I'm a little late with this post since this stuff isn't in the fore front of the news any more, but to me it's still an example of how government keeps screwing things up. The Delta smelt, out in california, may perish because of the pumps used to move water to the farm lands. After the pumps were shut off, thousands of jobs were lost (10 to 40 thousand depending on your source), billions of dollars of crops were ruined and an entire section of California lost its livelihood. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/aug/20/its-farmers-vs-fish-for-california-water/ On the flip side, the asian carp, which is not an indigenous species, is on the verge of escaping the eco system, destroying the balance in the great lakes, which they say will decimate the fishing industry, loosing billions of dollars a year, not to mention the environmental impact. The only logical expanation I can find for not closing the locks to prevent this is to save a few union workers jobs on the docks. Some info on the Asian Carp: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-11-30-asian-carp_N.htm So what I am trying to understand is how one industry can be saved while the other is destroyed. How the Delta Smelt is more important than the entire Lake michigan ecosystem. And when the low voltage electric fences don't work, what's next?

Can it get a better name for itself? I've already heard enough tea bag remarks to think that it can't grow much further without a name change. Why for... two little words...easy to spell and therefore hard for that many idiots with a lack of education to spell them wrong, it works on so many levels for them.

Isn't stereo typing a type of Bigotry? When them thar brogans fit yall needs to wers em. Ya sur you not RePUBICan? Ya sur do talk like em.

Dey will tell me what I really saw, how dem guys really aren't all bad, just missunderstood when dey sacrifice women and chillin. Not an evil bone in em.

Why, that would be the FEDERAL HOUSING ENTERPRISE REGULATORY REFORM ACT OF 2005, Lucky. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s109-190 You can read up on how the Democrats killed the reform when Sen McCain saw the impending doom coming. I guess if they had allowed it to pass, then they would have less to blame on Bush. So, Scott Brown's one vote is meaningless? In your love of Bush bashing it seems that you have completely forgotten the impact that the house and senate have on US politics. Even Obama can't get them to open up on C-Span.

And in my experience to have a dialog with someone, you have to be able to talk to them with out them trying to video tape themselves cutting your head off. You are still under the ASSumption that there is no evil in the world. Until we can convince Al Qada and the Taliban to stop teaching people to walk around with bombs strapped to themselves ready to detonate as soon as they see a foreigner, it's going to be tough. I do believe in the Peace Corps, doctors without borders, and the whole lot of great organizations. But there is no way they can operate in the current environment that is the middle east. How long do you think an american civilian organization would last in iraq before the building was blown up and everyone taken hostage? We have been trying to build schools, provide medical care, feed orphans, and a whole bunch of other stuff, but evil and hate are what are being used by the insurgents to hold on to power and until they are ready to let go of the idea that the only good american is a headless one, it's hard to take the first steps to peace.

Don't you think you guys shaped a pretty fucked up future already since 1980??? I mean YOU are the ones who spent the country to 11+ TRILLION dollar deficit..... seems you have not been paying the bills so well Another mistake made by the left. Just because a person attends a Tea party rally doesn't make them a republican. Yes, a lot of us are conservative, so that does open us up to attacks from the left. The tea party is about electing officials that represent the people and not special interests. Take a hard look at all the kickbacks the liberals are giving to Fanny May, Freddie Mac, and the unions. Read about the "Corn husker kick back, Louisiana Purchase, and tell me the democrats are representing you. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

You may find this amusing; http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/20/AR2010012002822.html Then again, maybe not. I give them a couple hours before they start tossing him under the train..... since a bus cant hold all that many of the deadenders. This is typical "Republicans are a party of No" rhetoric. You are missing the point of what Brown is trying to say. I'll type slowly for ya. We all know that health care needs reform. This bill is not it. It needs to be brought back to the table and have have a few more important issues addressed and some of the pay offs taken out of it. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Yesterday Coakley made the gaff that will from here on out be known as "The Gaff that destroyed the Health Care Bill" She called Curt Schilling a Yankee fan. I'm not much of a base ball follower but even I know about the Yankee/Red Sock rivalry. Calling the Boston Red Sock that won them their only world series in the last 86 years a yankee fan will not sit well with the voters. I guess them Dems just lost their 60th senator. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0110/Coakley_and_Schilling.html?showall "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Not necessarily. This was the excuse given in the 2009 elections when Virginia and New Jersey lost their governorships to the GOP but New Yorks congressional race went to the democrats. Governorships are local and the senate and congress are national. Brown is pretty much running his whole campaign on "I will not vote for health care." That should speak volumes. Of course Coakley is not helping herself out much either with "There are no terrorists in Afghanistan," the "I didn't see him there" comment after one of her cronies took out a reporter and she stepped over him, and her absolute abysmal performance as a DA giving special favors to her buddies. Particularly the police officer she let go on his own recognizance after raping a 23 month old girl with a curling iron. In all fairness he did eventually get 2 life sentences. Brown has also had the best line of any campaign. "It's not Ted Kennedy's Seat, it's the peoples seat." I guess there are a lot of factors to consider. But in a state that already has universal health care and last had a GOP senator back in 1972, we should really pay attention. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

With all the closed door bribes, special deal, and special interests groups that are involved with this, it is sure to be a real deal for a special few and a nightmare for the rest of the country. Luckily, the mid term elections are coming real soon. I hope all the democrats are paying attention to what is going on in Massachusetts. Republicans aren't even supposed to come close in that state much less take a lead. If you ask me, this health care negotiation is the total 100% exact opposite of the change I thought I could believe in. So are all the bribes and special deals going out Bush's fault?

hey, at least I'll benefit from this pork! The report says the problem dates back 20 years, so it seems like you can blame Bush, Clinton, and Bush for it. You can't blame Obama for it, but you could criticize the solution he offers. 20 years? What are they typing up their pork requests with? Commodore 64's or Apple IIe's?

I believe fucking with nature is never a good thing, I am no physicist, but understand our planet is very sensitive and we humans have continued to screw the joint since we discovered fire. HAARP is a US military project that is said to be a reasearch program learning about our ionsphere, but it is a little like Japans whale research program, send a harpoon into it and see what happens... HAARP FAQ Wikis version of what HAARP is! Some blame the current absurdly cold winter in the north on HAARP, saying it basicly punched a hole in our atmosphere. it doesn't usually snow in florida does it? Remember that funny spiral light that was videoed in Norway just before Obama got his bullshit peace prize... there happens to be a HAARP type facility in that region... Some will say it is intended to be a mind altering machine also... seems a little far fetched to me but in this day and age anything seems possible. Fuck knows, but what I do know is that fucking with nature is not a good idea at all! If you believe that HAARP punched a hole in the atmosphere you probably also believe that Bush brought down the Towers with some kind of "Magic Thermite" Ohh.. Wait a minute...

Who does? http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=10489 Thanks, I think I got it now. The government lent the banks money, the banks invested them back into the government, and then used the interest from the government bonds to pay off the government loan. I wish the government would offer me a deal like that. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Here is the Story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34816272/ns/business-washington_post So just to make sure I'm reading this right, the government made money by investing into the government and as soon as the government cashes in on government bonds, the government debt is going to go down? Or can they not cash in the bonds, in which case the story headline is completely bogus. I'm confused. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

This post shows that you have a prejudiced idea of what conservative values are. But I will give you one example of an idea that will fit your bias: Family values. It's already been shown that 80% of the criminals in prison right now come from broken homes. Imagine how it might benefit society if all kids had 2 parents to help them grow up right rather than being raised by MTV and gansta rap? Note: I said 2 parents, which means they could both be a man or a woman. One at home, one at work. It also doesn't mean the man has to be at work and woman at home. Family values is about the child being raised by a parent. Don't warp the issue. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

I took a look at the plans for the tower and other upgrades they have planned. It looks like they want to add a terminal and all kinds of crap. Grow it into an airport that caters to private jets flying into and out of the area. Could bring in lots of money into the area, but it could also slowly start driving out the skydivers. I wonder if any of the stimulus money is paying for this. Its smells of swine or pork. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

That's right, the boy was 16 not 15 so that makes it OK..... All of them, or didn't you get that? It's not OK no matter who does it. To some people it seems though that hypocrisy is a greater crime than pedophilia. Why do you keep buying the lefts excuses for this guy? "He was 16, not 15 so it's OK." "I supported Harry the gay rights activist, not Harry the Pedophile." "I want to teach homosexuality to elementary school kids so they know the dangers of fisting." Did I miss any?
