Rants -- June 1, 2008

Welcome to the June 1, 2008 edition of Rants.

Doug Ragan presents My Presidential Campaign ? Oil and the Environment posted at I'm A Pundit Too, saying, "I am putting together a series of posts regarding my Presidential Campaign Platform. I am not actually running for President of the US for a few reasons. One reason is that I am 33. Another reason is that I have no political experience. And lastly, I am a very reasonable person who does not enjoy lying, therefore no one would ever vote for me. The first part of this series will be the issue of oil and the environment."

I look forward to this series. I've been a reader of Doug's for some time now and I thoroughly enjoy his writing. This is sure to be a great series of posts. Too bad he's not qualified :)

adso.of.melk1@gmail.com presents VERY Bad Socialization posted at Lorem Ipsum, saying, "Adso rants about the horrible treatment given a five-year-old whose kindergarten teacher had the kids vote him out of the class."

Wow. Harsh. And deserving of a firing, at the very least.

Nick Pardini presents Rational Rants with Nick Pardini posted at Common Sense Magazine, saying, "Do you want to listen to thoughtful political opinion beyond the mainstream media? Are you tired of hearing the same statist rhetoric and political correctness that are prevalant? Then I think you like to listen for some more rational rant.

Sounds very appealing.

Lisa Spinelli presents ExxonMobil: a $123 Billion Dollar Embarassment | Greener Pastures: Personal Finance posted at Greener Pastures: Personal Finance.

Oil companies' profits have been at record levels for quite some time; each quarter seems to bring a new record. Oil prices, and hence gasoline prices, have risen very rapidly. The White House is occupied by an oil man and the automaton running the country is an oil man.

Coincidence? I think not.
