I can''t hardly believe we are going to get through the summer with no debt ceiling balogna, no invasion of another country, and no Olympics. How long has it been?
Almost as long as the Cubs winning the series…
For those who want a better understanding of "tar sands," let me recommend an article at naked capitalism. It is well written for the layman and extensively annotated (lots of links) for anyone who is inclined to dig deeper into the science and policy around this issue.
You're welcome, Gaius Publius. And thanks, JADodd, for this lead. Good info, enjoyably written. Great succinct summary:
Billionaire psychopathlogy. Indeed.
It's good to be King!
Welcome to the 'Koch Club", where their support for your Congressional seat is tied to Congressional inaction on climate.
I think it's time to stop calling the Koch-suckers "libertarian", and call them what they truly are, anti-regulation. I doubt they could give a damn about sexual issues, free speach, guns, etc.
I think it's time to stop calling the Kocks either libertarians or anti-regulation. I mean no whit of hyperbole when I say they're old-fashioned robber barrons and greedy plutocrats who will do anything to preserve their billions, make more billions and gain power, even soverenty — by whatever means — over the world's population as complete tyrannical overlords. They are determined to steal all our money, rule our financial and economic environment and (where it gains them allies) set our social boundaries. Their cynicism toward the rest of us human beings is limitless and illimitable. In short, they are obsessive psychopaths.
The core problem is not the Koch Brothers. The core problem is a political funding system that lets the richest buy the Senate.
Breaking news, FWIW
DP is reporting that Mark Waller will resign his job as House Minority Leader in order to run in AG primary. Brian DelGrosso (Loveland) expected to succeed him. Any of you junkies want to read the tea leaves?
Production note: we were about to write a post about Jaxine Bubis, "erotic grammy" and candidate to replace John Morse in SD-11, but then we saw that ProgressiveCowgirl is already writing one. So we're now awaiting hers instead.
Coincidence? Or, similar tastes in, … ahem, … "recreational" summer reading material??
