Polsters: where do I get a kilt using the official Colorado State Tartan? I want top quality.
Specialty weaves here.
Unlike yourself (or me, prior to 30 minutes ago, that is), not many people are aware that Colorado has an official state tartan, designed by Rev. John B. Pahls, an Episcopal clergyman. (But please bear in mind, people, that it is wholly different from the CSU tartan.)
So, Get Your "Mac" On!
I like it.
It certainly fells Ohio's.
More than 100 scientists and economists call for rejection of Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
More stunning aerial views of tar sands production in Canada.
Since it really will not "create jobs" as advertised, and we can get equivalent energy production with renewables, let's stand with tribal leaders to say "No! to Keystone pipeline. .
We need to approve Keystone for 2 reasons:
1. Make Canadian government happy.
2. Fuck Maduro.
All other arguments in favor are bogus.
Lots of enviro arguments against, but see #1 and #2 above.
It's time to stop fueling the world economy on dinosaur poop and transition to 21st century energy resources. We didn't leave the Stone Age because we ran out of stones.
While I agree about dino poop, see #1 and #2 above.
1). If the Canadian government spent half-as-much energy and time trying to develop their natural resources via the farmers and rural communites across the Canadian prairies – as opposed to trying to sell this prehistoric form of energy to the world – the transition would be well underway.
2). If we had embraces this transition a decade ago with the seriousness it should afford, what Maduro thought/did wouldn't matter to anyone in the free world. The two best times to plant a tree are 20 years ago and today. Same philosophy applies to our energy transition.
1. With Canada, the new US ambassador is negotiating. I'm not happy with where the negotiations are going – it looks as if they're negotiating conditions for putting Keystone in place, and the trans-pacific partnership, which will gut US jobs, again. Canada's coming down hard on its own environmentalists.
2. With Maduro's Venezuela, Maduro thinks that the CIA is probably promoting internal dissent in order to seize their oil- and Venezuela is no socialist utopia. I think socialist utopias tend to devolve into dictatorships, and Venezuela is following that pattern to a T.
So to answer your arguments, davebarnes,our relationship with Canada is in no danger, and our relationship with Venezuela will continue to deteriorate, following a well-worn and predictable, but unfortunate, path.
It is not about our relationship with VZ.
It is about substituting Canada oil for VZ in Houston and depriving VZ of some oil revenue.
If we converted just 17% of our known waste biomass resources to advanced biofuels across the prairies and heartland of the United States we would produce 3x the liquid energy proposed to come down the KXL. And we'd produce 100's of thousands of real jobs, right here in our own economy. We're drowing in resources – while simultaneously experiencing a historic drought of political will. A drought not the result of natural causes, but one created by a man-made phenomenon.
I thought we we Coloradans were supposed to hate Texans. Why are we so keen on helping them get oil?
Multinational companies laugh at state (and national) boundaries. It's all profit, pretty much goes in the same pot in the end.
Ummm, keystone benefits the koch boys, keystone is a bad idea, Fuck the Canadian government, Maduro has nothing to do with this…a real big problem with keystone has been the ursurping of the "eminate domain" by foreign corporations…the perversion of this American Government process is a Koch brothers' wet dream, and probably they paid off people to do it…like a gop governor or three…there is no sane argument for keystone…
the keystone xl is wrong on many levels…but mostly…we don’t need it. Dave and Charlie will make billions …that’s the important part.
Follow the money – always, follow the money.
Can't we just settle on number 2 alone?
Dave, I would add 3. Down the road undermines Putin.
no clue…as usual.
Hack Reporter Arthur Kane grunted out another shrill piece of yellow journalism on the front page of the Post.
After conducting a total of two interviews and a failed attempt at ambushing Hick, the article could accurately have used the headline "AMENDMENT S WORKING JUST LIKE WE TOLD VOTERS IN 2012!!!!"
Where's
ArapagopNeebs when you need him? His dream of a knife attack in a high school has finally happened. Twenty people were stabbed. However, no one is expected to die from their injuries, unlike, say, what happens when the weapon is a gun. We don't need no gun control, guns are fun.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26959628
