The Perils of Petrocracy. Something good from the Sunday NYT. It begins:
Who holds the world’s oil? You might assume it’s in the hands of big private oil companies like ExxonMobil. But in fact, 77 percent of the world’s oil reserves are held by national oil companies with no private equity, and there are 13 state-owned oil companies with more reserves than Exxon-Mobil.

Tony afflicts the comfortable and comforts the afflicted - like us. More on Tony Snow's speech, at SDA. Another quote from Tony:
Political rhetoric has turned nasty, childish, and very personal, especially on Capitol Hill, and Americans are sick of it. Hotheads seem to be enjoying a false spring of fame. And members of the mainstream press are scratching their heads and asking, “What's going on here? Why are the nation´s newspapers hemorrhaging readers? Why are the television networks losing viewers? Why has cable news suddenly hit still water? What is going on? Don't Americans care about the news?"
Well, of course they do: The problem is, they don't think they´re getting news — and they´re right.
Adding to blogroll: Official News Agency - good humor. Also, MouseNAround, which is miscellaneous like us but mainly a Christian-oriented site. Also, An Englishman's Castle.
