The Ones that Got Away

  • Aubie84 brings up Robert Wexler's "Manhattan II" approach to energy independence and compares it to Obama's "race to the moon" analogy. Either way, "it's a no-brainer. We should start tomorrow."
  • Billy Glad points out a paragraph in a report on Feingold and Dodd planning to filibuster the FISA bill quoting Obama saying "What I've seen and learned...is necessary to help prevent terrorist attacks." Since Obama didn't get to "benefit" from the intelligence on Iraq and subsequently made the right decision on that issue, maybe all of the "seeing" and "learning" he has been doing in the Senate has has led to his cave on FISA.
  • Both Scientific and Thom Rogers both draw our attention to James Dobson's's criticisms of Barack Obama. Scientific blasts him for taking it for granted that Republicans have cornered the market on God, and Thom Rogers questions his qualifications to spout fundamentalist rhetoric.

Hi Al - you helped me out with a sign-in problem - now I know what you look like. Thanks again.

By the way, I'm very confused as to why everyone including Dobbs, keeps talking about telecom immunity from civil suits as somehow endangering our constitutional rights. I don't get it - our rights are only guaranteed against the government. Suing some telecom only makes some lawyers rich.

It's the president we have the quarrel with and I fail to see how the whole thing got off on the damn telecoms.

It's not all about the telecoms. Hunter over at KOS or Feingold or the ACLU can explain it better than I can. I don't teach constitutional law. But beyond the high-minded constitutional stuff it shows me when push comes to shove, he's going to be siding with the Hoyers and the not Feingolds. That's why voted against Hillary. So much for hope or change.

Electric utility stocks and their dividend feature is great for retirement plans and a conservative way to play the recovery of the economy in a regular investment account.

I think we need to bring more ideas for this purpose. Involvement of young people can be handy in this regard. I am happy to find a good post here. Thank you
