The easy solution is rarely the right one. Some people don’t like to admit they’re wrong.

Fracking, besides a misspelling of a curse word from Battlestar Galactica, is also being seen by some as a solution to both the world’s dwindling crude oil supply and America’s lust for oil. It will inevitably prove the creators of the Fallout video games are prophets.

That trend, as observed by the Associated Press, is that “Republican candidates are drifting rightward on a range of issues, even though more centrist stands might play well in the 2012 general election.

President Barrack Obama has begun his re-election campaign. An article from the Associated Press stated that “between now and the election, the incumbent Democrat will work to convince a fickle America that he has delivered change, made the right moves and earned the chance to continue the job.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is reversing a century of employment reform to reduce the state’s debt. As a result, Wisconsin has turned into a ‘Nam protest’. Actually bigger, according to crowd estimates mentioned in The Christian Science Monitor. New is news. Gov. Walker hasn’t hired Pinkerton goons to strong arm the unions yet, but probably just because he doesn’t want to escalate matters. For those not in the know, a Pinkerton is the protagonist of “Bioshock: Infinite.”

Snow. In the depths of a Michigan winter, the word has become a four-letter word reviled by many. A word that makes images of stuck cars, slipping feet and frostbite clearly form in the mind.
