Automakers show hybrid vehicles to Sierra Club Conventioneers test gas-electrics September 10, 2005 BY TERENCE CHEA ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO -- Three major automakers unveiled their latest hybrid cars and technology at an environmental conference Friday, promoting their most fuel-efficient vehicles as gasoline prices soar in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Ford Motor Co., Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. brought their hybrid vehicles, which run on a combination of gasoline and electricity, to the first national convention of the Sierra Club, the country's largest environmental organization. Environmentalists have criticized the auto industry for failing to produce more fuel-efficient...

Rage Against the Machine Appeared on the Tech Central Station website at www.techcentralstation.com Author(s): Kenneth Green, Director, Risk and Environment Studies, The Fraser Institute Email: keng@fraserinstitute.ca Release Date : February 18, 2003 The war on SUV owners has reached a fever pitch of late, with ad campaigns, columnists, and star-studded advertorials raging against the machines. Now, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and far be it from me to presume that celebrities are too empty-headed to actually understand complicated environmental issues like global warming. Let’s assume that actresses like Barbra Streisand, and columnists like Arianna Huffington have studied the theory...

She walked right by me. I ran to borrow a camera. From across the street, I caught Arianna Huffington in the Chevy Suburban that brought her to and from the airport. She was keynote speaker last Sunday at the Sierra Club Summit at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. It's a dark photo, but there is no doubt that it is her. It has been admitted by the editor of the Huffington Post. Arianna, of course, blames the Sierra Club for providing this ride for her. Gee, Arianna, if you were upset, you didn't have to get in the vehicle....

<p>FReepers, sometimes the other side just makes it so easy for us. My original report regarding the Sierra Club Summit is linked above.</p> <p>After giving a stirring speech on saving the planet, Arianna Huffington walked right past me outside. A friend was able to take this photo of her Chevrolet Suburban waiting for her across the street. She parked across the street rather than being dropped off next to the hyrbrid vehicles that were showcased in front of the Sierra Club Summit. She didn't dare get dropped off in front of her environmentalist pals at the Moscone Center building where she was speaking.</p>

Arianna Huffington: London: Bush’s “Flypaper Theory” is Blown to Pieces Arianna HuffingtonFri Jul 8, 1:30 AM ET Well, there goes that theory... Odds are we probably won’t be hearing for a while the Bush mantra that the reason we're fighting them over in Iraq is so we don't have to fight them here at home. For the last few months, this ludicrous shibboleth has been the president’s go-to line -- his latest rationale for slogging on in Iraq. Here he was on July 4th: "We're taking the fight to the terrorists abroad so we do not have to face them...

The Huffington Post, an Internet blog that debuted May 9 after a campaign that would have delighted P.T. Barnum, makes me nostalgic for the good old days of journalism. It isn't that its founder, Arianna Huffington (who named it for herself in true Hollywood "enough about me, not what do YOU think about me" fashion) doesn't have every right to join the increasingly clogged blog superhighway. Rather, this blog has an agenda and speaks mostly to people who already believe what most of its writers say. In The Huffington Post, the musical genius Quincy Jones explains that Michael Jackson's problem...

The Huffer Post is the answer to The Huffington Post. Keep an eye on it to keep all the libs in check.

Twelve days before the election, James Carville stood in a Beverly Hills living room surrounded by two generations of Hollywood stars. After being introduced by Sen. John Kerry’s daughter, Alexandra, he told the room — confidently, almost cockily — that the election was in the bag. ... As Tom Vallely, the Vietnam War veteran whom Kerry tapped to lead the response to the Swift boat attacks, told me: “I kept telling Shrum that before you walk through the economy door, you’re going to have to walk through the terrorism/Iraq door. But, unfortunately, the Clinton team, though technically skillful, could not...

Arianna Huffington, Joe Trippi Challenge Kerry to ``Go Big''; Petition Ignites the Internet LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2004--An impassioned appeal was made today to Senator John Kerry by author and political activist Arianna Huffington and veteran Democratic campaign strategist Joe Trippi. They are asking him to "Go Big, Ask More!" a rallying cry that asks Kerry to become the strong, dynamic, inspirational leader Americans are longing for. In an effort to transcend the, now typical, voter's dilemma of choosing between the "lesser of two evils," the duo has launched an online petition drive calling on Sen. Kerry to offer a...

<p>LOS ANGELES ? Arianna Huffington announced Tuesday night that she was ending her independent candidacy in California's recall race to help Democrats stop Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger from becoming governor.</p> <p>Arianna Huffington says dropping out was her best hope of stopping candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger.</p>

Long-shot independent candidate Arianna Huffington dropped her bid for governor of California on Tuesday, saying she would campaign against the recall of Gov. Gray Davis and the "clear and present danger" of electing front-runner Arnold Schwarzenegger. Huffington, a conservative-turned-liberal gadfly whose campaign had failed to gain much traction against Schwarzenegger or Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, told CNN talk-show host Larry King during an interview that she would not yet endorse a candidate in the Oct. 7 vote.
