Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and cylindrical ones are called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes. Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings; but they may also contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings.<br /><br />The first fullerene to be discovered, and the family's namesake, was buckminsterfullerene C60, made in 1985 by Robert Curl, Harold Kroto and Richard Smalley.

Problem is that like a lot of things done by the current corporation that calls itself a government, it is directed at the opponent when it is the perpetrator who is to be feared.<br /><br />Senator Smith was a Ranger, indicating a donation of $200,000 dollars to the George Duhhbya Bu$h campaign.

It seeks to marshal business and labor resources around reducing the cost of natural gas, principally through increasing the amount of gas supplies that reach the region.<br /><br />The group's unveiling came in conjunction with news that three Oregon natural gas companies -- Northwest Natural Gas Co., Avista Utilities, and Cascade Natural Gas -- would be taking rate hike requests to the state Public Utility Commission next month.<br /><br />Portland-based NW Natural, the state's largest gas utility with 657,000 customers in Oregon and southwest Washington, expects the biggest increase, with prices potentially jumping 40 percent.<br /><br />The utilities pass the cost of natural gas onto customers, and those prices are spiking -- partly from demand, but also because they say supplies are tight.<br /><br />Kim Heiting, director of corporate communications for NW Natural, said two-thirds of the utility's gas comes from Canada, where exports are expected to decline by as much as 40 percent by 2015. The rest of the gas comes from supplies in the Rocky Mountains, where there is competition from pipelines shipping the fuel to eastern markets.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Sep18/0,4670,LNGTerminal,00.html">Finklea said his group isn't advocating for LNG only</a>. It just doesn't want to see options stifled by highly charged environmental groups or the state.<br /><br />"We're never going to be out there saying, 'look the other way'" on environmental concerns, Finklea said. "But we also don't need the state of Oregon or some group of hyperactive self-appointed activist groups to decide it's their goal to see that we tie this up so long to see if we can't kill it."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2008/07/28/story5.html">Read the whole article here...G:</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SNkB0CpnApI/AAAAAAAAEYI/FUAOEGdC-IY/s1600-h/124275-0-0-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SNkB0CpnApI/AAAAAAAAEYI/FUAOEGdC-IY/s400/124275-0-0-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249228834253243026" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Energy Action Executive Director Edward Finklea, here holding a picture of his natural gas-powered Honda, predicts rapid growth for his organization.

These sure look authentic, but like every other thing on the innertubes there are folks who call themselves debunkers just like the ones that were denying the existence of UFO's in the old days. Project Bluebook if I remember it correctly. It filed most of the reports where they couldn't be seen or explained them away as weather balloons, ball lightning, or just plain old hallucinations. All I can say is that there are two sightings that they can't explain to me, because I seen them. So it boils down to separate realities and folks seem to understand it a little more after sighting one...G:<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-5599847973386588269?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-2122266136491998622008-07-28T12:14:00.000-07:002008-07-29T22:55:45.438-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SJACHD1TKcI/AAAAAAAAED8/AzG3QwLIkZE/s1600-h/naturezzz.PNG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SJACHD1TKcI/AAAAAAAAED8/AzG3QwLIkZE/s400/naturezzz.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228681487688346050" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ufocasebook.com/">UFO Casebook</a><br /></div><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Majestic 12</span></span></span></span><br /><br />click to enlarge page<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SI4bIH9PduI/AAAAAAAAECs/h2H_aRX_RyM/s1600-h/mj1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SI4bIH9PduI/AAAAAAAAECs/h2H_aRX_RyM/s400/mj1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228146043812542178" border="0" /></a><br /> notes<br /><br />Attatchment E...?

This deep pocketed dude, Harry Katz, tape recorded a phone call to president of AIPAC, David Steiner, that revealed much damning evidence of what went on with lobbying and politics in DC. Not only that, but he gave the tape to The Washington Times, which made so many waves in the media that Steiner promptly resigned from, what was and still is, the most powerful lobby in Washington DC.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/AIPACClinton.html">HEAD OF AIPAC BOASTED ABOUT<br />HIS CONTROL OF POLITICIANS IN 1992</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SFBHBWrZyPI/AAAAAAAADw4/4r9H32e_lrg/s1600-h/steinerresigns.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/SFBHBWrZyPI/AAAAAAAADw4/4r9H32e_lrg/s400/steinerresigns.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210742857460730098" border="0" /></a><br />G: hmm ...I'll always wonder how Bill Clinton and Poppy Bush became buddies?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-8447714714187096648?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-54809834863240743732008-03-09T15:02:00.001-07:002008-03-09T15:02:46.147-07:00<object id="A2892878022829007360" quality="high" data="http://llnw.jibjab.com/content/player.swf?content_url=http://www.jibjab.com/sendables/api/remote/n6KtTJKLMxhhNN6WhUKDcr9j.xml" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="369" width="435"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="movie" value="http://llnw.jibjab.com/content/player.swf"></param><param name="scaleMode" value="showAll"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="content_url=http://www.jibjab.com/sendables/api/remote/n6KtTJKLMxhhNN6WhUKDcr9j.xml"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"></param></object><div style="text-align:center; width:435px; margin-top:6px;">Don't send a lame <a href="http://www.jibjab.com/sendables/category/52/starring_you">eCard</a>.

This legislation complements the President’s aggressive housing agenda announced in 2002 to dismantle the barriers to homeownership.<br /><br />The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Census Bureau released data showing that new home construction in November reached its highest level in nearly 20 years. Overall housing starts rose 4.5 percent from October and rose 17.6 percent from November of 2002. Single-family housing starts totaled 1,695,000 (SAAR) in November, up 3.3 percent from October and up 20.8 percent from November 2002 – a record for single-family starts.<br /><br />The strong housing market is beneficial for communities across the Nation. America’s families have been refinancing due to the lowest mortgage rates in 45 years, saving hundreds of dollars a month on their home payments. The U.S. homeownership rate was 68.4% in the third quarter—its highest level ever.<br /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.consumer-guides.info/housing/Home_Ownership/'>Source: Whitehouse.gov </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-1061994717700444035?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-7676517472950237492008-01-29T07:32:00.001-08:002008-01-29T08:55:18.719-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/R59HPZNq6PI/AAAAAAAADRI/SFZyWMtus7M/s1600-h/gonzales_passive.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/R59HPZNq6PI/AAAAAAAADRI/SFZyWMtus7M/s400/gonzales_passive.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160922027781712114" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/R59SzJNq6QI/AAAAAAAADRQ/P1n5Ehy5up0/s1600-h/GONZO.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/R59SzJNq6QI/AAAAAAAADRQ/P1n5Ehy5up0/s400/GONZO.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160934736589940994" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gone but not forgotten, Gonzo (the ex AG of George Duhhhbya Bu$h)is himself protected by Bu$hco's present AG who wants to postpone the whole thing until Bu$h can escape.

A department official signaled recently that the investigation is examining the possibility of criminal charges.<br /><br />But that, the regulator wrote, could take until the last months of the Bush administration, "when there is little hope of any corrective measures or discipline possible" being taken by his office.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.citizensforethics.org/node/30908">MORE</a><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-767651747295023749?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-66563074146704538272008-01-26T14:55:00.001-08:002008-01-26T15:02:03.770-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/R5u6rJNq6GI/AAAAAAAADQA/TGlj4ZP9hnM/s1600-h/whatever-it-takes-bush.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/R5u6rJNq6GI/AAAAAAAADQA/TGlj4ZP9hnM/s400/whatever-it-takes-bush.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159923048453433442" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://archive.democrats.com/preview.cfm?term=Bush%20Lies">democrats.com</a><br /><br />Bush Ads Faked Crowd of Soldiers - How LOW Can He Go?

Kronstadt<br /><br />[July 2007]<br /><br />One of the basic freedom issues that has united both left and right in the struggle against expanding governmental authority has been that of the National ID Card. Many European nations, particularly those with authoritarian histories such as Germany and the ex-communist bloc countries, have long required each citizen to carry some standardized national identification document that must be presented to the police on demand. We are all familiar with the motion picture stereotype of the Nazi or Soviet officer walking up to people and saying "your papers, please," but in the United States, people have traditionally regarded this as something we can all do without. We Americans definitely do not like the idea of needing something like a driver's license just to walk on the street, nor do we want cops asking us for a passport when we are traveling around our own country. Indeed, we are told that the Republicans and conservatives are the ones most vehemently opposed to this ultimate symbol of Big Government.<br /><br /><a href="http://shadowpress.org/national_id_card.52.html">More on National ID</a><br />.<br />.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-2377085884384148067?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-76001901482446400082007-12-30T12:28:00.002-08:002007-12-30T13:30:10.616-08:00<a href="http://www.wiqipedia.org/wiki/George_W_Bush">WIKIPEDIA</a><br /><br />George W.

It was built according to PA-NY-NJ codes developed for tenant alterations in the tower buildings. Building 7 was not hit by any planes but had some damage from parts of Tower 1 impacting the south wall. Because of the damage to the building and the failure of the water supply, after talking to the owner, the Fire Department decided to evacuate the building and not to attempt to control the fires but to let them burn out. Since it was a “fire resistive” building, there would have been every expectation that the fires would burn out without any local or global collapse. However, given that the towers had collapsed and that there had been a serious interior collapse of Building 5, there was concern, and the collapse area around the building was cleared. The building suffered global collapse from fire after several hours of uncontrolled burning. There were no known injuries or fatalities in the collapse.<br /><br />Now, If this article looks familiar you have to look no further than the comments on <a href="http://suzieqq.wordpress.com/2007/08/08/architects-engineers-for-911-truth/"><br />SuzieQ's blog</a>, where the above article was copied and pasted in it's entirety.<br /><br />The NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce.

We believe that there may be sufficient evidence to conclude that the World Trade Center buildings #1 (North Tower), #2 (South Tower), and #7 (the 47 story high-rise across Vessey St.) were destroyed not by jet impact and fires but by controlled demolition with explosives.<br /><br />We believe that this website, as well as the other referenced sites, contains the information necessary to demonstrate to all with an open mind that this is the case, and that such an investigation is warranted and overdue. We believe that the available relevant evidence casts grave doubt on the government's official story of these “collapses”.<br /><br />Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth are encouraged to take an active role by reporting the results of their research on 9/11 by means of lectures, articles, and methods of disseminating the truth about the 9/11 WTC building “collapses”.<br /><br />Richard Gage, AIA is the founding member of ae911Truth.org.

But the observations hint that an erupting star in our own galaxy, called Eta Carinae, could be close to the same kind of blast, astronomers say in a paper to be published in The Astrophysical Journal.<br /><br />For years, scientists have been looking for a blast this big, but never found one until last September.

She was a Bush Ranger in 2004 (re: contributed $100,000 to canpaign). Mainstream media wasn't enough for Bush &amp; Co. they had to control PBS too, and Bill Moyers was at the top of their hit list.<br /><br />For reasons unbeknownst to me Bill Moyers is back, and from what is being said he will be on every week with Bill Moyers Journal. It is easy to see why he has chosen Media Wars as his subject. Not many people knew about this program, but it's a normal day. It was only advertised on PBS and the internet.<br /><br />Here is some history from when Bill Moyers NOW left PBS</span></strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/112904V.shtml"><br />Bill Moyers Leaves PBS in the Middle of a Rebalancing Act</a><br /><br />By Joy Press<br />The Village Voice<br /><br />24-30 November 2004 Issue<br /><br />A few weeks ago, Bill Moyers, the venerable face of progressive current-affairs analysis on television, warned that the next four years were set to be a golden age for Watergate-style sleuth reporters. "I just think every time you wed the state and business together like this, you get corruption flowing like the Mississippi River," he announced on his PBS series, Now. Ironically, Moyers himself isn't sticking around to partake in the coming "bonanza for investigative journalism" he predicts. Although he's one of the few living media commentators whose folksy manner and heady background (he served as both a Baptist minister and a press secretary to President Lyndon Johnson) could conceivably bridge the gap between red state and blue state, secular and religious, Moyers is planning to retire from Now on December 17.<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Now has been a focus for right-wing ire from the start. Moyers infuriated the right after the 2002 congressional elections with his take on the Republican mandate: "If you liked the Supreme Court that put George W. Bush in the White House, you will swoon over what's coming. And if you like God in government, get ready for the Rapture." Using the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a body that provides funding to certain PBS shows, the right seems to be enforcing "balance" by financially supporting a raft of new public-affairs programming. Along with Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered and The Journal Editorial Report, there's a series co-hosted by "family values"-defending culture critic Michael Medved in the works for late 2005.<br /><br />The CPB was originally created to buffer PBS from political pressure, but some of the recent appointees appear blatantly partisan, such as Gay Hart Gaines, who chaired Newt Gingrich's political action committee, and Cheryl Halpern, clearly introduced to be some kind of watchdog. During the November 2003 Senate Commerce Committee's confirmation hearings for Halpern, Senator Trent Lott blasted Moyers's post-election commentary as "the most blatantly partisan, irresponsible thing I've ever heard in my life, and yet [the CPB] has not seemed to be willing to deal with Bill Moyers and that type of programming." Halpern responded: "The fact of the matter is, I agree." For his part, Moyers didn't hide his feelings about the new blood at the CPB, dubbing the new appointees "ideological warriors" and telling writer Ken Auletta, "This is the first time in my thirty-two years in public broadcasting that C.P.B. has ordered up programs for ideological instead of journalistic reasons."<br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------<br /><br />CPB Board of Directors<br />Cheryl Halpern<br />Chair<br /><br />From Wikipedia<br /><br />Cheryl Feldman Halpern is the chair of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). She was appointed in 2005. An active Republican, she was chair of the Republican Jewish Coalition for eight years. In this capacity, she has been a critic of National Public Radio, accusing the public network of anti-Israeli bias. She has extensive experience with overseeing pro-American media campaigns abroad. In 1990, she was confirmed as a member of the Board for International Broadcasting and as a director of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). From 1995 through 2002, she served as a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees non-military overseas broadcasts by the US Government such as Radio Martí, the Voice of America, and Radio Free Iraq.<br /><br />Mrs. Halpern has been nominated to the boards of national or international public broadcasting organizations by Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.<br /><br />Gay Hart Gaines<br />Vice Chair<br /><br />Gay Hart Gaines<br />From SourceWatch<br />Gay Hart Gaines is the vice chair for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. She was appointed to the board by George W. Bush in December 2003 for a term ending in 2010. She was elected as vice chair in September 2005 along with CPB chair Cheryl Halpern.<br /><br />She is a long-time Republican Party fundraiser. The Nation's David Corn writes that Gaines and her husband Stanley Gaines "have contributed at least half a million dollars to GOP causes since 1998."[1] In 2004, she was a Bush Pioneer, bundling over $100,000 for Bush's reelection campaign.[2] Other Republican Party involvement includes being a charter member of GOPAC, which she chaired from 1993-1997.<br /><br />Gaines came to the CPB with no previous experience in broadcasting. Common Causes' Cynthia Wexler pointed out that Gaines was "ardent fundraiser for Newt Gingrich in the days when Gingrich was really all about zeroing out the funds for Public Broadcasting."[3] According to her CPB biography, she is "an interior designer by training."<br /><br />Gaines is affiliated with several right-wing organizations. Her CPB biography states that she is a current member of the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation. She has also served as a board member of the Hudson Institute and was a chairman of the National Review Institute from 1991-1993.[4]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-7936595535144497999?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-43198140978491768122007-04-26T07:06:00.000-07:002007-04-27T12:47:00.031-07:00<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/RjCzBlcrtGI/AAAAAAAABZg/uT7ya8bWryI/s1600-h/1banner.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057739221350724706" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/RjCzBlcrtGI/AAAAAAAABZg/uT7ya8bWryI/s400/1banner.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/RjCzflcrtII/AAAAAAAABZw/BFi3essqUQQ/s1600-h/11banner2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057739736746800258" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_r9lhQTeVJv4/RjCzflcrtII/AAAAAAAABZw/BFi3essqUQQ/s400/11banner2.jpg" border="0" /></a> Bill Moyers Journal: Buying the War<br /><br />Explore the role the press played in the lead-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/index-flash.html">Bill Moyers Journal</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-4319814097849176812?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-89886599058397331652007-04-19T15:19:00.001-07:002007-04-19T15:19:24.624-07:00<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/o-zoPgv_nYg' name='movie'></param><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/o-zoPgv_nYg'></embed></object></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-8988659905839733165?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-1175305765917866672007-03-30T19:44:00.000-07:002007-03-30T19:59:34.296-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6898/3165/1600/636790/Depleted-Uranium.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6898/3165/400/379227/Depleted-Uranium.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A special feature by the Lone Star Iconoclast, a little newspaper in Crawford Texas, George W Bush's home town.<br /><br />February 28, 2006 7:19 PM<br /><br /><a href="http://lonestaricon.com/2006/Archives/09/news03.htm">HAVE DU WILL TRAVEL</a><br /><br />By W.

I can't talk about the details because if I did I might fall off of the fence. It isn't easy to do this balancing act and as you know I do my best to please everybody. Please accept my apologies for introducing the Digital Content Protection Act of 2006.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;"></span></strong><br />The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the FCC had exceeded its authority in creating this rule. The court stated that the commission could not prohibit the manufacture of computer or video hardware without copy protection technology because the FCC only has authority to regulate communications, not devices that receive communications. It is possible that a higher court may overturn this ruling, or the United States Congress may grant such authority to the FCC. Some of the major U.S. television networks have stated in the past that they will stop broadcasting high-definition content if the rule does not go into effect.<br />As of June 21, 2005, there are rumors Hollywood is attempting to sneak the Broadcast Flag back as a rider on the Senate Appropriation bill.<br /><br />On May 1, 2006, Sen. Ted Stevens inserted a version of the Broadcast Flag into the Communications, Consumer’s Choice, and Broadband Deployment Act of 2006. The draft section can be seen here , and the full text of the bill here . On June 22, 2006 Sen. John E.

I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss this important issue.<br /><br />It is interesting to note that exactly 52 years ago to the day, the world's first nuclear device was exploded at Trinity site, located on an isolated stretch of New Mexico desert in what is now the White Sands Missile Range. Among the team who witnessed that momentous event was Enrico Fermi, nobel laureate and perhaps the most brilliant of the Manhattan Project physicists. It was said that he was probably the last man of the twentieth century who actually knew all of the physics of his day. I mention it because it was Enrico Fermi who, prior to the Trinity Event, first predicted that nuclear explosions were capable of generating strong electromagnetic fields. Since then we have learned a great deal more about nuclear-induced electromagnetic phenomena and, in particular, about the phenomenon of high altitude Electro-Magnetic Pulse, commonly called "EMP."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-116121987568498015?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-1158265960517528792006-09-14T13:30:00.000-07:002006-09-17T15:28:58.816-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/1600/cable2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/400/cable2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.voip-news.com/news/broadband-legislation-gordon-smith-042706/">Senator Gordon Smith Presents his Broadband for America Act of 2006</a><br /><br />Senator Gordon Smith Presents his Broadband for America Act of 2006<br />Bill Aspires to Clear the Path for More Affordable Broadband Networks<br /><br />Joscelin Cooper on April 27th, 2006<br /><br />Senator Gordon H. Smith (R-OR) addressed the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association’s Legislative and Policy Conference earlier this week, and took the opportunity to present his Broadband for America Act of 2006. The Act is a streamlined piece of legislation that seeks to overhaul the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and offer a targeted address of four critical issues.<br /><br />Senator Smith hopes that the brief and focused nature of the bill will allow it to pass quickly through the Senate in order “to promote the construction of new broadband networks in rural America.”<br /><br />Senator Smith remarks on the objectives of the proposed act: “Leaving outdated laws on the books stalls job creation and inhibits the introduction of wireless technology that can be utilized in parts of America today’s technology will never reach. Today’s laws choke job creation with regulation and hold back innovation that proves time and time again to improve consumer’s options.”<br /><br />The bill includes legislation that will affect wireline video regulations and ease provider's entrance to the market. This point is intended to relieve wireline video providers of having to negotiate franchise agreements with cities and towns. It also introduces new legislation for municipal broadband that will allow “municipalities to band together and offer affordable broadband service in areas where private companies cannot or will not provide service.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/1600/broadband.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/400/broadband.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/05/07/con05238.html">Web of Deceit</a>: How Internet Freedom Got the Federal Ax, And Why Corporate News Censored the Story<br /><br />A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION<br />by Elliot D.

Joseph Lieberman in Connecticut's Democratic primary, came to Washington Wednesday to line up support for the general election. But he began the day at a Monitor-sponsored breakfast with reporters taking verbal shots at his opponent.<br /><br />Reporters asked Mr. Lamont to weigh in on Senate Democrats' plan to call for a no-confidence vote on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

In these times of the diminishing dollar we need to put our money in solid investments, like this one that I found on Ebay. The collectible market is as good as gold, and this book by George W Bush, especially the signed edition will do nothing but gain in value. Also...10% of the profits go to our troops in Iraq.<br /><br />George W.

Should be a pretty good futures collectible, if there is one.<br />This highly edifying description of George W Bush was ghost written by non other than his own communications director, Karen Hughes.<br /><br />Should I try to buy a copy of this ,<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/George-W-Bush-A-Charge-To-Keep-1st-1st-Signed_W0QQitemZ140007021404QQihZ004QQcategoryZ29223QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">HOT COLLECTIBLE</a> or invest a little more and purchase the <a href="http://mosnas2.blogspot.com/2006/04/why-buy-gold.html">16" bronze statue of Dubya in his flight suit.</a><br /><br />Hmm...According to this Georges autobiogaphy was originally written by a guy named <a href="http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2005/06/20/why_george_went_to_war.php">Herskowitz</a>.

Lets face it, we are going to need more energy and plenty of it. The LLL's (lilly livered liberals) are talking about conservation, while we are worrying about the price of gas. Well, the government is working on this as we speak, and of course has all of the answers, if only we will liston to the voice of wisdom.<br /><br />George W Bush has had a profound revelation on this subject, and has revealed the <a href="http://mosnas2.blogspot.com/2006/07/war-on-energy.html">power of corn</a> to a needy and grateful America. An America that has been disillusioned by bad science and such nonsense as Global warming, Evolution, and some of their weird theories on such things as the origen of the Grand Canyon. Well...Keep your eyes on the prise, as our leaders show us the way to health, wealth, and independence.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-115178335856685978?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-1150348649721601972006-06-14T22:09:00.000-07:002006-06-14T23:57:09.910-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/1600/andygettingbummedbush.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/400/andygettingbummedbush.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Have you read this artical in the daily Kos? This <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/6/14/02134/1479">lilly livered liberal</a> bunch of trouble makers are an embaressment to God fearing Americans like us. How dare they criticise their benafactors on our plans to enhance the environment, and rid the forests of dangerous kindling. Our gifted president has been explaining all of these programs, if they would only listen to the truth. How many times much he repeat it for it to get through there caloussed heads.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-115034864972160197?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29660337.post-1150221973680754342006-06-13T10:35:00.000-07:002006-06-13T12:05:12.453-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/1600/quakeyground.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6898/3165/400/quakeyground.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I'm beginning to feel like I'm on shakey ground, with my questionable cronies in Washington. There is so much foul play going on that I can't keep up with all of it. Hell! Not even Karl Rove can keep up with it. What are we going to do without Jack Abromof, Bob Ney, Scooter LIbby, Ken Lay, and God knows who else? I'm sure glad that I don't know any of those people.<br /><br />My concern is always about the people of Oregon. I believe that we should increase the powers of State government, so that we can legislate on our own issues, instead of being handed down laws from the Federal government. Such as the Marriage issue, and issues involving our resources, not to mention religious issues.<br /><br />So please...Email me with your grass roots ideas, and ideas on how to deal with the Corporate Government.<br /><br />Respectfully yours<br /><br />Ranger Gordon<br /><p> </p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29660337-115022197368075434?l=rangergordonsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geezer Powerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com1
