Nelson: Ethanol empire responds 
Kevin Skunes of Arthur, N.D., chairman of the North Dakota Corn Utilization Council, reminds me in his latest defense of ethanol (Forum, Dec. 21): The maker of my 2012 snowblower (it’s true, I actually bought something new) explicitly warns against using any gasohol greater than E10.

Nelson: Ethanol? I’ll supply the shovels
It’s hard to say if ethanol’s backers deliberately or just incidentally misunderstand arguments about their fuel.

Nelson: Enough ethanol mythology
Russ Newman, vice president of Tharaldson Ethanol near Casselton, N.D., recently boomed ethanol again in The Forum’s pages.

Nelson: Big money drives UND logo affair
What a bizarre pass the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux nickname fight has come to: A wide majority of North Dakota’s Sioux want UND to keep their name while stuffed shirts across the state fight to drop it.

Nelson: Kowtowing to tyranny and liking it
I last wrote that the 9/11 attacks not only killed thousands of Americans and led to perhaps 70 times that many Iraqi deaths but also finished off the America we old-timers used to know.

Nelson: Sorrow over what we’ve lost
My wife woke me up a couple of hours early on Sept. 11, 2001.

Nelson: UND logo fight ends in disgrace
So the last hurrah has been heard for the University of North Dakota’s Sioux logo and nickname.

Nelson: Welcome to goo-goo America
You would be hard-pressed to find a more juvenile, uninformed attitude toward the recent debt ceiling brouhaha than what many Americans just expressed.

Nelson: UND can stand up, fight lies
When we examine the furor over University of North Dakota’s Fighting Sioux logo and nickname, we must start with and remember one thing: The NCAA’s stance against the emblems is palpably, tangibly, demonstrably wrong.

Nelson: They do it because they’re men
Ho hum. Another month, another male politician in trouble for infidelity and stupidity.

Nelson: Replace absurdity with fact on logo issue
Now that North Dakota’s chattering class and its allies are taking a breather from bashing supporters of the University of North Dakota’s Fighting Sioux symbols, maybe we can introduce some facts and logic.

Nelson: Did US take out right man?
The funny thing about the “USA! USA!” chant by celebrants at the White House fence after Osama bin Laden’s killing is that we don’t yet know if he was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Nelson: Spinning lies with nuances
Dr. Grael Gannon’s view essentially guts the Constitution as any kind of restraint upon the federal government.

Nelson: Barefaced lies tarnish shining city
President Barack Obama’s Monday speech on our war with Libya had all the expected Washington elements: barefaced lies, boilerplate, hypocrisy, self-congratulations and deception, and yet a sprig of comedy to lighten the mood.

Nelson: US leads another illicit war
‘The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
So spoke candidate Barack Obama. Candidates Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden said much the same thing. Of course, once in power, their oaths to uphold the Constitution were quickly flushed down the same toilets their copies of the Constitution were first washed down even before they went to war with Libya.
