Remember Chimpy's energy plan for the country to run its Chevy Yukons on crop?
WSJ -- The price for corn -- the nation's No. 1 crop and one of the most ubiquitous ingredients in the American food supply -- has jumped nearly 55% since mid-September, when U.S. corn farmers began harvesting their third-biggest crop ever. Grain prices usually slump to their lowest levels of the year during the harvest season. Yet the price of corn in recent weeks has shot through the rarely breached $3-a-bushel mark and appears headed higher.
"The consequences of ethanol are the biggest thing going on in agriculture today," says Keith Collins, chief economist of the U.S. Agriculture Department. "We are talking about a higher new benchmark for corn."

Ethanol from corn requires nitrogen (read: hydrocarbon based) fertilizers to grow the corn and process the ehtanol. I'm not at all sure this is thermodynamically sensible; i.e. does it cost more fossil fuel to create ethanol that it is worth?
Knowing Bush was pushing it, I'd guess the answer is yes.

Pictures in today's New York Times graphically illustrate another reason for rising U.S. casualties in Iraq -- the increasing sophistication of Iraqi snipers. Just one more thing making Iraq a hell on earth for the brave men and women we send there -- for nothing. Except to be targets. This is happening while they people who sent them there are prattling on about completing the mission and slamming Democrats for wanting to cut and run. But they've forgotten what the mission is, if they ever knew, or are keeping it a secret. That’s what the election is all about -- holding this corrupt and mindless government accountable. In just three days we can begin.
I just heard on NPR that many Iraqis are having their name, address, and phone # tattooed on their bodies so they can be identified if they are killed.

3 stages in the collapse of Rick Santorum:
10/24/06, fear:
Sen. Rick Santorum said last night that if he loses his re-election bid, it could set the stage for terrorism to become more of a threat than the Nazis ever were.
10/30, delusion:
Rick Santorum accused state Treasurer Bob Casey of "aiding and abetting terrorism and genocide," saying yesterday that state pension funds are invested with companies linked to terrorist-sponsoring states.
surrender,11/03:
In a remarkable new ad aimed at making him look less partisan, the endangered Pennsylvania senator touts his work with Clinton on censoring video games. "To get things done, you've got to work together," Santorum says..."I'm even working with Hillary Clinton to limit inappropriate materials in children's video games."
I still have trouble from time to time remembering that it isn't actually Tim Russert.
It must be the gigantic heads.
I thought you had a birthday party today?
I do. But I can't go because I have too much work to do before Monday, which of course explains why I'm wasting time here. But I'm taking the kid, a friend of hers, and mom out to the girl's fave restaurant next week and giving her her prezzie then. She was excited to hear that after maybe 30 femtoseconds of disappointment.
I'll still buy you drinks in a coupla weeks. I have plane tix and everything--coming up from VA where I'll be teaching for the Patent Office.

Here's what I said about Hilary in response to that comment, below:
and while I'm not a Hillary fan anyway I did find her response kind of not helpful
That's being charitable.
I think she may, however, be politically quick enough on the uptake that almost anything looks like political advantage to her. She sees an advantage for her '08 run, she takes it. And that's what she's doing.
Either that, or she really has turned into a Repug. Can't figure that out. Sorry - I want to like her.

Yet another song that is on my iPod...
Ethanol from corn requires nitrogen (read: hydrocarbon based) fertilizers to grow the corn and process the ehtanol. I'm not at all sure this is thermodynamically sensible; i.e. does it cost more fossil fuel to create ethanol that it is worth?
Knowing Bush was pushing it, I'd guess the answer is yes.
Dr. Pedant
I suspect that the answer is dependent on the assumptions used. Much of the biomass, leaves and cobs, is left in the field. That is why something like switchgrass might be a better alternative because with switchgrass all the above ground biomass could be used. That of course assumes that you have a process that can convert the switchgrass to ethanol.
Via CNN:
Power shift or not, Senate less likely to back war
WASHINGTON (AP) -- No matter which party wins control, the new Senate is likely to be less supportive of President Bush on Iraq than the present one, and remain relatively conservative on economic and social issues.
In battleground races, Democrats are sounding a lot like traditional Republicans, emphasizing family values, budget restraint and foreign policy. Some Republicans are sounding more like Democrats as they play down their past support for the Iraq war and distance themselves from an unpopular president.
It's made for some unusual midterm political dynamics.
No shit.

Thirdly, you can imagine a world in which these extremists and radicals got control of energy resources.

Indeed, and all that nitrogen ends up in the rivers, lakes, wetlands, and offshore, which means more dead zones and harmful algal blooms.

Meth's wearing off. Better score some more crank.
does it cost more fossil fuel to create ethanol that it is worth?
No. Corn ethanol is cost-effective, and it's renewable, and it's domestically produced. It's not theoretically as good as ethanol derived from cellulose (e.g., from myscanthus or switchgrass) but the technology isn't quite there yet to be able to do that cost effectively.

[from below]
As far as the personal hygiene issue goes, I've found that there's a Rule of Three that for whatever reason, Amerika has reduced to a Rule of Two.
My hypothesis is that there is Level One personal cleanliness, which entails being freshly bathed/showered, deodorized, gargled, toothbrushed, clean-clothes, pleasantly-scented or unscented.
Level Three is unwashed and unkempt to a point which manifests rancid body odors, including breath, indicative of neglected hygiene and/or ill-health or other personal impairments.
Level Two is in the murky middle: not-so-recently bathed, deodorant extinct or omitted, unwashed or unperfumed hair.
I think that the rest of the world, except perhaps for Northern Europe, thinks of L2 as the norm, with L1 for special occasions or as necessary to avoid slipping into L3. So there's more tolerance for ordinary body smells, e.g. sweat, hair.
Here, L1 is the norm, and L2 is treated more like L3. As usual, I have mixed feelings about the issue; during a career servicing the low end of the labor market, I've smiled in the lethal flux of various hygenic lapses. But I'd love everyone to be L1s, and since I have the resources to achieve this high-maintenance level, I try to be an L1, too.
But I also realize that it's OK if humans smell like natural humans a little bit, and despise the billion-dollar cosmetics-hygiene cartel and its insidious hype encouraging pampered narcissism and declaring death to natural body smells. I sneer at them in superior scorn-- all the way to drugstore.com.

Dr. Wu
Until now, ethanol from corn has enjoyed a 50 cent/gallon subsidy. It is now probably profitable without the subsidy because of the high oil prices and because it is used to replace MBTE in gasoline. Also, the per acre yield of ethanol is so low that there is not enough land available to replace all the oil we use.
We do need to drastically reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and ethanol will probably be part of that. However, I predict that 20 or 30 years from now there will be very little ethanol produced from corn.
Wind, solar and nuclear are also going to be necessary. Perhaps also coal with sequestration of the CO2.
The fireworks started around dusk and haven't really let up since. Mrs. W and I climbed up to Parliament Hill to watch the legally sanctioned displays from the Ally Pally and from Battersea Park, but of course we could see about a dozen homegrown fireworks displays from there too.
