REMEMBER THAT KEYSTONE PIPELINE?

The controversial pipeline got a shot at life this week when Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman approved a new route for it through his state.  "Construction and operation of the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, with the mitigation and commitments from Keystone would have minimal environmental impacts in Nebraska," he wrote in a letter to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who have opposed the pipeline and done everything possible to scuttle it in the past.  The State Department will eventually make a recommendation to the President.

COMMENTS:

It seems to me that the illustrious Jeremiah Wright said something about “all of the chickens coming home to roost.”  Obama pushed so many things past the November elections for obvious political reasons, and now he has to face them.  Just wait until Americans find out how badly ObamaCare and the new taxes are going to screw their pocketbooks.  As for the pipeline, I figure he’ll find a way to do a fancy two-step around the problem. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. What’s your opinion of the House plan to kick the debt ceiling and budget crisis down the road until May?  (Annette ~ Vallejo, CA)

A. Well, they think they’re going to pressure the Senate to pass a budget.  Here they go again; here’s how the game will be played.  The Senate will pass a budget the Republicans can’t possibly live with; the House will turn it down and get blamed for not playing ball.  Then, they’ll cave in and give the President what he wants… unfettered ability to spend, spend and spend.  You know, everyone I talk to is so sick and tired of this crap.  Maybe if the Republican Party would just go ahead and implode, they could build a decent political party out of the ashes.  I’ll bring the marsh mellows. 

Q. More and more people are in favor of legalized abortion.  Is that really good for the country?  (Danielle ~ Escondido, CA)

A. Anytime you have a weakening of the moral fiber of society, that’s bad.  How can you be against the death penalty if you’re for abortion?  What’s wrong with gassing seniors at age 65 so they don’t become burdens on society?  You want to tell people they can’t have guns because they might kill somebody, but then you turn around and kill a fetus yourself.  No, it’s not good for the country.
