“She said she would “reach out” to Senator Barack Obama, the president-elect, on these issues and more.”
So she’s gonna reach out to the Muslim, terrorist, socialist? I guess she’s never heard that saying about burning bridges.
With Senator Ted Stevens taking $250,000 in gifts and getting reelected and this piece of work as governor, I’m thinking about joining the Alaskan Independence Party myself.

The Bush administration is rushing forward with plans to mine near the Grand Canyon for uranium, ignoring a command from Congress to cease such operations. Since 2003, mining interests have staked out over 800 uranium claims within five miles of Grand Canyon National Park. As Mineweb reports, “The Bureau of Land Management has published a proposed rule which rejects the House Natural Resources Emergency Resolution enacted in June that bans uranium mining and exploration near the Grand Canyon National Park.” The Arizona Republic explains what’s at stake:
Never mind that the drinking water of more than 30 million people, served by the Colorado River, is at risk …

Or that Grand Canyon National Park is still dealing with the toxic mess from past mines …

Hey Obamites —
Y’all looking forward to the compulsory national community service?
That’s right. Slavery. Can’t get a high school graduation certificate if you don’t do it.
But it’s worse than that. Slavery if you’re between 17 and 25.
Three months of slavery for Obama. How will you pay for rent and beer? You’ll have to do without.
But at least your gasoline and mortgage will be paid. Right? Right?
Obama’s national service plan (PDF) says:
Schools that require service as part of the educational experience create improved learning environments and serve as resources for their communities. The Obama-Biden plan sets a goal for all students to engage in service, with middle and high school students performing 50 hours of service each year, and college students performing 100 hours of service each year. Under this plan, students would graduate college with as many as 17 weeks of public service experience under their belts.
But schools set their own policies, don’t they? Well … sort of. You see, as the saying goes, “he who takes the king’s coin becomes the king’s man.” And most public schools depend on federal dollars. As Obama elaborated in a speech last December, “At the middle and high school level, we’ll make federal assistance conditional on school districts developing service programs, and give schools resources to offer new service opportunities.”
Who is your slave-master?
Obama
All hail to THE ONE!

Bush admin. to strip land protection power from Congress
October 13, 2008 · Print This Article
In a regulatory jujitsu move, the Bush administration is seeking to abolish a rule used earlier this year by the Democrat-controlled House natural resources committee to withdraw more than a million acres near the Grand Canyon from uranium exploration.
The Interior Department calls the rule — which allows the both the Senate and House committees to issue “emergency declarations” to protect threatened wilderness — redundant.
But the timing is more than a bit suspicious, coming as it does only a few weeks after environmental groups sued the Secretary of the Interior Dick Kempthorne over Interior’s failure to stop granting exploration permits to uranium mining companies near the Canyon.
Taylor McKinnon, public lands program director for the Center for Biological Diversity, who I spoke with last Friday, calls the move a fairly transparent response to a string of victories by environmentalists.
“I don’t hesitate to say that this is a response to the emergency withdrawal at Grand Canyon, and our lawsuit against Secretary Kempthorne challenging his defiance of that,” he tells me.
(For more background about uranium mining near Grand Canyon, check out this post from a few weeks ago)
Interior — and the Bureau of Land Management, which they oversee — argue that places like the Grand Canyon are already protected by federal laws like the National Environmental Policy Act and others. The AP has a response from BLM here.
Not so, says McKinnon.
“If that were true, all the uranium development of the 1980s would have happened without incident,” he says.
He points to a mine accident in 1984 that led to four tons of uranium ore washing through various tributaries and into Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.
It was incidents like that which led to the rules allowing Congress to withdraw lands unilaterally.
“We would be foolish to trust them again,” he says.
An interesting side note to this circus is the fact that the last-minute rule change is in direct contradiction to a memo issued by White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolton earlier this year.
The memo says that last-minute regulatory changes are not going to be tolerated.
“Except in extraordinary circumstances, regulations to be finalized in this Administration should be proposed no later than June 1, 2008, and final regulations should be issued no later than November 1, 2008,” it reads.
What happened?
“They lied,” says McKinnon.
What else is new?
nice must be a profit in it for HAliburton….
Haliburton is the tip of the (quickly melting) iceburg.
…taylor…while i fully agree w/ you, i’d suggest that the statement “calls the move a fairly transparent response to a string of victories by environmentalists”, to not fully carry the weight of the egregious & duplicitous machinations going on behind the scenes as the final curtain is about to draw closed on this administration…
…bushco are working to ramrod as many last minute changes through as they can get away w/…on as many fronts as they can get away w/…it ain’t gonna be over “when the fat lady sings”…we’ll be picking up after them for years to come, no matter what administration is in “power”…

B. Liberal Judges and big government
C. Open borders and a more “ethnically diverse” country.
D. Abolition of 2nd amendment rights.
E. Abortion and gay marriage.

…oh, btw…why is it so many folks stood up to be counted if they didn’t think young mr obama had something worthwhile to offer ???…did it have anything to do w/ the last 8 years ???…the ‘good job’ the present administration has done on so many fronts ???…the reality of it all seems to have ‘zoomed’ right over yer “fact filled” little head…

Bush admin. to strip land protection power from Congress
October 13, 2008 · Print This Article
In a regulatory jujitsu move, the Bush administration is seeking to abolish a rule used earlier this year by the Democrat-controlled House natural resources committee to withdraw more than a million acres near the Grand Canyon from uranium exploration.
The Interior Department calls the rule — which allows the both the Senate and House committees to issue “emergency declarations” to protect threatened wilderness — redundant.
But the timing is more than a bit suspicious, coming as it does only a few weeks after environmental groups sued the Secretary of the Interior Dick Kempthorne over Interior’s failure to stop granting exploration permits to uranium mining companies near the Canyon.
Taylor McKinnon, public lands program director for the Center for Biological Diversity, who I spoke with last Friday, calls the move a fairly transparent response to a string of victories by environmentalists.
“I don’t hesitate to say that this is a response to the emergency withdrawal at Grand Canyon, and our lawsuit against Secretary Kempthorne challenging his defiance of that,” he tells me.
(For more background about uranium mining near Grand Canyon, check out this post from a few weeks ago)
Interior — and the Bureau of Land Management, which they oversee — argue that places like the Grand Canyon are already protected by federal laws like the National Environmental Policy Act and others. The AP has a response from BLM here.
Not so, says McKinnon.
“If that were true, all the uranium development of the 1980s would have happened without incident,” he says.
He points to a mine accident in 1984 that led to four tons of uranium ore washing through various tributaries and into Grand Canyon and the Colorado River.
It was incidents like that which led to the rules allowing Congress to withdraw lands unilaterally.
“We would be foolish to trust them again,” he says.
An interesting side note to this circus is the fact that the last-minute rule change is in direct contradiction to a memo issued by White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolton earlier this year.
The memo says that last-minute regulatory changes are not going to be tolerated.
“Except in extraordinary circumstances, regulations to be finalized in this Administration should be proposed no later than June 1, 2008, and final regulations should be issued no later than November 1, 2008,” it reads.
What happened?
“They lied,” says McKinnon.
What else is new?
nice must be a profit in it for HAliburton….
Haliburton is the tip of the (quickly melting) iceburg.
…taylor…while i fully agree w/ you, i’d suggest that the statement “calls the move a fairly transparent response to a string of victories by environmentalists”, to not fully carry the weight of the egregious & duplicitous machinations going on behind the scenes as the final curtain is about to draw closed on this administration…
…bushco are working to ramrod as many last minute changes through as they can get away w/…on as many fronts as they can get away w/…it ain’t gonna be over “when the fat lady sings”…we’ll be picking up after them for years to come, no matter what administration is in “power”…
#45 – smarter than who/what? i believe enough’s been said. plz crawl back under your rock.
