The following are some of the recent news articles on Sunday 25 November and my observations on them.
A. Valuable Resource to BookmarkWith all the turbulence and turmoil in the setting of the schedule for the upcoming primary and caucus season, this link provides a clear and concise schedule to refer to. Its somewhat difficult to believe the first caucus in Iowa is but 39 days away and the first primary in Iowa is now just 44 days away. Recent polls show a close race in all four races being contested in these two states.

B. Absolutely, Ross Perot was Correct in His Forecast and BeliefsHindsight is always 20/20. The politicians in the early 90s made costly, horrible choices that have had grave consequences for most Americans except for those highly connected within Corporate America such as executive, boards, contractors, managers, and investors swollen with stock and ego.

C. Source for Plenty of Educational and Enlightening ReadingYou can spend quite a bit of time reading what is included on this website. I heartily agree with most of the observations and conclusions here.

D. CO2 Sequestration: Questions and Concerns RiseIt will be interesting to see if any research and testing in the next few years raises realistic doubt on process of Carbon Capture and Storage. I likely think if any concerns to the contrary are raised they will be covered up and squashed for years to come as the energy fuels industry has much to lose if they are exposed as frauds and doing nothing to stop climate change even more than they are now.

E. What an Utter Waste...The criminal behavior, irresponsibility, and malfeasance of President George Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney will haunt this nation's families and individuals deep into this century.

F. Mr Whipple Lives !Unfortunately, this is not funny.

G. The Kind of President All Americans Need So Desparately AgainWe have not had a man of such stature in so long leading our nation. Perhaps the last one was Kennedy; certainly it was Eisenhower, but even he was not as beloved, trusted, and believed in as our greatest President, Franklin Roosevelt, as Bill Moyers states so clearly. George W Bush is the anti-Roosevelt, the epitome of all that is wrong, incorrect, misguided, and evil.

H. This Is the Only Presidential Candidate That Will Recall the Wisdom, Vision, and Leadership America Had With Franklin RooseveltToday, I heartily and fully endorse Dennis Kucinich for the office of President of the United States for nomination and election in 2oo8. This article by the great writer Gore Vidal captures why this man is the one for this job and providing leadership to this nation at this critical juncture in its history.

I. The Corporate Pigs Wallow with the Globe's EvilThis story is not surprising as Saudi Arabia is a nation based on corruption and graft. Birds of a similar feather flock together and corporations across the globe are much the same way.

J. A Look into the FutureThis article is probably too optimistic concerning the future of American prosperity and influence.

K. Mortgage Foreclosure Crisis Continues to Grow2008 looks as if well over an additional 2.5 million homes will be foreclosed on causing huge ripples negatively in the economy across the nation. And increasingly this nation is looking at a similar repeat of what happened from 1925 to 1933 when housing values fell by 30 % across the nation. History is looking like it could repeat itself.

L. A Look into Gasoline Prices We Will All Be Paying At Least Next SummerFrightening, isn't it. Especially for those with no mass transit alternatives who are locked into the commuter culture.

M. Misguided Ballot Issue Faces Coloradoans in 2008This Proposed Constitutional Amendment in Colorado is a poorly conceived (no pun intended) legal attempt to control the majority by a vocal bullheaded iconoclastic minority and it is destined to go down to defeat, but the airwaves will be full of false messages by the future losing side trying to snow the voting citizenry in a huge waste of time and money that could have been spent on the poor, homeless, disadvantaged, sick, and elderly.

N. FYI: Map of Nuclear Power Plant LocationsJapan, Western Europe, and the Eastern US are the locations where most of these potentially deadly nuclear power plants are situated. Surprisingly, there are none in Australia.

O. The Story of Colorado's Fort LoganThis is a great historical summary on a significant place in this state's history by a noteworthy historian of great repute and humor.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders outlasted the Winnipeg Jets, 23-19, to win their third Grey Cup in franchise history and first since 1989. Major professional sports smallest market in North America is Regina, Saskatchewan, so this would be akin to Wyoming win the college football championship in the United States or the New Orleans Saints winning the Super Bowl.
