Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
I published “Global Warming or Just Hot Air” on February 16, 2005—almost 10 years ago. In it I maintained that: Global warming (and cooling) are natural phenomena that have occurred in cycles since the beginning of time. But, for a more updated and authoritative proffer, consider this from Patrick Moore, PhD, the co-founder of environmental… Read more.
Just two years ago, a phone-hacking scandal seemed to be metastasizing within the worldwide conglomerate of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. As things turned out, he excised it by closing down his oldest and most profitable tabloid, The News of the World, whose editor was sentenced just weeks ago to 18 months in prison for his… Read more.

It is ironic, though, that some renowned scientists (including Dr… Read more.
Only a couple weeks ago I published a commentary explaining why it came as no surprise that last month’s summit of Asia-Pacific leaders – that was intended to produce a consensus on legally binding climate change commitments – produced nothing but hot air. I noted that my cynicism about this Chicken-Little nature of the efforts… Read more.
