More Proof That US Selling Out To Tar Sand Oil Interests

October 4, 2011 by The Political E...

Original Author:

Another document dump - - the second in the last few weeks - - shows cozy relationship among the players, including American regulators now reviewing whether a major new pipeline from Canada to Texas should be approved.

With most of the oil ticketed for export via Houston, and not for domestic usage.

Not a good development for the White House and the public interest.

Water Under Pressure, From The Arctic To China To Lake Michigan

When it comes to priceless resources, our finite waters are said to be the next oil.

Then why are we doing next to nothing to be good water stewards - - from China to the Arctic, to Canada, to Lake Michigan, to Lake Superior, to Wisconsin wetlands and all the way to the great, Great Plains' Oglalla aquifer - - and why are we tolerating business and governments' disregard for environmental risks, the damage that is coming and is already underway?

Egyptians send pizzaEgyptians send pizzaIt's historical fact that Wisconsin was the birthplace of many progressive ideas, including worker's compensation, public employee unions, child labor laws, and more. Some even have advanced convincing arguments that the nationwide sports stadium phenomenon known as The Wave originated at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison during boring late '60s Badger games.

Now add to the Wisconsin innovation list this: Protest Pizza via Web. During last spring's massive protests in Madison relating to Gov. Walker's union-busting bill, sympathizers in Egypt and nearly 50 other countries ordered pizza by email for hungry demonstrators surrounding the state Capitol. The idea originted with sympathizers across Wisconsin and quickly spread worldwide. 

Pizza by Web has now become a part of long-form, sit-in protests elsewhere. The current mass protests on Wall Street in New York City are the latest venue. From a post at FireDogLake.com:
