A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Chevy Volt: An electric lemon
I knew it was priced more than the Nissan Leaf. I knew it was late to market. I knew it was a bit dowdy. What I didn't know, until now (gee, GM, hide this under a bushel basket), is that the miniature gas engine that recharges the battery needs premium fuel. Throw in the fact that the Volt's lease terms compare quite unfavorably to the Leaf, and, you've got problems galore, GM.
