We only have this one planet in the entire known universe to live on and humans have done an outstanding job of raping it for its resources, polluting land air and water to the point where there are places that aren't fit for habitation and global climate has been effected. We are on the cusp of wars for drinking water and already involved in wars for the last of the planets oil. We are in no position as a species that wants to survive for a return to the "old days" of having large families, throwing away recyclable materials, letting industry dump toxins into our water supply etc etc... 6 billion + people on 1 planet The sheer number, fucking 14! of kids she squeezed out make her an attention and pity whore even w/o the media. These kids will need a doctor, they'll have to go to school... its not like she's going to keep herself or her family in total isolation. Big numbered multiple births always bring in the sponsors, I imagine she'll be given all kinds of free shit. As far as the babies go, conception wasn't natural. She wasn't blessed with 8 she paid for it. Yes their health is more frail then one born at a normal birth weight. 2 fucking pounds is not normal or healthy. Being fed by iv cuz you can't eat isn't healthy. WTF kinda way is that to start life? Like I said, wrong on so many levels.

*Homer Simpson whisper* pssst we already knew that its why we live here X'D

Thats the fucking problem! She has doomed 8 individuals to a life of less quality because of health problems and pulling stunts like this shit literally rob the rest of us humans of the resources we need to do things like survive because of HER SELFISH BELIEFS. Its wrong on so many levels. As a species we are no longer in a position to allow population to continuously explode like this fucking mess. WTF is a bitch with 6 mutherfuckin kids doing going back for more to begin with?! Selfish bitch. Asshole. Attention and pity whore. People like this piece of shit need to drop dead.

We're into our second week of President Obama's new administration and are already seeing signs of change. Yet many activists want to make sure we as a nation don't forget the possible crimes committed under the last administration in the name of the "war on terror." That's why we're sharing with you this action alert from our friends at Democrats.com. Sign their petition to call on our new Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute any and all government officials who have participated in torture and other war crimes: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AE2M0/YR4X/ANR12 ---------------------------------------------- Now is our time to pursue truth and justice. Please join us in calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute any and all government officials who have participated in torture and other war crimes. In the final days of their administration, President Bush and Vice President Cheney admitted they authorized "enhanced interrogation" of prisoners, specifically including waterboarding. But "enhanced interrogation" is simply a euphemism for torture, which was so severe that it caused the deaths of at least 70 prisoners. Please sign our petition calling for a Special Prosecutor now: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AE2M0/YR4X/ANR12 As Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison has stated: "After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts and reports from human rights organizations, there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account." The United States is a representative democracy. The actions of our government officials are done in the name of its citizens. We are outraged that torture been committed in our name. Join us in urging Attorney General Holder to appoint a Special Prosecutor to prosecute those responsible for torture to the fullest extent of the law: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AE2M0/YR4X/ANR12 Thanks for everything you do.

President calls the $18.4 billion in bonuses paid last year 'shameful' President Barack Obama issued a withering critique Thursday of Wall Street corporate behavior, calling it "the height of irresponsibility" for Wall Street employees to be paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last year while their financial sector was crumbling. "It is shameful," Obama said from the Oval Office. "And part of what we're going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility." The president's comments, made with new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner at his side, came in swift response to a report that employees of the New York financial world garnered an estimated $18.4 billion in bonuses last year. The figure, from the New York state comptroller, drew prominent news coverage. Yet Obama's stand also came just one day after he surrounded himself with well-paid chief executives at the White House. He had pulled in those business leaders and hailed them for being on the "front lines in seeing the enormous problems in our economy right now." The president said the public dislikes the idea of helping the financial sector, only to see the hole get bigger because of lavish spending. The comptroller's report found that Wall Street employees got paid about the same amount of bonuses as they did in the boom time of 2004. Obama said he and Geithner will speak directly to Wall Street leaders about the bonuses, which threaten to undermine public support for more government intervention. The House just approved an economic stimulus plan that would cost taxpayers more than $800 billion; the Senate is considering its own version. Separately, Congress also passed a $700 billion plan last year to shore up the financial sector. "We're going to be having conversations as this process moves forward directly with these folks on Wall Street to underscore that they have to start acting in a more responsible fashion if we are to, together, get this economy rolling again," Obama said. "There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses," Obama said. "Now is not that time." Obama's scathing rebuke of Wall Street came as he was trying to push through Congress an economic recovery plan he says will "save or create more than 3 million new jobs over the next few years." Earlier Thursday, the Labor Department reported that almost 4.8 million Americans, an all-time high, were receiving unemployment benefits. That number is likely to grow as a slew of major U.S. companies have announced mass layoffs this month. Companies have announced about 130,000 layoffs in January, according to an Associated Press tally. The U.S. has been mired in a recession since December 2007. It is on track to be the longest downturn since World War II. Obama's economic stimulus legislation is headed for the Senate after a surprisingly partisan vote in the House in which Republicans united in opposition and 11 mostly conservative Democrats defected. During Senate debate next week, the measure is expected to pick up at least some GOP support. The $819 billion measure has attracted criticism from Republicans and, privately, from some Democrats for spending billions on Democratic favorites like education despite questions as to whether these expenditures would actually create new jobs. But with unemployment at its highest level in a quarter-century, the banking industry wobbling despite the infusion of staggering sums of bailout money and states struggling with budget crises, Democrats said the legislation was desperately needed. Obama said Geithner has already had to step in to stop one company from taking delivery of a new corporate jet it planned to buy even after receiving billions of dollars of support from the government. That bank, Citigroup, canceled the deal earlier this week. Obama’s strong words overshadowed the other part of his message, that he wants to roll out, in the coming weeks, new plans to regulate Wall Street and get more credit flowing to consumers again. The president considers such steps to work in tandem with the economic stimulus measures unfolding in Congress.

After 19-year break, Redoubt could roar back to life in days, scientists say ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A volcano just 100 miles from Alaska's largest city has stirred back to life after nearly 20 years of tranquility, sparking a round-the-clock eruption watch, seismologists said Thursday.The fresh wave of seismic activity at Mount Redoubt suggests that the eruption could occur within days or weeks, the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported. Redoubt's renewed tremors sparked worries about potential ashfall in Anchorage, where city officials advised residents to stock up on supplies ranging from extra food and water to respirators, plastic bags and windshield washer fluid. Volcanic ash and mudflows spewed from Redoubt during its last eruptive episode — a five-month stretch that began in December 1989. Those eruptions created health hazards and cleanup headaches for surrounding communities. The mudflows caused partial flooding at an oil terminal facility, and the ash plumes disrupted international air traffic.The long hiatus at the 10,197-foot peak came to an end last fall, when seismic instruments registered an increase in activity. On Jan. 23, the levels increased markedly, leading the observatory to raise the alert level for aircraft and emergency officials. On Thursday, the observatory reported that the activity was "largely unchanged with several volcanic earthquakes occurring every hour." The observatory's seismologists said the most probable outcome would be an eruption "similar to or smaller than the one that occurred in 1989-90 ... within days or weeks." A more explosive eruption could send threatening mudflows or landslides down the Drift River and other drainages, but that scenario was "much less likely," the observatory said. Observatory staff members are checking instrument readings and satellite images around the clock to watch for temperature changes, said volcanologist Dave Schneider. A Webcam was installed about 7.5 miles from the summit, and additional seismic equipment will be installed at the volcano as weather permits. Observers will also look to weather radar scanners near the Kenai airport for help. Those scanners send data in six-minute intervals. These scanners will be able to detect an ash plume should one appear, Schneider said. This report includes information from The Associated Press and msnbc.com.

At Arctic summit, he sees need to defuse conflicts over energy, sea routes REYKJAVIK, Iceland - An Arctic thaw will open up sea routes and competition for lucrative energy reserves in a multinational scramble sure to pose new security threats, NATO's chief said Thursday.NATO commanders and lawmakers meeting in Iceland's capital said a military presence in the region will eventually be needed as standoffs between powerful nations unfold. "I would be the last one to expect military conflict — but there will be a military presence," NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer told delegates. "It should be a military presence that is not overdone, and there is a need for political cooperation and economic cooperation." ... as if there was any doubt we would be fighting over whats left....

in case ya didnt know yep that's right. this selfish pig drama queen already had 6 at home. I guess bringing six people into the world to use its resources and impact our environment wasn't enough for Suzy selfish. If all 8 babies survive she bumps her contribution to straining the planet up to 14. Fucking 14, unbelievable. Is humanity really doomed because assholes like her breed So fucking god damn much? Be fucking for real. Anything more then twins in the animal kingdom is considered a litter not a miracle. This bitch had a pretty big litter, most of the time you get 4-6 kittens or puppies. Guess she thought she had to shame the neighborhood pets too.

Oil giant breaks record for full-year earnings despite quarterly slump Exxon Mobil reported a profit of $45.2 billion for 2008 really dun need to say more then that do I?

some regulation is better than none and at least its a start. Up here vehicles that don't have to be reg or insured are the trucks that never see the road, never leave the private property aka farm pick em up trucks. These clunkers wouldn't pass a state insp and are used for hauling bales of hay and calf hutches etc.

That would be nice.... but seeing Dick Cheeny take the perp walk would also be nice

Yer page looks nice Alabama Arizona Arkansas has to have 1 and 2 Texas did I miss anybody? Write your reps and tell them you want state vehicle inspections with decent standards. Ours isn't outfuckingstanding but it should give you some ideas. Bringing beaters up to standards is a good way to keep mechanics busy ne? stimulate the economy! Protecting yourself and your environment are good things.

ZaRkPTyya3w I am one of those Americans disgusted by a variety of travesties the former administration committed. Its a kick in the ass when politicians and their toadies get away with petty crimes let alone stripping our rights and freedoms; its un-American in the most extreme way, taking a shit all over the principals this country was founded on. Many years ago we as a people agreed torture=bad and we got down with the Geneva convention and its body of rules pertaining to warfare. Our former president and his toadies went psycho. They turned on us because we didn't agree with illegal/retarded wars and thus started taking away our rights to oppose our government. Crimes have been committed against us and those fuckin people in Gitmo. As the people of this nation of freedom and democracy we can't just let it slide. This torture issue is a stain on the blue dress of America. Until we dry clean this mutherfucker we're going to look like shit to the rest of the world; as it stands right this second Americans condone torture. I can't accept that and I'm just one of many that can't.

House passes stimulus; no GOP support Posted: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 6:35 PM by Domenico Montanaro From NBC's Mike Viqueira and Domenico Montanaro The House passed the stimulus bill by a 244 to 188 vote. Eleven Democrats voted against the measure, and not a single Republican voted for it. The Democrats were: Boyd, Bright, Cooper, Ellsworth, Griffith, Kanjorski, Kratovil, Minnick, Peterson, Shuler, Taylor. These, for the most part, are Blue Dogs, the fiscal conservatives in the party. Despite President Obama's efforts to cull support for the bill, Republicans placed the blame squarely at the feet of House Democratic leadership, namely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for not involving them in the drafting of it. Obama praised the passage of the bill, but included this line: "The plan now moves to the Senate, and I hope that we can continue to strengthen this plan before it gets to my desk." Perhaps a sign that this Democratic-written plan may change quite a bit, which is usually the case with the large number of edits, adds and deletes done by the Senate. Here's Obama's full statement: "Last year, America lost 2.6 million jobs. On Monday alone, we learned that some of our biggest employers plan to cut another 55,000. This is a wakeup call to Washington that the American people need us to act and act immediately," the president said in a statement. "That is why I am grateful to the House of Representatives for moving the American Recovery and Reinvestment plan forward today. There are many numbers in this plan. It will double our capacity to generate renewable energy. It will lower the cost of health care by billions and improve its quality. It will modernize thousands of classrooms and send more kids to college. And it will put billions of dollars in immediate tax relief into the pockets of working families. But out of all these numbers, there is one that matters most to me: this recovery plan will save or create more than three million new jobs over the next few years. "I can also promise that my administration will administer this recovery plan with a level of transparency and accountability never before seen in Washington. Once it is passed, every American will be able to go the website recovery.gov and see how and where their money is being spent. The plan now moves to the Senate, and I hope that we can continue to strengthen this plan before it gets to my desk. But what we can't do is drag our feet or allow the same partisan differences to get in our way. We must move swiftly and boldly to put Americans back to work, and that is exactly what this plan begins to do."

Southern Plains hit, storm moves East; weeklong power outages possible LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Well over a million people shivered in ice-bound homes across the country Wednesday, waiting for warmer weather and for utility crews to restring power lines brought down by a storm that killed 23 as it took a snowy, icy journey from the Southern Plains to the East Coast. But with temperatures plunging, utility officials warned that it could be mid-February before electricity is restored to some of the hardest-hit places. The worst of the power failures were in Kentucky, Arkansas and Ohio. Just getting to their source was difficult for utility crews. Ice-encrusted tree limbs and power lines blocked glazed roads, and cracking limbs pierced the air like popping gunfire as they snapped. In Kentucky, National Guard soldiers were dispatched to remove the debris. Oklahoma, already struggling to restore power there, planned to send crews to help in Arkansas later in the week. "It looks like a tornado came through, but there wasn't a path; it was everywhere," said Mel Coleman, the chief executive officer of the North Arkansas Electric Cooperative in Salem. The power is out at his house, too, and he spent Tuesday night in a chair at his office. The storm was "worse than we ever imagined," he said. People huddled next to fireplaces In Arkansas — where ice was 3 inches thick in some places — people huddled next to fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and portable heaters powered by generators. When it got too cold, they left for shelters or relatives' homes that weren't hit as badly. "We bundled up together on a bed with four blankets. It's freezing," said Pearl Schmidt of Paintsville, in eastern Kentucky. Her family endured 32-degree weather Wednesday morning before leaving their house for a shelter. Kyle Brashears' family rode out the storm in their Mountain Home, Ark., home before fleeing to relatives after half an ice-caked oak tree fell into their home. "It caved the roof in and ripped the gutter off, although it didn't penetrate inside," he said. "I was walking around outside until about 1 a.m. and it was just a nonstop medley of tree limbs cracking off." The number of homes and businesses without power totaled around 1.4 million Wednesday evening, in a swath of states from Oklahoma to West Virginia. Arkansas had more than 350,000 customers in the dark; Kentucky had about a half-million. The actual number of people affected the power failures could be much higher. In Kentucky, the power outages produced by the ice storm were outdone only by the remnants of Hurricane Ike, which lashed the state with fierce winds last year, leaving about 600,000 customers without power. Gov. Steve Beshear said he was seeking a federal emergency disaster declaration, a key step in securing federal assistance for storm victims. "We've got lots of counties that do not have any communication, any heat, any power," he said. Various charities opened shelters across the region, but with the power out nearly everywhere — including at some radio stations — it was difficult to spread the word. Some deputies went door to door and offered to drive the elderly to safety. Residents urged to conserve water Meanwhile, some community leaders buckled down for a long haul. Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet spokesman Dick Brown urged people to conserve water because power failures could limit supplies in some areas. Since the storm began building Monday, the weather has been blamed for at least six deaths in Texas, four in Arkansas, three in Virginia, six in Missouri, two in Oklahoma, and one each in Indiana and Ohio. Some parts of New England were expected to see well over a foot of snow as the storm kept moving northeast, but because it turned to snow, ice-related power failures weren't as big of a concern. That didn't mean a trouble-free day for commuters. Delays or cancellations were reported at airports including those serving Columbus, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Commuters on highways encountered a slushy mess. Tracey Ramey of Waynesville, Ohio, a village about 20 miles southeast of Dayton, said her husband left for his job as a plow operator late Monday with an overnight bag and hasn't been able to return. He did call her Wednesday morning to caution her not to go to her data-entry job. "He said, 'There's 2 inches of ice on the road and there's no way you're going to make it to work,'" she said.
