As many of you have heard, Mitt Romney believes that Obama supporters don't pay taxes, and that ever person below the 47% line will always vote for Obama, no matter. Well being an Obama supporter, and someone who pays the same, or possible more the mittens in tax percentages, I have a qualm with that.

I am 23, I work full time at a job that keeps me away from home for months at a time. It has destroyed relationships, friendships, and really my personal life. I pay my taxes, and unlike the others on the 53% movement, I actually make enough (Which is a good thing in my mind) to be taxed and not receive it all back at the end of the year. I have worked since I was 15, which means during my time in high school of playing football, getting a top of the class GPA, and taking college level classes, I was also pulling in 20-30 hours a week, at minimum wage (I used to be a 47%-er).

But I don't blame liberals for my problems, and don't complain about the "lazy" "hippie" "fulling like they are entitled to anything" 99%-er. No, instead I am one of them.

Life Panels.

The term Keith Olbermann decided to call the end of life counseling proposal in the health care reform bill. It is a great description of what the proposal will do, and it is a great term to be used when describing the proposal to your not so politically literate friend or relative.

But there was a point in Keith's special comment, where he asked all of us to stop and have the talk with your love ones, and find out what they want, and try to find out every resource you can, so that you may be completely prepared for when the day comes.

As he said, it is hard, it is accepting death, and it is not something you really want to talk about, but it is something we must all do.

It's a discussion we all must have, and it is one I had with my mother on the same night as the special comment.

Tough Shit!

That's what Senator Bunning has told the American people, who are praying that come Monday they can still receive the vital last source of income.

title= As being noted by fellow kossack R.L Miller, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is planning on introducing a measure that would allow a one year moratorium on the EPA power to regulate the amount of greenhouse gases a stationary source could emit.

The sources contained in those, could be power plants, or it could be oil refineries, or it could be a steel plant. Either way, my area has all three, and all three is known for their pollution.

This is a perspective of what will happen to my home, if this measure is passed.

Well, I guess this should be my return diary to Daily Kos. I have been missing for awhile now, and I figure with everyone all over the terrible incident in Haiti, and the fear we are all feeling at this point, that I might try something different.

This Monday, as most of you know, is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day in America, and it is a day for most to remember one of the greatest American heroes to ever live. It is also a day for us to look at our race relations in America, and see if we are making any progress.

Update: Politico has more or less called it for Owens, and there is claims that Hoffman has conceited, so it's final: Owens has won the Congressional seat for the 23rd District of New York!!!! Take that one Tea-Baggers!!

Update: Politico has not called the race for NY-23, but I don't see any major upsets coming, so I am personally calling NY-23 for Owens. There are 85.3% of the precincts in, and he is up 49.0% to 45.4%. So as far as I am concerned , Owens has won NY-23!!!!

Update: NYC Mayor goes to Bloomberg (R-I).

The early reports from the two major elections from New York, show some promise for the more or less infamous NY-23 vote, and what has become a big shock in the race for the Mayor of the city.

NY Mayor:

Politico has not called the race, with 17.2% of the precincts reporting.

They have it as (At 9:48 pm EST)

NYC Mayor
17.2% Precincts reported

Bloomberg (R-I) 49.2%
Thompson (D) 47.7%

As the Hill has reported, there is some claim that Reid has gotten to Lieberman, and that the Senator of no party is on board and will allow for a final cloture vote on the Senate HCR Bill.

The Hill is claiming it's sources are "sources" or "the source". Didn't we already learn our lesson with the whole Obama hates the PO and is trying to stab Reid in the back fiasco from just a week ago?

Unnamed sources are a waste our time, and should not be considered news.

I would like to introduce you to Senator George Voinovich (R-Ohio). He is your average Republican. His voting record, falls right along party lines.

So it is no surprise that Sen. Voinovich is trying to stop the proposed Climate Change bill, introduced by Sen. Boxer and Sen. Kerry.

The problem is, that Sen. Voinovich is not making these decisions themselves, it is all being controlled by another.

Canada has one of the worst track records with dealing with carbon emissions. They are, on a per capita basis, one of the worst polluters on the planet.

Canada has had a worst time, than most other industrialized countries, to stand up to their commitments made under the Kyoto accords. And in fact, by 2007 Canada was up 34% from where they agreed to be, under the Kyoto Accords.

One of the major reasons, has been the continued cultivation, and use of the sand-tar reserves, along with a lackluster attempt at carbon emission caps/regulations.

But it seems that Canada is starting to make strides towards understanding the effort of their pollution.

They have choose to save around 250 Million Acres (An area more than twice the size of California) of their boreal forests.

If there is an evidence for us to action in the fight for a carbon neutral planet, the new report released by the Australian Parliament, titled Managing Our Coastal Zone in a Changing Climate , give us just take.

The report is claiming that there is a possibility of the oceanic levels being raised up by 31 inches in the near future. This concerns all of us, this is not just a regional problem, but something that we will start to see the effects of, along with Australia.

According to the BBC.co.uk, about 80% of the entire Australian population lives on the coasts, and are the host of the biggest cities in the country.

As many of you know, the US Chamber of Commerce is pushing back against any and all green energy legislation, and because of that, pro-green energy once associated with them, are now defecting out of the Chamber of Commerce, in protest of their lobbying effort against Cap and Trade (And all other major energy based initiatives being talked about in Washington).

The one major company that we all thought would pull out quick, was Toyota. Toyota produces energy efficient cars and trucks, they have produced the "dream" car of the environmental conscious, the Prius Hybrid. It just seemed like a shoe in.

But as many companies started to pull out, the one that we all thought would, just set idle.

And now they say they are planning on staying. More after the fold:
