The Center is where I'm at and where most people are. Another lying centrist. As one Clinton "centrist" nominee said to a female prosecutor appearing in her courtroom: "Shut your f*ing mouth." Another lawyer received this admonition from the centrist judge: "I don't give a st." That was the criminal's messiah: Judge Frederica A. Massiah-Jackson of the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. One time, Massiah-Jackson betrayed the identity of two undercover officers in her courtroom, announcing to the assembled criminals -- "take a good look at these guys ... and be careful out there." When asked about this episode by a stunned Senate Judiciary Committee, Massiah-Jackson first said she did not recall the incident, twice refused to comment, once categorically denied it (despite contemporaneous news accounts), and finally gave a cockamamy account of having been misunderstood. Only after the undercover officers had submitted statements to the committee describing how Massiah-Jackson had flamboyantly exposed them in open court did the judge begin to recall the incident with greater clarity. In "reconstructing the incident," she said she had been instructing school children present in the courtroom to respect police officers. The story didn't really hang together because, on account of being undercover and all, undercover officers would not be identifiable to schoolchildren as police officers. townhall.com Your centrist bullshit is commie pinko crap and like you I need no facts just accusations and innuendo. Of course it's cool to be a commie nowadays......you know that, don't you....don't have to hide....come out of the closet.

I can't wait to see Davis on TV encouraging people to "consume more electricity, we have an "unexpected" surplus." The clueless one strikes again. just a couple of percentage points of error in either direction can make the difference between a price-spiking shortage and a depressed market of surplus power. wow....could this be true?.....it sounds like an out for Davis...the depressing part that is. Freeman, the chief architect of the governor's energy policy, said locking in the power surplus was done by design and is a necessity. Reserves of up to 20% are what is required to ensure a reliable power system, he said. "This is a very small cost compared to what a blackout does to the economy," he said. $46 million in a month.....project it.....$550 million...half a billion is a small cost to avoid what blackouts....they happened last year. Energy economists say that current higher rates have already induced consumers to conserve, causing a change in behavior that will probably continue even with an energy glut. Ratepayers, they say, won't see the benefit of lower energy prices because they will be locked into paying for the cost of the state's contracts and its prior purchases. That $550 million will be in addition to the already high prices Davis contracted for and the "everyone gets the high bid" prices paid in the spring. Even the LA Times can't "help" dissing Davis. latimes.com

<<Do you care about the environment as a conservative?>> I was at the very first Earth Day ever celebrated anywhere on Earth. I learned about the environment, what pollution is, what it does. It was there that I first heard the word "Ecology." I go to more wilderness areas than anyone I know, and when I do I leave without a trace left behind. I recycle religiously (no pun intended)and do ecological clean up on a regular basis. In other words I pick up garbage that people leave behind them. People of all colors, gender, age, economic backgrounds and yes political affiliations. If nothing else I have learned that mankind in general are slobs. Look at the roadsides. How much do we spend on cleaning up after the slobs? Earth Day taught me to respect my environment. My wish is that others would learn that lesson. M
