OT >Michael, BIG OIL too big? How incendiary can one [author, not you] become? No political reply here, though the article begs for a rational reply. I will only note that the HUGE TRIBAL gambling profits are a consequence of legal prejudice and state-sanctioned racial monopolies. Of course, these profits have no relationship to the Abramhoff scandal. wp

>>>F&*@#)ing clowns<<< Ah Commander. I couldn't agree more. Someone posted a nice article this AM which suggested that at the current levels, the world today consumes in a year all of the energy which nature can produce in 400 years though switch grass, solar panels, switch grass, etc. I gave a lecture on the energy to an adult class at the local college a couple of years ago. I found an interesting graphic which suggested that if about 1/3 of the area of the US was covered with solar panels, we would harvest enough energy to drive the US at current levels. Driving home, all I could hear on the radio was talk about the energy crisis, and the SOU speech. I would venture to guess that 90% of journalists think that we are just a few billion R&D dollars away from not only maintaining our current lifestyle, but even having more and in beautiful green circumstances. If it weren't so serious, it would be hysterically funny. As for the good Sen Specter...I am a Philly boy. I grew up listening to his BS. He has always been a lunatic, opportunist, prostitute. There is a certain Ira Einhorn (the "Unicorn") who was recently given a life sentence for killing his girlfriend back in the free wheeling, pot smoking '60s. He and Specter were best friends. Specter defended him (for free I think), until Ira figured he was going to fry, and skipped out to southern France for about three decades. Great judge of character is Old Arlen. "it raises big questions about whether something needs to be done in the merger and acquisitions field" Memo to Arlen: Read Hubbert's Peak and get over it. As investors we have to crank this in. Absent Cramer, Joe Six Pack would never have heard of CHK. If Specter said lets tax CHK, no points would be scored with Joe. Exxon is a different story. I'll bet CHK has a higher profit margin than Exxon, and if profit margin was the true evil, than CHK would be whacked first and hardest. What to do??? Fly under the radar with CHK and PTEN. Drive old cars and wear thread bare shirts, and never, ever let on about your CHK profits. It wouldn't be a bad idea to start to expatriate some $$$. I keep thinking Woodside Petroleum. Take delivery on the certificates, and don't put them in a safe deposit box - Patriot Act you know.
