According to http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/...

In a statement, Sen. Ben Nelson repeated what he told a Nebraska radio station earlier today: Unless abortion language is changed in the health care bill, he will not vote for cloture but instead stand with a Republican filibuster. He praised some provisions of a proposed compromise, that create teen pregnancy programs and provide tax credits for adoption, but said the bill would effectively relax the Hyde amendment.

That is it folks... The compromising has whet their teeth and now they want more and that wont happen.

Big news folks!

I was just looking around Google news to check the status of a few breakthroughs and I found this!

http://gas2.org/...

A newly-granted US patent (PDF) for the upcoming ultracapacitor technology from secretive Texas-based EEStor contains a ton of detailed information about their near-mythical Electrical Energy Storage Unit (EESU), which has the potential to revolutionize transportation and our energy infrastructure.

With everyone crying how the world is going to end because some fat bloated car company that has destroyed clean tech over the years is now actually facing bankruptcy. I am thinking it is more than about time to start talking about the car industry of the future.

Well either this is going to be the start of something really really good or something REALLY REALLY BAD.

CNN.com "Bipartisan talks in the Senate on an auto industry bailout have collapsed, and the bill appears dead, sources tell CNN. "

There is 2 reasons for this. Either the republicans did not accept the small concessions made in the current bill or the Democrats and UAW slamming the door on the 2nd bill.

Either way there is no way this is going to happen...

Sounds like some spam? Well I aint asking for dollars but it would be nice if you could use your spare CPU cycles to help scientists design the cheap solar systems of tomorrow.

No nanosolar is not going to save the world. They are 1 good idea and we need many more if we are finally going to get solar to pump some serious watts into the supply.

So if you don't have thousands to donate.. How about donating CPU cycles?

With the decision to keep the turncoat around. Congressional democrats have proven once again why they are known as the weakest in the history of this nation.

Getting rid of his chairmanship was the EASY part and yet for some reason the congressional democrats can't seem to get off the tit of republicans. This lack of spine will cost us big in 2010 and 2012.

As you know I am against Sea Shepherd because of their tactics that have enraged the public and given those that whale a nationalism curtain to hide behind.

However just for beeps and giggles I decided to tune into the show "Whale Wars" just to see what the fuss what about.

I can easily see why I am glad to have never given a damn about them!

I need help.

I was not expecting to be one of those directly affected by dirty tactics but I am......

We were at the polls almost to the door when people from A-k were suddenly asked to separate and head to a separate line.

This line was 3X as long as the START of the line we had been in for an hour! They moved people from a shorter line into a longer line!

No signs no clues. Just sudden and people were mad about it...

I was out with my father who was getting sore from standing so I had to go home and now I am having to beg to get him to try again!

I need help people I do not have time to search the vote protection hotlines just link me to Obama's page for vote protection, The main hotlines.

I have called the local news networks as I am sure many have. If this does not change there will be ALOT of people going home without voting today!!

WTF!!!

We just might win this!

I was worried that the race bait would actually work and that people secretly voting out of race fear would get things close enough for the pubs to attempt another steal.

I guess that is why parts of the campaign instantly jumped on it. Likely without the endorsement of McCain. Even Sarah reportedly called her in support. You know she just does stuff without even informing McCain half the time.

Now we know it was a lie and this thing will be prosecuted and hopefully found guilty.

I wonder how these bigots now feel.. They thought they had the PERFECT excuse to vote McCain out of fear "The country will be run by violent thugs!!"

I was watching this video of some woman vandalizing a large Obama sign while the person who created it just stood there and cussed and cussed. To the point of even using highly inappropriate sexist language.

Look, If you honestly expect a large sign supporting a minority candidate to the highest office to actually survive if it is not in a deep blue area. You are out of your mind.

If you think that "Getting revenge" by ripping their sign up or verbally assaulting them is going to do ANYTHING positive then PLEASE do NOT put up a sign.

The ad will be a HUGE anchor tonight. Dragging on McCain like a damaged anchor pulling a ship down in a storm. It proves what lows he will go to and proves that he intended to go to the debate after all.

Now instead of tonight being an almost sure win for him. He is already at a huge disadvantage. He is forced to throw hail marys and if Obama intercepts one.. It's Over!

A quick blog expressing my approval of a hard hitting ad released by a damn environmental group! (When the source ought to have been the Obama Campaign)

http://www.youtube.com/...

This is the kind of down to earth ad that people will think about when they go to the polls. They will remember the "biting their backs in agony" and end up holding the nose and pressing the Obama button if they have a consequence in my view.
