they and several other corporations have caused in the Gulf of Mexico before the government siezes the property and assets of these corporations to begin a Manhatten Project style process calling on the best minds available to get this job done and done right. Then, after the damage has been undone, our government could then sell us the gas they now own for 10 cents a gallon.
After nearly a decade of having my senses pummeled by the ludicrous and inane blitz of neo-con right wing ideology, spin, lies, tortured logic, sophistry, and other mind numbing rhetoric that flows constantly from the lips of the likes of their paid gasbags it's no wonder that people have a hard time getting worked up over another of what seems like just another outrage to be forced on a probably far too compliant citizenry. The US Supreme court has just sold the United States to the highest bidder and nobody seems to be doing jack shit about it. Maybe it's just outrage overload and maybe that's what they are counting on, but I can't see any fucking good at all coming from this ill thought decision. I can't see into the future but from where I'm sitting it doesn't bode well for those of us that can't buy the White House.
will become moot because it doesn't do what it was designed to do. However no one really comes out ahead. No one benefits and no one is hurt by it. It's a meaningless effort now.
is stick her head out the door and she can tell you unequivocally that it is cold out and if there was global warming it would be warm. See, you betcha' and it ain't very warm so all that book learnin' that Mr. Gore did doesn't add up to a hill of wolf pelts. So how much clearer does it have to be for all the elitist, left leaning, intellectuals before they see that Sarah (I'm the rogueiest rogue there is) Palin has Mr. Gore pegged and that she herself is the expert? Sheesh!
is being pumped out of US territory at present? Also, how many oil fields on US territory are sitting idle and are not being actively pumped? How many of these fields are privately owned and how many are on US owned land? Because if the answer is anything other than none, how about just getting busy with those first.
Some in January, some in February and now again in March. There has to be an investigation into what actually happened on those dates and who if anyone put the perpetrators up to it. I do not want to see anything swept under the rug before all the facts are known (if they even can be, knowing *'s justice dept) and I take no delight in one or the other's campaign being connected even remotely or tangentially, as the whole affair has a distinct rovian smell about it. We do not know if the first two instances are connected to the later one and if there have been any instances of any of the former candidates who's passport data may have been breached as well. I do not know about everyone else's balloons but mine still has a full charge of pissed off.
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
that our supposed president has to arm twist our Senators, and those same Senators to capitulate to said arm twisting to allow him to re-write the laws on torture, to allow the use of torture, to define torture itself, to retroactively legalize torture, to decide who needs to be tortured, for how long and in what manner, that this debate even took place in The United States of America, is something I don't think I will ever be able to reconcile. This throwback to another, much darker era in human history must not be allowed to become the law of this land. If you don't know in your heart what human dignity is, if you need it explained to you, then you are lost. You are no longer a human being.
No more fascist leaning legislation for this tin pot little pissant dick tater. If anyone can't plainly see he's reaching for unitary powers A.K.A. "dictatorship" then I must ask what color is the sky in your world. No more. Period. This shithead should be on his frigging knees begging the country's forgiveness for embroiling the USA in an unwinnable situation in Iraq and our pariah status with the rest of the world. Fuck him already.
The photo is of the band I play in. We're a 60's & 70's Rock and Blues Jam band. You can hear a couple of tune I uploaded to Artist Launch website by searching for "Reloaded". I am the bass player. The pic is from a video we took of our last gig at Del Sangro's Restaurant and Lounge in Brook Park. http://www.artistlaunch.com/
