Tony Snow announced today that Bush is going to the Caterpillar headquarters in Illinois to tell us how good the economy is. Apparently we have forgotten that little fact and need to be reminded (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/01/20070129-2.html). I didn’t realize we had it so good.
Don’t you feel better now?
I have heard recently from a reasonable source, well, reasonable to me, at least, that we can not solve global warming no matter what we do. He argues that we have dumped so much extra energy into the system that it either has gone or is going unstable. What we need to be doing is learning how to manage the inevitable change rather than trying to reverse it. We as a nation and as a state need to figure out how to live with a continual stream of climate induced disasters. I don’t know, what do you think?
For those of you looking for conspiracies in the current administration, this should rate high on your list, http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/cats/us_attorneys/. Why a US attorney should get replaced when he investigates malfeasance is anyone’s guess. I hope this gets wider distribution and attention until it gets fixed.
A recent FactCheck article has some disturbing news about the bill passed in the House to require the Government to negotiate drug prices. Check it out: http://www.factcheck.org/article474.html
To elicit discussion, I have added more categories for potential discussions as seen on the right side. If you want to contribute, let me know, webmaster@tanqueverdedems.org. jlt
While Brooks makes cogent arguments for self sufficiency and how we all can get on board the train, he does not address the sense many of us have developed that it is an increasingly tough ticket to get. Somehow there is a growing sense that those at the top are rigging the game so that they can get more in ways we would find glaringly unfair. I’ll include the link once the NY Times website server comes back up. Actually, you’ll need to find a hard copy of Tuesday’s Star for it as I’m too cheap to subscribe to the NY Times right now. jlt
Good evening everyone:
I hope you all had a good holiday, and representing your board, I wish you all a Happy New Year.
Your new board met for the first time last Saturday morning, and we are off and running, beginning program plans for 2007. If you have any ideas for programs or meeting content, please let me know.
I am primarily writing tonight with two questions, both of which revolve around our website. The first concerns content for the site: Do any of you have content you wish to post, or are you interested in supporting content posting through writing, etc. Second, is there anyone out there just aching to be a webmaster? We are trying to determine how large and complex our website should be, and this depends on how much content there might be on the site, and on whether we have members who would be willing to support the site.
If you have interest in either of the above, please write me at chairman@tanqueverdedems.org.
Best wishes,
Henry
