Outpouring of Support For Wind Power

1,854 Letters Sent to PSC

So many people have sent in substantive, thoughtful letters and emails on wind power that I find myself overwhelmed. I can hardly express what this outpouring of support for wind means except to say that PSC Chair Arnetta McRae and other state officials involved in this process have repeatedly mentioned that they have taken note of the unprecedented public interest in this issue.

If Harris McDowell and Delmarva Power are able to kill wind power it will be a stark rebuke to the notion that we live in a representative Democracy.

Somebody needs to get this guy the fucking memo!

One of the world’s richest men will have an opportunity to revive his campaign to preserve the estate tax at a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday.

Buffett, one of the world’s richest men and now its biggest philanthropist, has been an outspoken critic of efforts to repeal the estate tax and is scheduled to testify at a Senate Finance Committee hearing on how current law affects estate tax planning.

Who the hell does this guy think he is? Doesn’t he know it’s his money even when he is dead? What a total moron!

George Bush knows a Democracy when he sees one

Sure we know about the burgeoning democracy Iraq is about to become, we also know that freedom is on the march in Pakistan.  But did you know that George called it in Georgia too?  No not that Georgia that prays to God for Rain…

 The Georgia that President Bush has called a “beacon of democracy” in the region.

Apparently thier President gets the US version of Democracy too…

Addressing the country on television Wednesday, the American-educated Saakashvili said: “We cannot let our country become the stage for dirty geopolitical escapades by other countries,” an allusion to Russia. “Our democracy needs the firm hand of the authorities.”

And honestly what Democracy doesn’t need a firm hand? Not some pussy like invisible hand!

This hand is so firm in fact

Opponents say Saakashvili’s government has become increasingly authoritarian in ways that echo Soviet days, allowing judicial abuse and political intimidation

AWESOME! I wonder if Bush looked into this guys eyes and saw his soul too?

oh and this little nugget is sweet too…

About 9 p.m., Imedi, a television station known for its opposition to the government, went off the air in the middle of a live broadcast. Before the screen went black, the anchor said police had entered the premises and had told employees to lie on the floor.

He called on foreign governments to respond. Imedi has been owned jointly by billionaire opposition supporter Badri Patarkatsishvili and Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Last week, the station announced that News Corp. was increasing its shares to a majority stake.

Doctor’s orders!

I told my doctor I wasn’t feeling to fresh.  My color was a bit off this past week.  As the hottest blogger in Delaware keeping up appearances is a full time job.  So when my doctor recommends me do something I do it, especially when it comes to looking good.

He told me to suck on a tail pipe.  I couldn’t believe it? WTF? I had to clarify.

 “A car tail pipe Doc?” Why the hell would I do that?
He said, “listen Donviti, it’s safe trust me. They do it for meat you know?”

“I didn’t know that Doc.” I said with a puzzled look as he inserted a finger into my rectum.  He promised me that they use Carbon Monoxide all the time to make the meat look fresh and tasty.  he said if you want to look fresh and Tasty I suggest you do the same.  So I pulled up my pants, thanked the doc and left with my perscription to suck on a tail pipe 2x a day after I ate. 

Well if there is one thing I like, it’s having my meat fresh and tasty.  But, I have to admit I don’t feel much better, but I still look good.

Man, god bless the meat industry and the FDA for finding a way to make me and my meat look good, well past thier experation date!

woohoo

Support the “Congressional Representation Accountability Act”

I don’t have much on this yet, but it seems that a bill is in the works that could be introduced next session that would require our Congressional delegation to report back to Delawareans in person on a regular schedule.

The idea is to keep our elected representatives from ducking their responsibility to stand face to face with their constituents and explain their votes and how they feel those votes were in the best interest of their constituents.

This would be a bill that I’m sure would enjoy widespread bipartisan support.

It is kind of sad really that Mike Castle’s plans to dodge the electorate require this kind of legislative remedy – but there you have it. We can’t rely on Castle to simply do the right thing.
