I’ll be at the 3pm demonstration at the White House today with Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben and others, and I hope to be livestreaming the event. Cross your fingers they’re not vindictively arrested by the Park Police on behalf of a thin-skinned government.

Pipeline Route
Notice the pipeline terminates at the tropical storm-plagued Gulf of Mexico apparently at “one of the United States’ busiest seaports,” the Port of Houston?

Thank you Jane Hamsher, You have the energy, it is your turn to lead us sixties old people (not really old).
There is another pipe being spread to the west from Wyo to Oregon’s coast, the end has not be divulged yet, but why would they ship gas from the intermountains to the Oregon Coast? Oh I get it, they are going to ship it to Canada and Mexico like they need bookoo amounts of a raw resource that they have in abundance. To Hawaii, yeah Hawaiians use gas for air conditioners, news to me. To wherest do they want that gas to go, to headquarters?
You see, I am completely, not willfully, stupid. I mean these pseudo capitalists do things and do not need me to know nothing. Everybody agrees, so I end up asking stupid questions, they are smart questions to me, but stupid to the pseudoes. How smart of them to leave me stupid. It works. No requirement for them to inform me of these things, I was not born rich.
Hahaha.
Solidarity with you Jane. We are gaining on them thanks to people like you who walk the walk.

Great Woody Guthrie song. We need Woody and his spirit more than ever today.
Thank you so much, Jane and Firedogs/pups/baggers. This is not change I can believe in.
Woody was never shy in calling it what it is. I agree we need more of that. He never accepted that hill billies needed to stay in their place. — Nor do we “professional liberals’ need to.
I hate to say it but I think Obama was just giving you Tar Sands protesters the finger with his latest EPA shit. So give it right back to him. Go go go.
That’s my friend Cinda, in the lower right corner, arrested on the 29th, I think she said. I hope you meet her, Jane.
What is wrong with the man? He is going to be reviled for generations.
I think Frank Rich’s article in this month’s New York magazine is one of the best. He is an elite — the best and brightest — but with absolutely no capacity for relating or understanding ordinary more or less emotionally healthy people.
ie he doesn’t have a clue.
I finally think he’s lost it. He reminded me of a deer caught in a jacklight on the day he was given the White House. Then again when Scott Brown took the seat that his most respected supporter gave up to brain cancer. This latest little F.U. over the jobs-speech schedule is the 3rd time. You know what happens with 3 strikes in the jacklight, right?
Solutions are available to mend Americas problems but there is no one willing to take the tasks on. So the oligarchy will continue to loot.
thank you very much.
Wall Street has already been giving us the finger with the invisible hand. BHO is piling on at this point.
Jane,
This is OT, but on a subject we have co-operated on before. Here is the killer app for the “It’s the Constitution, stupid” TEAs. Work it.
I never noticed a Prohibition Amendment. Except for Alcohol.
