There is probably no better way to start your NYT Sunday (and no better way to gird your loins against reading Ross Douthat later) than checking out the big piece on how North Carolina Republicans are eating themselves alive as moderately awful candidates battle severely awful candidates in the Republican primary for Senate so that one of them can fling themselves messily against incumbent Democrat Kay Hagan.
For the more visual thinkers among you, here is where the US energy comes from (import vs export and what type of fuel) and which sectors it goes to. The EIA, part of DOE, compiles a shitload of helpful data on their website. <a href="http:\/\/www.eia.gov\/totalenergy\/data\/annual\/pdf\/sec1_3.pdf" target="_blank">2011</a>. Yay, tax dollars at work.
The US &quot;budget&quot; is 97 Quads, so the values in the arrow are roughly equal to percentage as well.
<i> Because such an oil shock, though disruptive in the short run, could have the same long-term impact as the 1973 Arab oil embargo &mdash; only more so. That 1973 embargo led to the first auto mileage standards in America and propelled the solar, wind and energy efficiency industries. </i>
Fossil fuels make up about 80% of the total US energy budget, vs about 55% for the EU. The EU gets about 29% of its budget from hydro, PVs and wind, plus 14% from nuclear (I&#039;m looking at you, France.). <i>Who</i> needs the hard lessons in energy independence, Tommie Boy?
Oh, yeah, the Danes get about 20% of their energy from the wind. Douche.
Be careful what you wish for. That car might be driving to the House and the Senate. My, won&#039;t things be fun when they finally have wherewithal to start impeachment proceedings.
Of course the worst candidate in NC is the one Randy Pol backs. He&#039;s just found a kindred spirit, that&#039;s all. The problem, as I see it, is that there is a 50-50 chance that the voters in NC don&#039;t recognize a clown car when they see one.
Force Hanley and Olympia Drexel should be grateful. According to Forbes Magazine, all children of the rich are named Capitalist Tool.
Francium, I&#039;m not sure this thread is entirely stable.
I&#039;m betting on the crashing down thing...but then, I&#039;m pessimistic like that.
&quot;Energy budget&quot; == sources and consumption of energy.
Sadly, they will probably keep the House, because of the very successful gerrymandering in many states.
No, Tom, it makes you A Idiot.

All right. Who wants to hold Stephen&#039;s Peabody?
I think we really need to hear what Todd Kincannon thinks about the three-corner race; he seems like the most expert voice in the region.
I guess Senator Paul is the tyranny-free choice...

They shoot horses, don&#039;t they?
And what about columnists?
