Green, Republican, & Democratic views of Offshore Drilling

Posted on October 2, 2008 by iwilder

3/30/10 IW: The post below was from 2008.  It was pretty prescient. With Obama opening up the Atlantic to drilling, it has become even more useless to try to differentiate the Republican and Democratic positions.  Its either the corporate parties or the Green Party.  Your choice. Were you sickened as we were by the chants […]

Chicago 1968-2008: Presidential Convention T-shirts

Posted on June 7, 2008 by iwilder
