"It is pay-back big time for the occupants of the Land of the Snapper Turtle. Driving the honker Ford F250 down the dirt road, singing honkey-tonk trash lyrics, and running down the cow !!!"- Andrew Hac, who scares the living crap out of me while cracking me up, June 2008

FLASH: OilPANIC UK-style as British government urges citizens not to panic
2008-06-10 18:56:00
And you know what happens when the government tells people not to panic...Oh, the lines at the pumps will be interesting to watch. Kind of like the lines outside of Northern Rock locations last year. And the lines at the gas pumps in Phoenix a few years back when they had a pipeline bust.Anyone feeling 1970's right about now? Got a little Iran problem building too just to make it fun...Drivers urged not to panic buy fuelA planned four day strike by 500 oil tanker drivers has been attacked by Downing Street as the Government urged motorists not to panic buy fuel amid fears of petrol shortages.Talks aimed at resolving the row are due to be held at a secret location under the chairmanship of the conciliation service Acas, but time is running out to break the deadlocked row.Prime Minister Gordon Brown's spokesman said contingency plans were in hand to minimise disruption using new measures put in place last week. He told reporters: "We believe that this strike is unnecessary and we...

2008-06-10 07:01:00
It's amazing (and sad) to watch Carter talk about solar and renewables, the permanent energy shortage, and the need for conservation, THIRTY F*CKING YEARS AGO.And yet we did nothing. NOTHING.Why? Why did the US waste thirty years under Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush?Because that's what the lobbyists and the Energy and Auto Industrial Complex wanted.And now for America (and the world), it's too late. Now, we all pay the price of inaction.The good news? We now have an energy emergency. The talk about a "Manhattan Project" for energy might become a reality (under a new president and Congress). And energy now floats (for the time being) to the very top of the list of issues impacting regular Americans' lives.Here's five big EnergyPANIC ideas, what are yours?1) Conservation (oh, if Bush would only say the word)2) Solar/Wind/Nuclear/Non-Food Renewables Investment and Subsidies3) Massive Mass Transit Development4) Dramatic Fuel Efficiency Standard Improvement5) Vote every incumbent out of o...

2008-06-09 10:14:00
Actually, not a lot of surprises on this list, except for some great cities that didn't make it. Maybe the biggest surprise is that Minneapolis ranked as the only mainland US entrant. Nice, friendly, well-planned city, but one of the best in the world? Nah.I'd add these to the list (thinking about 'cities', not towns):* Strasburg* Budapest* Prague* Seattle* Rome* FlorenceOne thing to take away from lists like these is how America can make its cities better. Significant mass transit, subsidized independent shops, restaurants and cafes (versus chain stores), well-utilized outdoor gathering spaces, and closed-off pedestrian streets are an easy start for any mayor.US cities will continue to lag unless the people demand something different. This list should inspire. And $10 gas could change everything.Here's the Top 20 from Monocle magazine.

2008-06-08 23:34:00
(You get tomorrow's news today here at HP, so figured we'd skip forward a few months and just let you know how it's gonna be just a bit down the road...)______HP'ers, please join me in wishing President-elect Obama well after his landslide win tonight. Even though we may disagree with some of his policies, the nation has overwhelmingly voted for a change, and change we will now have.Also a big congratulations goes out to the voters for putting the past awful eight years and The Worst President Ever behind us, allowing for a re-introduction of the American brand to the world.These are exciting and historic days for our nation, but oh, what a mess Obama and the overwhelmingly Democratic-controlled Congress will have on their hands. Let's see if they're up to the task. And hey, they can't possibly screw it up worse than the Republicans did. Right?

HousingPANIC Stupid Question of the Day

2008-06-08 09:58:00
HousingPANIC made a stink about this when it happened back in March 2006. But barely a news story was written, and not a peep from Congress was heard.I think it's pretty obvious to most now that your government lies to you. Your government, burdened by a $53 trillion IOU, is in a position where it has to deceive you. And if you believe the government's inflation data, or social benefit promises, you are a fool.But I think it's getting tougher and tougher to hide the truth. Now it's out there for everyone to see.You can see it at the grocery store. You can see it at the gas station. You can see it with the sea of "foreclosure" and "for sale" signs up and down your street. You can fool some of the people some of the time... And thanks to shadowstats for showing everyone the ugly truth, even if we're no longer supposed to see it...
