Eric and Big Sis are now pushing environmental justice. They looked at the polls and saw that their only ‘program’ that polls half way decently is the environment. Not amnesty, gays or obamacare.

Their stretch on steroids effort to wrap it around national security is exactly the kind of thing that will put another nail into the coffin of the environmental ‘movement’.

I fell asleep one day and woke up inside a Far Side cartoon.

We are so far beyond screwed, I don't even know what it's called...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Holder's community activities include 'Save the Children' and his long time membership in the organization 'Concerned Black Men'.

While in law school, Holder clerked at the N.A.A.C.P. He continues to work at a law firm which represented the NFL during its investigation of quarterback Michael Vick

Just sayin.

Darrell Issa will have fun with DOJ in 2011. I dont think Holder will last long.

“Environmental Justice” is not supposed to be limited to race, but also to economically disadvantaged communities. Although it should take into consideration the cost of the damned environmental regulations themselves to such communities, it conveniently does not. Rural communities pay a disproportionate share of the costs of these regulations and bear the social and economic impacts of their restrictions. THAT should be considered under so called “environmental justice.”

All I have seen so far from EJ is state sponsored politicization of issues providing leverage for one racial group against neighboring poor communities to undermine their property rights.

The sheer amount of idiocy that spews forth from Holder’s lips near daily is beyond astounding.....more deserving of one being taking out back of a shed and being well, umm, you know.... =.=

MLK invented agriculture, philosophy and mathematics and will come again to raise us from the dead.

I think this is a right and fitting tribute to MLK by the left. That is, to be used after death to trumpet causes they knew little about in life, and cared for less. It dilutes their original message, and makes them two dimensional. It is like dying twice.

Of course, the worst would be to use MLK in advertisements, to tout crap blatantly targeting the black community. Things like menthol cigarettes and malt liquor.
