I employ all Americans to calls the senators on the following list. These are the senators that voted NO to extend employment benefits for 1.2 million amaericans. Please instill the fear of God into these people and let them know they have something to fear in the fall elections, unemployment for them. All of the following info can be found at OPENCONGRESS.com.

Since Hammurabi's time and perhaps before that, there was a concept that there should be a legal limit on interest charges.  Exceeding legal interest rates was called usury.  The interest rate cap varied in different cultures and in different centuries, but the Greeks, Romans, Holy Roman Empire the English monarchs, and the infant United States of America all had restraints on what moneylenders could charge borrowers.  It was understood that gouging was bad for commerce and bad for economic growth and prosperity.

I heard a progressive talk show host interviewing another energy "expert."  Anyone listening to progressive radio will on a regular basis be encouraged, implored, preached to, cajoled, advised, informed, and otherwise told that all we have to do is to switch to renewable energy, and all our problems will be solved.

It as if if global warming and alternative energy is the full extent of being a progressive.  This is the only progressive issue in existence, apparently. 

Just a reminder:  As President, Obama reversed his campaign rhetoric opposing new offshore drilling by saying, "In the short term, as we transition to cleaner energy sources, we'll have to make tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development in ways that protect communities and coastlines." 

Clearly, Tony Hayward is not the only guy who wants to get his life back. Wouldn’t we all love to get back the life of clean oceans and an abundant, healthy, living planet?

Off with their heads.
