Many people always wanted to know where they're going to get their money. Now we know...

What do you think about North Korea's newly acknowledged nuclear facility? What should the response be? Is this not a crisis?

Should WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange be subject to attack by cybercommand and Special Forces? Like Bin Laden, he is a non-state actor who is causing harm to the U.S. and its interests. He has revealed lots of valuable intelligence information to the enemy and put many of our allies at risk.

What's with Utah these days? Where's Oral Hatch when Sarah Palin when you need 'em? Whatever happened to "drill baby drill!"?
A puny oil spill and the residents of Utah have a problem with it? Are you kidding me?

Where are those conservatives when you need 'em the most?

It's going up in a hurry, pretty much in line with an anticipated take over by the GOP in congress.
Why and how?
First, the intrinsic rise in the cost of gas is due to the rise in the cost of a barrel of crude oil. Most people understand that fact. But why the sudden increase? Supply and demand? Nope, the world, overall, is awash in oil. Our refineries are operating normally without any unanticipated down time. Our strategic oil reserves are at or near capacity, although they'll probably always add more. There's no supply and demand problem and if you want to argue it, I've got more than enough to dump on you.
So why the price spikes?
Same exact reason as the last time: SPECULATION. So why the speculation now?
First, the boys are back in town. The Republican boys, to be exact. With a change in venue in the house, there's less likelihood of the CEOs of the major oil companies to be hauled out in front of a committee in congress.
Second, who gets the blame when gas prices go up? The president, by far. I can see some Republicans in congress hoping it goes up even faster than it already is.
Third, Obama, in a weakened political state, won't be able to initiate a watchdog to guard against speculation as he had originally planned to do. The Republicans will never support it.
Fourth, companies will seize upon the new "crisis" to drill more than ever before with the Republicans on the sidelines chanting, "drill baby drill!" again, claiming they were right all along!
When it happens, don't forget to book mark this post...

The thirteen month extension isn't cheap. It's about three times what NASA spends. One person suggested the benefits given after a year should be considered a loan! He wasn't a politician. Who could deny benefits this close to Christmas?

MSN reports that the Virginian Pilot is reporting about this dirt bag, scum bucket, low life, idiot commanding the Enterprise........

I pray the Secretary of the Navy fires him, tomorrow at 0800 courtmartials his A$%, and sends him to Kansas for a while along with his prior CO (now Admiral).

I still can't believe this >

Probably doesn't belong in politics but when stuff like this comes up, it does a disservice to all the good guys serving present, past and future and discredits us to the world.
