So, we're worried about Iran having nuclear, when there are these hazards:

Employees at the Dimona nuclear reactor told an Israeli court that they were sickened with cancer and other illnesses due to radioactive leaks. During a hearing Wednesday in Petach Tikvah District Court, the attorney for 44 employees and their families presented internal memos claiming that the leak of radioactive substances was caused by safety problems. A former deputy head of Dimona's Negev Nuclear Research Center safety division also testified that there had been radiation leaks, Haaretz reported. The employees of the Dimona reactor and the Soreq Nuclear Research Center in the mid-1990s who filed suit want to be recognized as victims of work-related accidents. Some of the plaintiffs have died since the suit was filed. The Dimona plant is said to be the source of fuel for Israeli nuclear weapons, though Israel has remained ambiguous about whether it has such weapons

Yves Smith , blogger (Naked Capitalism) and author (Econned) seems to bring out another support for the Shock doctrine undermining of the U.S (world?) economy. I haven't read the book (I probably won't understand half of it ;-)
but listening to her talk on Biz. News Network interview of Yves Smith, I seem to hear another voice echoing Naomi's.

Wow, again, wow. This is like night and day. thank god we are moving into the day part. I just saw a picture Obama holding a paint roller, on MSNBC site. I am amazed that here we have some one that leads by example. I know some could call it a photo op, but that's so much better than the 8 yrs of brush cutting.

Yes, brush cutting. Why did he cut brush? Will we know , and do we really care? Great photo op. I think it was his idea of a TDR moment.gagh.

Here in the picture Obama takes a roller in hand shows how to work in the service of the public. I was really warmed yesterday with the addition of Pete Seeger signing the forgotten stanzas of "This Land is Your Land"

I'm trying to develop rhetorical tactics to disarm those whom I find wrong. So far I've been thinking about how their arguments are wrong and how to derail the juggernaut of a couple of the rightwing memes. I also, due to personal beliefs (Quaker influenced) find it hard to resort to just adding labels (that fit) or name calling. I also feel that these people are for the most part just (self?)led down the wrong path. My current thought is that for the Christian conservatives, are hypocritical, but refuse to realize it.

Hey its not warm or anything, but we just set a new record for lowest Artic ice area. Yeah!! By the way , this is a month before the normal yearly minimum is usually reached.

In previous record sea ice minima years, ice area anomalies were confined to certain sectors (N. Atlantic, Beaufort/Bering Sea, etc). The character of 2007's sea ice melt is unique in that it is dramatic and covers the entire Arctic sector. Atlantic, Pacific and even the central Arctic sectors are showing large negative sea ice area anomalies.

See here for details:Cryosphere Today site

This Kevin Sites Hotzone is a good article talking about how our guvmnt (and how well that fits, with the current administration -- no need for intelligence, honesty, dignity, just gotta be one of da boys).
Mr Rushing brings out - our Secretary of Defense Lies and takes no account of winning the hearts and minds:

RUSHING: When (former Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld would go out in the press and say they show beheadings, I'm not sure if he was misinformed or he was lying.
SITES: Was it an outright lie?

RUSHING: It's not for me to say. It's hard to believe he could be so misinformed for such a long period of time because he did it over and over and over again. He did it after I informed some of his senior aides that that wasn't the case — and that every time he said that in the press and they played that clip in the Arab press, that not only did he lose credibility, because everyone in the Arab world who watches Al Jazeera all the time and they all do, they know they've never seen a beheading on Al Jazeera.

Cal Thomas, (un?)wittingly steps into the heart of conservative hypocrisy.
Though I rarely find Cal Thomas sometimes not an extremist, and he is not a loud mouthed clown like AnnC, Newt(sometimes), and Rush(=evil Krusty), this time his nonsense hit home I find this one easy to backhand into his court. And it's not only me, hit a nerve with muslims.

Thomas' commentary prompted the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to urge its supporters to contact WTOP and voice their concerns. WTOP received many calls and emails from both sides.

On Wednesday, WTOP invited Ibrahim Hooper, a CAIR spokesperson and Cal Thomas, to separately respond to Thomas' previous comments.

In his reponse, Hooper said Thomas' comments undermined CAIR's effort to promote mutual understanding and social justice.

"For him, I would imagine that his next step is the expulsion of the Muslim-American community," Hooper said. "We condemn extremism. We've condemned terrorism....We've issued dozens of condemnations on dozens of terrorism attacks."

I was astounded by the Washington T(P)oast ('net site) today. On the front page was a piece about Nancys' clothes. OH COME ON. Lets see; she's the benefactor and end result of multiple political upsets, shes a an attractor of right wing ire and fear, she now (soon?) holds/influences a considerable amount of world power and we want to talk about her clothes. Do we talk about Kennedy's suits, Bush's haircuts, or Hastert's tie selection? NOT ON THE FRONT PAGE. Its not a a slow news day, so don't bring up that argument.

I did some research with new.Google, and thankfully found no similar articles, so someone on the web Editor's staff is probably just nutty. But please stop it! This does not help us talk about serious matters, such as Iraq, Torture, and $$$$.

ARGH.

Don't get me wrong, I'm against a lot of what Bushy stands for, but it has to be pointed out that maybe he's found $5bill. or so to save from the budget. And by the way, setting the GOP against itself! (Bonus Round) Agricultural subsidies, specifically cotton, are getting out of hand. The Washington post reports that Bushy plans to slowly (like a glacier) over 10 years reduce these, by capping individual payments and !gasp! reducing loopholes for big business farms. WP reports that this affects a lot of people who voted for him. Cough Knife in the back Cough! Article link
