Our looming crises

While the Bush administration has been a failure on many levels, it has reserved its' broadest failure for our energy supplies.

China is kicking our bottom all over the globe in this department in large part due to our international pariah status.

Andy Griffith always kept Barney Fife's bullets because he knew that Barney would shoot himself in the foot. Barney Fife, to further indulge the analogy, is president Bush. Andy Griffith was supposed to be played by Dick Cheney, but my suspicion is that he suffers from dementia.

Now Barney Fife has plenty of bullets and Andy Griffith is instead egging him on and people are being tortured in Mayberry.

Back to reality.

In this editorial Noam Chomsky claims that US hostility is driving our current oil suppliers into China's arms.


Funding China's rise


What will power US implements of destruction if we persist in making so many enemies?

What will happen to our economy when China not only holds much of our debt, but also the tools to wreak havoc with our economy?

Why hasn't Congress gone to work on Bush's impeachment yet?
