Slow progress is happening. The slide towards fascism has at least slowed down if not stopped. "Real 'Mericans" now admit that health insurance reform is needed.

Former presidents were on the TV, they said send cash. So you know what that means, do the opposite. Politicians are reliable reverse barometers, am I right?

Some illegal aliens should get federal money for health care, and some abortions should be funded with federal health care money.

I read somewhere that to pay for the health care reforms, an increase in the beer tax (also wine and liquor) is being considered. I am strongly opposed to this tax increase, but that's not important. It begs the question though why did the FOX news geniuses have tea bag parties instead of six pack parties?

Short and sweet. Here's my simple man reasoning. Cheney is a die hard Republican. Repulicans care about money more than anything, more than their children. Mafia dons care more about money than anything. Therefore, Cheney is trying to save his wealth with his current "We did not toruture, and even when we did it's ok because it might have worked" tour.

Nacchio, the CEO thief who robbed all the equity from Qwest lost in court.
In this instance, somehow the federal prosecutors have prevailed for now.

In the business section of the Denver Post today is a story about the compensation of corporate "chieftans" of 15 homebuilding and "financial-services" publicly held companies. Just about spewed my whopper when I saw these numbers, all of them at least 8 digits long. In a table captioned as "Execs cash in" were the 5 year compensatin totals of some of the biggest names in the US financial business' ; Countrywide, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs and AIG. Get your puke bucket ready....

Every year the damage and cost of these wild fires grows. As suburban sprawl enroaches into terrain ideally suited for fire, the suburban-wildlands interface, what used to be a wild lands fire problem increasingly becomes a private property catastrophe.
On the other hand, we are desperate to find ways to stimulate the economy with win win projects.
Why not create a new branch of the forest service or BLM that can launch a military sized response to these fire disasters?

Looking back over the last 20 years, the rise of the internet and email, I'm wondering what the internet would have been like if someone like Bush/Cheney had been in office instead of Clinton/Gore. Would the neo-cons narrow interest in new technology, the utility of a technology for militaristic use only, have resulted in an internet that was only for goverment and military use?

A tiny $10 million grant to some bright people has resulted in the discovery of a truly world changing discovery.
"This project was funded by the National Science Foundation and by the Chesonis Family Foundation, which gave MIT $10 million this spring to launch the Solar Revolution Project, with a goal to make the large scale deployment of solar energy within 10 years. "
From : http://www.sciencedaily.com/...
A simple, cheap reliable technology to convert sunlight to usable, storable energy.
This is the kind of result that comes about when really smart people are allowed to follow their ideas without any expectation of profit. In this case a seemingly outlandish effort to mimic photosynthesis worked!
