Although many may not realize it, the construction industry is starting to turn Green, and that pace is accelerating.

In a week of very mixed news on Healthcare, Iran, and other topics here is some unabashedly good news. For those who care about Green, and for me.

It seems the drug companies have agreed to put up $80 billion over the next ten years to ease drug costs for seniors.

Maybe this is legit. Maybe I'm just too cynical. Maybe...

I'm a big NPR fan, but today they have me puzzled. The speculation that "The Wizard of Oz" is really a story about 19th century monetary policy has been around for a while, but today it took a bizarre turn.

Today's guest suggests that, if cast in modern terms, Sarah Palin is our modern Dorothy.

What character really is Sarah Palin in reality? Join me on the flip.

OK, we all know that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. But on some rare occasions there are those who predict the repitition.

Kurt Vonnegut did this in 1961, but I don't think he meant to.

Come along on a journey from the past to the future...

With the number of 9/11 conspiracy theory diaries being posted and the repitition of the same conspiracy questions a suggestion was made that we should put together some links to help respond to them.

So here goes. A discussion of building implosion that can be used to debunk WT7 conspiracy theory is on the flip. Read More

Tonight was the monthly casual get-together for Democrats in Pensacola. We have some good people here who are fighting hard to make some real, positive, changes for the Florida Panhandle and the United States.

Joe Roberts is running to replace Jeff Miller (R) as the Representative from District 1 of Florida.

Liz Campbell is running to replace Holly Benson (R) as State Representative in Tallahasse.

Both of these candidates are great people that I'd like to tell you more about on the flip. Read More

There have been several diaries today that document the smears that republicans have been using against Democrats. While reasonable discourse is preferred there are times and ways to keep the debate equalized.

It is time to use stronger terms to counter the ongoing smear. If we let the neocons steal the language of the debate once again then we are lost.

Wolf Blitzer is reviewing the annoucement of Tony Snow as WH press secretary now. Most of it is not worth duplicating other diaries.

But one comment by Blitzer is priceless if true. Wolf said that Bush told Snow "I didn't bring you here to drink the Kool-Aid..." Read More

Matthew 25:40 has been mentioned several times in recent diaries, with good reason. It is a verse that defines Jesus instructions on how to treat the disadvantaged. Yet it is a verse that is ignored in the policies and attitudes of Conservative Christians.
