Bravo it is now, it's hard to keep all the channels in mind when there are 105 of them...>> ^hpqp:

Why this no be in braavo channel? It's a motherlovin' kazoo, for frack's sake!

You're right. That would have been a great response. But he didn't do that, did he? He did exactly what Henning said he did -- knee jerk rejection of anything Obama does or did, without using critical thinking or judgment.

And Cain didn't answer the reporter's follow up question -- there wasn't anybody in charge of the opposition. That is known. So what would you have done then, different than Obama?

As someone who has hung around business people some, I hear "business speak" -- what do managers do in business? They gather information and make decisions. Good managers gather good information. Herman Cain was talking boiler plate biz talk, with attempts at sounding In Charge and Manly. POTUS is not a fricking fracking business manager. He/she has a much bigger job than that.

Cain hasn't a clue. And he doesn't even know he doesn't have a clue.

I don't see it that way at all. He is merely stating that he doesn't feel Obama spent enough time assessing Qaddafi's opposition. However he also states that he is not privy to what assessment Obama may have done, if any. Especially since Obama is getting the praise for it all when it was supposed to be a United Nations operation. But that is a whole different thread...
I think it's a pretty fair answer in all. You ask a question about how someone may do something differently, knowing full well there is no way they could have all the information about it. He's not in the government...yet.
The response I would have liked to have seen would have been:
"How the hell can I question what the President did or didn't do? I don't have top secret clearance yet. But I would have hoped that he spent plenty of time researching and understanding Qaddafi's opposition so we don't wind up with some puppet government like all the other failed puppet governments we've put in place before. Only time will tell if the United Nations and Obama screwed the pooch on this or not."

At least he knew where Libya is and who was in charge. Better than some of the politicians we've had in the past. Looking your way there Bushy boy...
>> ^HenningKO:
"Even tho I know nothing of the situation now or how it was assessed by Obama at the time and I approve of the results, I would have done a better job."
Pure obstructionist stream of consciousness.

I just watched your other vid about global warming....http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ehDAP1OQ9Zw#!

What was I saying about that vid? Human nature? I watched this golf thing going whoa, cool -- while thinking, fricking frack, how much closer are we to the end every time this hole is played?

LED bulbs will soon be more affordable, and they use even less electricity than CFLs, however, they can be sort of blindingly harsh.

Be careful how you change your bulbs. The 5 mg of mercury in a single CFL is enough to make as much as 50,000 litres of water undrinkable according to Canadian drinking water standerds.

Fracking is coming in a huge way to Queensland, it looks like earthjustice.org is focused only on the fracking in the states unfortunately.


Wish we had proper legislation against this. We don't need it in Australia.

It isn't like the gas is going anywhere until we find a better and safer solution to extract the gas too. As it has been shown, this stuff gets more exensive the longer you wait anyway.

I can't wait to test drive one of those. >> ^Peroxide:

As far as Fraking goes, the only controversy is how these companies continue to get away with it. Water means life. *Quality PSA.

If you cut out all the back and forth rhetoric that inevitably spews between oil(and gas) corporations and communities who want clean air and water and a future, it all comes down to neoclassical economics' false dichotomy.
Corporations (and left and right wing politicians who over romanticize the free market) will tell citizens,
"you can either have:
a) a strong economy, or
b) a clean environment."
and
they
will
insist
we
can't
have
both.

In Canada for the last couple elections people have been scare mongered by this false dichotomy.
I tell you, there is a sustainable economy, there is a sustainable future: dare to dream. Let's all grow the f ck up and build the new economy that defies the bullshit neoclassical economic lies that have been entrenched in our culture. They will tell you the choice is between a job or cancer. Fuck. that. shit.
It's time for the next industrial revolution, the green revolution, I'm in. Change your light bulbs, then change your leaders.

absolutely, this short term thinking they want us to buy in to is nonsense and is ruining everything for future generations.

No controversy really. Anyone who's worked in the field for a company that's fracking knows it's messing up nearby water sources. They all know it's happening, but there's been no "legal" proof so those companies will continue to mantain that it does no harm. Their definition of "harm" being contingent upon a court decision that harm is being done. If your water or land is messed up, it's not really messed up if there's no courtroom decision that it's messed up.

Fracking does harm. Is it worth the cost? Of course it is, as long as the cost continues to fall on the shoulders of the parties affected, rather than the companies doing the damage.

Fracking could have caused East Coast earthquake
