You really have to wonder about their sanity when you read liberal press and hear liberal pundits and more pundits reporters when they talk about how dead the Republicans and conservatism is and then actually look at polls.

Obey-Won's approval rating? Toilet:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President.

Solar thermal projects are sprouting in the Southwest like desert flowers after a rain, spurred by the Obama administration's energy agenda and state renewable mandates. But a showdown over their water needs could now preclude the cheapest technologies.

Yesterday, after months of pressure from environmental groups and some concerned residents, one solar project developer backed out of controversial plans to buy rights to a billion gallons a year of local farmers' water.
