Lynne Kiesling We rediscovered Bonny Doon this September, when we had a long weekend in the area. They are refreshing for lots of reasons: they don’t take themselves too seriously, they make good wine that is good value for money, and they are embracing the screw top. Three for three! The subtitle name of this …

Lynne Kiesling Today President Bush has nominated Samuel Bodman for Energy Secretary. Mr. Bodman has background in the financial industry (at Fidelity), in the chemical industry, and in academia as a professor of chemical engineering at Cornell.

I’m thrilled, in part because the conference looks exciting and in part because I’m from Pittsburgh, and I love goin’ home.

However, I must pick one nit that always grates on me when I see …
Lynne Kiesling Well, I must have crossed to the dark side too, because I would have like to attended the FERC technical conference today that Mike mentioned in his post below. However, since I couldn’t do so, as a substitute I offer this Reason Public Policy Institute study that Adrian Moore and I wrote on …
