The "LOL OIL" Tesla Vanity License Plate

Photo: Imgur, via Digg Better to Laugh than to Cry Getting off oil is one of the hardest things that our petroleum-addicted society will have to do. It’s a challenge of epic proportions, and it’s going to be hard especially in the transportation sector where oil utterly dominates as a source of energy. We’ll need to change our cities (make them more like Copenhagen ), and change our vehicles (allow them to be powered by clean(er) sources, like electricity from renewables). All of this will be … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Who Is Running America? The Reserve and it’s first audit , who owns your money ?

Thomas Jefferson once said: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” — Thomas Jefferson — The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809) “. http://www.barefootsworld.net/usfraud.html added by: notyourbabiesdaddy

To Cap or Not to Cap (and Trade)?

Aaron Vargas picture

“You#39;re not going to hurt anyone again,” Aaron Vargas, 32, allegedly said as 63-year-old Darrell McNeill lay dying. The fatal shooting in the quaint town flanked by redwood forests and spectacular coastal views has sparked a debate over whether Vargas should be treated like a hero for killing a man who many, including his own family, considered a danger to children, or a criminal for allegedly taking the law into his own hands. After Aaron Vargas endured years of s-exual abuse, it seemed in

GOP gets big bump of donors in August

WASHINGTON — Despite being in the minority in Congress, Republican campaign committees outraised Democrats by $1.7 million in August as they have aggressively collected political cash amid the rancorous debate over health care. Republicans also held an edge over Democrats in the amount of money available, when counting debts, as both parties set the stage for the 2010 elections, in which more than three dozen competitive House and Senate seats are at stake. added by: bansheewail 8 responses
