Twitty's next installment >> Fracked Fairy-Tales: Goldilocks and the Texas Oilmen –
Oh my, worse than Bush.
Sixty-eight percent say the Obama administration is less competent that the Clinton administration. Forty-eight percent say it is less competent than Bush's, compared to 42 percent who say it is more competent. Seven percent judge Obama's and Bush's the same.

Wow, a Fox News poll. That's where I go for unbiased polling.
well, its either that or a piece from API about the safety of fracking. All of our info here says that we're awesome !
And Fracking Fluid is not only safe, it is totes delish! Just ask Kathy Hall:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/20/colorado-oil-and-gas-chie_n_327476.html
Yeah, I remember that one. Possibly the most idiotic and irresponsible thing someone could say about fracking.
Not safe. If you drink it, it will make you look like Kathy Hall.
I was just talking to someone who works for a part of state government that sees what's really in frack fluid. It's kinda scary, because he says that the frack formulas are nearly identical to the ingredients on a package of Twinkies.
So if there is leakage into the aquafer we are going to get twinkies coming out of the faucet?
Cool.
That high-pitched sound is notaskinnycook's joke, whizzing over the top of AC's little troll head.
This is why conservative "humor" isn't funny. They can't think very deeply.

Twinkies flambé, as a matter of fact.
The poll was conducted for Fox by a combination Dem and Repub polling companies.
I get it, you don't like the result.
You have to think that from the bothched rollout of Obamacare through the VA secret waiting lists the message of we do not know how to run a lemonaide stand is being received by many members of the public.
It's spelled lemonade.
Actually, you cowardly, libelous little chickenhawk, I don't like anything filtered through Fox News, who've been busted numerous times for outright misleading poll data. But you go ahead and celebrate. Hell, this will probably spoil Obama's chances for a third term.
Cur,
Have a nice weekend.
Your mom called, AC.
"Dad" was not your real father.
Yeah, Bush got us into 2 wars with lies and incompetence, Obama getting us out of 2 wars with same. I still prefer the latter.
What anti-abortion zealotry gets you in Ireland….
All women, all families, need access to safe contraception and abortion. People will always try to make life better for the beloved humans already breathing . That is what being "pro-life" actually means.
Driving this need underground from shame or religious beliefs never makes it go away. A monastery in Thailand also had hundreds of aborted fetuses.
Probably too much to hope that world reaction to this horror doesn't automatically go to shaming the women, or those who helped them.
I don't know that this is anti-abortion zealotry – it's more like unwed mother shaming.
There is literally nothing the church can say that forgives the practices of these "shelters". In its own banal way this is worse than the pedophilia scandal.
The Irish people have had their faith in the Catholic Church severely shaken in the past few years.
This is not about anti-abortion zealotry. This is about evil straight from hell, if these are murdered children; aborted fetuses, children who died from neglect or children who were neglected because they were handicapped and would not be adopted; then the crimes approach that of the mentality that resulted in the ethnic "cleansing" of Germany, the Balkins and Africa. If the children did not die of natural causes, then these are crimes against humanity and should be prosecuted as such.
Catholics bury stillborn fetus from the third trimester forward with special religious rites.
According to accounts, these are the children of unwed mothers. They were left at these facilities to be cared for – but that care was substandard, and it was regularly reported that the children at these places were undernourished – emaciated, pot-bellied and weak. Most of them died of malnutrition or the diseases that frequently swept through the facilities and took the weakest.
If they made it to school age, the nuns kept the regular school children away from them, saying they were lesser people because of their mother's marital status. The Church obviously thought little of them and treated them in a very un-Christian manner.
Thank you, PR, for the clarification. I come from Irish on one side. I am familiar with the shunning of "bastard" children and the ones who have some kind of defect or are handicapped. I used to rationalize it as leftover from the days of the famine. Not anymore. Evil is evil. And "whoever does this to a child or the lesser of us, it would be better if they were tied to a milestone and tossed into the sea."
Men who were "bastards" were not allowed to be priests. I think that is still true.
If there was a God who would punish children for the the sins of their parents, including refusing them baptism while making baptism a condition of escaping a very nasty fate, then that God wouldn't be worth a bucket of warm piss anyway. How grown ups in the modern era could ever have believed in a God who could be such a despicable, petty creep is a mystery to me. Extremely disturbing and not all that different from what happened to children during the holocaust for the same reason; being punished for their parents' "sin" of being Jewish.
Say it ain't so! The Colorado State Patrol used the crash of a severely drunk driver as a reason why pot smoking was a hazard.
Maybe you remember the story: Keith Kilbey crashed into a CSP blockade at an exit ramp and was charged with driving under the influence of drugs.
Well, Kilbey recently pled on some charges, and it turns out the CSP wasn't disclosing everything. Kilbey had a BAC of .268, more than three times the legal limit. His THC levels were also elevated, but only two times the current legal standard – and we know that THC measurements are not terribly accurate measures of impairment. Kilbey, even as a professional drunk, almost certainly crashed based on his alcohol impairment, not the pot.

You aren't really surprised, are you PR? Our police are almost completely militarized and partially populated with people of questionable scruples …I just wonder if they are buds (pun intended) of Steve King…..
Jon Stewart pointed out the difficulties that naturally arise when Open Carry zealotry meets Stand Your Ground laws. Many in Texas have complained that they feel endangered and intimidated when confronted in public places by gun nuts carrying large high powered weapons. Stand your ground laws say you can use deadly force to defend yourself any time you feel seriously endangered. So does this mean it will be OK for someone who feels threatened by an open carrier at a fast food joint to gun the open carrier down? After all, with stand your ground, you just have to "feel" that you are in serious danger.
There was also a funny-because-it's-so-close-to-true bit about how the open carry issue is irrelevant for black people who, in light of Stand Your Ground, should never carry guns or anything that vaguely resembles a gun or even gum which sounds like "gun" openly in public or even reach into their pockets. To avoid white paranoia when out in public, they should seriously consider wrist wallets or maybe they should just stay at home.
Bad news: another school shooting yesterday in Seattle.
Good news: students tackled the gunman as he was reloading his shotgun.
Better news: The gunman didn't have an automatic weapon with large capacity clips.
The best defense against a bad person with a gun is a limit on the type of gun available to the bad person.
Not the first time a gunman has been stopped by being tackled by a good guy instead of a good guy starting a wild shoot out in a crowded pace inviting friendly fire casualties.
Yup. The "open carry" people have never acknowledged the unstated racism at the core of their assumptions. I'm guessing they wouldn't celebrate this sight:
I hear that pepper spray played a major part in bringing the Seattle gunman down, too.

Sorry I can't make pictures work.
but I recall that one calling for prosecution. No guns, just a billy club.
How Medicaid lowers high school dropout rates and leads to more college grads
Not surprised that access to adequate health care is most likely one among the many advantages conferred by higher socio-economic status and that providing that access through medicaid would be one of the ways to address the challenges faced by poorer students and improve their chances of success. Addressing as many of the challenges as possible would be an excellent investment in our society's future that would, no doubt, provide an excellent return.
We need to stop being so short sighted. The right wants us to make penny wise pound foolish choices that make no sense. We need to stop going along with them in cutting budgets when those cuts are clearly going to cost us all a lot more in the future than we would have to spend if we made smart investments now. It would be nice if more Dems stopped giving in to them so often to show that they are "responsible" too. There's nothing responsible about the economic or social policies of the right.
