Gulf Breeze petroleum geologist Klaus H. Gohrbandt asks in a Viewpoint article, "Can Offshore Florida Be a Major Contributor of Oil, Natural Gas?" Short answer: No. Longer answer...

Cover Florida, the health-insurance policy touted by Gov. Charlie Crist as a way to reduce the state's 3.7 million uninsured, is unlikely to work. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a non-profit policy-research group in Washington, D.C., came to that conclusion after analyzing Florida's law which allows insurance companies to offer low-cost plans with limited benefits.

I know it’s asking a lot I’d like to see the mainstream media actually report the truth when they show McCain mocking Obama for suggesting conservation and developing new sources of energy like solar and wind. The Energy Dept. reports that expanding drilling will on the continental shelf add a whopping 0.2% to world oil production in twenty years. The impact to oil prices will be insignificant.

Your Liberal Media At Work

A good example of how the media and many Democrats have falling into the trap of repeating and reinforcing conservative Republican frames is tonight's coverage of the Mississippi primary and the Geraldine Ferraro dust-up. The phrase "playing the race card" is a conservative Republican attack phrase used to undermine legitimate claims of racism by creating a theoretically reasonable doubt as to whether or not racism is present. I don't believe I've ever heard of a single instance where someone accused another of "playing the race card," when the person using that frame wasn't defending someone who had made a racist statement or taken a racist action. We have to banish the use of this phrase and call the media on framing an issue in this conservative Republican way.
