...more surprising alliance than Napolitano's mind-meld with businesspeople has developed between liberals, especially environmental activists, and the conservative hunting-and-fishing community--the "hook and bullet" crowd--over the exploitation of natural resources. "Not every place on God's green earth needs to be open to natural-gas exploration," says George Orbanek, the conservative publisher of Colorado's Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. "You don't need to put up natural-gas rigs in the Grand Junction watershed, for example. The problem is, we've gone from the extreme Democrat tree huggers in the 1990s to a hard-right...

The superstars alternate verses without regard for cohesion, both sticking to their trademark, market-tested styles. It all sounds mailed-in; their goal is to convey their political beliefs, and they don’t seem to care...
...McMansion design seems to me to have been originally conceived as an anesthetized imitation of the past, a sort of fairy-tale version of grandeur meant for mass consumption. As such, it is inevitably an artistic failure. The bizarre meld of faux-antique European design seems out of place 10 minutes away from Toledo (Ohio, that is, not Spain).
