Important Information about the Energy Saving Light Bulbs
MG, you made his point for him in far better, and far shorter way.
The representative from Texas just sounds like a luddite grandstanding, or a shill for energy companies, trying to make it sound like making an effort to conserve energy is downright dangerous.
Had he been less of a demagogue, he might get people to agree with him on the merit of his argument (which ultimately is a good one), without trying to use *fear.

Obama Sells Out Wall of Separation to Theocratic Voters
I think he's wrong about the political advantage, and the topic. I'm with MrConrads, separation of church and state is pretty black and white. Giving religious organizations state funding is pretty much against that.
I like suggestion from Olbermann's guest about the separate non-profit.

3 Ways to Lower Gas Prices
Too bad the slogan is "drill here, drill now", kinda gives me the impression he's just interested in the Outer Coastal Shelf (OCS) and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
The shale oil thing is still a non-starter. It's not been economically viable to extract, provides a low EROI (Energy Return-On-Investment), and the process is very detrimental to the environment. It might now be profitable for companies to exploit it, but as a method of reducing price, it's fundamentally flawed, because it's so expensive to extract.
Why not make it "Invest now for the future", and make the development of alternatives the primary thrust? Even if we start tomorrow, OCS oil wells would take 7-10 years to come online, and the amount gained would be trivial.
The only true path to energy independence is with alternatives, focusing primarily on oil supply just kicks the can down the road.
If we nationalized the oil reserves, and then sought reserves that could meet our demand, the strategy would make sense. Something tells me that's not what Newt's suggesting. Without doing that, we'd have to increase global supply to exceed global demand for the foreseeable future, and we just don't have that kind of supply within our borders, period.
