This vid makes some interesting points ... if you can stand the guy's style.

I'm not convinced, but I am amused.

http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/205085-dems-propose-reasonable-profits-board-to-regulate-oil-company-profits

The Democrats, worried about higher gas prices, want to set up a board that would apply a "windfall profit tax" as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation. The bill provides no specific guidance for how the board would determine what constitutes a reasonable profit.

Not that this money would be returned to the consumer, just that the gov't would get to dole the money out to their buddies.

Do people realize how many products from foods, plastics, chemicals, medicine are derived from oil?

Keep harassing businesses and they'll go away. Halliburton might decide that Dubai HQ is all it needs.

These will only ever be used for noble purposes, like tasers, and only on the battlefield, never by a power-tripping donut-grazer.

Oh, wait, there's a new battlefield in town ... your town. 

Just a "training" exercise. Guess who was being trained. Roll over. Good peasant.

Here's a new agency ... created by decree, not legislation.

With the money Americans spend at BIG BOX MART every day ...

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia signed an agreement with China in Riyadh Sunday for cooperation in the development and use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, which will help to meet the Kingdom's rising demand for energy and cut its growing dependence on depleting resources.

15 out of 19, right? Allegedly? 

No handwringing from the neo-cons? No around-the-clock network noise coverage?

If a deal like this was going to be made, why wasn't it done between S.A. and the U.S.?

One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a Libertarianish right.

They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues.

That is not how traditional conservatives view the world. There is no such society that I’m aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”

- Rick Santorum

Well, Frothy, not only do some of us want to be left alone, some of us want to be left the hell alone and are beginning to develop quite a 'tude about it.

GOP's gonna have to do better than "Diet" Demon-crap ... or go the way of the Whigs.

In politics, nothing happens by accident ... -- attributed to FDR

"In an ideal world there would be a single global, not for profit, CCP (central counterparty) backed by all central banks," -- Paul Orchard, head of OTC Clearing at UBS

So, it's "ideal" for fewer and fewer (unaccountable) people banksters to hold the levers on a more and more complex system. Yeah. That'll work ... for them.

Hope all of you regular wiki users were clever enough to swap your EN.wikipedia.org for ES.wikipedia.org and drop the new URL into translate.google.com.

Starting in the on-board search bar in firefox ...

Well, it's either that or brush up on your high-school 2nd language.

The list of powers acquired by the U.S. government since 9/11 puts us in rather troubling company.

How's that hopey-changey thing working out for ya?

Just a bit of swagger.

This will never cause a problem for Americans working or traveling overseas. Nope. No way.

FWIW, the Iranians will get nukes as soon as the Russians or Chinese decide to give them one.

Unless they decide to take the long way and build one from the plans given to them by ... guess who.

Do any of these people think 5, 10, 15 years out?

Seems a few of the Big Name candidates didn't get their ducks in order in time enough to make the VA ballot ... so it's time to change the rules. Well not so much change the rules but rather ignore them ... just for these guys. Little Names who didn't qualify in time are still S.O.L.

For those that hate the ACLU, everywhere and all the time, the state chapter is on the side of trying to get the Big Names included. Stick that in your acorn.

GlaxoSmithKline Argentina Laboratories company was fined 400,000 pesos by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky following a report issued by the National Administration of Medicine, Food and Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) for the killing of 14 babies during illegal lab vaccine trials conducted between 2007 and 2008.

Likewise, two doctors -Héctor Abate, and Miguel Tregnaghi- were fined with 300,000 pesos each for irregularities during the studies.

The charges included experimenting with human beings, falsifying parental authorizations so babies could participate in vaccine-trials conducted by the laboratory from 2007 to 2008.

"Predictions" speech from April 24, 2002, given on the U.S. House floor.
