I can't stand Mormons either, but c'mon...
Shrub's trying to slide more irresponsible budget cuts past us. The Denver Post editorial board had this to say about it:

Apparently, there's an enormous toxic waste dump near Moab, UT. Anyone who knows that area knows that Moab was carved out of sandstone by the Colorado River over a process of a few millennia. Now, the Colorado River feeds the water supplies of Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, and upper Arizona. A single flash flood could help leech toxic waste from the dump near Moab straight into the Colorado, and then carry it on to poison every major water supply in the Southwest and Southern California.
And in his new budget, shrub calls for funding for Moab's toxic cleanup to be slashed. I guess making nukes is more important than cleaning up after them.
It's back to the fish today. The ones with three eyes. Yummy yummy, Mr. Burns.

Ever wonder how, exactly, we were going to profit from Iraq's oil without overtly taking over the fields? The trick is making the US dollar the only currency the Iraqis take in exchange for oil. Just like we did with the Saudis in the early seventies. Isn't it interesting that Saddam moved in 2000 to untie his oil from US dollars and instead ask for Euros? Isn't it also interesting that Iran is considering the same move? Jack, check this out and read it carefully. You're a helluva good fact checker.

Doc,
Why the hell don't you have your own blog yet? You've got an immense amount of knowledge and insight to offer on current events and world politics. I don't know many people personally that are even in your league when it comes to talking about this shit. Get on the fucking bandwagon, man!
PS, this same topic is exactly why I've been fixated on Venezuela. Plus, Chavez is a hoot.
