Excerpt:<br><br>
"Yellowstone had a bear problem. The bears were coming into contact with people far too frequently. For the safety of the park visitors, they were forced to tranquilize and relocate some of these bears. Unfortunately, people were often part of the problem. They were an easy source of food. Some campers would leave food out, others driving through happy to see a bear, would feed them right from the car. This was not only dangerous, but it encouraged bears to seek out people who may or may not have food. Particular ‘problem’ bears that park rangers had relocated would actually return to the scene of the crime seeking out more food.<br><br>
The trouble with these repeat offenders was that they were smart, they learned how to not get caught. The rangers actually believed that many of these bears recognized the park rangers vehicles and uniforms and would flee at first sight. This meant the rangers needed to be covert, so they wore civilian clothes and drove an unmarked vehicle, and worked in teams for these particularly difficult cases.<br><br>
One day, two rangers found their problem bear and were able to shoot him with a dart from their unmarked vehicle. They waited several minutes for the tranquilizers to kick in, as another group of rangers were radioed in to pick up the bear. As they waited, a park visitor pulled up to get a closer look at the bear they just spotted."<br><br>

The Men's Vote - Game On</a> pokes fun at what issues are 'supposed' to be 'men's issues' or 'women's issues.'<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
The most commonly claimed women’s issue – reproductive health. Fine, we are the ones to get pregnant, so that one goes in our column.<br />
<br />
Following that logic, I declare ‘beer and guns’ a men’s issue. Now I like beer, but the numbers are what they are, beer and guns go to the men.<br />
<br />
Consequently, the environment goes to the ladies. You ever tried to get a dude with a rifle to drive a Prius? Good luck – we’re taking the environment.<br />
<br />
So since the guys have the guns, the military goes to the men – that’s only fair.<br />
<br />
However, that also means foreign relations goes to the women. Don’t want the cowboy with the beer and the weaponry trying to talk to the ambassadors of Israel and Saudia Arabia about ‘Peace in the Middle East.’<br />
<br />
The economy is more challenging. Concerns about gas prices will have to go to the men since they’re driving the hummers, and the women are driving the hybrids. Jobs are tricky, the women are at home barefoot and pregnant, so they may not need the job. However, are you going to hire the guy who pulls up to work in his Hummer with a 40 in one hand and a rocket launcher in the other? I’m thinking the women are more employable, so that means men are more concerned about the lack of jobs, and the women are more concerned about favorable economic conditions for businesses. Hence cost of gasoline and unemployment concerns go to the men. Deregulation and lower taxes go to the women.<br />
<br />
That’s fair, right? Just following the numbers and the facts to their logical conclusion.</blockquote>

Darrell Issa, SOPA Opponent and ‘Internet Defender’</a> provides an interesting look, not only at what stopped the SOPA legislation, but also how Washington deals with technology. Essentially they're behind the times, and for the few legislators who do have a grasp on current (or emerging) technologies political party is of little consequence.<br /><br /><blockquote>When the technology community rallied together in opposition of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), Rep. Issa was at the front lines of Congress fighting to kill the bill. And as a former electronics company CEO, he’s one of the few Congressman who seem to “get it” when it comes to technology (Fun fact: Rep. Issa lent his voice to the alarm system for the ultra-sleek Dodge Viper).<br /><hr><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The debate around SOPA and other technology bills doesn’t divide neatly along party lines. Do you think technology issues are, in a way, bipartisan?</span><br /><br />“Intellectual property and how we deal with that is always bipartisan … Sen. Wyden (D-Ore.) was particularly helpful in this entire debate, he brought his own version [of an intellectual property bill] to the Senate floor. [Rep. Jared] Polis [D-Colo.] was great to have as somebody else who knew the Internet and what it could do.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">You put the draft version of the OPEN Act online for the public to read and comment upon. Do you think that kind of transparency is the future of politics and technology?</span><br /><br />“I do believe it is the future. Congress has to be willing to fund it. The Madison project had to be done at an external site because that kind of interactive exchange isn’t allowed under the House’s firewall rule, so we went to an outside storage facility.<br /><br />“We don’t like to call the people who make the rules in the House and the Senate “Luddites,” but they’re pretty close. They’re very ultra-conservative on what (new technologies) they’re willing to adopt. Congress only went to Outlook Web a year ago — and it was still only a belt-and-suspenders type of access … our whole infrastructure is built around not getting hacked rather than getting access. <br /><br />“The technology systems in the House are quite archaic, and if you’re dealing with members that have been around for a long time, it’s harder to adopt new platforms than if you’re in the private sector and more comfortable with new platforms. A big part of the House’s bandwidth is actually used for an off-site redundancy, which duplicates every one of our sites for Outlook and all of our servers. We use so much bandwidth for that, I’m still fighting to get (Voice over IP) telephones installed in the House.”<br /></blockquote><hr><font size="-1"><br /><a href="http://www.doctordog.com/Dr-Dog-Euca-Loba-Sensitive-Skin-Itch-Allergy-Shampoo_p_399.html">Dog Allergy Shampoo</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/drdognewsletter/glucochon.html">Pet Glucosamine</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/">Dog Health Care</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/Wee-Wee-Dog-Diapers_p_1146.html">Wee Wee Dog Diapers</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/-Dr-Dog-Skin-Care-for-Dogs--Dog-Itch-Hot-Spot-Treatment_p_101.html">Dog Lotion</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/Potty-Mouth-Coprophagia-Prevention_p_848.html">Dog Potty Mouth</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/Dr-Dog-Skin-Care-Paw-Licking-Treatment_p_403.html">Paw Licking</a> - <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">NH Web Development</a> - <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com">Maine Toolmaker</a> - <a href="http://www.kanu.com">Kanu Shampoo</a> - <a href="http://obamaindependent.blogspot.com/">Obama Independent</a> - <a href="http://morepols.blogspot.com/">More Pols</a></font>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-45966403732110885272012-03-05T19:05:00.001-08:002012-03-05T19:06:28.247-08:00Obama Well Prepared for General Campaign<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-election-campaign-quietly-organizes-while-republicans-fight-191727365.html">Obama’s re-election campaign quietly organizes while Republicans fight</a><br /><br />"BEAVERCREEK, Ohio—President Barack Obama's supporters waited all of two months after his inauguration to start laying the groundwork here for what has become a re-election machine that is bigger and tougher than his would-be Republican rivals' nightmarish imaginings.<br /> <br />Oh, I'm afraid the Obama campaign will be quite operational when his Republican challenger arrives.<br /> <br />Powerful, the president's re-election effort is: A new NBC News/Marist poll finds Obama trouncing his opponents in hypothetical general-election matchups in this state.

The apology appeared forced and insincere as it barely offered an apology, but instead a criticism of congress. CBS News reported on Limbaugh's "apology."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57390101-503544/limbaugh-apologizes-to-sandra-fluke/">Limbaugh apologizes to Sandra Fluke</a><br /><br />"The storm not only swirled around Limbaugh, he began to feel some of the impact, too. After his statements and subsequent public reaction, three advertisers, including two mattress companies, pulled their ads from his radio program. <br /><br /><br />Although he apologized, in the same statement the fiery radio host called Fluke's testimony before a mock Congressional hearing "absurd."<br /><br />"I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress," he wrote, but he added: "I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke."<br /><br />On his radio show on February 29, Limbaugh elevated the debate to the next level when he said: "What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? What does that make her?" <br /><br />"It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute."<br /><br />"She wants to be paid to have sex," Limbaugh continued on his radio program. "She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception." <br /><br />The point Limbaugh said he was trying to make was that taxpayers' dollars should not be used for contraception coverage. <br /><br /><br />Limbaugh was referring to Fluke's testimony before the Democrat-organized mock hearing after being cut from the witness list by Republican leadership at an official hearing on the president's recent decision to require insurance companies provide contraception coverage for employees of religious-affiliated institutions. <br /><br />Her testimony did not talk about sex at the hearing but discussed the importance of birth control coverage for Georgetown University Law School students for family planning and health reasons."<br /><br /><hr><br /><font size="2pt"><a href="http://nh4mccain.blogspot.com/">In New Hampshire</a> <a href="http://broadstore.blogspot.com/">Broad Store</a> <a href="http://themccainsupporter.blogspot.com/">Supporter</a> <a href="http://bluecollarvoters.blogspot.com/">Blue Collar</a> <a href="http://whodoivotefor.blogspot.com/">Who Do I Vote For</a> <a href="http://mccainbloggerresources.blogspot.com/">Blogger Resource</a> <a href="http://morepols.blogspot.com/">More Pols</a> <a href="http://usindependent.blogspot.com/">US Independent</a> <a href="http://round-four.blogspot.com/">Round Four</a> <a href="http://circletheweb.blogspot.com/">Circle Web</a> <a href="http://linkedtheweb.blogspot.com/">Linked Web</a> <a href="http://ramblingweb.blogspot.com/">Rambling Web</a> <a href="http://mccainstates.blogspot.com/">McCain States</a> <a href="http://scienceless.blogspot.com/">Science Less</a> <a href="http://theonlinevolunteer.blogspot.com/">Online Volunteer</a> <a href="http://webinquiry.blogspot.com/">Web Inquiry</a> <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.blogspot.com/">NH Web Development Blog</a> <a href="http://battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com/">Battle Ground</a> <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.blogspot.com/">Purple People</a> <a href="http://indie-site.blogspot.com/">Indie Site</a> <a href="http://obamaindependents.blogspot.com/">Obama Independents</a> <a href="http://mccainindependents.blogspot.com/">American Independent</a> <a href="http://mccainindependent.blogspot.com/">Independent Blogger</a> <a href="http://changecandidate.blogspot.com/">Change Candidate</a> <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com/blog.asp">NH Web Blog</a></font>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-32141455898436695972012-03-01T17:27:00.001-08:002012-03-01T17:28:20.966-08:00Brietbart Gone at 42From people of all political stripes, people are remembering the political activist Andrew Brietbart...<br /><br />From of Guy Benson of Townhall.com <a href="http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2012/03/01/mourning_breitbart">Mourning Breitbart</a><br /><br />"Andrew was fearless. A reformed Leftist, he made a conscious decision to devote his life to fighting his former ideological brethren with every ounce of his being -- and never looked back. Throughout his lamentably truncated career as a professional political provocateur, his targets came to loathe him with a rage rarely seen, even in today's polarized climate. As I explained in my introduction of him at last year's CPAC gathering, Andrew had attained near-hero status among many conservatives simply for amassing such an impressive roster of enemies. He targeted Planned Parenthood for their noxious criminality, brought down ACORN over similar transgressions, and last year took out a sitting Congressman, almost single-handedly. Andrew's impromptu hijacking of Rep. Anthony Weiner's New York press conference remains one of the most surreal media events in memory. <br /> <br />He delighted in rattling liberals' cages. He relished attacking their sacred cows. And he never once shied away from a fight. In his CPAC speech just last month, Andrew claimed to have obtained old footage of Barack Obama that could impact the upcoming presidential election. So even in death, Andrew Breitbart will continue to torment the Left -- at least for a few more months. He wouldn't have had it any other way. What a loss. Rest in peace."<br /><br />----<br /><br />From the Huffington Post <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/01/andrew-breitbart-dead-blogger-dies_n_1312944.html">Andrew Breitbart Dead: Conservative Blogger Dies Suddenly At 43 </a><br /><br />"Breitbart came to be well-known for his work with the Drudge Report (he also played an early role with The Huffington Post), and would go on to found the Big Journalism, Big Hollywood and Breitbart.com websites. He was also an author, columnist and ubiquitous commentator in the media.<br /><br />People from all sides of the political spectrum paid tribute to Breitbart. <br /><br />Shirley Sherrod, the USDA employee who was fired from her job after Breitbart released an incomplete video of her appearing to say she intentionally discriminated against white farmers —she was actually describing how she overcame such prejudices — sent her condolences.<br /><br />"The news of Mr. Breitbart's death came as a surprise to me when I was informed of it this morning," she said. "My prayers go out to Mr. Breitbart's family as they cope through this very difficult time."<br /><br />----<br /><br />Big Government Andrew Brietbart's own site remembered him with a quote from his book. <a href="http://biggovernment.com/lsolov/2012/03/01/draft/">In Memoriam: Andrew Brietbart (1969-2012)</a><br /><br />"Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:<br /> <br />I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.<br /> <br />Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night."<br /><br /><hr><br /><a href="http://www.doctordog.com">Dr. Dog Cat and Dog Health Care</a> - <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com"> </a> - <a href="http://www.hotspottreatment.com">Dog Hot Spot Treatment</a> - <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">NH Web Development</a>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-25329249922695693512012-02-28T09:22:00.001-08:002012-02-28T09:23:52.361-08:00Michigan Primary Goes Down to the WireMichigan proving too close too call...<br /><br />From CNN - <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/28/election/2012/primaries/index.html?hpt=hp_t2">Tough talk testament to high stakes in Michigan primary</a><br /><br />"The tough talk is indicative of the high stakes in Michigan.

I strongly recommend looking for another registrar like Network Solutions or NameCheap, because GoDaddy misleads its customers and bleeds money from them through their dubious practices. The most recent example I encountered is of a client who purchased a domain and email service believing they had also signed up for a hosting account. Technically they could 'host' their domain at GoDaddy, but it was a severely limited plan that only allowed for a canned page to be 'hosted' at Godaddy, which left them without the actual service they needed..."<br /><br />Read more - <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com/Ditch-GoDaddy_b_6.html">Ditch GoDaddy</a> at <a href="http://www.BroadSideofthebarn.com">NH Web Development</a> site, Broad Side of the Barn<hr><br /><font size="2pt"><a href="http://nh4mccain.blogspot.com/">In New Hampshire</a> <a href="http://broadstore.blogspot.com/">Broad Store</a> <a href="http://themccainsupporter.blogspot.com/">Supporter</a> <a href="http://bluecollarvoters.blogspot.com/">Blue Collar</a> <a href="http://whodoivotefor.blogspot.com/">Who Do I Vote For</a> <a href="http://mccainbloggerresources.blogspot.com/">Blogger Resource</a> <a href="http://morepols.blogspot.com/">More Pols</a> <a href="http://usindependent.blogspot.com/">US Independent</a> <a href="http://round-four.blogspot.com/">Round Four</a> <a href="http://circletheweb.blogspot.com/">Circle Web</a> <a href="http://linkedtheweb.blogspot.com/">Linked Web</a> <a href="http://ramblingweb.blogspot.com/">Rambling Web</a> <a href="http://mccainstates.blogspot.com/">McCain States</a> <a href="http://scienceless.blogspot.com/">Science Less</a> <a href="http://theonlinevolunteer.blogspot.com/">Online Volunteer</a> <a href="http://webinquiry.blogspot.com/">Web Inquiry</a> <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.blogspot.com/"></a> <a href="http://battlegroundstates08.blogspot.com/">Battle Ground</a> <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.blogspot.com/">Purple People</a> <a href="http://indie-site.blogspot.com/">Indie Site</a> <a href="http://obamaindependents.blogspot.com/">Obama Independents</a> <a href="http://mccainindependents.blogspot.com/">American Independent</a> <a href="http://mccainindependent.blogspot.com/">Independent Blogger</a> <a href="http://changecandidate.blogspot.com/">Change Candidate</a> <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com/blog.asp">NH Web Blog</a></font>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-90349531385422770512012-02-25T17:07:00.002-08:002012-02-25T17:23:44.585-08:00HTML5From Wikipedia - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5">HTML5</a><br /><br />Following its immediate predecessors HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, HTML5 is a response to the observation that the HTML and XHTML in common use on the World Wide Web are a mixture of features introduced by various specifications, along with those introduced by software products such as web browsers, those established by common practice, and the many syntax errors in existing web documents.[citation needed] It is also an attempt to define a single markup language that can be written in either HTML or XHTML syntax. It includes detailed processing models to encourage more interoperable implementations; it extends, improves and rationalises the markup available for documents, and introduces markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex web applications.[3] For the same reasons, HTML5 is also a potential candidate for cross-platform mobile applications. Many features of HTML5 have been built with the consideration of being able to run on low-powered devices such as smartphones and tablets. In December 2011 research firm Strategy Analytics forecast sales of HTML5 compatible phones will top 1 billion in 2013.<br /><hr><font size="-1"><br /><a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">NH Web</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/-Dr-Dog-Skin-Care-for-Dogs--Dog-Itch-Hot-Spot-Treatment_p_101.html">Dog Lotion</a> - <a href="http://www.kanu.com">Kanu Cosmetics</a> - <a href="http://www.beerdocent.com">Beer Docent</a> - <a href="http://www.twitter.com/doctordogdotcom">Dr. Dog</a> - <a href="http://greenum.info/">Greenum</a> - <a href="http://hotspottreatment.info/">Hot Spot Treatment</a> - <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.com/whatwedo.html">Morrison Sites</a> - <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com/">Maine Tool Maker</a> - <br /><a href="http://www.doctordog.com/Oatmeal-Protein-Dog-Conditioner_p_757.html">Dog Conditioner</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/Dog-Vehicle-Safety-Harness_p_382.html">Dog Safety Harness</a> - <a href="http://maine-toolroom.com/oboegouge.htm">Oboe Machine</a><br><br /></font>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-43801723150343069452012-02-03T08:52:00.000-08:002012-02-03T08:53:28.191-08:00Pet Care at Dr. Dog"Caring for a senior pet often requires additional attention be given to health and safety issues.

However, there is one program (at least) that I believe in. Government funded home weatherization for people/families with low incomes. It makes sense on several levels. The home improvements are costly for someone living paycheck to paycheck, yet the energy savings from winterizing a home can be substantial. No one with a heart wants to see people in cold climates without heat. Also, the reduction in energy for that home is good for the individual, for the community, and even for the earth. Simply put it’s a practical useful government expenditure.<br /><br />So what’s the complaint? The Weatherization & Intergovernmental Program website. First off, the name itself alludes to the problem with the site. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a person use the word ‘intergovernmental’ in a sentence before, and it is the unintelligible nature of the website that is the problem. This is the opening paragraph of the website…<br /><blockquote>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program provides grants, technical assistance, and information tools to states, local governments, community action agencies, utilities, Indian tribes, and overseas U.S. territories for their energy programs. These programs coordinate with national goals to reduce petroleum consumption and increase the energy efficiency of the U.S. economy. They aim at market transformation to reduce market barriers to the cost effective adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.</blockquote><br />Well, I’m glad to hear that, “They aim at market transformation to reduce market barriers to the cost effective adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.” Seriously, they can’t say something like – we’d like more people of modest means to be able to weatherize their home?</blockquote><br /><br />Finish reading - <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.com/2010/11/17/governments-weatherization-site-should-we-laugh-or-cry/">The Government’s Weatherization Site – Should We Laugh or Cry?</a><br /><br /><br /><hr><br /><a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com">toolmaker</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-REP">acne breakout</a> <a href="http://doctordog.com/store/productInfo.aspx?productid=DDSCFD">dog skin</a> <a href="http://www.purplepeoplevote.com">independent blog</a> <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.com/2008/07/28/political-cartoon-obama-and-the-media/">obama media</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-389307">pet hair magnet</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-606624">paw pad</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/">revolutionary skin care</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Independent-Call-New-Hampshire/dp/0578016184">independent nh</a> <a href="http://www.ikat.com">girls education</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=WATS-BU">dog rear support</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-193720">sisal cat scratch post</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B4=0010">dog snuggie</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B5-03990">dog snake repellent</a> <a href="http://circletheweb.blogspot.com/">web cirle</a> <a href="http://webinquiry.blogspot.com/">web inquiry</a> <a href="">purple vote</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=HP-SUSP1">dog diaper harness</a> <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">nh web</a>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-65078606905476545712010-11-17T07:16:00.000-08:002010-11-17T08:01:18.105-08:00Domenici and Rivlin Take on Debt ReductionPete V. Domenici and Alice M. Rivlin the head of the 'Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force' take a serious look a debt defiit reduction. As they note, they are likely to receice criticism for parts of their plan from bith sides, just as President Obama's fiscal commission recently did. However, it is good to see ideas come forward, and the natioanal finances taken seriously. Below is an excerpt of their summary published in the Washington Post. The entire article is certainly worth a read - <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/16/AR2010111605032.html">Payroll tax holiday and other measures to reduce the debt</a><br /><br /><blockquote>To ensure a more robust recovery, we propose a one-year "payroll tax holiday" for 2011, suspending Social Security payroll taxes for employers and employees. We also would phase in the steps to reduce deficits and debt gradually beginning in 2012, so the economy will be strong enough to absorb them. <br /><br />We would stabilize the debt held by the public at less than 60 percent of gross domestic product, an internationally recognized standard; reduce annual deficits to manageable levels; and balance the "primary" budget (everything other than interest payments) by 2014. <br /><br />We would dramatically simplify the tax system, establishing individual tax rates of 15 and 27 percent (from the current high of 35), cutting the corporate tax rate to 27 percent (from 35 today), ending most deductions and credits while simplifying the rest, and ensuring that nearly 90 million households no longer have to file returns. To reduce the debt, we would supplement our spending cuts with a 6.5 percent "debt-reduction sales tax." <br /><br />We would strengthen Social Security so it can pay benefits for the next 75 years by gradually raising the amount of wages subject to payroll taxes; slightly reducing the growth in benefits for the top 25 percent of beneficiaries; raising the minimum benefit for long-term, low-wage workers; indexing benefits to life expectancy; and changing the calculation of cost-of-living adjustments to better reflect inflation. We would not raise the age at which senior citizens can begin receiving benefits. <br /><br />We would control health-care costs - the biggest driver of long-term deficits - by reforming Medicare and Medicaid while, starting in 2018, capping and then phasing out the tax exclusion for employer-provided health care. We would reform medical malpractice laws and help address the health costs tied to rising obesity by imposing a tax on high-calorie sodas. <br /><br />We would freeze domestic discretionary spending for four years and defense spending for five, both at 2011 levels, and then limit their future growth to the rate of growth in the economy. <br /><br />Finally, we would cap domestic and defense discretionary spending (with tight exceptions for true emergencies) and trigger across-the-board cuts if the caps are breached; enact a strict pay-as-you-go statutory rule for tax cuts or expansions of entitlements; and enact long-term budgets for major entitlements while creating a Fiscal Accountability Commission that would recommend policy changes every five years if entitlements are exceeding their budgets. <br /><br /></blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=DDSCPAW">paw licking</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=DDSCFD">dog skin</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-REP">acne breakout</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com">skin health</a> <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com">toolmaker</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-REP">stop zits</a> <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com/ehorn.htm">english horn gouger</a> <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.com/">nh web</a> <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.com/chicken.htm">Chicken Hill</a> <a href="">dog care</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/Category.aspx?CategoryID=203">dog digestive</a> <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.com/2008/07/28/political-cartoon-obama-and-the-media/">obama media</a> <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.com">purple states</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-052155">dog gas</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B5-26033">pet hydrocortisone</a> <a href="http://scienceless.blogspot.com/2010/11/clinton-to-gates.html">Clinton Gates</a> <a href="http://www.ikat.org/">girls education</a>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-91987571588071343392010-11-16T13:15:00.000-08:002010-11-16T13:16:38.250-08:00Oil Backs Off HighsOil prices dropped today as concerns about the economy, and the strength of the recovery grow.<br /><br />From Yahoo/AP <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Oil-prices-slide-on-fresh-apf-2524020599.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=8&asset=&ccode=">Oil prices slide</a><br /><br /><blockquote>Oil prices fell again as investors took profits amid renewed concerns about the global economy. A three-day decline has erased most of the gains for the month of November.<br /><br />Benchmark oil for December delivery fell $2.52, or 3 percent, to $82.34 a barrel Tuesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange as traders considered Ireland's ongoing debt problems and worries about higher inflation in Asia.<br /><br />Meanwhile, pump prices inched higher overnight to a national average of $2.893 a gallon for unleaded regular gasoline, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. The price is about 6 cents higher than it was a month ago and 26 cents more than a year ago.<br /><br />Oil prices have fallen 6.1 percent since Thursday, when speculation arose that China would take steps to control its economic growth. On Tuesday, South Korea's central bank raised interest rates to curb growing inflation. Add in some concern about Ireland's impact on Europe's economic recovery and investors found good reason to secure some recent profits.</blockquote><br /><br /><hr><br /><br /><a href="http://mccainstates.blogspot.com/">McCain States</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-REP">Acne Breakout</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/productInfo.aspx?productid=DDSCFD">Dog Skin</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=MC-SRU1">repelum</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/category.aspx?categoryID=168">teething toys</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/Category.aspx?CategoryID=148">hairball remedies</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com">advanced skin care</a> <a href="">dog ear care</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/category.aspx?categoryID=292">canine aspirin</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-027563">groomer bows</a> <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com">toolmaker</a> <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">nh writing</a> <a href="http://www.purplepeoplevote.com">purple states</a> <a href="http://www.ikat.org/">girls education</a>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-29783169786047183512010-11-16T07:45:00.001-08:002010-11-16T07:45:51.687-08:00Wall Street Opens LowerStocks open lower today...<br /><br /><a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Stocks-retreat-on-Asian-apf-2395909032.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=main&asset=&ccode=">From Yahoo/AP</a><br /><br /><blockquote>NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks retreated Tuesday following new worries about rising inflation in Asia and the possibility Ireland might need a bailout.<br /><br />The Dow Jones industrial average fell 73 points in morning trading. The losses piled up even as shares of two components of the index, Home Depot Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., rose more than 2 percent following improved earnings.<br /><br />Asian markets fell overnight after South Korea's central bank raised interest rates to curb growing inflation. There has been speculation in recent days that China will have to take similar steps soon.<br /><br />A report in the U.S. showed inflation at the wholesale level was smaller than predicted. The producer price index rose 0.4 percent last month, half of what economists' expected. The rise was due to a sharp increase in food and energy costs. Stripping out those volatile costs, prices fell 0.6 percent. The report backs up the Federal Reserve's view that inflation remains low because of sluggish growth.</blockquote><br /><br /><br /><hr><br /><a href="http://purplepeoplevote.com/2008/10/03/mccain-2005-reform-fannie-mae-and-freddie-mac/">mccain regulatory reform</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-510734">dander remover</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-262112">puppy vitamins</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B5-03703">dog safety harness</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-408511">pet water pan</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=DDSCFD">dog skin</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=DDEC">dog ear wash</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-389307">pet hair magnet</a> <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/productInfo.aspx?productid=DDEMS">dog skin shampoo</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-REP">acne breakout</a> <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com">toolmaker</a> <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">NH Web</a> <a href="http://round-four.blogspot.com/">round four</a> <a href="http://mccainindependent.blogspot.com/">independent voters</a> <a href="http://circletheweb.blogspot.com/">Circle web</a> <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.com/snowboard.htm">Snowboarding trials</a> <a href="http://broadsideofthebarn.com/hookers.htm">mother hookers</a> <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com">Revolutionary skin care</a>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-4080367341302923902010-11-15T09:16:00.001-08:002010-11-15T09:16:53.606-08:00Aung San Suu Kyi ReleasedAung San Suu Kyi was freed this weekend after years of house arrest in Myanmar/Burma.

You've got to do it with me. One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing change and democracy to a country."<br /><br />"We would like to form a network of people working for democracy," she told CNN Monday, and said she would like to open a dialogue with "those who are in a position to do something, to change the situation in Burma for the better."<br /><br />She said she has had no contact with Gen. Than Shwe, Myanmar's top military leader and head of state. Asked what she would say to him, she said, "I think what we are looking for is dialogue, so I'm not just thinking about what I have to say to him.

So the question now is, ‘Can they work together?’ Only time will tell.<br /><br />However, there is one issue (at least) that lends itself to bipartisan compromise – Energy. There are all sorts of good reasons to want a substantive energy policy. In fact there are so many reasons for addressing energy policy that Republicans and Democrats don’t have to be motivated by the same rationale…<br /><br />The socio-political rationale: We purchase much of our oil from dangerous and volatile regions of the world that often don’t like the U.S. very much.<br /><br />Environmental rationale: Energy derived from fossil fuels is not good for the environment.<br /><br />Supply rationale: Some day we will run out of oil and coal.<br /><br />Economic rationale: High energy costs and fluctuating energy costs negatively impact the economy in numerous ways...</blockquote><br /><br />Continue reading <a href="http://purplepeoplevote.com/2010/11/10/will-congress-have-the-backbone-to-address-energy/" target="blank">Will Congress Have the Backbone to Address Energy?</a><hr><br /><br />Links: <a href="https://www.ikat.org/about-cai/">Girls Education</a> - <a href="http://www.broadsideofthebarn.com">NH Web</a> - <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com">Maine Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/drdognewsletter/lickgranuloma.html">Lick Granuloma</a> - <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-REP">Spot Treat Pimples</a> - <a href="https://www.ikat.org">Central Asia</a> - <a href="http://www.maine-toolroom.com/bassoonprofiler.htm">Bassoon Reed Making</a> - <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=BC-LID">Fast Acting Topical Anesthetic</a> - <a href="http://www.doctordog.com/store/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=B-176805">Pet Mess</a> - <a href="http://mccainindependents.blogspot.com/">Independents Blog</a>kmorrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902467449040313159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339597318673720677.post-29682832618849565152010-11-01T10:14:00.000-07:002010-11-01T10:15:07.484-07:00More Skin Care InfoA couple quality sites that have dramatically different product offerings are <a href="http://www.doctordog.com">Dr. Dog Pet Health Care</a> and <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com">BioScriptives Skin Care</a>. <a href="http://www.doctordog.com">Dr. Dog</a> provides pet care information and pet products with a focus on pet skin care. <a href="http://www.bioscriptives.com">BioScriptives Skin Care</a> focuses on the most advanced technology to deliver top of the line skin care products that include treatments for acne, rosacea, and more.
