Americans Elect, meet the Politburo: An idea whose time has come (again)

Gang of (whatever):

A group of Congresspersons which aspires to compromise on an issue rather than admit that said issue is overblown, superfluous and a waste of time.  This is usually achieved by the Democrats completely caving to the demands of the Republicans.  In some cases (see Harry Reid) such caving not only concedes all demands of the opposite party but throws in concessions not previously on the table.  In addition, (see Obama) concessions on Social Security, Medicare and other programs are offered as assurance of complete submission. Recently compounded by the fact that the Democrats are now Republicans and the Republicans are seriously guano psychotic.

• Region 8
• Yellowstone River Spill

Yellowstone River Spill

At approximately 11:00 PM Friday, July 1, 2011, a break occurred in a 12-inch pipeline under the Yellowstone River 20 miles upstream from Billings, Montana. The ruptured pipeline is owned by ExxonMobil Pipeline Company. According to the company, an estimated 1,000 barrels of oil entered the river before the pipeline was closed. EPA is leading the response in close coordination with the state of Montana and other federal agencies. EPA’s primary concern is protecting people’s health and the environment and will remain on-site to ensure cleanup and restoration efforts do just that. EPA continues to hold ExxonMobil, the responsible party, accountable for assessment and cleanup.

Dawn Johnsen Award to Elizabeth Warren

And SHAME again as Obama abandons another candidate who might actually do an effective job.  The President is nothing but a tool of our Corporate overlords and never tires of kissing the large ass of the Pentagon.  Yes, I still am capable of being disgusted.
