This light shines in the darkess, but can it shine through the fiscal woes that we are only beginning to see? The Cap and Trade Law that the Representatives passed last night will add to the cost of anything that requires energy. Added to this will be the higher taxes that it will take to fund the bureaucracy necessary to administer it. Then there will be the corruption where politicians will help their friends and campaign donors get carbon credits with the costs filtered down into the higher costs for the products and services we buy. Of course, the world will praise the administration for passing this -- it gives them the competitive advantage.

At least this light is solar-powered!

Blow me down!

The Portsmouth windmill is quieter than I expected, and it's really, really big. I wonder if it is big enough to blow those politicians out of the RI legislature!! I doubt it! They're weighed down with their special interests groups that include everyone except the TAXPAYERS!!

I'd like one of these so that I won't have higher electric bills after the US Congress passes that "Cap and Trade" energy bill. What a way to hamstring the economy during a downturn. Of course, Europe is in favor of its passage.

Solidarity with Iranian pro-democracy movement

The suppression of the pro-Democracy demonstrators in Iran is appalling. The U.S. government is not doing enough to denounce the violence against the demonstrators. Being "moved" is nothing. Do something. Say something substantive. I thought that this administration would be eager to jump on allegations of election fraud.

There cannot be a lack of "irregularities" if there are more votes cast than there are registered voters.

Well, I'm only one pup, but I can denounce the unjust actions of the Iranian government against its own people.
