The odd thing about the news coverage of the future closing of General Electric’s South Valley jet engine plant is that it didn’t mention the ground water Superfund site that GE has been cleaning up for more than a decade there. Nor did the coverage mention that the contamination closed down two city wells in East San Jose, and was the object of the largest environmental law suit in the history of New Mexico. The state filed suit against GE and other corporate polluters for some $6 billion in damages, claiming that the contaminated groundwater would never be drinkable again.

Town Hall meetings all across the country are exploding with anti-ObamaCare protesters wherever Senators and Members of Congress meet with their constituents this summer.

The liberals are so upset about the Obama/Joker poster. Any sort of mockery was okay as long as it was about George Bush but they freak out when someone makes fun of their supreme leader. So Rush suggested someone write a book entitled “Barack Obama Is A Big-Eared Idiot.” This, of course, is in reference to Al Franken’s book “Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Liar.” No liberals had a problem with that. And they don’t mind when an art exhibit has a stamp of Bush with a gun to his head.
