Gas Fracking & Oil-Drilling: "It's not just about earthquakes, anymore".
Oil companies overjoyed with their massive fracking/drilling boom in North Dakota are celebrating by throwing confetti... er, no... they're celebrating by throwing socks.
No, I'm not kidding: They're throwing socks away. Which wouldn't be all that noteworthy if the socks I'm speaking of weren't industrial filter "socks" that are loaded with RADIOACTIVE WASTE.
And, no, of course they aren't throwing them into sealed, radiation leak-proof containers (if such things exist - I don't think so.) and placing them in official radioactive-waste dumps (cringe).
No... These brain-donors are dumping radium-contaminated filter socks - by the many thousands - into industrial waste bags full and then dumping those inside unsuspecting businesses' dumpsters, inside Native American Reservations, inside abandoned vehicles and - in the worst case (sigh), thus far, they filled an abandoned gas station with them. That one ranks as the worst, human-caused radioactive accident in N.D. And, again, I say "thus far".
Because these gas/oil guys don't quit. And (obviously) they don't care.
When you're making that much money, hand over fist, the chorus line goes:
"Drill, baby... Drill...".
*Hey! I have a great idea: Since we all know they won't stop fracking/drilling/polluting, let's make each and every company that does so account for each and every sock filter they purchase!
Taa-daa... Another Problem Solved!

Why The GOP Plan To Raise Medicare Eligibility From 65 To 67 Is A Really Bad Idea
The GOP's Plan To Raise Medicare Eligibility From 65 To 67 Years Of Age Is A Really Bad Idea.
Why?
Answer: Simple Math.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation's Center On Budget And Policy Priorities: Although the net federal savings from raising Medicare's eligibility age by two years would be: $5.7 billion, in the final analysis, there would also be an increase in costs somewhere in the range of $11.4 billion across the economy for doing so.
Short & Sweet: Raising Medicare's eligibility age from 65 To 67 would end up costing twice as much as the initial savings.
So, Congress, don't do it.
*Oh... and, please: Stop Negotiating With Terrorists (Including Domestic Ones Embedded In Congress.)

Romney Disdain For Foreign Policy Risks Bush-Level Disasters
GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt "No Apologies" Romney is not only frightfully ignorant about the most urgent and pressing geopolitical issues facing America presently, but he also lacks the most basic awareness of the geographical locations of specific countries which he repeatedly refers to in his appearances. More than that... neither Romney nor his campaign have ever acknowledged or offered to correct any of these 'mistakes'. Nor do they display any negligible interest in not repeating the same ones or preventing new and easily avoidable ones (Hint: Try 'Google Maps').
The repetitiveness and consistency of their carelessness is a huge, flashing neon warning sign to all Americans that Romney and his staff lack the most basic interest in possessing or even developing the skills required to effectively - let alone successfully - carry out the utterly crucial "Commander-In-Chief" role of a President Of The United States Of America.
And, yes, candidate Romney has brought in numerous expert 'advisers' to fall back on.
F.Y.I. ~ Most of the very same 'advisers' were holding identical positions a mere four years ago - as advisers to the former and similarly foreign policy-disdainful President George W. Bush.
Hmm... Surely you all remember how spectacularly their particular brand of "expert advice" to that President turned out...
(*If anyone needs a gentle reminder and/or example: We're now in year 12 of one of the two grueling and multi-billion dollar wars President Bush started solely on the advice of these men.)
Please consider the very real economic and military implications of all of this before you cast your vote for President this year...
As painful, nauseating and terrifying as that might be.

Secret (and Independently Verified) Video Reveals The Real Mitt Romney. Yikes!
Mitt Romney (responding to a question from the audience):
"There are 47% of people who will vote for the President... who are dependent upon government... who believe they are victims and that government has a responsibility to care for them... who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it... And that's an entitlement..."
The above is an excerpt from a video recently obtained by Mother Jones Magazine.
The words came directly from the mouth of Mitt Romney.
The video and its contents have been independently confirmed and verified as, indeed, being GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney speaking candidly at one of his exclusive, private fundraising functions.
Mitt Romney: I'm happy to say, "You, sir, are in serious T-R-O-U-B-L-E...".

The Rachel Maddow Show: Racism A Growing Issue For Gingrich, Paul. (with video)
On Martin Luther King Day, during the South Carolina GOP Primary debate, hosts from Fox TV utterly ignored the enormous elephants in the room by refusing to ask Ron Paul about voting against the National MLK Holiday or about his being against the Civil Rights Act.
Then, "No Newt is Good Newt" Gingrich refused to accept that he'd offended/insulted countless Americans (and African-Americans, in particular) with his "... they need jobs not food-stamps" and his suggestion that poor kids (whom he also said "lack a good work ethic") replace janitors at schools.
Hold on, folks... There's more!
Worst of all: the blindingly-white audience defended Newt's nonsense.
(*Sigh.)

Insensitive? Who Me?: Mitt Romney (the Hoser) and Seamus (the Irish Setter)
"Insensitive? Who?... Me?"
I hadn't heard, until recently, about the unburdened-by-human-sensitivity Mitt Romney incident where Romney packed the family's large Irish Setter, "Seamus", into a dog-kennel which was strapped atop the Romney-mobile for an undoubtedly blustery 12-hour ride to a lakeside in Canada. Apparently, it became a rather messy trip during which the roof-rack kenneled canine, Seamus, visibly suffered from bowel distress - as was first witnessed and then reported by one of Romney's sons - one who was sitting, alone, in the very back section of the station wagon.
According to the Boston Globe-reported timeline of the event, after being informed of the appearance of the "brown liquid" dripping down the rear window, Romney pulled into a gas station; hosed off the car, the kennel and Seamus; and then returned the (now soaking wet?) dog to the kennel (still atop the car) and drove on to Canada.
In an interview on Fox (not)News Sunday - Mr. Wallace asked Romney about the incident... and Mitt chuckled. Following that, Wallace informed Romney that Massachusetts law actually prohibits carrying an animal atop a car: it's considered cruel and unusual treatment. Mitt's response was to claim that he "didn't know that" (that it was against the law) {Did you know this: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse."?} and Romney also added that Seamus (the dog) "loved" these rides.
(Mr. Romney: It's painfully obvious that Seamus did not "love" that particular ride - even before he messed himself and you hosed him off.)
Now, as the story has reached more Americans, something steeped in the tradition of the intentional online redefining of the word "Santorum" and raising of that definition's place in Google searches (initiated after Mr. Santorum's highly-offensive public statement in which he compared homosexuality with "man on dog relationships") has begun to occur. Originating at a website called spreadingromney.com, there's a new definition of the 'Romney' that's being promoted:
The "New" definition of "Romney" is: "To defecate in fear."
First, let me just say, "Eww!". And, after that, "Apropos".
I hope you enjoy this brief clip from Thursday night's The Rachel Maddow Show.

Oslo Norway Terror Attack: Right Claims 'Jihadists Did It!'. Perp Is Fundamentalist Christian. US Gun Lobby Doesn't Care
A heinous (and - contrary to Fox News/Murdoch's WSJ/Wash Post's J Rubin's claims - unconnected to Al Quaida/Jihadists) terror attack in Oslo, Norway at the hands of a native Norwegian Anti-Muslim Fundamentalist Christian (!) who bombed government offices, shot 68 people & left 98+ dead, has led to calls for Norway's police to be armed.
*A Simple Truth (recent events prove): Neither a lack of being armed (as in Oslo) nor a lack of restrictive gun laws (AZ/Gifford event - 6 were killed) guarantees anyone's safety.
Yet, despite this well-documented fact, the American gun lobby is now actively co-opting the horrific acts in Oslo as evidence to support their call for more guns and fewer (if any) restrictions on carrying them - even to the point of collecting signatures for current House (extremist) legislation ("national right to carry reciprocity act") that - if passed - would allow civilians to concealed-carry across state lines... Regardless of the second State's own laws.
Hello? Congress? GOP members of Congress? Uh, what the heck happened to all your adamant promises of "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" - should you be elected? Well, enough of you were (regretfully) elected and you've done what...?
Nope. Not one (nor any) of you has proposed - let alone passed - a single, itty-bitty Jobs Bill.
You haven't even bothered to propose a pitifully-lacking, token-gesture, just-going-through-the-motions 'Jobs Bill'... not even one that includes riders for more tax cuts for your stunningly-wealthy friends, corporate campaign contributors and your trusty fellow wall-street weasels.
Huh? Go figure... Maybe what they meant to say when they were campaigning was: "Jokes! Jokes! Jokes!", instead?
Psst... And, to all of the right-wing bobble-headed broadcast and print media wing-nuts who charged, blindly, whilst carrying their eternally-burning Torches of Bigotry onto the "The Jihadists did it!" Bandwagon with oodles of uniformed and passionately-ignorant gusto...
F.Y.I.: Neither convicted American terrorist Tim McVeigh nor "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski were Jihadists, either.
I have a question for those Not-Really "The News" people: If all of your 'friends' were to jump off the Empire State Building...

The Senate's LBJ Room: The Sistine Chapel Of The West It's Not. From TRMS
The Sistine Chapel Of The West It's Not...
In the 1850s, in what is presently the Senate's LBJ Room but what- at that time- was to be a library, the decorating decision-makers planned on showcasing four library-relevant-themed Neoclassic fresco-style paintings.
The four themes were to be: 1.) History 2.) Geography 3.) Philosophy and 4.) Print.
The first two paintings had been finished when, in the 1860s, the library plan was shelved (no pun intended - initially) and the room was, instead, to be made into a Post Office.
With the change of purpose, the latter two of the four themes were changed.
The four themes became: History, Geography, Physics and... The Telegraph.
I'm sure that the decorators/painters felt that their vision for the themes - particularly the last two paintings - showed reverence and respect for the exceptional painters/works from history... with a few upgrades.
End result? America is (metaphorically-speaking) depicted as the pinnacle of Health, Vitality and - as evidenced by the inclusion of a steamship and a train in the background of the "Physics" painting and the placement of a telegraph line in the hand of a cherub and placement of a telegraph pole in the background of the "Telegraph" painting - Modernity.
Hey! Look up... What's that? Oh, I know... It's Lady Liberty... and - whoa! - She's Hangin' Ten... and doing so noplace other than atop the crest of the latest wave of technological advancement!
I kid you not.
It's kinda weird - not that there's anything wrong with this variety of "weird" - but, in a trippy/quircky American History sort-of-way.
Check it out in the brief clip from TRMS that you'll find below.
Enjoy!
Peace,

GOP Senators Vote To Keep Greasing The Palms Of Big Oil - With $21 Billion In Taxpayer Subsidies
GOP Deficit Reduction Ideas:
Liquidate Fort Knox?
(This was satirical suggestion which appeared in The Onion about 3 weeks ago. And, it has actually been a suggestion offererd by some conservative politicians)
Sell Off Utah?
(The Federal government owns about 70% of the state. Armed with this little fun-fact, one conservative congress member, Dennis Ross (FL), voiced his opinion that we should liquidate Utah,)
Well... How 'bout this:
Let's end the ludicrous $21 Billion in taxpayer subsidies given to enormously profitable oil & gas companies?
* 74% of Americans say "End the subsidies.".
* Several GOP Congress members even said, on the record, that they supported ending the subsidies.
So...Why, then, did those same GOP Senators vote (only yesterday) to keep those ridiculous oil & gas subsidies in place?
Those very same elected GOP members of Congress who most recently voted in support of Paul Ryan's Budget Plan and it's plan to End Medi-Care... those same GOP members who want to make the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent... have now refused to end $21 Billion (with a "B") in taxpayer-paid subsidies which have - for no conceivable reason - been given to two of the most profitable industries on the planet.
But, it's perfectly reasonable to them to begin liquidating the gold bouillon in Fort Knox and to start placing federally-held parcels of Utah on the auction-block?
Uh, yeah... Riiiiight.

The Bane Of The GOP And Of Congress: House Majority Speaker John Boehner
Post Mid-Term Elections: Republicans snookered enough voters to take a majority of seats in The House Of Representatives.
The reigning GOP leadership - individually and collectively - made a point to declare before the press and for-the-record that: The Republican Party is "... all about Jobs. Jobs. And Jobs.".
O.K., so be it. Make it so, Mr. Speaker. Create more jobs for Americans. Like you promised you would.
So... What have they/has he accomplished?
Well... one and one-half months into the GOP-controlled House's legislative activities (Drum Roll, please)...
There hasn't been even a single Jobs-Creating Bill proposed.
But, hey, the House Republicans have managed to propose a total of Three (3) sweeping anti-abortion bills.
(Yippee? Sigh. Nah.)
And, most recently, at a press conference that Mr. Boehner, himself, called together...
Referring to his GOP-controlled House's blatant inability to pass urgently-needed budget legislation (required before March if we are to keep our government up and running - despite the fact that the legislation has been rendered virtually immobile from the 400 Amendments members have tacked onto it - of which only 4 have been discussed)...
John Boehner flatly stated that, "If this (the GOP's current inability to pass the budget) causes people to lose jobs - well, then, so be it."
Yes, Mr. "Jobs. Jobs. Jobs" actually said that if his and his fellow GOP House members' incompetence at their jobs happens to result in other hard-working Americans losing their jobs... "Well, Then, So Be It".
Before the press, on-camera and on-the-record.
Well, I suppose that we can/should - at the least - be thankful that he didn't simply start blubbering and bawling, as he has often done before cameras in the recent past.
Nope... This time the Republican Party's Number 1 Guy came across as "The Iceman": Cold and utterly unencumbered by a little thing human beings refer to as "Compassion".
Hey, at least he's consistent: Mr. Boehner consistently declares that he'll do one thing and, then, he doesn't... again and again and again.
Keep showing America your True Colors, John!
