Gingrich: Why They Don’t Have an Energy Crisis and We Do
Norway, unlike the United States, has successfully avoided the “everywhere versus nowhere” trap when it comes to drilling offshore for oil and gas. It is the result when aggressive energy developers demand the unconstrained right to drill everywhere while environmental extremists assert that drilling can occur nowhere….

Donal Blaney has written a piece critical of ConHome’s Tim Montgomerie supporting publically PM Brown’s 42 days of detention. In an appalling development Gordon Brown name checked ConHome in support of his proposal in today’s PMQs. Considering the Tories are against it makes ConHome look a bit daft.
Andrew says: This is just bad. I am appalled that Tim publically stated his support for 42 days. Besides being wrong on the subject he should not be helping the government if he runs a site called Conservative Home. Did he not think that Brown would jump at the chance to show such a “split” in the Tory ranks?
Update: ConHome fanboyz don’t seem to get how foolish Tim’s comments were and they are trashing anyone who does. The lack of understanding the nature of political spin in relation to the internet is very worrying.
1 commentTen questions for our Muslim friends…
Liberal democratic values are under increasing threat, at home and abroad, from radical Islamism. Yet many so-called ‘liberals’ – some deliberately, others unwittingly – are complicit with those seeking to destroy those values…I await the answers to my ten questions with interest

Well looks like the cat and mouse game is on again. After all the happy days of multiple unlocking solutions coming out of every corner of the world, now we’re are faced with the biggest hurdle yet.
Andrew says: AT&T is not making itself look very good either. Their charge for non-registration after 30 days is just ludicrous. My recommendation is that you just keep on with your ole’ iPhone and ignore the new “features”. I can’t seem anything that really excites me about the new iPhone anyway. What exactly is worth losing your freedom to chose what network you are using anywhere in the world?

A Dirge or a Song of Celebration
Roberts’s book is a celebration of America’s achievements as he sees them during the twentieth century. I wonder what his great-grandchild will write a hundred years hence about America’s role in the twenty first century. I fear it will be a dirge instead of a song of celebration.

Forget Hillary and the others who have made Obama’s short list of running-mate possibilities. If he decides a female will help enhance his electoral hopes, then Arianna Huffington should be high on the list, if not at the top. She is the Queen of the Left in the United States and she dominates the blogosphere and broadcast waves with her no-nonsense viewpoint.
Good grief. This one is truly off the wall, out of left field. (Or look back a few years, and it`s out of right field.)
Leaving aside the erratic Ms. Huffington`s political leanings, there`s a minor roadblock in the form of the US Constitution:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Since the Vice President must be available to serve as President in case of death or incapacity; and since the President must be a native-born citizen (the `fourteen-year Resident` clause is unclear and has never been litigated, but most observers agreed that it precluded any Presidential ambitions by people like Austrian-born Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm; and since Huffington was born in Athens, Greece . . . well, it was an interesting idea for a newspaper column, but that`s as far as it`s going.
