AS expected, the proposed changes in the ESA were posted to the Federal Register on Friday August 15. Comments will be accepted until September 15. The Bush Administration apparently decided sometime last fall that it will no longer accept any public comments on proposed Endangered Species Act regulations by e-mail or fax. Read below for information on how to comment.

To read the FR notice:
.pdf version of new rules

The Federal Register notice is only 8 pages.

The Federal reserve is taking public comments on proposed changes to credit card practices. It's no news to people here that credit card companies are working hard to squeeze every last dollar they can from consumers. Well, change is in the wind.

To see where and how you can go to leave a public comment, scroll to the bottom.

I a moment of confusion I actually watched a couple moments of John Kasich "Heartland" on Fox tonight. I just saw Michael Sheuer, an ex-CIA, author of Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror, Chief of the bin Laden unit from 1996-1999 say twice that Clinton had bin Laden in the crosshairs several times in the late 1990's and refused to act.

Apparently T-shirts have become the latest victims in the "war against free speech". A man who lost everything to Katrina is threatened and fined for giving away a T-shirt that mocks FEMA. No wonder the Gulf Coast folks can't get any help, our tax dollars are being spent arresting unhappy victims....

Update: about $5000 was donated in a within a couple hours and no more donations are being accepted. Hey folks, regardless of what you think on why we went to Iraq,we've got soldiers and Marines returning and finding out just how much their Government appreciates them. This fellow recieved a bill for $700 he was required to pay the DoD for the body armour that was cut from his bleeding body. I am SO sick of this shit......support the troops means putting your money (or your life) where your mouth is!

Lets show what it means to support these people.

The New York times has a story today (and I heard it on NPR) about the first IG report on rebuilding Iraq (or not). Didn't Bush just decide to cut the funding for rebuilding? Current electricity levels are lower than they were in March 2003...the link is below and excerpts are in quotes

Here's an update on the Pombo land grab/mining provisions contained in the budget reconciliation bill now moving through Congress.

House bill passed in the dark of night
Last Friday, in the wee hours of the morning, the budget reconciliation bill (HR4241, The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005) passed the House by 217-215. Unfortunately, it still contained the land grab provisions. However, the bill is not law and we can still strip the "mining" language from the bill.

Update from Bettermines.org below the fold. Check out the cartoon in the Seattle P-I, it's good Read More

Between the Libby event and now Alito, Congress will be very busy passing legislation without public notice....it's time to be afraid, be very afraid.

Congessman Pombo is on the move! With Washington distracted by scandal, and the media only able to handle one thing at a time (and preferring scandal to substance) now is the perfect time to pass legislation selling off Federal land for mining, opening the ocean shores to more drilling, gutting the ESA....and that's just the environmental stuff the public won't hear about. I'm sure the reduction in food stamps, reduced student aid, no increase in heating assistance, discussion of the eliminating the mortgage interest deduction.....

Below are clips and links to the New York Times and the Sacramento Bee regarding Pambo and his agenda:

While New Orleans has gotten lots of attention, there are still many areas in MS that have not seen ANY help yet. With Gov Barbour being so anxious to avoid Fed criticism, his people are suffering. An example can be found at the Newsweek website:

I called my Senators and Congressman (I'm in WA) and I was in tears as I told them to get the Army in there and help those people and hold the govt accountable. I tried Frist's and Reid's numbers and got no answer...what is the Whitehouse number? Does the Congressional Black Caucus have a number? I want to see HEADS ROLL !!!

Where can I get the Whitehouse phone # ?
