A simple search on Google for the term “sustainable development” with the “images” tab selected yields a veritable treasure trove of images, many of which are similar to the one above.  Of course the term “sustainable development” sounds so good – who doesn’t want development that is sustainable?

Why Did Attorney General Jon Bruning’s Office Give $50k To Cleaner Greener Lincoln?

In a very bizarre twist to end this week, I discovered that two seemingly unrelated areas of concern and interest have converged. Immediately following the election, there were two announcements regarding Nebraska’s Senate seat currently held by Ben Nelson, whose term expires in 2012. Governor Heineman announced that he will not be running for the […]

Time To Take the Bite Out of Beutler Before He Implements Cap & Trade in Lincoln

By Shelli Dawdy Just when I thought I could not possibly ever be surprised at what might come out of my television, I was reminded that my brain is simply not wired to conceive of the endless number of nonsensical ideas politicians will attempt to implement while we’re all looking the other way.
