I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
But it's moot anyways. We don't need to have alternative energy replace oil dependence immediately in the short term, we just need to reduce demand. And that can be done much more quickly.
You know what would change demand way under 10 years? Expensive gas, one of these candidates promises to gradually raise the price of gas via taxes, and gets my automatic vote.
Yeah, but you know, ElCap, even before I was politically active, I kept hearing about emission standards and hearing about solar energy, and these plans that wouldn't put them into effect for twenty years. That's what has kept us from the 21st century, bullshit lip service.
It currently only links to drudge and has no story. He has this habit of preparing the link as soon as possible and then linking to a story.
So nothing beyond that ... yet.
I was, believe it or not, just thinking about how this was never so much refuted as much as it simply became too radioactive a topic to mention in polite company. I'm intrigued. And the New York Times might get firebombed by Freepers.
I have no idea where that link is going, but should be interesting to find out ... I'm thinking it could be a story about Bristol's baby, how the family and the McCain campaign found out ... but that's sort of old news now, no?
More national reporting regarding Palin's tenure as Alaska's Governor:
Quote:
In response to her request, McLeod received four large boxes of emails. This batch of documents did not contain any proof that Frye and Bailey had worked on government time to boot out Ruedrich. But there was other information she found troubling. Several of the emails suggested to her that Palin's office had used its influence to reward a Fairbanks surveyor who was a Palin fundraiser with a state job. In early August, McLeod filed a complaint with the state attorney general against Palin, Bailey, and other Palin aides, claiming they had violated ethics and hiring laws. Palin, now the Republican vice-presidential candidate, told the Alaska Daily News that "there were no favors done for anybody."
But more intriguing than any email correspondence contained in the four boxes was what was not released: about 1100 emails. Palin's office provided McLeod with a 78-page list (PDF) cataloging the emails it was withholding. Many of them had been written by Palin or sent to her. Palin's office claimed most of the undisclosed emails were exempt from release because they were covered by the "executive" or "deliberative process" privileges that protect communications between Palin and her aides about policy matters. But the subject lines of some of the withheld emails suggest they were not related to policy matters. Several refer to one of Palin's political foes, others to a well-known Alaskan journalist. Moreover, some of the withhold emails were CC'ed to Todd Palin, the governor's husband. Todd Palin—a.k.a. the First Dude—holds no official state position (though he has been a close and influential adviser for Governor Palin). The fact that Palin and her aides shared these emails with a citizen outside the government undercuts the claim that they must be protected under executive privilege. McLeod asks, "What is Sarah Palin hiding?"
the only reason i question it is because there are no recent photos or footage of palin pregnant. Didn't she supposedly give birth to this baby 7-8 months ago? how come i have not seen any images of any kind of her pregnant.
oh and the fact her daughter was pregnant out of wedlock was apparently of limits still bugs me. i know its been said a hundred times but does anyoen believe for a minute if obama had a teen daughter and she was pregnant to some guy who had shit on his my space page even half as bad as palins guy it would have been off limits? obama never would have run in the primary let alone the general.
