It's a satanic arrangement between the enviros and the government. The enviros and the epa work really well together to keep things from happening. Plus anytime something does get through the enviros put it into litigation for a hundred years.

But if you drilled for oil that would bring the price down and help the country!

I just love those hurtin' songs!

Thanks, Charles.....

The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

We're all saved!

And the Obamatrons want to raise taxes. How f*cking stupid is that?

Development of a huge body of natural gas was stopped in its tracks last month because the Interior Department ruled that there could be only 1 derrick per 500 acres (about 3/4th of a square mile. That was to save the unthreatened sage grouse. Intentionally destroying the project? I think so. Our government has been hijacked by insane people.

re: #29 wolfie

Found this in Dr. Noebel's Summit Journal that came in my land mail mail the other day:

Contrary to media hysteria about polar bears facing extinction, polar bear expert Dr. Mitch Taylor notes: "Of the 13 populations of polar bears in Canada, 11 are stable or increasing in number." Indeed the current polar-bear population of 20,000-25,000 is four to five times the population of 50 years ago.

Lefty wants to raise taxes on corporations, like they're not paying enough.
U.S. corporations are the highest taxed in the world.
Raise there taxes and they move to another country. This isn't brain surgery, it's common sense.

Lefty is noisy, while the silent majority is quietly going about their day; going to work, paying bills, picking the kids up from school, shopping for food, and the hundred other things that fill our lives. But that silent majority is seeing their purchasing power disappear as massive amounts of dollars are exported to countries that hate our guts. Whichever candidate for President who is able to channel that anger and show the way of liberalism is anti-prosperous and promotes positive forward-looking ideas for the future should win easily. Unless he happens to be a Republican, in which case those ideas will be derided in the MSM as unrealistic, impossible, and an insult to the nations collective conscience.

Same issue of The New American, John Coleman, Founder, Weather Channel, said:

We're in a cooling trend. The sun has gone quiet. Those guys in Canada nad Russia are talking about an ice age; they've probably gone over the edge, but they have a point. A cooling trend is under way.

South America has had the worst winter in 50 years. China has had the worst winter in 50 years. The United States is having a real old-fashioned winter. Alaska just finished one of the worst cold spells in a couple of decades -- I didn't see any press on it at all, but it was 40 below for seven days straight in Fairbanks. Another Alaskan community had 72 below, some of the coldest weather they've ever seen in modern times in Alaska. The Arctic ice cap that we heard all about melting last summer is frozen up.

Just saw the Human Rights Council post. Good for us, shrugging off that company.

Well, we could certainly pull more oil and gas out of American soil without damaging the environment (too much). Unlike the Chinese.

"Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who wrapped his party's presidential nomination just this week, is already besieged by liberal constituencies demanding that he cut military spending to boost social programs," reports the Hill:
Two influential liberal groups have sent the presumptive Democratic nominee a letter pressing him to support cuts to defense programs to pay for universal preschool, relief for Americans facing foreclosure on their homes and expanded benefits for military veterans.
The demands carry weight because the groups, the Black Leadership Forum and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), represent two constituencies that are important to Obama's political strategy: blacks and Hispanics. . . .
The calls of liberal groups and lawmakers come at a particularly awkward time for Obama.
Since clinching the party's nomination on Tuesday, Obama has already tacked to the right on security issues in preparation for the general election. . . . Now Obama must balance tough talk on national security with the desires of many Democrats to slim American military power.

Oh, come on. "Besieged"? "Awkward"? If this isn't the fattest political softball of the campaign so far, we don't know what is. It's a perfect opportunity for Obama to make the case that he is tough enough to stand up to both America's enemies and liberal special interests. And given that it is Congress that passes the budget, Obama doesn't have to commit himself to anything.

Coal-to-Liquid
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 78% Opposed

Oil Shale Exploration

Lightworker

A lightworker is a person who feels inspired to help others through spiritual meditation, teaching, healing, prayer, writing and speaking through unconditonal love. The term was popularised by Doreen Virtue in her book The Lightworker's Way published by Hay House in 1997.

Lightworkers can come from a variety of spiritual traditions and backgrounds, yet generally agree that the healing light they work with is comprised of eternal energy connecting everyone and everything in the universe, and that it is possible for people to connect consciously with divine light energies through intention.

Maybe if their taxation wasn't so high (which we've already established was the highest in the world) they would be able to pay for more health care benefits.

And if Government run healthcare means that healthcare is free, maybe the government should run the oil industry too. Then gasoline would be free also...right?

And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden
We are ten billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

I remember liking the song in my youth, but now when I actually think about the lyrics I realize what a bunch of fluffy-headed, self-aggrandizing generational mass-masturbation it was.

Thank God I am over thirty now.

Christmas song, Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

NOW I remember!

Among other things this weekend, like laundry, I finally sprung for a digital camera today. I'm going to get the workshop (2nd bedroom) spiffed up and take photos. Advertising jpgs, for sending out to contacts here. Want to try drumming up occasional work to do out of the home.

Ahhh.....they weren't so bad.....'cept for that lady......I sure hope that's just paint......how painful if it were truly tattooed!

I sure this probably a good song and a good artist, but I am listening to some of my good old friends(bands) to try and get me in the better mood and block out my hubby who has been in one of his moods for the last two days and when he gets in this mood he finds one little thing to nit pick about with me and my son and the one he has chosen this time is really making me mad. He keeps hollering at us about not closing the back door good when we come in and out--well if he would fix the darn thing---it would be a lot easier to shut and if you do shut it good you have to slam it and then you get hollered at for slamming the door.
THANK YOU ALL FOR LETTING ME VENT----GO RIGHT ALONG ----NOTHING TO HEAR HERE--NOT SCREAMING--YET

I posted this up in the links, but I thought I would post it here, too: Mary Ann Redmond's version of the John Hiatt song:

Cry Love

Ethylene is another great tune from this great album.

Now some men will drive
To the edges of nothing
So they can take a peak at the great abyss
Some men avoid love
Like it was a plague or something
So they can leave the seat down
When they piss

Hiatt does the wounded hearted thing without better than most anyone in the last 25 years. Largely because he has lived it I suppose. His new stuff is pretty tight too.

One of the best song writers who ever lived. Stay on topic people!
