Doctor Tom's Rant

Energy Policy: Lots of Heat, No Light The president has repeatedly asserted that the United States cannot possibly produce the amount of oil that it consumes.  To support this claim, he points to the relatively small level of proven reserves within the United States' borders, and emphasizes that this small reserve could not possibly fulfill America's enormous consumption.  But this misleads the American public because it disguises the meaning of "proven reserves" and misleads citizens to believe that there remain no undiscovered oil assets, says Irwin Stelzer, director of economic policy studies at the Hudson Institute. In 2000 it was estimated that reserves that fit the Obama definition totaled some 20 billion barrels. Over the next 10 years, oil producers in the United States produced approximately 20 billion barrels, and yet the end-decade estimate of proven reserves was still 20 billion barrels. Furthermore, an element of this misleading claim on the part of ...

A posting I recently saw was so well done. I, of course, have taken literary license to add my opinions as well. Certainly all the statements have at one time or another been repeated in my mind. Dave Letterman, a self professed intellectual with an extreme attraction to the opposite sex and Barack Obama, has been very much protective of his president. On his show, he questioned Brian Williams. Please continue on:                                                 An Open Letter to Dave Letterman:  Dear Dave I saw your swell show the other night with the hilariously biased Brian Williams and heard you ask a question, with a degree of frustration and disbelief, concerning Obama ...ie....What more do we want this man to do for us, honest to God? If I may, I'd like to take a shot at that answer. First of all, why do you invoke God? There is a separation of church ...

                "There are two sides to every story" but   we don't always get the truth from the media.  The liberal controlled media...television  news...newspapers...magazines...radio...all continue to show 12 year old Trayvon Martin...NOT 17 year old Trayvon MArtin... they continue to show the 5 year old picture BECAUSE it helps to cement in your mind the little, cute, hoodie wearing youngster who was stalked by this monster. In reality.."little Trayvon"...at the time of his death.. .stood almost 6'2" tall...weighed 175 muscular pounds ...had numerous run ins with authorities (both at school and local police)...had been stopped and almost arrested two days before his death for... smacking a bus driver in the face...because the driver refused to let him ride for free ...he was released because the driver was told not to press charges by the bus company and to continue on his route. When "little Trayvon" was suspende...

I remember when getting a government job meant that person wanted security and benefits and traded it for a lower pay grade. Well, it seems that recently these jobs have been giving both high salaries and benefits including bonuses some of which are automatic. This article is from Fox News: "Not bad for government work.  A new in-depth database of federal worker salaries shows the government paid out a whopping $105 billion in salaries last year for most of its civilian workforce -- to boot, the workers got $439 million in bonuses.  The information, which was obtained and number-crunched by  The Asbury Park Press  through a Freedom of Information Act request. In fact, many workers get all those things.  "They get better pay and they especially get better benefits," said James Sherk, senior policy analyst with the conservative Heritage Foundation.  The database,  which is now online , allows users to enter a federal worker's name and their dep...

Most people aren’t aware that when you cook meat (whether it’s grilled, broiled, or seared) there are carcinogenic compounds that can form called HCA’s (heterocyclic amines).  Now don’t panic…you ingest various carcinogens all the time, even with some vegetables. You can always protect yourself with more antioxidants. Please Note:   When you cook meat in a water base as opposed to grilling, broiling, or searing, you eliminate the harmful HCAs. So for example, meats cooked in a soup, or meats cooked in a crock pot, will not have the problem of the carcinogenic HCAs and is a healthier way to cook meat. But let’s face it… grilled meat tastes  awesome  and there’s no way I’m giving up my grass-fed steak from the grill, or my grass-fed burgers! That’s why it’s important to know that there’s a way you can  use spices to both counteract, and also drastically reduce the carcinogens formed when you grill meat… Here’s the trick: If you’re going to grill meats, ma...

"Years from now, historians may regard t he 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon , the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria, akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job? Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-Presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer" ; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present") ; and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate , the entirety of which was devoted to hi...
