Noonan is trying to redeem herself from her “old girls club” comment about Palin a month and a half ago, but she is right, Palin slowly and with great calculation presented a terrific contrast between a career Senator whose own words rejected The Obamanation as qualified and a Governor whose experience and expertise is outside of Washington, doing the very things Washington wishes it could do but won’t and can’t.
No one will remember the debate’s language nor the debate’s questions after a week or two, but what they will remember is an extremely confident Governor who was expected to fail but instead not only did not fail but went “Joe to Joe” (I love my cleverness) with Biden and pinned him on several occasions with one point forcing Biden to “um…um…and stumble badly at a response regarding Palin correcting him on the matter of the surge.
But Noonan is a day late and a dollar short in appreciating what Palin brings to the table.
Now, I told you all Palin would do well. She did. Even with normal expectations, Palin proved herself to be an excellent choice who handled Biden like a veteran politician of Biden’s years.

“a response regarding Palin correcting him on the matter of the surge”
and which matter of the surge would that be?

Gee, I can’t believe my eyes. A post from Flack Gobbler without a single word in caps. What is the world coming to?
Palin lost the debate. The poll results give the debate to Biden by a wide margin.
You know people will remember a week from now about her coquettish performance? Wink, wink. You betcha. Doggone it. Her incoherent rambling in response to the question of what would justify the American use of a nuclear weapon. Her bombshell comment about there being “flexibility” in exercising the power of the vice-president and her desire to expand that role.

No, what people will remember on election day is the DESIRE OF THE OBAMANATION to NATIONALIZE the oil industry and punish them for success and providing millions of jobs to Americans by taking their profits and giving them to people who don’t work, that is called MARXISM. Obama is doomed.
Next LEFTY LIB Please!

“No, what people will remember on election day is the DESIRE OF THE OBAMANATION to NATIONALIZE..”
If Obama is to match the amount of Nationalization enacted by of our current administration, he’s got a lot of work to do.

And he is quite ANXIOUS to do it, after all he is a MARXIST so get ready for Jimmy Carter 5.0 if this pseudo-Messiah is elected. And if he is, in 4 years when you are crying in your soup…come tell me how grand this empty suit is.
Next Please!

But back here in the Philadelphia area, Joe Biden did well for himself. Remember “All politics is local.” Obama came to a high school in the burbs of Philly right after the debate, and Bruce Springsteen gave a benefit concert for Obama on the parkway in downtown Philly today.
I like Palin. She has spunk which McCain seems to lack. But she has a ways to go to compete in southeastern PA with Joe Biden, who sent at least one of his children to the University of Pennsylvania and commuted on Amtrak. Republicans must do well in western PA if they’re going to do better in this state than four years ago.

Come now.
“Liberal” comes from the same root as liberate = freedom.

In February of 2001, BP discovered a ruptured pipeline at Prudhoe Bay and reported that 9,400 gallons of crude oil and 2,100 gallons of methanol had spilled - they later revealed that the spill occurred in early December 2000, a full year before its discovery. Oil had leaked into nearby drinking water supplies. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation contended BP was liable for spilling 60,000 gallons, nearly six times the amount BP originally reported.
Drilling in general involves lots of activity.
Offshore drilling whether 5, 50 or 100 miles from shore involve not only drilling platforms but barges, airports, roads and other infrastructure, humans, human waste and so forth - for example, the infrastructure surrounding the platforms in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
Remember recent Hurricanes Katrina (2005) and Ike (2008) and damage to refineries in the Gulf Coast areas?
How about the Exxon Valdez oil spill more than a decade ago?
Exxon has not yet fully made reparations for the astounding amount of damage that has and will continue to affect generations of humans and animal life. Yet, they are making astonishing amounts of money - in the billions of dollars - PER MONTH. Not only are entire eco-systems damaged but our economy is damaged as well...
How about all the oil spills since and pipeline damages?
"The damages caused to the environment by pollution are large and rapidly increasing with the wild industrialization of many countries of the world. Corrosion of materials and systems is often partly responsible for pollution accidents. Environmental corrosion is also a by-product of pollution, particularly when dealing with atmospheric corrosion and the corrosion of historical landmarks or artifacts.
The direct costs associated with the corrosion of a valve, an oil tanker, a gas pipeline, can be tremendously amplified when the subsequent events result in pollution excursions. Releases of oil from pipelines can contaminate drinking water and crops, cause expensive property damage, kill fish, and create explosions and fires. The lack of proper maintenance in the Bhopal plant has resulted in the worst industrial catastrophe in history."
-Corrosion Doctors
What about damage resulting from improper industrial oversight and accident such as the Bhopal plant in India in 1984? See: http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/bhopal.html
The fate of the Porcupine Caribou and that of the Gwich'in are intertwined.
Adam and Eve ("life") are humans, "adam" meaning "from the earth" and earth is "adamah". The humans and the land cannot be separated they are together forever. (Genesis - Chapter 1).
Adam and Eve (humans) are in the Garden of Eden (Earth) given natural abundance of which they can partake but must exercise restraint. (Genesis 2:16,17)
"Justice, Justice must you pursue so that you may thrive in the land Adonoi your G-d has given you." (Deuteronomy 16:20)
The people are reminded to "take it back to your fellow" - return things to others - whether an animal, a garment or a people often forgotten. "I was like a dead person, out of mind; I was like a lost utensil." (Deuteronomy 21:10 - 25:19)
The story of the Gwich'in and the Porcupine Caribou reflects that of the Plains Indians and the buffalo.
We have freedom to choose - to commit human and civil rights abuses with the Gwich'in in our own country - to expect them to sacrifice their way of life to meet our country's energy needs even though we have millions of acres of leased lands for drilling that remain untouched both in Alaska and mainly western states of the lower 48 such as Montana, Wyoming and New Mexico, while we uphold the rights of others around the globe to survival such as in Darfur, Sudan; Iraq, Afghanistan to name a few.
Or will we choose the right to life and culture of the Gwich'in Nation and our precious environment, not repeating the same sad story of our nation's frequent treatment of First Nation peoples such as the Plains Indians?
"Greater tragedy will ensue if the beliefs that have buttressed foreign policies in the past, which we now know are untrue, inform foreign policy-making today..." - Sheldon Anderson, Miami University, on the misuse of historical analogy in U.S. foreign policymaking.
"Dear Friends, The smoke of burning fossil fuels is darkening our planet, creating the climate crisis of global scorching. From that darkness we can grow the light of a broader and deeper world community.
We can all join in healing the earth by changing what we do in our own households, our own congregations, and through social action, our whole society."
- Rabbi Arthur Waskow
Individually, we cannot do everything. But we can do something.
Making A Difference
-Edward Everett Hale
"I am only one.
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything.
But still I can do something.
And because I can do something,
I will not refuse to do the something
that I can do."
Freedom to speak about the right to life of a fertilized egg,
the right to life of a woman who was raped, or her right to decide to carry a child of her attacker along with her doctor,
the right to comprehensive education,
the right to choose to fight in a war and the right to choose not to fight out of fear of death or fear of becoming a killer.
"Liberal" is not a dirty word, despite attempts to frame it as such.
Note to Guinness -
"Obamanation" could be interpreted as "Obama nation" which I prefer to an abomination.
Drilling in the sensitive Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Coastal Plain Area when million of leased lands available for drilling are not being used, when the Department of Energy states that more drilling is useless and environmental degradation and human and civil rights abuses will occur as a result of the drilling and "environmentally sensitive" drilling is a myth is an abomination.
Note:
A report from the Department of Energy finds that drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge wouldn't lower gas prices at all in the short term, and would only net consumers about a penny a gallon at peak production in 2025.

What happened to the post about the Gwich’in People of Northeast Alaska and Northwest Canada, protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Coastal Plain against oil and gas development and portecting the source of life (food, clothing, medicine, culture) for Gwich’in People – the Porcupine Caribou Herd which give birth to and nurse their young in the area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

One remembers that life seems to be high priced, nevertheless some people need money for various stuff and not every man gets big sums money. Hence to get quick personal loans and credit loan should be good way out.
