti-SUV rhetoric has gotten way out of hand. There are a variety of factors involved in the relationships of oil, pollution, terrorism, etc. and scapegoatting one particular kind of vehicle is assinine. I have walked to work every day for three years, and I rode the bus for two years before that. So in the last five years my American-made SUV has generated much less pollution than the average foreign sedan on its 60 mile round trip from outer suburbia.

How Bush Made Enemies of our Allies

March 17th, 2003

This is an interesting comparison of Governor Bush's handling of Iraq versus President Clinton's handling of Kosovo. It was amazing how much goodwill the rest of the world had towards the U.S. after September 11th, and it is shameful how hard Bush worked to destroy it.
