Law enforcement lobbyists in Colorado

Another group who could give rat's ass about the common man or citizens or anybody but themselves. I am now at *war* ( such a suckee paradigm is war ) with all these parasites sucking the lifeblood out of IPPP human creativity and drive.

If you have not already heard, the Colorado Senate has rejected HB 1261, the unreasonable DUID bill that could have resulted in sober marijuana consumers being criminalized for "driving under the influence."

Just a day earlier, some legislators said the bill would surely pass, so there is little doubt that this movement's collective voice and action played a major role in this victory. Despite an aggressive lobbying effort by law enforcement, a majority of senators ultimately recognized the bill was going too far and too fast, and put a stop to it before it could cause any damage.

You can find out more about the bill and the events leading up to its defeat in this story that appeared in today's Denver Post.

Thank you to everyone who contacted members of the Senate yesterday, as well as to all the organizations who worked together to prevent this unreasonable bill from becoming law in Colorado.

The US government has awarded $2bn (£1.2bn) for high-speed rail in critical corridors, after Florida's Republican governor declined the funds.

The projects will boost rail services between Washington DC to Boston, as well as in the mid-west and California.

Florida Governor Rick Scott cancelled a high-speed rail project in his state, fearing taxpayers there would have to subsidise the project in the future.

President Barack Obama has made expanding rail services a priority.

"These projects will put thousands of Americans to work, save hundreds of thousands of hours for American travellers every year, and boost US manufacturing by investing hundreds of millions of dollars in next-generation, American-made locomotives and rail cars," Vice-President Joe Biden said in a statement released by the Department of Transportation.

====== Obama and his cronies love to come up with a "big vision" and damn the pricetag or the Constitution. Where in the Constitution does it suggest buying expensive choo-choos ?

Sadly Lizard Brains will win ( lose ) in Egypt

I had held out hope that some great things might happen in Egypt...

It looks like my hopes were very silly... Religious thought will trump reason and reflection. Mad dogs and Muslims ( and Xtians ) will abandon all higher brain functions and spread hate and destruction.

==At least five people have been killed and dozens more wounded during clashes between Muslims and Christians in Cairo, Egyptian officials say.

The clashes - in the suburb of Imbaba - came after Muslims attacked a church to free a Christian woman, witnesses said.

They alleged she was being held against her will because she wanted to convert to Islam.

Soldiers and police, backed by tanks, fired guns and tear gas to separate the groups, according to reports.

Eyewitnesses said some 500 conservative Muslims - known as Salafists - gathered at the Coptic Saint Mena Church in the northwestern Cairo suburb demanding to take custody of the woman.

Mexico mine blast: 'No hope' for Coahuila missing

Rescuers in Mexico have pulled a ninth body from the remains of a coal mine destroyed in an explosion in the north of the country.

A total of 14 miners were trapped underground when a gas blast shook the vertical-shaft mine on Tuesday.

Miners had been taking turns to dig away at the rubble but officials now say there is no hope anyone survived.

The pit is situated near the site of one of the country's worst mining disasters, in San Juan de Sabinas.

Sixty five men died there in 2006.

"I'll bring up my son's body in pieces if I have to," said one miner, Adolfo Gonzalez, as he rested after searching for the remaining bodies.

Labour Secretary Javier Lozano has pledged to recover the remaining bodies from the Sabinas mine.

"We need more hands on deck, we need more people," he said, promising to pay those who took part in rescue efforts from now on.

I cannot be associated with this insane nation: America

Please...... there is no way I support the nutty, cruel, arrogant actions carried out by the USG ( United States Government ). I hate you a**hole media types who conflate America with the USG. It is not true. I disavow any connection with Obama, Bush, earlier presidents and all their flunkies. The parallels to Nazi Germany are mind destroying. The Lizard Brain mentality is horrific. It is an ugly version of the 'King of Hearts' movie.

I cannot stand much more of it.

Stranger in a Strangelove Land

When I first heard that Osama was dead, I mistakenly thought it was Obama that was being newsied as being dead. "Nah , it is a rumour... no doubt" Still I had a little bit of hope that the evil man at the top of the pyramid had toppled off a twig.

Then I found out it was actually Osama Bin Laden.

"Rats" I knew the death of OBL meant nothing positive and indeed a great deal of negative.

Things are playing out the way I thought.... nothing will change ... in fact the war mongers seem more revved up than ever.

Boy am I screwed. I live in a reality that makes little sense to me. "Please Zeus let me live in a land of the free....."

OBL won .... he got what he wanted .... a bunch of sniveling americans ready to wet their pants every time the big boys say "terror alert" ..... "please Mommy and Daddy , spend whatever it takes to make me safe... take away my freedom privileges ... just don't let the nasty ol' spiders ( terrorists ) get me"

I am pulling the covers over my head... I am scared of the nut-jobs that love war , the control freaks that create government , the scaredy cats that want a safe , stupid government job, take care of me , print imaginary money, give me bread and circuses. They are EVERYWHERE...

Kill Bill whoops Osama means no bad vibes ahead

Capturing Osama bin Laden ( and giving him a real trial ) would have meant that he could mount a defense. That defense would have allowed him to mention the cozy relationship he has had with the US Government in the past.

All those bad vibes are behind us now ...... that bad ol' monster is dead. Now we will live happily ever after.

New York City picks Nissan minivan as next taxi cab

New York's yellow taxis have been featured in many movies and TV shows

• New York seeks a new 'green' cab

Japan's Nissan Motor has won a contract to provide the next generation of New York's famous yellow taxis.

The deal, which is estimated to be worth $1bn (£607m) was announced by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The design will be based on Nissan's NV200 minivan model.

The van, which beat US carmaker Ford Motor and Turkish manufacturer Karsan Otomotiv for the 10-year contract, will be phased in starting in 2013.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg acknowledged the Nissan NV200's boxy form evokes suburbia, but he said the yellow paint would give it the iconic New York touch.

The vehicle features an overhead window to offer views of city skyscrapers, and charging stations for mobile phones.

'Best fit'

"For the first time, we'll have a taxicab that wasn't 'off the rack', but rather custom-tailored to create the best fit for the drivers, owners and passengers of our city," Taxi and Limousine Commissioner David Yassky said.

"People are going to fall in love with this taxi once they ride in it. It is going to represent New York City well."

The car will also feature satellite navigation, so passengers leaving the main Manhattan corridors will not have to contend with drivers who do not know their way around.

The Nissan was the most fuel-efficient and the cheapest of the three finalists, at about $29,000 (£17,608) per vehicle.

By 2017, Nissan will be able to manufacture the cars to run solely on electricity, New York City Hall said in a statement.

The bulk of the current fleet are Ford Crown Victorias, a car which only does about 12 miles per gallon, compared with 25 miles per gallon for the Nissan NV200.

New York's 13,000 yellow cabs carry about 600,000 passengers a day, and are the only vehicles permitted to pick up passengers off the street.

The NV200, which will be built in Nissan plants in Mexico, is the first to be designed specifically for use as a New York City taxi.

Obama watches raid live

I am reminded of how like royalty the presidential ( POTUS ) paradigm is. Obama is feted about the country on the taxpayers dime. His every whim is indulged. He can break any law he chooses. He can make up any lie he wishes and he has thousands ( maybe many millions ) of lackeys to repeat it. He can interfere with lives, cause people to be killed, people to be enriched, people to be tortured, people to be robbed. I am not sure that anything is outside his whim and reach.

And he is there because many people like it that way.

Osama Bin Laden dead ?

Whether this actually occurred or not ....... what a big lie and / or non-event.

If OBL is dead ..... what is changed in the world ? Did it bring closure to victims ? Was it worth the cost... I do know that it cements the concept that a lawful trial is UN-necessary before killing someone. Why have trials when popular sentiment is enough....
Obama is milking this for all it is worth .... look at me as the intelligent, brave commander. Out of all the options available to Obama ..... he took the one a 5 year old would choose. People are lauding the fact that days before the raid he did not come out and say with a smirk " I know something you don't know". Americans seem to have such low expectations of what a president should be capable of .... certainly not much in the self-restraint department.

We will continue to hear how every security program the USG is indulging in cannot be terminated. Oh .. the horror of dropping our guard or the spending.

Many Americans are looney when it comes to sex

Many in America ( including many in the media ) seem obsessed with sex.  And they seem to have an obsession with sexual abuse and punishment.  If this group can link any kind of crime with sex ( or make sex a crime ) .... they simply quiver with desire to punish the infractioner.   They enter a mind state that I don't care to examine very closely.  There is an amazing fear of sex.  Of sex somehow permanently destroying a life.  One time an you are spoiled goods and mentally damaged... forever.

I don't share the desire to connect sex with anything other than pleasure.   I find sex pleasurable.  I don't think that a crime that also includes sex should be multiple times more heinous.  I am very dubious about statutory rape.  I do not think a sexual activity damages a human for the rest of their life ( regardless of the age ).  I have this position because I do not conflate sex and violence.   They may occur at the same time..... but they are not the same thing.  Nor is sex a power game .... although they may occur together.

The laws dealing with child pornography have aspects that are totally, totally insane.  It is incredible that one can go to prison for many years for looking at an image .... or possessing an image.

======================

TEACHER'S PET: Lebanon (Va.) Middle School science teacher Connie Beth
Klewer, 37, was convicted on multiple counts after being caught sending
lewd text messages to a 14-year-old student. The steamy sexting affair
included sexually charged text messages and photos. At one time, she
also gave the boy alcoholic beverages. The jury recommended a sentence
of 32-1/2 years in prison, but the judge reduced it to 21 years. Her
lawyer, David L. Scyphers, pointed out that, had Klewer actually had
sex with the student, her sentence would not have been as long.
(MS/Bristol Herald Courier) ...Any accusations of judicial logic are
hereby disproved.

Note that a non-violent offender was given 32.5 years by a jury.... reduced to 21 years. Expensive, insanely punitive , vindictive ... I am sorry I was not on the jury. I would have voted for acquittal.  ( and I have been a juror on a trial for sex related charges.  It ended in a hung jury. )

USA has a great engine but a lousy set of drivers

America is exceptional because of many of the people who live and work in the USA. At the same time there a lot of leeches that are dragging their feet and slowing the economic jauggernaut that is America. And worst of all, there are a lot of hands on the wheel that should just let go. Completely incompetent pilots like Obama, Congress, Federal agencies, etc ......... These idiots have big plans .... plans that will drive the semi-truck that is America into walls, other nations, off the road and into the mud. They are are so stupid and having so much fun SOPM ( spending other people's money ) that I am sure they are having full-blown hallucinations. Obama is so unqualified to guide the USA. So was Bush1, Clinton , Bush2, etc........... The USA is way too complicated for anyone to manage it .... only those who think they are god even try. Those wanna-be super-star managers suffer from hubris and are essentially insane. ( doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result ) Oh yeah ..... I forgot Bernanke....

Jimmy Carter is full of the rapture of SOPM

In North Korea Jimmy Carter Slams South Korea, USA

Ex-US President Jimmy Carter has flayed the US and South Korea for withholding food aid to North Korea which he said amounted to violation of human rights, reports said on Thursday.

Briefing reporters in South Korean capital, Seoul, after wrapping up his three-day visit to Communist North, Carter said Pyongyang badly needed food imports.

"One of the most important human rights is to have food to eat, and for South Korea and the US and others to deliberately withhold food aid to the North Korean people is really a human rights violation," he said

The secretive state had encountered a severe famine in the nineties following the collapse of its economy and damage to crops. Since then, it has largely depended on outside help to tide over its food shortage.

As for the talks with North Korea's 'supreme' leader Kim Il Jong, Carter said although he did not meet Kim personally, the latter had sent word on Pyongyang's willingness to hold talks on any subject without pre-conditions. Most importantly, Kim had reportedly conveyed his readiness for meeting South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.

Carter was accompanied on his visit by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari,former Norwegian head of state Gro Brundtland and ex-Irish President Mary Robinson--members of the "Elders" group set up by South African leader Nelson Mandela in 2007 for fostering global efforts towards peace and humanity.

This is Carter's second visit to North Korea in less than a year. During his previous trip to the North in August, the octogenarian leader had managed to secure the release of American, Aijalon Gomes, 31, detained for illegally entering the country.

Carter though returned Thursday without Jun Young-su, an American national held in North Korea for allegedly carrying out missionary work there.

Meanwhile, the US State Department has termed Carter's trip as strictly private. South Korea's Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan too said he did not expect the visit to deliver a breakthrough.

==============================================================
North Korean leaders/assholes have put their country in a dumpster. The people inside that hell should fight to get out. China has done a lot to support the NK assholes. In the midst of all this brouha-ha .... it should be clear that taxpayers in the USA do NOT owe the North Koreans one thin dime. Jimmy Cater would like to spend other people's money ( SOPM ) which is always fun ( I love spending money ) ....... It is NOT ethical to SOPM even to try to fix a food disaster. I am sure that private organizations could very publicly offer food to NK if the assholes go.
