Sarah Palin Supports the Ryan Roadmap
In an opinion piece, in the WSJ titled “Why I Support the Ryan Roadmap,” Sarah Palin praises Paul Ryan’s (R., Wisc.), “Roadmap for America’s Future” and says that it “offers a reliable path to long-term solvency for our entitlement programs, and it does so by encouraging personal responsibility and independence”.

Paul Ryan. Ο επόμενος Πρόεδρος;
Ο Paul Ryan ανήκει σε στην νέα γενιά των Ρεπουμπλικάνων. Όχι μόνο λόγω ηλικίας – είναι μόλις 42, αλλά κυρίως λόγω τρόπου σκέψης. Εργατικός, εξαιρετικά ευφυής και λιτός στις δηλώσεις του, γίνεται όλο και περισσότερο γνωστός στην πολιτική σκηνή των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών. Στα 28 του, αν θυμάμαι καλά, εκλέχτηκε για πρώτη φορά γερουσιαστής και από τότε η πορεία του είναι ανοδική. Κάποιοι, κυρίως από το κόμμα του, τον θεωρούν μάλλον δύστροπο.

An active 2010 Hurricane Season is coming to the Atlantic and ….the Gulf.
According to NOAA’s 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook, we can expect an “active to extremely active” season. More specific, it calls for an 85% chance of an above normal season and indicates only a 10% chance of a near-normal season and a 5% chance of a below-normal season.

Thomas Friedman:”You can’t fool Mother Nature.” – No More Offshore Drilling
The world needs the US to move away from oil, and work with us instead to drive forward the global clean energy revolution. Let’s use this moment to send a world-wide message to President Obama, urging him to overturn offshore drilling expansion

Το ποσοστό των Αμερικανών που στηρίζει offshore γεωτρήσεις μειώθηκε δραματικά μετά την καταστροφή στον Κόλπο του Μεξικού
Παρόλο που οι περισσότεροι ψηφοφόροι στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες της Αμερικής εξακολουθούν να στηρίζουν τις υπεράκτιες (offshore) γεωτρήσεις πετρελαίου, αυτή η στήριξη έχει μειωθεί δραματικά μετά την έκρηξη στην εξέδρα άντλησης πετρελαίου και την μεγάλη διαρροή πετρελαίου στον Κόλπο του Μεξικού.

Business in politics ή τι δουλειά έχει η αλεπού στο κοτέτσι;
Σε μια συζήτηση τις προάλλες ανέφερα η μάλλον προέβλεψα ότι η πολιτική και οι πολιτικοί σε 10-15 χρόνια θα είναι τελείως διαφορετικοί απ’ ότι είναι σήμερα.
