1. Hmmmm, to nominate or not.  Can I get a cut of the increase in ad revenue if they pick Colorado Pols?

2. How about “undying gratitude” instead? It’s like money, only…okay, it’s not like money.

3. Since the Bush administration took office in 2001, it has been more lenient than its predecessors toward mining companies facing serious safety violations, issuing fewer and smaller major fines and collecting less than half of the money that violators owed, a Knight Ridder investigation has found.

   At one point last year, the Mine Safety and Health Administration fined a coal company $440 for a “significant and substantial” violation that ended in the death of a Kentucky man. The firm, International Coal Group Inc., is the same company that owns the Sago mine in West Virginia, where 12 workers died last week.

   The $440 fine remains unpaid.

   Workers are expendable, with corporate america and Repugs in control. They will make it legal to hire undocumented aliens and prevent lawsuits for neglect resulting in injury or death,

   Where are all these Dems you are talking about that are pushing for legislation to close off the borders?
