U. S. Congress: Summer Vacation Trumps Action On Energy?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said work on an energy bill was “over until the fall,” all but ensuring that Congress will leave for the summer without addressing the issue of high gas prices.

Nothing will keep members of the U. S. Congress from enjoying "perks" that most of us will never be able to duplicate. During a time of war ... a war that is unique in its theaters of operation, during a period of "Energy Manipulation and Pricing" and during a period when most U. S. Citizens already have a very low opinion of Congress, these servants of the public have NO SHAME!

Christopher Bridges aka Ludacris: Talkin' Smack?

(Excerpt)

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?

If you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man

You can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw 'em like candy wrap
'cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents

U. S. Army: Cancels A Questionable Program

Army's Alternative Service Option

A handful of West Point graduates had taken this option until it was canceled by the Department of the Army this month:

• Cadets with special talents are eligible to apply for excess leave or early release from their active duty service obligation to "participate in activities with potential recruiting or public affairs benefit" to the Army.

• Army personnel accepted into the program are assigned to the U.S. Army recruiting unit nearest to their professional activity and must participate in recruiting activities.

• Athletes on the excess leave option are not paid by the Army during their participation in pro sports.

• If a player continues in pro sports beyond two years, he has the option to "buy out" the rest of his active service obligation.

• If a player who has not bought out his obligation exhausts his opportunity in pro sports, he must return to complete his service obligation.

• At any time, a player can be called back to active duty.

While our military is now an All Volunteer Force, this program still could leave a "bad taste" in one's mouth, all things considered. One servicemember's life and future is NOT more important than another servicemember who has not excelled in an athletic endeavor .

No, because keep in mind that question, you wouldn’t ... but keep in mind that kind of hypothetical is very difficult to know hindsight is 20-20 ... later ... but I think that what I’m absolutely convinced of is that at that time we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.

The Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act (1944)

The Synthetic Liquid Fuels Program was a program run by the United States Bureau of Mines to create the technology to produce synthetic fuel from coal. It was initiated in 1944 during World War II. The Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act approved on April 5, 1944 authorized the use of $30 million over a five year period for

...the construction and operation of demonstration plants to produce synthetic liquid fuels from coal, oil shales, agricultural and forestry products, and other substances, in order to aid the prosecution of the war, to conserve and increase the oil resources of the Nation, and for other purposes.

Fischer-Tropsch process (fish'ur-trōpsh) [key], method for the synthesis of hydrocarbons and other aliphatic compounds. Synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, is reacted in the presence of an iron or cobalt catalyst; much heat is evolved, and such products as methane, synthetic gasoline and waxes, and alcohols are made, with water or carbon dioxide produced as a byproduct. An important source of the hydrogen–carbon monoxide gas mixture is the gasification of coal (see water gas). The process is named after F. Fischer and H. Tropsch, the German coal researchers who discovered it in 1923.

As a routine search string will show that the Nazis and Imperial Japan used synthetic fuels to supplement for petroleum sources in lost areas of conquest during World War II, why hasn't a Manhattanesque Project been pursued since the mid-1970's by the U. S. Government using our own vast coal fields as a new source for petroleum type fuels?

Jesse Jackson: Another View ...

Either way, the days of Jesse Jackson, spokesman for all black people, are coming to an end. The media is wising up. Jackson's own hypocrisies, from the illegitimate child to the "Hymietown" controversy, are stacking too high. And if, come next year, we have an African-American president representing all of us, hopefully we'll see the silliness of running to one self-anointed individual to represent a group of us.

While never having had to deal with Jesse Jackson's mantras directly, I can applaud Mr. Albom's insight into this aberration within the perceived Black Culture in the United States. One needs to be aware of those who try to speak for others, yet obviously have their own agendas.

I personally feel that the only thing Jesse Jackson is "sorry for" is that he "got caught." As others have stated, his relevance is no more.
