I want to become a member, but as many have stated – I will not join until a different payment is offered other than paypal.
Had a bad experience with my account and they stole and accessed my credit card info – will never use paypal again!
So don’t punish me man! Want to sign up – have access to all the groovy stuff – just won’t do it through paypal!

we don’t need no stinkin minimum wage. we need maximum wage laws. yee ahh.
12:02 pm
Thats change I can believe in.
12:07 pm
eya Dan!
everyone i’ve talked to this winter is hurting financially.

Nice. Maximum wage law. I like!
But as far as a common-sense suggestion that Repugs will likely take the bait on….
Corporations will pay NO TAXES…
…if the wage disparity between the maximum compensation to an employee is not more than, say 100x (to be generous) the compensation of the lowest paid employee (with the definition of employee expanded to include temporary workers, part-timers (adjusted to what they would be getting if they worked 40 hrs), contractors, etc.) at that company (definition expanded to include holding/parent companies).
The repugs will go for the “no corporate taxes” bait (it is up to the company to make the decision for themselves if they want to take advantage of the opportunity). The only trick will be making it iron-clad enough that there isn’t a loophole for corps to find some way to compensate ourside the range and still pay no taxes.
What do you think, sirs?
(yes, still some details to be worked out I know)

EPA released the a major Chesapeake Bay clean up plan involving the 6 states in the watershed, a actual plan in which they can force the states to comply. I hope they stick to the plan and hold them damn states feet to the fire.
I’m looking at you Penn and West Virginia. Stop polluting our bay. lol
12:05 pm
“an actual plan in which they can force the states to comply. ”
we’ll see, it would be a miracle if they actually did.
12:20 pm
I am very skeptical too, but the Cheasepeake bay Foundation(they aint not pushovers) said they plan was a great start and they are going to fight tooth and nail to make sure its fullfilled. I can only hope I guess.
12:31 pm
right on.
i’m an old STEP Streamkeeper myself.

With regard to the squeaky closet door; have you never heard of grease? I am sure someone there has Vaseline somewhere in their household, just put some on the hinges and get rid of the squeak.
There’s a big chunk of the Democrats who really want to do the same as the GOP which is to destroy the middle class. They’ll act like the GOP has them by the balls and say things like ‘What else can we do?’ while they vote with the GOP for the destruction of the middle class.

Scientists Create 52 Artificial Rain Storms in Abu Dhabi Desert
http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/03/scientists-create-52-artificial-rain-storms-in-abu-dhabi-desert/
“As part of a secret program to control the weather in the Middle East, scientists working for the United Arab Emirates government artificially created rain where rain is generally nowhere to be found. The $11 million project, which began in July, put steel lampshade-looking ionizers in the desert to produce charged particles. The negatively charged ions rose with the hot air, attracting dust. Moisture then condensed around the dust and eventually produced a rain cloud. A bunch of rain clouds.”

Thats crazy, I remember reading something about the Russians controling the weather around Moscow somehow too. Ill have to look into that again.
If that technology works they could be able to to bring water to arrid lands that were not farmable. Interesting concept.
