TIDBITS FROM TODAY'S DRUDGE REPORT

Things have a way of popping right out to a wise old owl like me, and today's Drudge Report headlines had several items that spoke to me. My own comments are in red.

NYT: GORE'S BIG PROFITS FROM 'GLOBAL WARMING' (Excerpt)

"Silver Spring Networks is a foot soldier in the global green energy revolution Mr. Gore hopes to lead. Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy as Mr. Gore and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.

Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming skeptics, say Mr. Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in." New York Times
At last, a sensible reason behind this global warming nonsense.

In Iowa, Euphoria Gives Way to Second-Thoughts on Obama - NYTimes.com (Excerpt)

"Pauline McAreavy voted for President Obama. From the moment she first saw him two years ago, she was smitten by his speeches and sold on his promise of change. She switched parties to support him in the Iowa caucuses, donated money and opened her home to a pair of young campaign workers.

President Obama won Marengo, Iowa, by 14 votes last November, but some supporters are now second-guessing their vote.

“I really thought there would be immediate change,” said Pauline McAreavy, 76, a retired school nurse.

But by the time she received a fund-raising letter last month from the Democratic National Committee, a sense of disappointment had set in. She returned the solicitation with a handwritten note, saying, “Until I see some progress and he lives up to his promises in Iowa, we will not give one penny.”"
Millions are scratching their heads wondering why Obama voters did not see through him sooner.

Half of US kids will get food stamps, study says

CHICAGO - "Nearly half of all U.S. children and 90 percent of black youngsters will be on food stamps at some point during childhood, and fallout from the current recession could push those numbers even higher, researchers say.

The estimate comes from an analysis of 30 years of national data, and it bolsters other recent evidence on the pervasiveness of youngsters at economic risk. It suggests that almost everyone knows a family who has received food stamps, or will in the future, said lead author Mark Rank, a sociologist at Washington University in St. Louis." Breitbart.com
Working families need two wage earners as our infrastucture crumbles. 46% of RI state budget for welfare. This has to change or our society is doomed.

Water rationing for Venezuela's capital city (Excerpt)

"Residents of the Venezuelan capital face cuts in water service for as much as 48 hours per week, after the government imposed rationing to stem a 25 percent shortfall in the city's supply, officials said Monday.

Officials said cuts in water service were to be staggered throughout Caracas through the duration of the current dry season, which is not expected to end until May 2010.

Weather forecasters blame the "El Nino" weather phenomenon, saying the periodic weather system has markedly reduced rainfall and created drought conditions.

Others blame the shortage on poor government management of the country's water resources, while President Hugo Chavez faulted the excesses of capitalism.

"What will the rich fill their swimming pools with?" the country's leftist leader asked recently."
Venezuela shows that the statists now in charge in Washington can't even manage the water supply, and they want to control finance, industry and healthcare?

Similar events are happening.
The best documentation of this is a 30 minute video "Eclipse of Reason" by Dr. Bernard Nathanson. The former director NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League). He was thus responsible for over 60,000 abortions.
This video shows an actual D&C abortion with special scopes inside the mother's womb.

I've shown it to hundreds of adults and teenagers.

Usually people with NO STRONG "Pro-Choice" feelings tend to quickly become Pro-Life. Hard core Abortion supporters turn a blind eye to the reality.

Similar to photos of German concentration camps as Allied troops rolled in and saved thousands but also saw thousands in mass graves.
