The cost of gas is getting so high that I can’t afford to drive my truck, so, I guess I’ll have to push it to the grocery store.

I exchanged emails with Schultz (at one time ages ago)
Trust me he’s an IDIOT who investigates NOTHING!

He’s just got a big fat mouth and is so dense he became a lemming really EARLY! Was always a HILLARY hater. When I tried to defend her with him his only reply was “WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF?”

WHICH had nothing to do with the email. He was just trying to tie it all in to a racist bow. Not even noticing his misogyny. And NEVER investigating any thing. MUCH like Keith O.

There’s no need to be patrinizing.

“Title IV, Subtitle B, Part 2, Section 426, of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 states: ‘An eligible worker (specifically, workers who lose their jobs as a result of this measure) may receive a climate change adjustment allowance under this subsection for a period of not longer than 156 weeks…80 percent of the monthly premium of any health insurance coverage…up to a maximum payment of $1,500 in relocation allowance…and job search expenses not exceed[ing] $1,500.’”

If cap-and-trade is an energy and global warming bill, why is a three-year package of unemployment benefits, job training and relocation expenses buried deep within its fine print? And why is a federally subsidized “job bank” needed if laid-off workers would quickly be rehired for higher-paying “green” jobs? The fact that generous unemployment benefits are buried in the bill means that “green jobs are bunk,” the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Ben Lieberman told The Examiner.

Since I cover the County Legislature, I know that a lot of the IDA funds have been channeled to those companies.

Problem is you can’t just cut off one energy source and implement another that isn’t even developed yet.

And the wind turbine alternative is unrealistic. It requires too much land, it’s ugly as he11 and despite claims to the contrary, the noise drives people nuts.

But those who stand to rake in the cash don’t give a sh!t. They just want to line their pockets.

IMHO, at least oil, coal, gas and nuclear energy have been proven to work. As far as solar energy, I’ve had to read enough about that and it’s usefulness in the northeast to know it’s not an option.

There’s a huge initial investment, for example, for a single wind turbine to provide power for a home.

The initial investment for a larger building like a school, can take up to 20 years to recoup. And that’s putting the best possible spin on it.

Same thing for converting oil-fueled furnaces to wood-biomass ones.

And solar energy – fergeddaboudit in the northeast. If I hadn’t spoken to some of the foremost environmentalists about these issues, many of which are being discussed at local town board meetings, I wouldn’t say anything. But I have and I’ve also read their reports.

In a recent survey, 60% of American men and 40% of American women have admitted being unfaithful at least once in their marriage, but only 22% of those marriages end in divorce.

I do believe power is an aphrodisiac of sorts and the temptation and opportunities are more available for those in a position of power. Unless the marriage become completely dysfunctional because of an affair(s)and effects the politician’s ability to do his/her job, I would think it is an entirely private matter. There are many things to be considered before such a drastic step is undertaken.

So if I did what he did or was OK with it I might want to come off like it’s normal. cuz ya’know “everyone makes mistakes” its “human error”. Thats probably why so many people when they do something wrong say “so sue me I made a mistake! I’m human!!”

The truth is its pretty hard to find a way to consider things like this a mistake. Mabe some want to because they find other words. Even saying he did something wrong to be judgmental and therefore fear they would face the same jugdment. and guilt/shame whatever comes of it.

Cap my earnings trade my job.

All the political talk of “green energy” and shabang! The price of oil heads south to the point just below where any economy of scale for making “alternative energy” viable as a energy stream disappeared.

Thirty years from now if we do not have a viable energy migration pathway, what then?
Thirty years is a blink of an eye in the life of a young country.

What I can’t fathom is the stupidity of doing an economic “cold turkey” without consideration of the economic dislocations and un-intended consequenses.
All eyes are on Arrakis.

I suppose that I feel that cheating at anything is a mistake, whether you’re caught or not. You might successfully cheat and get away with it, but it is a mistake to cheat in the first place because you risk getting caught and paying a penalty that is greater than the cheap rewards gained by cheating in the first place. If you cheat in a game and win, what have you really won? If you cheat in a game and lose, you’ve lost twice. In either case, you have only cheated yourself, so it is a mistake to do it at all.

You might plan to, and successfully rob a bank, or rape someone, but it is a terrible mistake and a crime to do either one, even if you’re never caught. You’ll eventually pay the price. Call it Karma if you want.

There was an interesting article in “National Review” some years ago about a fundamental difference between Muslim/middle east culture and Christian/western culture. Western moral restraints have a guilt based foundation, while in the middle east there is a shame based system. Your mistake/success calculus seems based on a shame approach, i.e. Mark Sanford successfully got some booty that wasn’t his wife, and it wasn’t a mistake because that was his plan. The mistake he made was getting caught, for which he must be shamed by all. I claim that engaging in an extramarital affair is a mistake to begin with, if you’re caught or not, because of the guilt a normal person should feel all their lives for such a transgression on their loved ones. Sociopaths are of course exempt from either equation since they feel no guilt and can’t be shamed.

But you are totally right.

The American people would be better served if Congress instead of taking a moment to honor a singer would take a week and honor the taxpayers by actually reading the d*mn bill before voting on it! Ahh, another bill that didn’t get posted on the Obama website 3 days before voting so the American taxpayer could read it.
