Thank You, Austin American Statesman and Austin Central Appraisal District for bringing the top water offenders to our attention.  To be

fair, there are other factors worth considering about this chart. Why didn’t the Statesman show a 3-4 months usage average, instead of one month?  Why didn’t Statesman address the broken pipe trend? How hard [...]

This image speaks more to the insanity of building a fence along the Texas border with Mexico.
This wall project has more “un-intended” consequences than have been seriously studied.
If you consider the human factor in this region, the resources for assistance is uneven. The further north this damage goes, the further away from resources. The coast [...]

Eight years of distortion and extortion have changed the world. The lessons have been tragic and harsh. The final acts of President Bush will determine how hard it will be for the world to recover from all the bad parts of this fairy tale.

Americans have become soft and impractical. Americans are consumer robots that are mesmerized by ‘image over substance’. That is exactly where America’s marketing geniuses have brought us. Some Americans are waking up to a world known by their grand parents and great grand parents. Frugal is no longer a ‘quaint concept’. Gas prices and their effect on food and necessities is the slap in the face we need to come out of the hypnosis we have been enjoying.

Iran moving into the big league
Kaveh L Afrasiabi
Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad’s three-nation tour of Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India and the welter of agreements and understandings reached between Tehran and these governments serve notice beyond the mere issue of energy security and Iran’s expanding role in the sub-continent’s energy market; rather, these [...]

After watching the PBS/National Geographic Documentary: Strange Days on Planet Earth

I tried to remember what kind of educational preparation I received ages ago. I was taught to memorize boring charts about how US Government was arranged. Whitewashed snippets about American History and how wonderful we were, how awful the American Indians were and how brave [...]

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The winners of Pakistan’s parliamentary elections said Tuesday that they would take a new approach to fighting Islamic militants by pursuing more dialogue than military confrontation, and that they would undo the crackdown on the media and restore independence to the judiciary.
With nearly complete returns from Monday’s vote giving it the most seats, [...]
