Whoa! Aren't Spain and Portugal the next 2 dominoes to fall, when Greece defaults?

We have Greece's debt trajectory and we are shifting to the Spanish "Green" economy! WHAT COULD GO WRONG????

Your right Goldie... i think Reagan at that time understood the lesson they should all have learned from Nixon and the Watergate Coverup...
But i will tell you that the press didn't, (for the most part when i was present) ask him the hard questions...

Gone for the weekend...
And please, everyone take a moment to reflect on what this Memorial Day/Decoration Day stands for and means to you...

I was reading about small nukes melting wellheads, to seal them.

Maybe this has already been brought up but when I am watching the live footage of the leak I cant help but wonder why they cant unbolt that fitting and set another in place of it with one of their robots?

Shut down exploration and drilling, instead. Quadruple the oil tax, instead. Prosecute BP, instead. Pass Cap & Tax, instead. Destroy our economy, even more, instead.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity
by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for,
another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything
that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work
because the other half is going to take care of them,
and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work
because somebody else is going to get what they work for.

That my dear friend,
is the beginning of the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
