Legacy Journal: The Russian Bear Facts, Competing California Style, and Romney Substance.

Section:
News: International

Summary:
“Beware of the Russian Bear! “—Winston Churchill.

Question: ? What country led the world in petroleum product exports before the beginning of the 20th century? Who was Karl Popper?

* Time Magazine has name Russian turnaround artist, Vladamir Putin, as its Man of the Year. It is widely assumed that he was the compromise choice. Al Gore was a runner-up. General Petrais, the architect of successful miliary the Surge Strategy in Iraq was an also ran. Putin is portrayed as news worthy, smart in his marathon interviews, fearless, feisty, a pragmatic and proud nationalist, and combative at the age of 56. Gore come across as --- well more concerned about a global human population that quadrupled in the past 100 years and is now collectively overheating the planet. Meanwhile, Putin is putting cash in the cribs of new Russian citizens, building a fleet to ply ice free summer sea lanes in the Arctic Ocean, negociating gas pipe lines out of largely Muslim states of the former USSR, signing uranium deals with Australia, visiting Indonesia, working with neighboring Iran, working strategically for access pipeline and shipping access to warm water ports across a dozen time zones. Worry about AGW? Bring it on. Alcohol as a Fuel? Foolish. Putin is blunt, quick, and on his game—winning were and when it matter for Russians.

Barbara Boxer (D) Senator CA,, Chairperson, Committee on the Environment and Public Works responded angrily on the PBS News Hour to the EPA’s refusal to grant its 51st exemption request and waive federal law and allow California to continue authoring its own standards for tailpipe exhaust pollution.

* The Charlie Gibson ABC Evening News interview with candidate Mitt Romney was generally well received. With Tancreto of Colorado dropping out of the race, Romney has now begun the first in what may be a slow and long series of former candidate endorsements. The last man standing at the time of the Republican National Convention will be progressing in the national polls and in the song book of the media chorus. Will that be the case when the last woman standing is crowned with a Stetson at the Democratic National Convention in Denver?

Main:
: Putin is diminutive, a fitness buf, and a Judo expert.

:: Senator Boxer is diminutive, aggressive, and supported by the nytimes Opinion Page Editorial writers. Arrogance and Warming is today, characterization of the issue. Who has this one right. Gore? Boxer? the nytimes? Putin? It depends on your point of view. If you are Russian, you have already place your short term bet, your future security, and your place in history on realpolitic men like Putin.

::: Meanwhile, Mitt Romney is in a classic turnaround position. Time, momentum, vigor, experience and teamwork are on his side. Witness the Jon Huntsman
Holiday giving factor. Once again, insular, arrogance and myopic views of the world is not limited to one individual, one group or one institution. The evidence: an ad hominem, anti-endorsement attack on candidate Romney in the Editorial Pages of a Concord, NH paper.

Answer: Russia. No, we are not smarter than a 5th grader, but Popper was wise in the ways of Science.
