Imagine if we could reduce industrial carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80 percent? Surely big business would balk at such a task. "It will hurt the economy!" cries the Republicans.

But, what if we can reduce carbon emissions by changing them into something useful, like say Biodiesel. Isaac Berzin, an MIT scientist, and his startup company are working on such a process Read More

I want to introduce Kossacks everywhere to a band called State Radio. Those in the Northeast may have heard of them, or the lead singer's previous band, Dispatch.

If you like alternative rock, with a reggae infusion, you will love State Radio. More importantly, you will love their message. Read More

Corzine is looking to pull one on all of us!

from BlueJersey.net (via PoliticsNJ.com):

Nia Gill [is] an outspoken progressive hero who fought off the Essex County Democratic machine to hold onto her state Senate seat just two years ago. Gill is sharp, passionate, and persuasive, and the fact that she's an African-American would make her selection that much more noteworthy.

The Bush administration asked the International Energy Agency to ship emergency gasoline to the struggling U.S. gasoline market, where retail prices have soared since Hurricane Katrina shut down eight Gulf Coast refineries.
A U.S. government official told Reuters that most of the IEA gasoline supplies would come from European member nations. The IEA coordinates emergency oil reserves in 26 industrialized countries, including the United States.

We all know his priorities, so it makes sense his first act-of-the-day is regarding oil energy, but it is rare to Bush humble himself, and rarer to ask the EU for favors. Jerome had an excellent energy diary up this morning. He indicated that bring EU reserves to the US puts Bush in difficult political position; he now owes a favor to major EU countries.

From
DefenseNews.com:

Iraqi lawmakers from across the political spectrum called for the withdrawal of foreign forces from their country in a letter released to the media June 19.
...
Eighty-two Shiite, Kurdish, Sunni Arab, Christian and communist deputies made the call in a letter sent by Falah Hassan Shanshal of the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA), the largest group in parliament, to speaker Hajem al-Hassani.

DefenseNews is the only western source, with Islam Online and Journal of Turkish Weekly being the only other hits on Google News.

If this story is true, it would have huge repercussions. With this hitting the same time as Congress asking for troop withdraws and the general low public opinion of the war now, why would we as a nation have any prerogative to stay?
I guess the question is wether the neocons see it as "Victory!" if we are asked to leave...

I'd like to dig up more on this, but I am unfortunately at work and already wasted too much time on dKos this morning.

From Rep Conyer's blog-

I have every major network, other than Fox, bringing cameras to the hearing. Nightline is taping the event, which I think represents a welcome development from a well respected investigative program. In addition, C-Span 3 and Radio Pacifica are carrying it live.

also interesting:

Shortly after 10, I will be appearing on Stephanie Miller's show to break some news I am very excited about.

This is great news! I wish you the best Rep. Conyers.
