Roger Moore, suave actor who held James Bond role the longest, dies at 89...

As fun as it is poking the hypocrites who burst blood vessels over Obama's failure to use the term "radical Islamic terrorism" and are perfectly OK with Trump doing the exact same thing, I thought the speech yesterday was pretty good. Bizarrely, Trump may turn out to be a pretty decent...

Trump isn't like Nixon at all. Nixon was most dangerous and damaging when he was lying (which was pretty much all the time). Trump is most dangerous and damaging when he tells the truth.

Comey documented Trump request to drop Flynn investigation in memo: source By Pierre Thomas Cecilia Vega Adam Kelsey May 16, 2017, 7:16 PM ET James Comey, the recently fired FBI director, was asked by President Donald Trump to end an investigation into the actions of former...

Oregon man carries mother’s severed head into a grocery, stabs a clerk, police say By Derek Hawkins May 16 at 4:51 AM It had been a quiet Mother’s Day afternoon at the Harvest Market Thriftway in Estacada, Ore., until Joshua Lee Webb barged into the...

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian diplomats The president’s disclosures to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State — an information-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details...

Think about this for a second. The Trumpublican Party controls the House, the Senate, and the White House. They have an ambitious legislative agenda, and the power to put it through. Fortunately for Dumbocrats, Kim Jong Don lashes around like an ADHD rattlesnake with a broken back, constantly...

So, heard a thing on the radio with a Deep Thinker analyzing how we can impeach Trump. Impressive legal and historical knowledge. Deficient arithmetic skills.

So, there's no hydro power? The Grand Coulee Dam is fake news?

Because oil is transportable and electricity isn't, and cannot be made transportable, right? In your mind? Probably EEE-vil Kenyan Muslim socialists. I'm sure there were many people in the kerosene lamp industry (and outside it) who were convinced electric light bulbs were a plot to hurt them.

Unless you consider the resources expended in transporting it. Yet. And that statement is becoming less true week by week. The sun never sets on the empire.

There could be a drought. A meteor strike could divert the river. A giant, 200-meter, radioactive mutant beaver could build a dam! Won't somebody PLEASE think of the poor, starving oil companies!

Trying to lead you to the concept that transportation is part of the energy system. Oil is transported from the well, to the refinery, to the generators. The resulting electricity is transported to homes, factories, &c. I understand your resistance. Because once you accept that energy can be...

I repeat, what good does it do hundreds of miles away from a generator?

What use is oil that's hundreds of miles (or even hundreds of yards) from the generating facility?

Why does renewable energy "rely on the vagaries of weather" but petroleum not rely on the vagaries of where oil deposits are?

But that's not analogous to a back-up generator. Ohhhh-KAY.

Why does it "cast a pall?" Is that not analogous to saying that the fact that hospitals and other critical infrastructure have back-up generators for power outages "casts a pall" over the electricity distribution grid?

Why?
