On Bush's "Clean Energy" Comments in his State of the Union Speech:
Nearly any policy Bush puts forward benefits his mega-wealthy cronies and contributors first, and the rest of us not at all. If you don't believe it, you only need to look a little more closely. Bush's "clean energy" programs will be virtually unregulated, allowing "clean energy" to be produced in the cheapest, dirtiest ways possible, like burning huge amounts of coal without scrubbers as a means to produce "clean" hydrogen as fuel, or burying nuclear waste by a convenient earthquake fault at Yucca Mountain. And since when has nuclear energy been clean? Follow the money.
On the Danish cartoon, depicting the Islam's prophet Muhammad as a suicide bomber:
The newspaper may have been insensitive in publishing this cartoon. However, I don't think religions can or should enforce all of their proscriptions on everybody else. It's fine to be offended and say so. But let's not divide the world further with large scale, political repercussions. The good name of a prophet as great as Muhammad will survive the insult, which I think was really directed at those who misuse that name, and God will sort out the sinners in the long run.
