Plumpy’nut Can Save the World One Child at a Time

We’ve all seen it. Some, up close and personal but most on the television in some documentary or on a nightly news show. I’m talking about the ravages of starvation. Starving babies clinging to their mothers or worse yet, abandoned to a single bedroll, left alone to suffer a fate that could be easily avoided for the price of a candy bar. If you haven’t heard about Plumpy’nut, it is a high protein and energy peanut-based paste in a foil wrapper. It tastes slightly sweeter than peanut butter. It is categorized by the WHO as a Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).

Secret Plan is a Bust Because Bush’s Team Can’t Get Along!

Late last year, top Bush administration officials decided to take a step they had long resisted. They drafted a secret plan to make it easer for the Pentagon’s Special Operations forces to launch missions into the snow-capped mountains of Pakistan to capture or kill top leaders of Al Qaeda. Let me see if I have this right: 1) There’s a war going on in Iraq, 2) The Taliban is running the show in Afghanistan, 3) Al Qaeda is enjoying an abundance of new recruits, 4) Osama bin Laden is more popular than ever and probably rarely looks over his shoulder. And the Bush Administration can’t or won’t do shit because the boys from competing fraternaties and their egos can’t or won’t get along! Is that about the size of it?

Why Can’t the U.S. Duplicate Brazil’s Success with Ethanol?

It is baffling to me that with all of the so-called and self-professed experts on using alternative fuels to solve the energy crisis, the subject of Brazil’s success is rarely discussed. Brazil’s ethanol program, which originated in the 1970s in response to the uncertainties of the oil market, has enjoyed intermittent success.

Bush’s Answer to Being Addicted to Oil? “Get More Addicted to Oil”…huh?

Two years ago, President Bush declared that America was “addicted to oil,” and, by gosh, he was going to do something about it. Well, now he has. Now we have the new Bush energy plan: “Get more addicted to oil.” Actually, it’s more sophisticated than that: Get Saudi Arabia, our chief oil pusher, to up our dosage for a little while and bring down the oil price just enough so the renewable energy alternatives can’t totally take off. Then try to strong arm Congress into lifting the ban on drilling offshore and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. So it is with the inner working of the warped mind of George Bush….READ ON

David Plouffe is Obama’s Campaign Manager and a Class Act

David Plouffe is no household name, which is fine with him. He is, in fact, Barack Obama’s campaign manager. You won’t see him on the news talk shows. He is, by his own design, a back-room manager. It is no secret that, to date, Obama campaign strategy and its execution has been near flawless. Most of the credit belongs to Barack himself and his choice of David Plouffe as campaign manager.
