Of course (GAG) Halliburton was there with others competing for drilling rights. They say it's a 100 year supply. Rove was key speaker. (DOUBLE gag.) This involves "frac'ing" which is known to contaminate environments, and water supplies. [From the video.] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fracturing#Environmental_and_human_health_concerns

USA politically paranoid almost 50 years ago

These words are in the caption below this picture: "Kennedy's Catholicism was...openly derided." "...millions of Protestants, Baptists, Methodists, and other non-Catholics...believed - genuinely believed - that once in office JFK would be taking his marching orders from Rome." Apparently we were paranoid idiots even back then. DUH! (Echos of "Obama's a Muslim" now, almost a good 50 years ago! I mean, I've got MAJOR disappointments in Obama, but let's not do my usual digression now and I'll be even more scary - engage BREVITY instead of verbosity!!!) SIGH!

Small banks failing as larger firms regain health - Yahoo! Finance

Small banks failing as larger firms regain health - Yahoo! Finance U.S. banks are failing at the fastest rate in two decades. No, the financial crisis hasn't returned. Wall Street doesn't need another bailout. But in communities around the country, 143 banks have collapsed so far this year - more than all of last year. This time, the failed banks are smaller, on average, than in 2008 and 2009. The damage to the industry has thus been milder this time. Still, the wave of closings points to the persistent struggles of many communities and states. On Friday, regulators closed four small banks: One each in Maryland and Washington state and two in California -- one of the hardest-hit states, where a dozen banks have failed this year. As larger banks have regained their health this year, thanks in part to federal aid, smaller ones have struggled

The Face of an American Generation Lost.

Republicans in Washington had no problem handing over billions of dollars to their pals on Wall Street when they were in trouble, but they refuse to extend unemployment benefits for Americans who are still unable to find work in our economy. And even as corporate profits have reached back up to record levels, job creation has remained stagnant. The result of this is that we've created a lost generation of American workers -- those people who want to work, but can't find meaningful employment. Mike Papantonio talks with investigative journalist Andy Kroll, who's been travelling the country, meeting with this lost generation that the Republicans don't seem to care about.

A nice surprise!

I was listening to music downloaded from iTunes via my "Blackberry Desktop Manager" software into my Blackberry Curve smartphone with my earpieces so I could hear all the high and low notes, the thuds of bass, and great stereo sounds in the music, when my cousin Tom called, which was FINE. I was very glad to hear him. Thing is, I fretted that I had to find a way to "turn off" the music before it interrupted Tom! It WENT INTO PAUSE. ON IT'S OWN. AUTOMATICALLY. And STATED there until we hung up, at which time it picked back up where it had left off with the current paused song! I was very impressed.
