Kennedy opposes alternative energy---more splits in the Democrats

From the Washington Post:

Mr. Kennedy, a staunch environmentalist, opposes the Cape Wind project, which will place windmills in the sound's shallows to create electricity for customers in Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Critics say the Massachusetts Democrat doesn't want the Cape Wind project in his own back yard along with 130 windmills that might clutter the water view of the Kennedy clan's vacation home. Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts' junior senator and another key green ally, called attempts to derail the project an "insult."

Mr. Young, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is lobbying members of a House-Senate conference on the Coast Guard supplemental appropriations bill.
He wants them to add his proposal to require windmills to be set back 1.5 nautical miles from any shipping or ferry lanes. Such a buffer requirement would make the Cape Wind project impossible in such a narrow sound.
"Given the potential dangers of siting one of these wind farms in a busy shipping area, [Mr. Kennedy] thinks it is worth the conferees' consideration," Miss Wagoner said.
However, developers of the Cape Wind project say the legislation is specifically directed at them, would cripple the project economically and is a classic case of the "not in my back yard" (NIMBY) attitude toward developments that serve the common good.
"The NIMBY opponents have spent more than $1 million lobbying in D.C.," says Mark Rodgers, Cape Wind project spokesman. "The Young amendment will kill Cape Wind in one fell swoop, which appears to be the intention.
"It would also impose on the U.S. the most stringent laws in the world on offshore wind energy development," said Mr. Rodgers, who noted that oil drilling rigs are only required to be 500 feet from shipping lanes.
Asked about Mr. Kennedy's opposition to the plan, Mr. Rodgers said, "To say you favor wind power, but not here, where you live in a very windy place, calls into question your real commitment to wind power."

And from the Boston Globe:

The maneuver to stop the wind farm is clearly a backroom deal, and they're going to get called publicly on it," said John Passacantando, executive director of Greenpeace USA. The Democrats are going to kill the first big offshore wind farm in the United States because of their relationship with Ted Kennedy."

The 130-turbine, 24-square-mile cluster of windmills would be about 8 miles from Kennedy's home in Hyannis Port, and he has long opposed it. The Coast Guard bill would give Governor Mitt Romney, another wind farm opponent, the power to veto it, even if the project clears all other hurdles.

Kennedy rejected suggestions that he doesn't like the wind farm because it would be near his Cape home, and said the project probably wouldn't be visible from the Kennedy compound. He said he's against the project because it would create a range of environmental and navigational problems and would hurt tourism, one of the area's key industries.

Haha, clearly this guy is an environmentalist. He actually cares about lowering energy prices for Americans and reducing our dependence on foreign oil, right? In this run up to the election, how can he afford to take this hit?

In this time were we absolutely MUST start taking alternative energy seriously, why are our politicians not doing so? I'm not just saying this because of high gasoline prices. Sure, that is a consideration. But, I think the bigger reason here is to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. In addition to that, some estimates say that we could run out of economically drillable oil in about 35-50 years. That means that if we don't start taking action now, by the time I retire, gas will probably cost upwards of 10 bucks a gallon. I just made up that figure, but it very possibly could be true.

There is so much potential in alternative energy, I just have no idea why we're not taking advantage of it. As more and more alternative energy sources come online, prices for just keep getting cheaper and cheaper. Wind power and solar power cost nowhere near as much as they used to do to increased production and technological advances. So, why are we not tapping these resources?

Seems to be the classic NIMBY case.

Personally, I think wind farms are freakin cool to look at:


Tony over at Bush the Idiot (ok, I don't like the name, but it's fun arguing with him....and occasionaly he's right), who likes Kennedy actually called him out on this one. Way to go Tony!

This story can also be seen over at GOP and College and Right From Left.

Interesting Exchange

From Michelle Malkin an intresting exchange between Scott McClellan and Washington Post reporter Jim VandeHei:

Q [WaPo reporter Jim VandeHei] It's come to my attention that there's been requests -- this is a serious question -- to turn these TVs onto a station other than Fox, and that those have been denied. My question would be, is there a White House policy that all government TVs have to be tuned to Fox?
MR. McCLELLAN: Never heard of any such thing. My TVs are on four
different channels at all times.

Q Because you have four different TVs. But every time I've ever been --

MR. McCLELLAN: Every TV in the White House also has channels every --
has a split screen, where they can --

Q VandeHei Well, they always seem to be tuned to Fox, and there's been requests, and these are paid for by taxpayer dollars. And my understanding is that you guys have to watch Fox on Air Force One. Is that true?

MR. McCLELLAN: First time I've ever heard of it. First time you've
brought it to my attention, meaning the first time the press corps has
brought it to my attention. In fact, I've watched other channels on here.

Q VandeHei There's one --

MR. McCLELLAN: Hang on, Jim, come on. I've watched other channels on
here, so I don't know where you're hearing that. But it's the first time
anyone in the press has raised that question with me.

Q VandeHei You've watched other channels other than Fox?

MR. McCLELLAN: On here, yes, sure.

Q VandeHei I've never seen -- they're always turned to Fox, which a lot of people consider a Republican-leaning network.

Q VandeHei Scott, is it one -- on the airplane, is it one for all? I mean, if
it's tuned for Fox here, is it Fox everywhere?

MR. McCLELLAN: I think that certain areas may be interconnected, but
I'll have to double-check which.

Q VandeHei Is yours off, wherever you are?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, the conference room, or the senior staff office,
the staff office, they're different TVs, and you can switch to different
channels. I'm not sure if some of these in the back are connected to
some of the others that are watching right here, right now. It doesn't
look like it to me. I've never known anyone that's raised a complaint
about a request from back here to watch a different channel.

Q VandeHei I'm officially raising it and officially complaining about it.

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I'm going to go see if we can change the channel
for you. Have you called up?

Q [Agence France Presse photographer Tim Sloan] I was the Fox victim, and I was told -- the quote was, "No," when I
asked for CNN.

MR. McCLELLAN: I don't know who you talked to, so -- it didn't come to
my attention. You don't know who you talked to either?

Q Well, the magic people at the other end off the phone.

MR. McCLELLAN: The magic people at the other end of the phone. Well,
I'll see if this cabin is --

Q I was told, "We don't watch CNN here, you can only watch Fox."

MR. McCLELLAN: As I said, it's hard to respond to something when I don't
know who it is you talked to.

Q I used the phone back here.

MR. McCLELLAN: I find this all quite amusing, to tell you the truth. I
mean, there are a lot of people on this plane that do watch that channel.

Q I've never been told, no. They're such nice guys up there.

MR. McCLELLAN: First time you brought it to my attention. I'll go see
what we can do on it.

* * * * *

MR. McCLELLAN: We just called up. They're going to be changing it, at
your all's request, to the channel that you requested, which is CNN --
from the press corps.

Q Thanks, Scott.

Cry me a freakin river. Even if this is the case, what business is it of theirs? They are free to chose which channels they would like to watch, are they not?

And don't give me the line "but, but, our tax dollars are paying their sallaries and paying for those TV's and the cable." My response to that? How about when I walk in a damn airport or anywhere here on Mizzou's beautiful campus and see CNN EVERYTIME!! Are these not publicly funded places?

Four bucks a gallon? Oh my!

Analysts expect us to be paying $3 a gallon this summer, and $4 next summer. Four freaking dollars for a damn gallon of gas. Absolutely ridiculous. How in the hell am I supposed to afford this?

When watching O'reilly tonight, I heard some interesting facts. Gas supplies are at an 8 year high. Yet, gas prices have doubled since 2004. In just two years! DOUBLED. How is this not price gouging? Obviously it doesn't have much to do with supply and demand.

So, how do they get away with this? Excuse after excuse. After Katrina, I could maybe understand a little bit. But then it was the "civil war" in Iraq. Now its apparently Iran and summer. Or just an overall "unsettlement" in the middle east. Bottom line, there will never be a lack of excuses. There will always be something going on in the world that can be a "reason" for higher gas prices. This will never change.

In addition, Exxon-Mobile gave a retiring CEO or some other big wig a $400 million retirement plan. I'm sorry, but no one is worth that. Especially when that money is coming from overpriced gas.

Just like O'Reilly, unless I'm desperate, I will never again buy a drop of Exxon-Mobile oil, and I encourage others to do the same.

The Iran situation

How should we deal with Iran? Tough question to say the least.

Iran announced over the weekend that if they are attacked by the US they will unleash battalions of suicide bombers to attack the US and US interests. They put the number at 40,000 that have been trained and are ready to attack.

The question is, can we take them seriously?

From fox news:
Dr. Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said in a speech that 29 Western targets had been identified: “We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.” He added that some of them were “quite close” to the Iranian border in Iraq.

Meanwhile, the stupid Brits have announced that they will play no part in a military strike. What an idiotic move. I'm definitely not advocating a strike or invasion, but even if they don't want to its just plain stupid to announce that. They've effectively taken that bargaining chip off the table. Morons.

So, where do we go from here. I tell ya what, I think Iran's got us almost in checkmate. An invasion at this point is almost certainly out of the question. Military strikes probably wouldn't do too much good except slow down the process some. So that leaves sanctions, which the UN seems to be doing an effective job at dragging their feet. All this is going to combine to give either a US led strike on Iran, or Iran getting the bomb a few years down the line. What's the civilized world going to do about all this? Who knows, but probably not enough.

Now, where's Bush's role in all of this? He was criticized all over the news shows this weekend for leaving too much of this up to the Europeans. So, let me get this right, he was criticized in the run up to Iraq for not getting enough input from Europe, but now when he tries to fix that, he just gets more criticism. He just can't win...now you know why his pole numbers are in the shitter.

Meredith Vieira fires back

Set to become the co host of NBC's "Today," Meredith is firing back at her critics who claim she is a radical liberal. Perhaps they were making those statements because she is?

She marched in an anti-war rally back in august of 2004.

Earlier that year, she proclaimed, "Everything's been built on lies. Everything! I mean the entire pretext for war."

With war impending in March of 2003, Vieira argued that anti-war protests "should be consistent and repeated every day, I believe."

Here's her statement on the matter: "I'm an independent. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I'm not particularly interested in politics, truth be told. Every time you read the paper, somebody lies about something [about the war.] I've been vocal about it."

Haha, give me a break.

I thought reporters and anchors were supposed to be unbiased? Taking part in an anti-war rally, then bragging about it? That's just absolutely ridiculous.

My girlfriend is the producer of a morning news show that covers something like 20 counties here in central Missouri. She's not even on air, but she's not allowed to do things such as go to protests or even sign a petition. Yet, the woman who is prepared to take over the Today show does? Doesn't make much sense to me!

Tom Cruise has adult sized pacifier made for Holmes

As I have stated previously, Tom Cruise is a quack. Being a scientologist, he doesn't believe in the woman making any noise during childbirth.

In order to prevent this from happening, he had an adult sized pacifier made for Katie Holmes.

"He commissioned an adult-sized 'binky' for her to clench between her teeth, hoping that it'll squelch her screams," a source tells the mag. "In keeping with a Scientology silent birth, Tom is prepared to do whatever it takes to muffle Katie's moans and groans during the delivery."

While in Germany, Cruise said "Katie could be having our baby at any minute." Um, don't you think that means you shouldn't be over in Germany promoting your movies?

So let me get this right: You're not going to allow your soon to be wife to make any noise during childbirth, presumably not let her have any drugs, and you're a thousand miles away promoting your movies? Can this guy be serious?

Economy Adds 211,000 Jobs in March; Unemployment Rate at 4 1/2 Year Low

The post title says it all here.

Apparently an "accelerating economic expansion is putting companies in the hiring mood, brightening prospects for job seekers." Well, that's good news, right? Not only that, but the jobs were spread out over virtually all sectors of the economy.

Bush said, "Some are now proposing that we raise taxes either by repealing the tax cuts or letting them expire," he said. "These are the same politicians who told us that letting the American people keep more of their own money would be reckless and irresponsible. They were wrong then and they are wrong now."

But, hey, the economy's still in the dump, right?

Does anyone here think Bush's approval ratings will go up because of this? I certainly don't. He gets absolutely no credit for anything good, and takes all the hits for anything bad.

MSM has fun with headlines

Ever since the story broke yesterday about Bush apparently giving the OK on the release of information pertaining to Iraqi weapons, the MSM has been all over it. That's fine and all, but their coverage of it is just terrible.

First, as the title of this post states, they like to have fun with headlines. Example, on the homepages of both CNN and Fox News, I've seen headlines saying "Bush OK'd leak." This is incredibly misleading, because most people know this story only for the fact that Plame's identity was revealed. So, just by looking at the headline, most people would assume that it says that Bush the ok'd Plame leak. Only when you click on the story does the full story come out "Bush authorized leaks ABOUT IRAQ."

Secondly, while watching Good Morning America this morning, the host was talking with their lead white house correspondent about this Bush leak story. Their entire coverage was obviously one sided and biased. The anchor asked the correspondent if this leak gave any risk to national security. He responded that he didn't think it did, but he's sure many people will be going back through that report to check. Seems reasonable, right?

A question or two later, the host referred to the "fact" that Bush's leak did in fact put the security of the nation at risk. Are you kidding me? How ridiculous.

Other coverage of note:
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams said "There is an allegation tonight that President Bush authorized the leak of government information -- sensitive, classified information about Iraq -- in order to get back at a critic of his administration and the build-up to war." Referring to Libby's charge, Williams asserted: "If what he is saying is true, it would mean he was used, in effect, by the President and Vice President to leak secrets. It is a story of much intrigue, big names, and potentially very high stakes."

Come on, that's absolutely ridiculous, full of deception and lies.

And this one is for Tony over at BTI who calls Hardball "Republican Softball."
From newsbusters:

That didn't take long! Back in the MSM's Watergate heyday, it took a while for a steady drumbeat of revelations, stories and allegations to gather sufficient momentum. The pace has apparently quickened in the modern liberal-media world. On this morning's Today show, speaking of the allegation that President Bush authorized the disclosure of information by Scooter Libby, Matt Lauer asked Chris Matthews: "scale of 1 to 10, [where] 10 is a deal-ender, where does this fall?"

Matthews didn't hesitate: "heading to 10."

Even Lauer seemed taken aback: "Really, that big?"

For good measure, Matthews later analogized VP Cheney to Henry II having put out a hit leading to the murder of a dissenter in his administration.

McKinney apologizes while grand jury meets

In an attempt to save her ass, McKinney apologized this morning on the floor of the House.

"There should not have been any physical contact. I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all, and I regret this escalation, and I apologize," she stated.

A misunderstanding? Umm, no, sorry. You refused to stop after being asked to do so three times. You then hit a police officer, there's no misunderstanding that.

Three points here. First, she did not apologize to the police officer she hit. Secondly, it took over a week to even get to this point. Third, she did not apologize for escalating the situation by crying racism.

She could have taken the high road by saying "ya know, I was mad, and I was wrong. And for that I am truly sorry both to the Congress which I have disgraced and to the police officer I hit." That's something that I and I think most Americans could have understood. We all get mad. Did she do that? No. Instead, she's made excuses and called the officer racist.

While that was taking place, a federal grand jury was meeting to hear both sides of the story.

"I'm troubled by all the economics going into this, and the U.S. Attorney's office here has a lot of other crimes to look at. ... But on the other hand, the member's not acknowledging at all that what she did was incorrect and now she's putting up the smoke and mirrors that we're racist and it was done because she's black. That's wrong." That's from former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terrence Gainer, whose last day on the job was Wednesday. He believes prosecutors should bring a case against McKinney.

Apparently, not only is this racism, but McKinney says "that [this is] much ado about a hairdo," McKinney told FOX News on Wednesday. She also has claimed that her being stopped is due to racial profiling.

So, wait, is it racism or because you changed your hairdo?

Some charge that she blames everything on racism. "She has a long history of racism," DeLay, R-Texas, told FOX News. "Everything is racism with her. This is incredible arrogance that sometimes hits these members of Congress, but especially Cynthia McKinney."

Just as I was wrapping up this post, I saw this on the news. Details are sketchy, but here's what we know right now:

As McKinney was entering the building to give her apology statement this morning, a reporter got in an argument/shoving match with someone. McKinney's personal security guard reportedly said he would "throw the reporters ass in jail." Doesn't seem so bad, right? McKinney hasn't don't anything else wrong, right? Ohhhh, wait. You cannot use private security on capital hill. So now we have another investigation for Cynthia McKinney. Strike two for Cynthia.

Compromise on Immigration Deal Reached

Well, this morning, in a bipartisan news conference, a compromise was announced on the immigration issue. It is reportedly already supported by a majority of Republicans and many key democrats. President Bush also is thought to be on board. While this sounds like great news, it is only the Senate version of the Bill. Compromise will still have to be made with the House Bill.

Here's what the compromise entails:

— Illegals in the United States less than two years would be required to leave immediately. If caught once, they would be subject to a misdemeanor, and if caught twice they would be charged with a felony. About 2 million to 3 million people fall into this category.

— Illegals in the United States between two and five years would have go to one of 16 ports of entry in the United States, determined by the U.S. Visit program, and declare themselves. They would be given a temporary visa and allowed back to their U.S. residences immediately. Once in the United States, they could apply for the citizenship path spelled out in the McCain-Kennedy bill. About 3 million to 4 million people fall into this category.

— Illegals who could prove they have been in the United States for more than five years would immediately be given guest worker status and would get on the 11-year path to citizenship. They would not have to declare themselves as guest workers. This path would be open to about 5 million illegals living in the United States.

From my initial analysis, I think this is a great compromise, and one that most people can agree on.

When I heard of this compromise, I couldn't help but think that this is how government should work.

Moussaoui laughed as Giuliani wept

Rudy Giuliani gave testimony today in the Moussaoui trial. He recounted his emotions, feelings, and actions on that devastating day. We of course did not get to see it, but I can imagine it was quite stirring testimony.

As they were showing video of 9/11, Zacarias Moussaoui laughed. He laughed at the sight of people jumping from buildings, of the devastation and horror of that day. It just sickens me to think about it.

After that, I'm not sure he has any chance, or even desire, to avoid the death penalty.

McKinney cries racism

In case you haven't heard, Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), 51, scuffled with a police officer on March 29 when she entered a House office building without her identifying lapel pin and did not stop when asked. Several police sources said the officer, who was not identified, asked her three times to stop. When she kept going, he placed a hand somewhere on her and she hit him, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Her supporters called the incident "political" and not "criminal." I'm sorry, but when you hit a police officer who is just trying to do his job, it certainly is criminal. When she entered the building without her lapel pin and without stopping after being asked to do so three times, she was a security threat. I don't care if she thinks the police officer should have recognized her. That's not his job. His job is to make sure no one that enters that building that shouldn't be there and no one gets through without the officer being sure they are a member of congress or getting searched. It's just that simple.

My question is, why in the hell was she not arrested? Liberals cried foul constantly when Cheney was not arrested (for an accident by the way). Yet, this woman who hits a police officer is not arrested? Why is she being held to a different standard? It doesn't matter if a police officer lays a hand on me, I still cannot hit him/her. And if I did, I would be sitting in jail for a good long time. Why should she be any different?

"Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers," McKinney says.

I just love how immediately she makes this situation all about race. This security guard is responsible for the lives of each and every person in that building. If someone is entering who has not shown the proper credentials or passed through the metal detector, it is his job to pursue the situation. From the reports, this is exactly what happened. She got mad because she was late for a meeting, and hit a police officer.

Speaking of fair treatment, that brings up another point. This whole incident never would have happened if congress(wo)men had to go through metal detectors just like everyone else. The people in charge of protecting the American public can't take a minute to go through a metal detector which is designed to keep them safe and our halls of Congress running? Doesn't make much sense to me.

24 Wisconsin communities vote for Iraq withdrawl

24 of 32 Wisconsin communities approved refurendums calling for the pullout of US forces from Iraq.

This of course is absolutely meaningless and was purely a symbolic gesture.

Most of the referendums asked if the voters supported withdrawing the troops immediately, and Evansville also had one urging support of President Bush, which voters rejected.

Measures such as this have been done in other states, which apparently served as the model for Wisconsin.

"They have seven months to listen to us, to the voters and to do the right thing," she said. "The people have spoken. This is what democracy looks like."

"The morale of soldiers _ and their safety _ could dip when they hear about such referendums passing", said Bill Richardson, treasurer of Vote No To Cut And Run, a group that opposed the measures. "It's a political statement and it's hurting people and it could cost lives," said Richardson, 63, a one-time bandmaster in the Wisconsin Army National Guard.

Supporters shouldn't be too pleased with the results, said John McAdams, an associate professor of political science at Marquette University. Victory margins in many of the liberal-leaning cities were lower than rates won by Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004, meaning swing voters haven't been swayed by anti-war sentiment, he said.

I guess we'll see in six months.

More Protests in Paris

I'm currently watching some of the protests in Paris. All I'm seeing just reminds me how happy I am to live in this country. It's absolutely sickening what they're showing. A few minutes ago they cut to a scene where a guy was laying down on the ground, appearing to be unconscious. A man came over and kicked this defenseless man square in the head. A large group of people gathered around the fallen man. After about 20 seconds, this group started fighting.

In addition to that, they also showed video of a group of people throwing rocks and things at photographers. Several times they even ran up to them in an attempt at hitting them. What sense does this make? The photographers seemed to be doing nothing wrong.

They were also reporting that mobs of people were walking around stealing cell phones, wallets, etc. I guess they knew this because reporters and photographers were common targets.

Every live video seems to show people beating each other up, seemingly for no reason. This doesn't even include their main target, the police.

It just disgusts me. What a show of how despicable humankind can be.

And people here in our own country still complain about how awful the economy is. Let me tell ya, our recent recession was nothing compared to what's going on in France. The unemployment for younger people over there is over 20%!! Just remember, as much as Bush haters complain about our economy (which is actually rather strong right now and has been for a couple years), we still have it pretty damn good. This is why I'm proud to be an American.

Wind energy prices pass key milestone

There is one really good thing about rising gas prices....people are finally realizing that alternative and renewable energy sources are the way to go. While I'm definitely not some crazy environmentalist, I would like to see more money put into renewable energy such as wind, wave, biofuels, etc.

Wind energy demand has apparently been booming since prices for this renewable energy source recently became cheaper than natural gas. Certainly natural gas is not the cheapest source of energy, but this is a milestone none the less.

"In Colorado, Xcel Energy is the state’s largest electricity supplier. Xcel’s 33,000 Windsource customers, who until late 2005 were paying $6 more each month for their electricity, are now paying slightly less than those using conventional electricity, which comes mostly from natural gas and coal. To meet fast-growing demand, Xcel is currently soliciting proposals from wind developers for up to 775 megawatts of new wind power generation, enough to supply 232,000 Colorado homes with electricity."

Here's another novel idea, ranchers leasing land to power companies to make some additional profit: "With a large, advanced-design wind turbine generating easily $100,000 worth of electricity per year, even a 3-percent royalty would earn ranchers $3,000 a year from leasing a quarter-acre of ranchland. And they can still run cattle on the land. If the proposed project is approved as expected, these 30 or so ranchers will have an average of seven turbines each, yielding roughly $21,000 a year in additional income. A decade from now, there may be thousands of ranchers who will be earning more selling electricity than they do selling cattle."



Just as a side note, about a year ago, I saw one of the blades to a wind generator on the back of a truck driving down I-70. They are HUGE!
