While the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico gets worse by the minute, BP continues to dodge the tough questions about what went wrong and what they're doing to fix it. It's time we got some straight answers. If BP won't give them of their own free will, we must compel them to do so. This week, 18 of my colleagues and I introduced legislation to grant President Obama's bipartisan investigative commission subpoena power that will allow it to uncover the unvarnished truth. But we need your help to get there. Only with a strong grassroots push can we overcome the still-powerful oil lobby and convince Congress to give this commission the teeth it needs to bring transparency to the BP investigation, hold BP accountable, protect taxpayers and begin the difficult process of restoring the Gulf. Click here to stand with me today and demand transparency from BP. The Gulf of Mexico region has suffered enough and shouldn't have to beg to get the truth. http://www.democratsenators.org/o/44/t/825/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=316 As the slick approaches more than a hundred miles in either direction, the economic and environmental costs are seemingly immeasurable. Thousands of Gulf Coast residents have already had their livelihoods stolen from them and the region is losing billions in economic productivity. Equally heartbreaking is millions of acres of wetlands -- forty percent of all the wetlands in the country -- that are at risk in the Gulf of Mexico and the hundreds of species threatened by the spill, some possibly with extinction. This bipartisan commission is our best chance to determine what really happened and to protect us from future disasters. I hope you will stand with me today and send a message to Washington that New York and the nation expect us to act. Please click here to stand with me and help grant the commission the subpoena power it needs to bring justice to the Gulf of Mexico and protect our waters from spills. http://www.democratsenators.org/o/44/t/825/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=316 I know you share my empathy with the citizens of the Gulf Coast and the concern for the workers that are helping lead the clean-up. Thank you for standing with me as we search for the truth about what caused this tragedy and to help heal the region. Sincerely, Kirsten Gillibrand

As much as I love zombies ..... i hate teenagers even more -
this is what hack's who don't know wtf they're writing (or who they're writing with next week) do. assemble a huge cast so that when ya fuck up the primary characters storylines you have more characters to fall back on and eventually ruin. I can't read and watch garbage like that anymore. I don't have the patience for stupid I used to have. When its compounded with the greed of over doses of commercials and 5 month mid season breaks... well then I wont even consider giving it a chance. And seeing as how its on SyFuckouraudience.... well

I dun think that that the majority of Americans want to destroy everything they dislike.... Sure we have tea baggin assholes and fuckin christers trying to bring on Armageddon so they can board the spaceship Jesus and get off this rock for a while.... but I have to believe that the smart outweighs the stupid around here. most of the ignorant bible thumping racists live in the southern half of the USA... because they can still get away with dumb shit down there whereas up here we have laws to protect ppl and the enviro. I do not want my country in a state of perpetual war and I'm not the only anti war for resources and other dumb shit *cough Isreal cough* person out there. The northern states have a history of being blue and progressive while the south is red and...well we know what the republican party has become, it disgusts me. maybe ya should move up here? we have snow

All of this bullshittery isn't about protecting the artists rights. They already sold those to whichever corporation. This is about corps wanting dictatorial control of "their products".

Adults hurt in high school food fight turned brawl

Dubie was a devil child X'D -
hopefully we're coming to a place where we aren't substituting 1 form of slavery for another (corps and govts) I know I w00t everyday for human rights globally. I w00t everyday for the earth too. She's the only home we have. seize the day my brothers and sisters, own it. Because our kids n grandkids are gonna hold us accountable for it. I don't want to be the asshole. I wanna be the progressive that brought us to a better place-not because I ignored history (as if I could) but because I knew we could do better then the generations before

I was so determine not to hit my kids cuz I got hot asskickin served up constantly when I was a lil girl (alcoholic abusive dad) by the time my oldest was an asshole teen I get child protective called on my ass for trying to wash his mouth out with dish soap and the cap scratched his cheek A fucking scratch he turned out to be a drug addicted lazy piece of shit that never got his ass kicked by the one entity he should live in eternal fear of his fuckin mother -
White supremacist, Muslim supremacist, Jewish supremacist all the same kinda assholes, the 'I'm better/entitled' crowd of losers Nobody is better then somebody else because of skin tone or religion. Nobody is entitled to a fuckin thing cuz their parents branded a religion on their foreheads before they could speak. For me someone is "better" then the next pud when they take the time to educate themselves, to work for the benefit of all and not just themselves. At some point the folks in the north decided enslaving their fellow man wasn't such a hot idea. The south wanted to keep their cheap labor/energy and told the northern states to fuck off. Then there was succeeding and war and bullshit. Eventually sanity and decency prevailed and slavery became history....at least as policy..... Unfortunately there are many -yes white people- living in the southern states that have the stones to be pissed off about their ancestors getting a beat down and having to respect the basic rights of other human beings. So... do I get hissy pissy over the way MY native ancestors were treated by the invading/settling Europeans? Ummm.. that's a big fat YES. Thanks for the syphilis and small pox ya killed 10 million + indigenous people. Do I stand up for the native's.... yes. Do I study more then just the white or Mediterranean linage in me.... yes. Its hard to reconcile when yer a total mutt like me. I'm a lil bit of a lotta things but predominantly Italian (and no I'm not gonna apologize for Mussolini my family ran away from that cracktard) and Canadian Mohawk (as the American Mohawk were wiped out). Like my temper wasn't a dead giveaway I can't live in the past (but I can remember and learn from it), I have to live in the present with one eye on the future because I am a mother and don't want to leave my kids a steaming pile of shit to clean up because I was negligent. I'm sure that I have scores of ancestors that were fucked over by somebody, but that is history not today. Today I am a NY bitch moderately ashamed of my state cuz our senate is full of assclowns..... but at least we don't support "intelligent design" and our cars have catalytic converters......
