  1. When you are pulled over for speeding or some minor traffic infraction, you are technically under a state of arrest until released at the officer's discretion. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
  2. But, "Let's deflect from the subject" does mean "I really don't have a valid leg to stand on" Um...ahem...that would be me... You have one valid leg . . . left . . . nope - left one ios gone - is that why you lean to the right? LMAO...my left leg is fake...so, leaning left is clearly insincere and false... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

  5. California is already boycotting itself...note the tangle in politicians/debt/and exodus of 3000 people per week.... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

  7. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/17/photos-al-goree-new-8875_n_579286.html I'm sure this has a minimal carbon footprint. This, along with his mansion in Nashville... He's a common man, looking out for the downtrodden and the polar bears. He's looking out for you! Yeah! So good that he practices as he preaches.

  8. No different than LA breaking its contracts with Arizona based companies/services in its boycott. That's a fair point. My only response is pure speculation. The article quoted in the original post refers to "future" contracts. LA could simply not renew present contracts that may have an expiration date. This would not be breach. But if the AZ power compnies breach their contract(s) to supply power to Cal. cities this summer, they will likely get the crap kicked out of them in the lawsuits that are sure to follow. But you are right -- if LA breaches present, binding contracts it has with AZ cities, it will get sued as well and probably lose. Any other lawyers who know more about this than I do, your input would be helpful. You're probably correct. However, with power generation being what it is, I think that there are several clauses that relate to "shock" factors to initiate renegotiation. Here's the letter from Commissioner Pierce...

  12. I don't think it will actually happen, but honestly, it may be the painful message that needs to be sent to LA. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
  13. I liked this question: Though the little icon thing was straddling the line between Libertarian and Capitalist...so... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
  14. This is a funny post, especially in the context of someone who is a Commissioned Officer in the Army...and therefore expected to bring forth a set doctrine, which, among other things, mandates behavior, actions, and even thought to a degree. Don't get me wrong, I understand your post, and even agree with most of it, but I was just citing the irony score that's all...

  19. Just noticed that mistake...wanted to fix it for you. Thanks I did not want to take the time to look it up and I did not want to exagerate the amount But I have to admit, I did not remember millions

  22. Good question - What IS going onb here - and the only response offered to that is "Once again, I'll say . . ." Say what? Say that you are arguing against a law that you have not even read? nice - well done state department - apologize to China for something you have NO IDEA of which you speak. It's China. How many millions have been killed since the revolution? Tibet? Basic civil rights? What the hell are we apologizing for?

  24. The video on page 2 pretty much removes any "confusion" that the article is trying to apologize for. What pisses me off most about this is that Blumenthal is a Marine (reservist or not) and is a very talented lawyer. There was no need for this to come under scrutiny...if only he had chosen his words more carefully. I don't fault those that served, in whatever capacity as long as they did so honorably. I have no reason to doubt that Blumenthal did not fulfill his commitment honorably. His statements (and I've heard them first-hand) about serving in Vietnam (I had no reason to doubt him at the time) expose an element of his character...now everything is up for question...

  25. It's just their way of saying they don't feel they can afford you, or, they think you won't have any longevity once the economy turns around. Push back and probe their discomfort.
