Hybrid Progress at Auto Show

10% of the new models shown the recent Detroit Auto Show were hybrids, some getting 150-mpg.

Decades of lobbying for alternative energies are paying off, in models like the Chevrolet Volt, Saturn Vue 2, the Honda CR-Z, BMW's X6, the Toyota A-BAT and the Jeep Renegade, (picture below), which gets 110-mpg.

General Motors also building factories to convert switch grass and even recycled trash into bio fuels. Some of the new models can drive 40 miles totally gas-free with one overnight plug-in recharge.

Let's continue to offer changes like this our full enthusiasm and some real legislative support!

US Marine on the Run: Rape & Murder?

MARINE CORPORAL Cesar Laurean, accused of raping and murdering a fellow Marine (who he got pregnant), might have fled to Mexico. Complaints filed by the woman to her commanding officer were dismissed, ignored and attempted to be covered-up by military officials.

A hard things needs to be said here: all soldiers are not heroes --although that is the propaganda we're suppose to spin these days.

Someone who joins the army is a soldier. Someone who risks their life or saves the life of another is a hero. This is important because if we accept the propaganda of "all soldiers are heroes" then that would mean our invasion and occupation of Iraq would, therefore, be heroic.

It's like the false idea we're over in Iraq because "we're fighting for freedom." This is not true. We're fighting for Oil and Israel.

It's a sad a tragic story. Both in Iraq and also with Corporal Cesar Armando Laurean and 20-year old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach.

Even worse, guaranteed to make it worse, is to allow ourselves to be pacified by such cheap and easy spin and propaganda. Not all soldiers are heros. Not all wars are good, nor for 'freedom.'

In truth, our actions in Iraq are as evil as the crimes for which Cesar Armando Laurean is accused.
