Stradee,

I read about that in this afternoon's NYT update. Ugly, ugly collapse of morality and previous positions all around. Done without much, if any, advance notice.

Separate studies by the
House Committee on Natural Resources and the Wilderness Society, a
conservation group, show that roughly three-quarters of the 90
million-plus acres of federal land being leased by the oil companies
onshore and off are not being used to produce energy. That is 68
million acres altogether, among them potentially highly productive
leases in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.

Beth, wondering if the balloon people filed a flight plan.


Teeny, no - we are not better as a nation. Fact is, gwb sold us down the river for a few barrels of oil. Now that he's accomplished his goal - he intends destroying what remains of the ocean. sweeps

sue, the Hoyer/bush bill {H.R. 6304} rushed through the House as we speak, will be voted on by the Senate Tuesday.

What the bill does is give immunity to telecommunications corporations for spying on telephone and email conversations and allows the gov carte blanche to wipe its butt on the constitution {again} the Hoyer/Bush FISA deal clears corporations from prosecution, covers gwb's arse, and takes our civil rights to a nuther level, specifically, Americans will no longer have civil rights. H.R. 6304 calls for mass untargeted surveillance. So if some snotnosed young republican listening in on Americans conversations decides whoever may be or could be an enemy of the united states or gwb {in his case everyone} well, there goes the life of riley.

Senate Democrates had better stand together and defeat Hoyer/bush!

omg! how did i miss dan's posting!

Hope your day was terrific, Beth!

Nice to see you are reviewing stuff, Stradee.

How about the Bush's attempt to rob MORE of our Social Security money??

The Congress of the USA has to this date spent about ONE POINT THREE TRILLIAN DOLLARS OF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY ON PRIVATE PROJECTS.....

Yes, that is trillians of our tax dollars.

Check it out - our congressmen and women are robing us blind in our old age and then trying to pass laws to make us pay more for our retirement.

They are - after all - politicians...... All out to rob us blind.

This year, congress is getting ready to spend abt 230 billion more Social Security dollars on things like "the bridge to no where in Alaska"

They are robbing us and we don't know it because certain rich people control the Nation News services. All of them.

Abt a year ago - Herbert Walker Bush - 'Dubya's Papa was on TV in support of Obama for abt 15 seconds. I actually saw it. He did this. At that time I knew Obama would become the next president of the USA.

After those 15 seconds - there has not been ONE mention of Herbert Walker Bush's backing of Obama - NOT ONE. Since then, Obama has had almost unlimited money to back his run for the nomination.

Now, he has it.

What a SURPRISE.....

After this coming January - Herbert Walker Bush will be enjoying his FOURTH term as president of the USA. And, maybe his FIFTH.

Well, there ya go.

...And us, dear Stradee! I live 4 blocks from the Atlantic, still beautiful, but in trouble, from garbage being illegally dumped, then drifting south, down the Jersey shore. Once a year, the local papers publish, what's washed up, but this is a constant, here; unsanitary and unsafe!

Well, all clicked for Friday and Saturday!
