Another amendment gone?
Author: Raine    Date: 12/20/2007 13:33:58

The Feds blocked California's Emmisions law.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday slapped down California’s bid for first-in-the-nation greenhouse gas limits on cars, trucks and SUVs, refusing the state a waiver that would have allowed those restrictions to take effect.

“The Bush administration is moving forward with a clear national solution — not a confusing patchwork of state rules,” EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson told reporters on a conference call. “I believe this is a better approach than if individual states were to act alone.”
Another example of the Bush administration not reading documents. The Tenth Amendment clearly states :
Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Another amendment trampled upon. More rights taken away from states, more power from the people who actually voted for this rule. In the mean time, this administration is doing little to nothing about the Global Climate crisis.

The message here to Californians is clear... bend to the will of the federal government. It is really pathetic, because the federal governement only wants to protect corporate interests, not the environment, which is the EPA's JOB! :grumble:

What I look forward to is a day when we have a president who actually knows that EPA means "Environmental Protection Agency". I look forward to a day when we have an administration that actually cares more about individual Americans than the oil industry, the auto industry, the private contractors, lobbyists money and every other kind of special corporate interest out there.

As you know, we have put up ads for the candidates that we at Four Freedoms Blog most like. Take a look around, and see if you feel that thing when you think about your candidate. Is it more of what we have with this administration? Is the person a good person?.. Do you trust them to be your leader? These are important things... but most of all, does your candidate respect and protect the constitution of the United States of America?

In other news....Flu plagued Rudy spends night in the Hospital.. The last time I recall Rudy spending some time in the hospital was when he tanked in the polls running for the Senate against Hillary in NY. A few days later, he announced he had for prostate cancer and dropped out of the race. I wonder if this is a pattern of his when his polls nosdive.

So that is it for now, see you inside where all the complimentary beverages are. Let's get thru the day with some laughs and smiles... With only 2 weeks until the Iowa caucus, it's sure to be interesting.

:peace: and :heart:
Raine

Morning!

Oh poor Rudy. Yes, this does sound suspiciously like FEAR. Uh Oh, big drop in polls? Run, run, run.........away and hide under the covers!! I have always called "Fear": Fuck Everything And Run!



Maybe he'll comeback and try to get the "poor me" vote.

Comment by TriSec on 12/20/2007 13:55:10
Good Morning.



The management of 4F now presents "TriSec's Morning Snark", an ocassional series penned by one of our co-founders...



OK, so it's snowing in New England again. Big freakin' deal. It's the light kind...big, fat, snowflakes that look pretty but don't do much. Why, oh why was the City of Waltham out at 4 am plowing sparks then?



On the way to the mines this morning, I got stuck behind a "timidiot" who was afraid that his precious little truck was going to spin out and end up in a snowbank. Trouble was, it was a frickin' 18-wheeler driving through a residential neighborhood on top of that. Come on, my Subaru wasn't having any trouble, surely your truck that weighs 20 times what I do wasn't having traction issues?



Oh, and this thing about Rudy spending a night in the hospital for "flu-like symptoms". What kind of flaccid, pantywaiste, liberal, bedwetter does that? He wants to be leader of the free world and defeat terrorism, but he can't take on a virus in a fair fight? Jeez, the last time I had "flu-like sympoms" I took a pill and went to work. You don't see me running for president, do you?



BTW, it must be nice having the kind of insurance that lets you do that...I'm in the business and I still have to fight with my PCP to get a damn office visit, fershite's sake.







This ends today's presentation of "TriSec's Morning Snark". Stay tuned for the next edition, which will be posted at about the same time hell freezes over. (Hey, it already happened twice in October of 2004 and 2007...)

Good morning all! Nice snarks... both Tri and Ms. Jones! tis true... Good thing Fooliani actually HAS insurance to get sick...

The show is truly in a ditch. 10 minutes in... :P

Comment by Raine on 12/20/2007 14:20:29
Oh this tape issue is getting better and better!

Comment by livingonli on 12/20/2007 14:21:56
Good morning all.



The show has definitely gone in the ditch. Rush is sure the romantic, someone has to ask Daryn Kagan what he was like.



As for Rudy, I was just thinking the same thing, he got "cancer" in 2000 when his poll numbers were tanking (that's when all the affair stories were first popping out) and now he may do the same again since he is no longer the GOP front runner. Another sign of what a thin-skinned hypocritical piece of shit he is.

Comment by velveeta jones on 12/20/2007 14:26:48
Great snark Tri!! And a really good point about those of us that don't have insurance, when I get "flu-like" symptoms I take a pill and drink more coffee to stay awake. Hell, I once walked around all day with a bum gallbaldder but didn't leave my desk at work. Didn't go to the hospital to have it removed until 11:00 that night!



Freakin' wimp!

Comment by Raine on 12/20/2007 14:26:51
I sense a certain level of rage from teh callers this morning... :P

Comment by livingonli on 12/20/2007 14:28:07
If a pundit gets all the predictions wrong, that person should be removed from the media and replaced by someone more credible.

Comment by Raine on 12/20/2007 14:30:05
Hey liv, when he had the cancer... did you buy that story? Personally I thought his three days to recuperate was a bit sketchy to me. I still question if he had cancer at all, to tell you the truth.

Comment by Raine on 12/20/2007 14:31:35
*ding* he is heading back to NYC they said. Rudy: whimpy whimpy whimpy

Since he never "relapsed", it certainly seemed like his "cancer" in 2000 was just an excuse to bow out of a race he was going to lose. Interesting how he was touted as the one to beat Hillary in the 2000 Senate Race and was again touting himself as the one to take on Hillary but now that his poll numbers are tanking with yet more scandal revelations he suddenlty becomes ill.



By the way, Bill-O, Liar, Liar, your pants are on fire.

Poor Bay... Poor tom. (yesterday Tom tancredo said that he was in the race all the way baby!) :rofl:

Comment by starling310 on 12/20/2007 14:39:56
can you guys keep it down this morning? I am experiencing "flu like" symptoms.





Comment by livingonli on 12/20/2007 14:40:01
I guess Tom Tancredo can go back to chasing immigrants with a pitchfork.

On mAnn Coulter's latest book. Can even the right-wing birdbrains keep buying what is essentially the same screed as mAnn's previous books?

Comment by Raine on 12/20/2007 14:46:29
Someone needs to inform the SMNewscast™ about these Rudy issues... (I think that is still mad at me for last week, so I am a'scared to call the big shoe.)

you need to go to a hospital for the night... and then run home, off the campaign trail.

It seems like each successive press spokesliar gets in further over their heads. While Tony Snow and Ari Fleischman were masters of handing out bullshit, it seems like Dana is having the same difficulty that Puffy McMoonface had.

Holy crap... he ust said that he appreciates a "Downpayment" on the war funding request. :bad:

Comment by starling310 on 12/20/2007 15:06:59
I am of the opinion that the if the Boy Wonder Preznit wants to declare that we are in a "War," he should not be "going on vacation 5 days before Christmas. He should have Christmas dinner with his family. That's it. If he wants to say that we are "in a war" then he should damn well act like it.

Then maybe he should count the war as part of the budget.
