Thereu have been a lot of good articles in the news recently and we at The Bocker feel the need to get those articles out there for public consumption.  We comb the newspapers so you don’t have to.

More analysis on the Clinton Gas-Tax Proposal courtesy of The Washington Post.  To me this is another reason not to vote Hillary for President.  This is the kind of poorly thought out, short-sighted plan that she rolls out time and time again.

Apparently my last two cities of residence are the two sootiest in the country.  Los Angeles is still tops in overall air pollution though.  California is the worst state.  For all the progressive environmental laws in California, you’d think they’d be able to get a handle on their air pollution problem.

This articledisplays the hypocritical actions of Congress.  They want to tell everyone else to lower their carbon footprint and become more green and yet they continue to drive their huge SUVs and luxury sedans because they “project an image of success”.  Personally I’m all for tougher greenhouse emissions laws and cleaner cars but it would be nice if lawmakers set an example instead of half-heartedly passing laws.   The LA Times had a nice article on this topic today as well.  My favorite quote that means nothing, “It’s not a Cadillac. It’s not a Lincoln. It’s a Ford,” the Republican congressman (Rep. Elton Gallegly) said with exasperation.”  The worst part of this is that the taxpayers pay for their exorbitant gas bills.

How do you stop a problem like this?

And finally, port workers on the West Coast walked out today suspending work for the day shift.  The reason for the strike? Anti-war protests.  It’s interesting to see such a large group speak out like this, even though it most likely won’t get news coverage and will be ignored in a few days.  Or until the next Reverend Wright “scandal” emerges.
