Plutonium Page has posted to Daily Kos a diary which helps to expose some important background information about T. Boone Pickens and his "plan" that supposedly will liberate us from foreign oil.
Devilstower and I just went to a talk here at the DNC featuring T. Boone Pickens. Everyone was under the impression that the event would involve an actual discussion (as in, a Q & A session, like nearly all of the other Big Tent special topic sessions). We had a really energetic live blog thread going, where all of you were submitting questions.
Sorry, guys. Apparently, the whole thing was just a sales pitch. T. Boone hightailed it out of there before anyone could even raise their hand.
I'll post some excerpts below, but really, go to the original, where you can also read the comments, which are just as illuminating.
This is going to be a long weekend, and there are lots of great stories from around the blogosphere to keep you busy. In honor
of the Labor Day holiday, we will start off with some posts about workers. This week's roundup is brought to you by Mooncat of
Left in Alabama. If any blogs were accidentally left out, be assured that it's due to incompetence rather than malice.
