Actually, no.
We are completely and totally fucked and I don't think even Al Gore can fix it.

Here's another thing that's being ignored:
Thirty-Six U.S. States to Face Water Shortages in the Next Five Years

Mirth, that's nothing compared to this:

a sure sign that Armeggedon has already begun.
!@#$%!@#$%^argh
sorry YUB ;-)
We are fucked. And we did it to ourselves. 59 million of us voted for this.
so... they can't turn a profit, the FAA lets them slide on maintaining the planes.. and most of them go under anyway.
my biggest question is, why is it that European airlines can turn profits... and still serve you dinner/lunch/breakfast... AND have pleasant flight attendants... and we can't do that here?

"Earlier this week Joe Sudbay of America Blog and Reverend Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus delivered 32,000 of your signatures on our complaint against John McCain to the Federal Election Commission."
Way to go Joe!!
no he didn't, he replaced 92, he kept one

Chimpy has completely dismantled all the regulatory agencies...

let this be a lesson for the people who voted for chimpy.
buyer beware. you got what you paid for, now you've got to worry if your produce is going to kill you via e-coli.
Whistleblowers don't get any protections in Chimpyland, formerly known as the federal government.
buyer beware. you got what you paid for, now you've got to worry if your produce is going to kill you via e-coli while a 777 wing crashes through the roof of the house that's worth less than you paid for it as you're coughing up a lung because the chemical plant three miles away is venting dioxin into the air.
hmm... I wonder if chimpy's final legacy will be that he and his buddies managed to decrease the maximum life expectancy of US residents?
I cannot not EVER remember a time when so many things have been unsafe for the public, and for what---the dollar (I used to say almighty dollar). Businesses under Bush have received massive tax cuts and look at the result, nothing to better the American family.
Damn, damn and double damn.
There's salmonella in cantaloupes now. That was on the news this week.

I saw a movie once with Sam and Harry in a watermelon... but it never made the news, probably too kinky for wolfie to report.
okay, I think I need a martini.
!@#$%^#$%#E$!!!!!!!!
Potential for lawsuits and preparation for the coming congressional hearings on the issue
----
oooh! I bet congress gives them a huge tonguelashing and demands results... just like they did with the oil executives.
egad. at this point, I'm wondering how much each congressional hearing costs us as taxpayers... and couldn't they just go out to happy hour instead of wasting our money and accomplishing nothing?
a firing squad maybe?? members of congress, with guns, the corporate greedmongers in front of them..
oh, and the congressional members with the guns would be standing in a circle.
how'd you get to -51????
I just got home and was checking out the comments and damn neared spewed my cola all over my keyboard. I read Mirth's link about water shortage, then clicked on your link. LOL I was not prepared for that. I am still laughing.
Thinking...nope, can't think of one.
Remember the big lie I've been telling you about...
well here it is:
Time To Reject the Big Lie
This is unconscionable. Our safety, men woman and children, has been seriously eroded under the Bush administration. The food supply is constantly be tainted, toys are unsafe, drugs are unsafe and NOW travel is unsafe. Lawmakers are sitting on their collective butts.
I cannot not EVER remember a time when so many things have been unsafe for the public, and for what---the dollar (I used to say almighty dollar). Businesses under Bush have received massive tax cuts and look at the result, nothing to better the American family.

Don't forget the bridges, New Orleans, New York City air after 9/11, our national water supply has drugs in it [and who knows what else], troops in Iraq don't have proper equipment...I could go on.
Yes, the NSA has put the public first----on the list of "terrorists" to wiretap.
And the action in the Senate hearing on Bear Stearns was pretty disgusting as well. Admiration for Schwartz and Dimon in their french cuffs, with senators bending over and taking it...and lost in the reportage of this sham, the fact that not only did Bernanke give $30 billion towards the purchase of Bear Stearns by JPMorgan/Chase, but Bear Stearns was the recipient of $25 billion of the $37 billion given out last week at the new "window" for investment greedheads.
So, how far would that $55 billion have gone to help out ordinary Americans? Instead, it was emphasized that if B-S had gone bankrupt, it would have upset the entire financial system of the US. Schwartz kept saying their insolvency was a result of "rumors, innuendoes" that they were going down, and that's what caused their collapse. I call bullshit. If one company can bring down the entire US financial system, there is something rotten in the core...
Let's see what the Senate does.
Some underqualified Brownie type? Some totally incompetent Regent University type? Or maybe just some rich donor's kid?
It must be hard for the Administration to keep looking for people dumber than Bush.
Sometimes it's hard to tell whether having nobody in charge is better or worse than having a Bush appointee in charge.

(Didn't know if this has been reported yet). I guess the truth hurts.
I see our "president" is really making inroads into restoring good will overseas. This man has the mental retention of a gnat.

It's a situation whereby the Government has allowed Big Business to Lobby all aspects of Governance.
It's the same all over the Government of the USA today-- Not just in FAA.
We had a brief reprieve during the Great Depression... But, Big Business came back stronger than ever. Until some really wierd-assed event gives us an Executive, a Congress and a Judiciary that realize that Corporations do not vote....................................they PURCHASE............
What does it take for Americans to rebel against the government pissing on their legs and telling them its raining?
Bush and his cowardly minions need to be brought to account. and that includes memembers of his administration as well as many members of congress of both sides. All of these elected supposed "servants of the people" need to be brought to account clearly and publicly and those found wanting need to be stripped of their ill-gotten gains and publicly hung or shot for treason and war crimes.They all, if memory serves, took oaths to protect and defend the Consrtitution. Is anyone going to stand up and say that this what Bush and Cheney did? The craven members of the republicon congress for six years that did nothing but rubberstamp the fascist attempts of the administration to shred the Constitution and turn America into some sort of third rate banana republic while at the sme time supporting Bush's immoral and illegal war. They all need to be publicly brought to account and punished, not allowed to slink into retirement with pensions and no application of punishment. This is why Nancy Pelosi has no honest option but to instigate Impeachment proceedings again all the applicable people. Her stubborn unwillingness to do this only consigns her to the list of those who have condoned the efforts of the administration to destroy this country.
Thanks, I needed that laugh. :)
Rab,
I doubt anyone sees a fix in 4 years time. I certainly don't. The hope is that an Obama presidency may begin to right our course towards an America that is more recognizable, to us and to the world.
Thirty-Six U.S. States to Face Water Shortages in the Next Five Years

ToTo, there are no absolutes.
I hardly know what to write, except to say that I'm sorry for your direct and personal losses at the hands of this corrupt government.
Aquarius,
How happy the world will be when we are rid of this ignorant bastard and his string-pullers. We should have given the world this gift years ago.
Myself, Karol, and any of the Unrulies tend to rack up hefty minus points. Considering who is doing it, I think of minus points as a badge of honor. The higher, the better.
