Is Elizabeth Warren even allowed to endorse primary candidates? As a precinct committee member, I just received an e-mail form the state party reminding us (that is, party officers) not to play favorites or endorse anyone during the primary stage. Maybe things are different at the presidential level.

From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
The refusal of Superfund designation mystifies me. It's pure short-sightedness.
If I were a land investor, I'd think that it might be a good idea to buy land soon after the designation so I can get it cheap, and since the designation means that the place will be cleaned up, the value of the land will go up.
When it comes to tourism, what tourist is going to know that a neighboring area is a Superfund site? Even if they do, the knowledge that the site is being cleaned up would make them check back every couple years, on a place that they otherwise want to visit.
