John Yarmouth, KY Congressman called Donald Trump's promise



to the coal miners, 'one of the most cruel deceptions', ever played in politics, adding that coal is 'just too expensive', compared to natural gas.
Think about it. Just stick a pipe in a nat gas field (or as a free by-product of an oil field) and it comes up under pressure, by itself, then connect that pipeline, to another one that runs to a power plant, where it burns CLEANLY and efficiently.
Compare this to coal mining, where it's dug out of the ground and transported by truck and rail, handled many times, and eventually turns into a 'dirty burn' that pollutes the air, and the land has to be reclaimed, after fouling the water sources in the area.
And you wonder WHY I can't stand Trump and the Pubs, as they try to ram this down our throats, to save a few jobs in 'hickville', where they need to learn NEW, non-polluting jobs?

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
