Isn’t one of the reasons given for the constant fear of and need to spend more to fight AQ because they never repeat tactics?

Any chance the ‘double agent’ resembles Keifer Sutherland?

Bipartisanship is when both parties expose the depth of their corruption. Jon Walker, great work!

Barry loves the MCI, fossil fuels, and the idea of conquering Pipelineistan. Since when has the opinion of his supporters, or the public, mattered to him as much as the cartels whose Boards he is looking forward to sitting on once out of office.

That includes domestic abuse for common law women.

I get it, describing an alternate reality while speaking from one.

As this election will come down to a ‘choice’ between W’s fourth term or the similar policies of Willard (pragmatically a non-choice) it will be a race between brand names with each side generating fear as its key motivator. In the long run it would be better if the Dims were soundly defeated ( as HST said given the choice between pretend (R)’s and real (R)’s people will go for the real (R)’s every time) and relegated to insignificance, allowing a true opposition party to arise. Until then, Coke or Pepsi for everyone!

You mean like 1992, 1996, 2006, and 2008? What was that Einstein quote again?

And welcome back D Day.

As has been demonstrated several times, it takes Repugs to propose bad policy, it takes Dimocraps to enact it. The Repugs supply the Dimocraps with the policies they run against in November, but enact in January. Ten months from now, expect Barry to be breaking his arm while patting himself on the back for getting cat food classified as organic, nutritious, and proof that he is just too good to the U.S. population.

Expecting any type of true domestic reform from this corruption saturated Administration, or the party it represents, is the epitome of delusion.

Boehner isn’t an abusive husband, he just plays one on TV as Speaker.

Let me add my well said. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Barry to make a principled stand, if he can’t do poetic rhetoric that he can immediately forget after his speech, he isn’t interested. He assumes the votes of everyone to the left of Ghengis Khan while he works the “centerists” between his corporate conservatism and the reactionaries of the Ryan/DeMint crowd.

Thinking about it, that’s probably why ObamaRahma was against single payer, or public option. There would be too many claims from the left for all the knife wounds he puts in their backs while they were watching his.

KG-Top shelf, as always.

Apropos story on Kentucky Derby Eve.

Sadly there are constant reminders that Bernays was onto something.

Kevin, thanks for the great work. Looking forward to the interview as, sadly, there always seems to be a drone story.

Don’t forget that when the social climbing careerist started his Senate career he jumped at the opportunity to go to Conn. to campaign against Democratic anti-war nominee Ned Lamont in favor of corporatist stooge “Droopy Dogg” Liberman.

This can’t really be a surprise, remember how staunchly Obush stands behind BP?

A typical well fracking uses around one million gallons of water (almost 3 acre feet) the amount of chemicals used is .5%, still that’s 5000 gallons of some of the nastiest compounds that can be brewed up. The chemicals render the water practically permanently non-potable. (Were someone to put the same cocktail of chemicals in a million gallon reservoir they would find themselves in the cell next to Bradley Manning for terrorism). Under intense pressure, the mix is targeted to a specific layer of gas bearing rock, the idea is to crush the rock under ground and allow the gas to escape (if there is any seismic weakness in the area of the of the layer, earthquakes will result as it weakens entire structures). The toxic cocktail is then pumped back to the surface to allow the gas to escape under pressure, the “water” is then stored on the surface in ponds similar to coal tailings. The ground storage then gets into the ground water (think CAFO shit lagoons.) until it is shipped to “storage wells” were it is “safely” stored deep underground, usually in played out wells with 100 year old pipes until it works its way into wells and aquifers in what the Administration would undoubtedly call an “Act of God”.

Something to keep in mind is that Robamaney is blowing his economic bubble with hydrocarbons, thats one reason why he will never contemplate the greater good when he considers any ecological issue, (deep water drilling, oil tar, arctic offshore drilling KeystoneXL, climate change), and will always put the short term profit of the extraction cartels before anything else.

Possibly, or maybe some of us can see past superficial marketing and realize there’s not much difference between .05 and a nickel.
