Two things to note before I head out to work this morning….
I have been watching Joe Scarboroughs' obsession this morning. He is consumed with Dem. bashing over the Keystone pipeline and is employing every rightie talking head and talking point to skewer the president and the Dems…but no one asked the important question…
If this is so important to Canada? Why not go west or east to get to the ocean?…
Because … CANADIANS DON'T WANT IT!
The First Nations will not allow it to cross the Canadian Rockies and NOBODY wants it to go east across the most heavily populated parts of Canada…particularly those French speaking folks in Quebec.
So let's just ship it to those refineries on the Gulf Coast of the US where it can be refined (making an enormous amount of pollution) into fuel and shipped to China and Japan, subjecting the U.S. to the risk of disaster.
Secondly…The photos of the Republican House leadership was released this morning…ALL white men…every one. There is one woman who was given a secondary leadership role…on the Administrative Committee…that is the one which manages the Congressional kitchen.
Not one minority either…..If you are a woman or a minority or are not a Christian fundamentalist and you voted for a Republican…you are a fool.
Pssst, hey, buddy, wanna buy a pipeline?
The congressional kitchen? You can't make this stuff up. I firmly believe that while Rs love to point to the occasional woman or minority they elect, the truth is none of them has a snowball's chance in hell of advancing beyond a certain point in the power structure. They are like the racist bigots who claim some of their best friends are fill-in-the-blank. You know. The good ones.
No matter how much they may talk about a Bobby Jindal, for instance, the idea that someone who looks like him from an ethnic background like his would ever be the GOTP presidential nominee is laughable in the present GOTP. Not going to happen. If Jindal doesn't know that he's delusional but I expect he does. People like him will only ever be selected to run in safe red environments, the kind where a Republican rock could win.
With this latest (same as ever) leadership selection it's almost as if they go out of their way to see how cynical they can be with a straight face. As with Sarah Palin, this could (and probably will) be an SNL parody with no tweaking required. As with Tina Fey's Palin bits, the funniest parts of the "parody" would require zero exaggeration and not really be parody at all but ridiculous reality. Like their all white male panels on women's health issues.
The birthers have already served notice that neither Piyush Jindal nor Nicki Haley is acceptable as a national candidate. Jeb Bush’s Latina wife as FLOTUS is as ethnic as they will tolerate.
You are so correct. I don't know why a person in their right mind (be it woman or man) would ever vote for a Republican. Joe Scarborough is a jerk. Most of the mornings I have to mute him when he goes on one of his rants. And Mica just takes it like a meek little mouse.
…leadership were… that is…
Federalist Society Legal Scholars Begrudgingly Accept Obama's Immigration Powers http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/18/federalist-society-obama-immigration_n_6182350.html?utm_hp_ref=politics
Tons of evidence this is perfectly legal. Reagan and Bush I did similar actions, but of course their middle name isn't Hussein.
And they aren't "other".

Repubs keep bringing up elimination of the EPA, but we still have workers getting killed in dangerous and non-compliant chemical plants – many of the largest of those are in Texas:
The fatal amount can be the size of a drop of water. Do we need to regulate that chemical? Do we need to require companies to provide safe working conditions when a pair of brothers can be killed almost instantly if that chemical leaks?
Not according to Republicans. For them, they want the Free Market to decide and they want giant chemical companies to be free to make that extra dollar.
Rachel found out this is actually one of the "better" chemical plants in Texas for safety and was not on the list of most dangerous plants in that area run by DuPont.
What doesn't kill maim you, makes you stronger live longer.
7x more people killed in this accident than have died from Ebola…yet still, no new regulations in place. It's all in one's perspective.
good perspective.
Wow..first time I've seen that photo.
Yikes…
Yikes indeed.
Another chickenshit Dem Senator about to lose her job. Just think of all the positive actions she could have taken over the past 6 years to advance Democratic principles…except some Anonymous Senate Geniuses say they've done the best they can and "it's Obama's fault". Because, you know, Senators are helpless in these type of situations.
Amen…
Rooftop solar on par with naughty power generation in two years? Deutsche Bank thinks so.

Informative and inspiring, Pcat! And this is happening way earlier than we expected back in the 80s….
In summer, rooftop solar would be a godsend to the grid. Of course, we still need to deal with power consumption on cold winter nights.
