think we should move beyond calling Bush incompetent for the way he is running the war in Iraq and accept that the war was only for Oil. Let's be ok with that, unless you want the price to go up even more. Bushco, by actually making the price go up to the point everybody hates him and the republicans, and thinks the economy is in the dumper has failed in the blood for oil department. His plan to steal the Arabs oil is an utter failure. He can't even steal oil correctly! What kind of a Texan does that? His big oil friends must laugh at him behind his back all of the time. I am willing to bet his grades at big oil man school were really low. With the way this Iraq war for oil has gone you would think that the only way he got through Big Oil man school was because of his father. He most likely didn’t even go to class. He didn't just dodge Vietnam. He dodged Big oil man school by saying he had to do his national guard time. At least that is that way I heard it at the film festival. I’m going to be looking into it because, Man! This gas thing sucks. I can barley afford to run my boat on the weekends.

Settlement Agreement Ends State Investigation of Rush Limbaugh
Fri Apr 28 2006 18:59:55 ET
Palm Beach, FL – April 28, 2006 – In response to media and other inquiries, Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh’s attorney, released the following statement today concerning a settlement agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office to end the investigation of Mr. Limbaugh:
"I am pleased to announce that the State Attorney’s Office and Mr. Limbaugh have reached an agreement whereby a single count charge of doctor shopping filed today by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months. As a primary condition of the dismissal, Mr. Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years. This is the same doctor under whose care Mr. Limbaugh has remained free of his addiction without relapse.
“Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position. Accordingly, we filed today with the Court a plea of ‘Not Guilty’ to the charge filed by the State.
“As part of this agreement, Mr. Limbaugh also has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation. The agreement also provides that he must refrain from violating the law during this 18 months, must pay $30 per month for the cost of “supervision” and comply with other similar provisions of the agreement.
“Mr. Limbaugh had intended to remain in treatment. Thus, we believe the outcome for him personally will be much as if he had fought the charge and won.”
The actions taken today are as follows:
The State Attorney has filed a single charge of doctor shopping with the Court. The charge is being held in abeyance under the terms of an agreement between the State and Mr. Limbaugh.
Mr. Limbaugh has filed a plea of “Not Guilty” with the Court.
The formal agreement between Mr. Limbaugh and the State Attorney will be filed with the Court on Monday. The terms of the agreement are substantively as follows:
Ø Mr. Limbaugh will continue in treatment with the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years.
Ø After Mr. Limbaugh completes an additional 18 months of treatment, the State Attorney has agreed to drop the charge.
Ø Mr. Limbaugh has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation.
You don't change the world by hiding in the woods, wearinga hair shirt, or buying indulgences in the form of save the earth bumper stickers. You do it by articulating a vision for the future and pursuing it with all the ingenuity humanity can muster. Indeed, being green at the start of the 21st century requires a wholehearted commitment to upgrading civilization. Four key principles can guide the way:

TULTITLAN, Mexico (AP) -- Considered felons by the government, these migrants fear detention, rape and robbery. Police and soldiers hunt them down at railroads, bus stations and fleabag hotels. Sometimes they are deported; more often officers simply take their money.
While migrants in the United States have held huge demonstrations in recent weeks, the hundreds of thousands of undocumented Central Americans in Mexico suffer mostly in silence.
And though Mexico demands humane treatment for its citizens who migrate to the U.S., regardless of their legal status, Mexico provides few protections for migrants on its own soil. The issue simply isn't on the country's political agenda, perhaps because migrants make up only 0.5 percent of the population, or about 500,000 people - compared with 12 percent in the United States.
The level of brutality Central American migrants face in Mexico was apparent Monday, when police conducting a raid for undocumented migrants near a rail yard outside Mexico City shot to death a local man, apparently because his dark skin and work clothes made officers think he was a migrant.
Here is another story about a huge volcano in Peru that has been spewing out green house gases as well as other gases for months now. This on the same day that Reuters reports about ice melt in Canada. No mention is made in either article about the impact of Volcanoes or the fact that the gases they emit are the same ones being blamed for causing global warming when they are man made, nor is the total volume of the gases and how they contrast with man made output.

Apr. 19 - Officials urge a small farming town in southern Peru to evacuate after a volcano sent smoke and ash 800 meters into the air.
The volcano, in the Moquegua region 900 kilometres south of Lima, has been belching for much of the month.
It has sent ash and sulfur as far away as the town of Ubinas, home to 3,500 people, eight kilometres away.
Small tremors have also been felt in nearby towns.
Officials urged residents in the farming community of Querapi to evacuate, but residents were reluctant to leave.
