  How's the weather?

  According to the information the Energy Information Agency put out on this earlier in the year, favorable weather in 2006 - a warm winter and a cooler summer than 2005 - and fuel switching to natural gas and renewables explains the decline.

  be gentle

  on us progressive texan women (and men). To have lost Ann Richards, Molly Ivins and Lady Bird Johnson within less than a year is almost too much to bear. None of them would want us to wallow though. So stop and smell a (yellow) rose and/or raise some hell in their honor.

  Part one in a series?

  I'm looking forward to the next article in the series about how oil imports are on the rise because of men compensating for their inadequacies by buying big trucks for their commutes to their cubicles.

  Seriously people are you not all outraged that the author lays the blame on the US's dismal cfl adoption rates squarely, and soley, on women's vanity? He makes no mention of the higher electricity prices in Japan, Germany and the UK which surely have some influence on the use of cfls there and deserve some mention in this story.

  I'm sure the enlightened prius-driving, bike-riding, public-transport-taking, walk-to-work men on gristmill would be upset with my suggested next story on oil. Just like the cfl vanity story, there is some truth to it, but it isn't nearly the whole story and comes nowhere close to being news, especially not front page news.
