North Carolina Denies Payments To Black Forced Sterilization Women

http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/06/20/2149134/house-and-senate-leaders-present.html

Um, I have mixed feelings on this.  How many recipients are still around?  They don't mention how many living women they screwed over.  Shoddy reporting by http://www.newsobserver.com

If it's a handful of women, a deal could be easily worked out.  And be affordable.  Make an effort people.

The south is afraid the north might make some money.. Turkey is more than ready to take the oil directly.  A big boondogle for Exxon, easy money.

Tea Party Caucus Hipocracy

After all that bitching about abusing Congressional mail services, the Tea Party peeps are doing the EXACT SAME THING (to excess).  If the Tea Party wants to accomplish something, cut spending in the Appropriations Bills.  They are where the money is really spent, not at all based on the President's Budget. Or any other.

Carbon Sequestration Will Cause Earthquakes

Oh shocker...pump a gas underground under pressure and it causes problems?  Amazing...

http://www.latimes.com/news/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-carbon-storage-may-cause-earthquakes-20120618,0,5073255.story

The reason carbon sequestration is a really BAD IDEA, is that this carbon will eventually find it's way out.  We would be dooming some future inhabitants to an atmospheric butt fuck.  A bad idea no matter who populates Earth...

Glad We Fought That War In Iraq

So the oil could go to China (who didn’t fight at all in the war).

Are we just moving to China or something? We have given them everything, our jobs, the oil..
