Our strict diet of chemicals (6/30/08, page C1)

Steve Butler, CCTimes (opinion)
Steve, like most liberals, goes on an attack against the use of chemicals in the growing of our food. On the surface this sounds like a reasonable argument.  (We’re ignoing his implication that the USA should have a fat police. Typical liberal. Knows what’s best for all us.)
But what happens if we [...]

Countrywide helped VIPs secure good rates on loans (6/29/08, page A23)

Tammerlin Drummond, CCTimes (opinion)
Credit where credit is due: The usually reliable liberal Tammerlin acknowledges Democrats taking advantage of their position of power to obtain discount home loans. No excuses, not blaming Republicans, she just lays it out. Good job representing the interests of the American public.

Will North Pole break the ice this summer? (6/28/08, page A13)

Seth Borenstein, AP
The obsession with global warming at the Contra Costa Times is out of control. This is the second story on this “prediction,” which makes it a non-news story in the “news” paper.
Some scientists looking to grab more taxpayer dollars to pay for their “research” come up with something that “has” to be be [...]

Proposed state cuts spell dire forecast (6/27/08, Front Page)

Matthias Gafni, CCTimes
Typical young journalist. Goes on about how taxpayer funded services to the public are going to be cut and all the poor people who will suffer unless taxpayers take a pay cut by paying higher taxes.
Matthias completely misses the reason for the funding cuts and who exactly should be the ones suffering: State legislators [...]

Moammar Gadhafi, dictator, Libya
Daniel Ortega, communist president, Nicaragua

Pelosi and team ranked lowest! (6/26/08, not in CCTimes)

A new Gallup poll shows Congress (lead by Nancy Pelosi) have now become the lowest rated institute in America. Great job Nancy! Way to ignore the survey CCTimes!
PS: Note how President Bush has double the favorables Congress does. Yet CCTimes continues to ignore Congress’ ineptness.

Gas prices may facilitate change (6/22/08, page C1)

Tappan Munroe, CCTimes (opinion)
There are two local columnists for the CCTimes business section, and unfortunately, both of them spout the same old tired liberal lines when it comes to the environment. Mr. Munroe (and most Democrats) proposes we lower our standard of living in order to avoid drilling for oil.  But guess what? We can drill our [...]
