Obama promised openness and bipartisanship.

Obama sat in a meeting of House Republicans--all of whom got elected in Nov 2008--and told them he'd do it his way because, quote, "I won."

He said all bills would be up on a website 5 days before he signed them. Already failed. Obama's white house website is lamer and slower than Bush's. Bush had transcripts of everything Bush said in public up the same day he said it and archived over all 8 years by subject and setting--press conference, speech, etc--and searchable by date.

The Fairness Doctrine was a federal rule for broadcasters. It says you gotta have equal time for different viewpoints. If you have somebody on your station saying obama will cause inflation, you must give the same airtime to somebody saying Obama won't. If somebody says things 75% of the audience agrees with--"team sports belong in public schools, its all good" the rule means the station must give equal minutes to a view 25% of the audience likes "team sports are a waste, most kids suck" Since anybody can file complaints, the practical effect of the Fairness Doctrine is to eliminate politics from broadcast. Almost all political discussion shows date since the Fairness Doctrine was ended in 1987. Since talk radio is largely rightwing because that is what most radio listeners will listen to, Democrats keep talking about bringing the rule back.

And Democrats are adamant american will not drill new wells offshore, or on federal land, or dig more coal, or build more nuke plants, or put up too many powerlines...

With a cisco democrat as house speaker and the dems holding the senate and the white house ya neednt worry...in a couple years our biggest CO2 pollutant will be dung stoves and trashcan fireplaces

Is that any way to talk to your old friend the Yell?  after all the times I told you stfu and made it stick <sob>

Yeah based on the Census all 50 states will redraw every congressional district, and the House of Representatives will decide which states get how many representatives.  California has 52 right now, the most, out of 435.  Maybe it will lose some.  NY lost 3 10 years ago.  Even if the number of districts stay the same, the map is totally based on population density, ethnicity (can't have all white enclaves!!!!) and economics.

BTW the last census was conducted all year in 2000.  The election wasn't until Nov 4 and Bush didn't take office until January 20 2001. 

This is a dumb move by Obama to appease his political hack base in the urban districts.

Eskimo were always feast-or-famine hunters, read the story: they had a really bad fishing year

Yeah the debate about global warming is long over--your side lost when the models from 1990 blew up. Straightline rising heat, remember? Year after year of heat? Milder winters? Blazing summers? If you can't explain present weather patterns how the bleep can you predict anything? You're reduced to insisting higher CO2 levels from pollution is the culprit...but irl that is not homogenous in our atmosphere, there should be swirling BANDS of CO2 and its bad effects in our atmosphere like Jupiter and you CAN'T see it. There is again just a statistical anomaly AFTER you run the data past SECRET modifiers of global temperature superstition.
