From
time to time I like to see what has Democrats Underground in a
lather.
I mostly don't get too excited by the goings on there anymore.
I've
accepted (truly) that they are an alien people who fell through some
wormhole
into our culture, or we theirs. Anyway, it's like looking at a
roadside accident as you move by, gruesome, but you have to look.
One of the things that have them agitated is this.

.WASHINGTON
- An award-winning coal-mining activist was questioned for 45 minutes
by police on suspicion of child pornography after U.S. Rep. Doug
Lamborn's energy and mineral resources subcommittee decided a photo she
submitted of a child in foul bathwater was inappropriate.
Maria Gunnoe of West Virginia had been invited by Lamborn - a Colorado
Springs Republican and the subcommittee's chairman - to testify at his
hearing Friday on the Spruce Coal Mine in her state. It was the fourth
time Gunnoe had been in front of the committee and the second time she
had been there at the behest of Lamborn. blah-blah-blah

I don't know about coal mining hearings, but given Obama's war
on coal
(or any energy production) in the U.S.), it's no surprise that there
are hearings. The DU story paints a a lurid picture of Lamborn
and
other Republicans ("shows that their
minds are right there in the
gutter beside their hearts"). Reading from the
Congressional record
however paints a different picture of Maria Gunnoe of West
Virginia.

County WV and I (like 100’s of others) help to represent the stories of

The Bush Administration sent word to W.Va state Department of
Environmental Protection Secretary Stephanie Timmermyer to get these
permits pushed through as quickly as possible, In George Bush’s words
“We need this coal, our homeland security depends on it.” The coal
industry was allowed to do as they please during the 8 years of the
Bush Administration.

problems that the Bush administration created and then ignored. ...

One suspects that Ms. Gunnoe also sports a Hawaiian birth certificate
(ahem), being as she is so "one" with that wretched man in the White
house. By the by, that photo
could be described as inappropriate if presented out of context in Pedo
Weekly
(although it must be said that some find any child photographs
"suggestive"). By making an issue of it however,
Rep.Lamborn changed
the focus from the motives of another left-wing eco-wacko to that
silliness.
ASIDE: Another DU concern, and
probably the effect of all our selfish carbon dioxiding, is The
end
of the Milky Way galaxy as we know it
"Now,
for the first time, NASA scientists say they know "with certainty" when
our beloved galaxy will cease to exist .. in 4 billion years the Milky
Way and Andromeda will collide or pass each other by so closely that
the gravitational force each exerts on the other will cause them to
slow down to the point of merging. The merger will be completed 6
billion years from now. "
God help us if Democrats ever control congress again. Or the UN
prevail. All our money will go to stopping this.
