Cliffsides: Listening to Sean Hannity (so you don't have to) and he's saying that, almost a decade after George W. Bush first took... «
…I believe it’s called The Nile, as opposed to denial, which I assume is your reference.
Bush’s reaction to the 9/11 tragedy is what will cause history to judge him less harshly. I’m not a huge fan of many decisions he made, and he was not our most successful president by any…

A “Green” Proposal
As we all know the good ‘ole U.S.A. is in a bit of an economic rut. The housing market is in shambles,the job market isn’t doing a whole lot better, and our wonderful new president hasn’t been able to fix it all yet. Not only do we have our economic problems, but we have all come to realize that our wonderful country is single-handedly destroying the Earth! We have been informed that our pollutants are destroying the Earth’s climate. We as Americans are going to kill our future generation, and before now there was no fix because our silly ex-president didn’t “believe” in climate change. All that to say that I’m sure our brilliant liberal brethren in power will eventually get a hold of the situation, but the American public wants a quick fix, needs a quick fix to these problems. If given the time and attention, I would love to offer a solution to both these problems, with a green proposal.
To begin, I must bring to attention, the crux of my Green proposal. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and are killing our earth; Solar panels, wind energy, and hydraulic energy isn’t effective enough or widespread enough to support this entire country. What we need is a very common resource that is both renewable and in excess. This resource? Human body heat. Heat is energy being given off by a body, so why not use our own body heat to fuel our needs? Well, it would be rather useless to be supporting our fuel needs if none of us could actually use the things requiring energy. So how do we have both at the same time? It is a rather simple fix.
Whether we realize it or not, we as a people are wasting a precious resource and no-one has seemed to mention it. Whether you believe its “morally wrong” or not, the U.S. conducts over 800,000 legal induced abortions per year. Not only that, but there are 120,000+ adoptions every year as well. Thats around 1 million heat producing bodies being wasted each year. If we were to put all those bodies to good use, we could very easily take millions of cars off the road, and thats only if we took the babies who weren’t wanted at this point. If a program were created at would call for the use of humans for green energy, I could almost guarantee that many women who were forced to keep their children would release them for this cause, thus increasing our numbers.
Ok, so it will make America green, but what benefit does this have to the economy and how do we support these children? This economy is troubled and the easiest way to get the economy moving again is to create jobs. Its how FDR got us out of the Great Depression, and it will certainly work now. The government can do both of the following things, they can one: Expand the farming industry in the states. An entire branch of farming can be devoted to supporting just these 1,000,000-2,000,000. That is thousands of jobs created right there, and its all infants so there’s no need to make anything but one specific food. Option two: The government can offer money to people to get pregnant, and to give sperm. All those hurting badly in this economy can suffer through 9 months of pregnancy, be supported by the government, and not have to end up with the kid. The government needs avenues to spend its stimulus money, and i see no better option than this. Even still, more economic avenues lie within the need to support 2 million children: A massive complex capable of gathering heat would need to be created, giving plenty of job opportunites. A massive crew would be needed to maintain the buldings energy outputs. As well as many other job opportunities, all created out of a simple Green project.
Fine, so this will be helpful to the rest of us, but what will happen to these children as they grow? Well, these children in a completely isolated enviroment, except from one another, will probably not live all that long. Even when fed well, there is no way to care for these chidlren lovingly; however, that is a plus. A child that is raised without physical attention will most certainly die before the age of 3, the point at which they begin to comprehend their surroundings. The last thing we would want is to have reasoning children locked in a hot room with thousands of other children. So our problem is not really a problem at all. Under a constant watch, once a child dies, it can be removed and disposed of, while a new generation of babies will take it and its generations place. A cycle of around 3 years will keep the population low, and we will always have a constant flow of energy from this program.
Now that my green proposal is on the table, I can only hope it is adopted into being. The government has a place to put its stimulus money, thousands and thousands of jobs are created, greenhouse gas emissions are dropped dramatically, and our astounding liberal leaders will get enough credit to be elected for many years to come. All of these things can be rather simply achieved through a replacement of resources, resources we already have in abundance.
I thank you for spending the time to hear out my “green” proposal.
God Bless,
John Adams

Ping Pong
by Thomas Paine
Well, if you haven’t heard (and you should have), Congress has passed bills on health care reform.
This is not, however, the end of the road on this legislation. What happens next is that the bill is pushed back and forth between the houses to be edited, amended, approved, and argued over. Typically, these negotiations would be formal processes, taking place on the Senate and House floors and being debated publicly. However, last time the Democratic majority allowed this bill to be openly debated on the floor, the Republican minority threw considerable wrenches in the works, stalling passage of the legislation for as long as possible.
So what’s the solution? Perform all these talks informally. This would not only allow the Dems to block out the Republicans and any pesky Independents, but keep the American public out of the proceedings!
That’s right. Remember C-SPAN, the station that covers every move within the houses as deliberations occur? Apparently, the station is being blocked from covering health care debates! We American voters are obviously too stupid and too disinterested to need cameras on our legislators.
C-SPAN went (and rightfully so) up in arms on the issue, sending this letter to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell (the Speaker of the House, Majority Leader, and Minority Leaders, respectively) requesting access to the deliberations.
Let us hope that increasing media pressure and hopefully pressure from the public - their constituents - will force the Congress to broadcast on the debates and deliberations that will so strongly affect our futures.

The Census
by Thomas Paine
Let’s take a minute and talk about something that no one seems to care about: The US Census.
When asked about the census, most people will say something about counting the number of people in the United States, or something of the sort, and likely throw in something about how irritating the census takers are.
What we have gradually forgotten about Article I, Section 2, which”” reads: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers…”
Roughly translated, this means “We’ll take a census, and decide what states get the most representation and how much those states pay in tax money based on how many people live in them.”
This is a good idea. It means that representation is as evenly distributed as possible, right?
Sort of. Remember all those dead Illinois voters that mysteriously turned up to ratchet up the Democratic vote in Chicago? Remember that whole ACORN issue?
Well, the White House is set to take this particular problem to a grand scale.
You probably didn’t notice, as this bizarre turn of events was hardly covered in the early media storm, but three weeks into Obama’s presidency, he shifted control of the census from the Commerce Department to the White House. The census is now under the control of Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief political advisor.
So why does this matter? Because if the census goes the way of ACORN and Chicago, fair representation will be shot to pieces. “Estimations” of numbers of poor, homeless, and illegal residents of blue states would hike the number of votes for blue-leaning states up, effectively drowning the votes of the red states and maintaining the left’s current massive influence over legislation.
So it’s too bad no one cares about the census anymore. What can you do? Well, start by badgering your state legislature like crazy. Ask for appeals to the Supreme Court - it has the power of judicial review, the ability to decide if the actions of the other branches are Constitutional.
So what do you think? Will you stand up?
