my comment concerns our EPA, Lisa Jackson allowing BP tp dump over a million gallons of dispersants into the Gulf. This stuff is banned in England it's extremely poisonous yet she went along with this multi-national corporation allowing them to make a disaster much worse. What a sellout.

THOM, please comment on Chris Hedges most recent article.

"The menace we face does not come from the insane wing of the Republican Party."

“The corporate state is the ultimate maturation of American-type fascism,” Ralph Nader said. “They leave wide areas of personal freedom so that people can confuse personal freedom with civic freedom—the freedom to go where you want, eat where you want, associate with who you want, buy what you want, work where you want, sleep when you want, play when you want. If people have given up on any civic or political role for themselves there is a sufficient amount of elbow room to get through the day. They do not have the freedom to participate in the decisions about war, foreign policy, domestic health and safety issues, taxes or transportation. That is its genius. But one of its Achilles’ heels is that the price of the corporate state is a deteriorating political economy. They can’t stop their greed from getting the next morsel. The question is, at what point are enough people going to have a breaking point in terms of their own economic plight? At what point will they say enough is enough? When that happens, is a tea party type enough or [Sen. Robert M.] La Follette or Eugene Debs type of enough?”

High Fructose Corn syrup is on the run eh, so now I need to look for Corn Sugar on the list of ingredients. Here's a nice link to a fluff piece about the name change. The New York Times article is actually trying to play it off as the public being confused about what High Fructose Corn Syrup is, and they state that some of the more damaging studies on it are inconclusive. Its a load of crap, I figure that the paper gets a lot of ad revenue from the high fructose corn syrup...er I mean the "Corn Sugars" conglomerates.

Take this article with a grain of salt!

Even though I am not an American citizen, I love America for her transparency of stupidity.

Today is September 14, 2010. Actually it is the first full day with the realization that I am not an American citizen. I am a man without a country. I am also a man without any rights. I have no freedom of speech, no due process, no possibility of a trial with a jury of my peers, no voting rights, etc. Being a man without a country is a strange feeling. I must now move forward as a man without a dream of a better America. As a non-American citizen the adjustment may be difficult and slow.

Even though I am not an American citizen by my father’s birth record, I will still share information until federal gestapos storm the doors of our home or I will have to pay a tax for using the internet. The internet is the last bastille for learning in America.

Voters favor a GOP Congress 50% to 40%. Who said that we are not a stupid people?

Matt Dillon said on Gunsmoke that he went to bed mad and he awoke madder. Let me paraphrase his words with some of my words. Americans went to bed stupid and they awoke more stupid.

Since it is the father who determines a child’s citizenship and my father was not born in the United States, I am not an American citizen. I am a man without a country.

I haven't been able to listen regularly for over a week. What is with the trolls calling in to explain to Thom that Obama is not a legal citizen? Earlier one was just figuratively jumping up & down on the couch - "he is not, he is not!" And I thought, these wackos believed the insanity that the Clintons had the power to kill Vince Foster and convince the authorities and the most gullible that it was suicide BUT they were NOT clever enough to expose Obama as an ineligible, non-citizen candidate?

Nor was McCain or the entire Rethuglican party.

Then the call in the last half hour from Cathy insisting that Hillary was in on the whole "Obama non-citizen" conspiracy. When you are telling the truth you do not need to make up new stories. You just restate your facts. When you are trying to get folks to believe a made-up conspiracy, you have to keep coming up with more and more "pieces" to support the theory. That's why your mom & dad told you it is easier to just tell the truth.

Oh yeah, and regards Cathy, you can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being.

I feel terrible!!!

This has been a terrible day for me - Catholicism is being destroyed by a Catholic convert and I am not an American citizen. This has been one ugly BOHICA day for me.
