Putin is Losing Eastern European Energy Gamble

Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said the economic situation in the country in part depends on how the Ukrainian crisis plays out.

(LONDON OilPrices.com) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said he doesn't think the European community can do without the natural gas it gets from energy monopoly Gazprom.

Do You Really Want to Go to War With Russia? The Crazies Do!

Why do we support protests in one place and use brutal force in our own country to end protests??

(JAMESTOWN, RI) - At times like this it appears we have crazy people making life and death decisions for the good citizens of the US. It is disconcerting to say the least to come to grips with the reality that there are many in this government who are war mongers and who appear to be provoking Russia.

This is suicidal. This is not Libya, or Afghanistan, or Iraq, or Syria, or Grenada, or any of the smaller powers we have chosen to make war on.

Bands like Pink Floyd and America challenge me to make the best music possible, where sound creates colors and evokes emotional experience. Lyrically, I try to glean from a wide variety of sources: novels, poems, songs of intellectual artists such as Bob Dylan and Steely Dan, in order to capture a feeling in the most concise way possible. Maine is a beautiful state, it is not surprising that it has its share of talented musical artists.
