| Obama and the Radicals
Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at." This earns Ayers at least some spiritual kinship to Osama Bin Laden. (In last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, which of course went to press before Sept. 11, Ayers maintains that this was "a joke." In a more serious vein, Ayers was quoted by another Times interviewer as saying, "I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough." The earliest known contact between Obama and Ayers was a "meet and greet" at Ayers’ house in Hyde Park – an upper middle class neighborhood on Chicago’s south side. Ben Smith at Politico gives an overview of the time and circumstance of the meeting: In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
Republican rivals open final assault in Florida
The President's job isn't to shuffle papers around. That's what secretaries and his Chief of Staff is for. But, in the end it looks like we'll either get Hillary or Romney for pres, which will do nothing more than vindicate that B.S. works to the max and that we deserve the next 4 - 8 years of the shell game we'll get from either one of them. And the other side will complain and moan, mostly because they're not in the position to move the peas around themselves. .
Chevron Defends Richmond Refinery Upgrade Project
Why would they go to cheaper, dirtier oil? (Because) price discounts can exceed $5 per barrel, which, for a refinery Chevron's size, could be about $400 million per year," Karras said. He added that those price discounts would not necessarily translate into cheaper prices at the pump. Communities for a Better Environment uncovered the refinery's alleged plan to switch to dirtier oil after looking at the final environmental impact report and finding that "it didn't make sense," Karras said. They then looked at documents submitted to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Regional Water Quality Control Board and found that the project was similar to one proposed in 2001 in which the refinery applied for a permit to upgrade its refining capacity to be able to refine dirtier oil, Karras alleged.
SNP threatens to tax supermarkets in war on booze culture
More alcohol is now being sold in off-sales than through on sales. And the problems of binge drinking are not restricted to city centres – they're being felt throughout Scotland and in every age group."Somebody has to meet the cost of these consequences. It would be manifestly wrong to impose a 'polluter pays' levy only on pubs in city centres and not on supermarkets and off-licences in other towns and communities, if that's where we're also seeing problems."We have a serious problem in Scotland. People are telling me the problems are not simply from the licensed trade but also from off-licences."Research suggests that 80 per cent of all alcohol sold in Scotland comes from off-licences. The problem of under-age drinking has also been linked by the police and government to irresponsible shopkeepers.The issue was graphically highlighted by the murder of Garry Newlove, who was kicked to death by a gang of drunk teenagers who had been vandalising his wife's car.A recent Home Office study revealed that almost three-quarters of under-age drinkers in deprived areas get their alcohol from supermarkets, corner shops or from their parents.The survey showed that 52 per cent obtain alcohol from supermarkets or corner shops and 22 per cent from parents or family members.Mr MacAskill revealed the new plan during a meeting with alcohol workers in Livingston, which like most towns in Scotland is blighted with the problem of under-age drinkers.
