Mitt Romney's new energy independence platform for the USA can be boiled down to two words: "Drain Canada".

The exact quote from New Mexico was, "Canada has oil sands. We're going to take advantage of those, and build that Keystone pipeline and work with Canada to make sure we have advantage of their great energy sources."

http://www.npr.org/...

Romney said, ""I will set a national goal of ... North American energy independence by 2020."

Simply put. Of course it HAS to be a "North American energy independence by 2020" plan. Without the "North" there would be NO PLAN.

Canada isn't just a natural resource mine for a southern neighbor unable to budget its energy properly. Obama called it. This...is an irresponsible plan.

Ned Lamont Won! Reward Him.

Against the odds, Lamont came from near obscurity to defeat Lieberman, a three term senate Democrat. Lamont ran his first statewide campaign with little support from the Democratic establishment, little positive coverage in the press, and one major press endorsement (NYT editorial board.) And he still won.

Reward him for running a fantastic race.

I posted this diary last night. It disappeared so fast, I felt a repost and a wider viewing was in order. (Mea Culpa)

The source is verifiable and legitimate (I have his email address if any doubt). These emails were passed onto me by my husband's mother. The emailer is a college friend working in a make-shift triage unit set up at Louisianna State University. His name is Bill. And his first hand accounts begin now... Read More

First of all, I'd like to say that I have not asked permission from the emailer to post these emails. I'm hoping he'll forgive me. I realize it's a breach of etiquette and take full responsiblity for it. I hope he understands that I'm motivated by the very best intentions and wish him no ill will. If anything, I believe his story and the stories he tells should be read by as many people as possible. Everyone should know as much of the truth about what happened and is happening in New Orleans. And the media can't be everywhere. I, and I alone, accept full responsibility for posting them without his permission.

Today's Telegraph has Colin Powell's first interview since his resignation. While it touches on his difficult relationship with Rumsfeld and his disagreement with Rumsfeld's plan to "fight the war with limited troop numbers", Powell pulls the party line - pushing for an American-European reconciliation.

CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI's weekly alert bulletin, sent to 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide, focused this week on the possibility of al Qaeda recruiting non-Arabs to carry out attacks in the United States.

"Finding operatives with U.S. [citizenship or legal residency] status would greatly facilitate al Qaeda's ability to carry out an attack within the United States," the bulletin said. Read More

I hit the theatre on the way home and picked up a 7:25 ticket. There were no lines despite a T.V. news reporter in the parking lot. But I was going with friends who hadn't picked up their tickets early. By the time we got back there, lines snaked their way almost to the escalators and the earliest show we could get was 10:30 - unheard of in Syracuse, NY. Read More

Bush Tactic: "The 'Extreme' Left"

I realize this really isn't a new tactic but it appears the "new" thrust of the Bush media blitz is to portray Bush as a rational optimist and his detractors (Kerry included) as angry, "extreme" and "wild-eyed".

Bush's new campaign ad - June 24, 2004: Kerry's Coalition of the Wild-eyed portrays angry, shouting men (Gore, Gephart, Moore, Dean...) and a swearing Kerry.

While discussing Moore's F-911 on NPR's The Diane Rhem show, Bill Kristol embraced the "new" tactic. In response to Eleanor Clift's assertion that the Bush family profited from its relationship with the House of Saud, Kristol dismissed Eleanor's statement and used the word "extreme" at least three times to refer to it, the language coming from the Left and the Left.

My question to you, how do we counter this attempt to marginalize and dismiss our valid criticisms as extreme? I'm reminded of what happened in the media pre-Iraq with regards to protests. If we're dismissed as extreme or fringe, we're in danger of losing our audience. What's our counteroffensive?

The Matt Lauer - Michael Moore interview transcript is up at MSNBC.

It drips of character assassination not journalism. Lauer is completely hard cross and skeptical in this interview. It's a blatant attempt to destroy Moore's credibility. Here's a taste...
