When it comes to the media, Republicans know the only way to survive is adapt and improvise. Only the arrogant Democrats think they should control what the press says, and that’s because they’ve had it their way for so long.

I’ve noticed this, for years, when arguing with libs.

They’re not used to having to provide any sort of logical defense of their ideology (well, because there IS no logical defense of liberal ideology),

and are baffled and turn to intimidation and personal attacks when challenged to defend it.

“Senator Reid, are you familiar with the term ‘9%’?”

Reid and Pelosi are cracking under the pressure.

It’s fun to watch.

Reid: The perfect running mate for Obama


He'd add experience, maturity and gravitas to the ticket.

So would Nancy Pelosi, but California isn't in play.

Senator Reid is arrogance personified. In fact, his photo should be in the dictionary next to the word.

My thoughts exactly. When did he box - as a third grader. I can’t imagine his scrawny butt getting into a ring and making it past the opening bell.

Reid spokesman Jim Manley later told the reporter his boss's comments were a show of "frustration," not desperation.

Just fall off the turnip truck we did not.

I think I’ll spend an hour calling Reid’s office like I did yesterday. He is such a jerk!

he praised mayor antonio villaraigosa for his energy views.

the mayor is an opportunist.

Actually Antonio Villaraigosa is a mexican racist. He should have been kicked out of office for his closed door meetings with mexican president Felipe De Jesus Calderon Hinojosa. The mayor is also a member of la raza, an extremely virulent mexican racist cult.

hmmm...
Why is pickens so interested in wind now?

T Boone Pickens is famous for thinking big. He founded his Texan oil company, Mesa Petroleum, in 1956 with just $2,500 in the bank. After a string of audacious takeovers he turned it into an independent empire that challenged the big oil companies, and today he is worth $3bn.

Now this straight-talking Southerner is launching the biggest and most audacious project of his career. This month he will make the first down payment on 500 wind turbines at a cost of $2m each. The order is the first material step towards his goal of building the world's largest wind farm.

Over the next four years he intends to erect 2,700 turbines across 200,000 acres of the Texan panhandle. The scheme is five times bigger than the world's current record-holding wind farm and when finished will supply 4,000 megawatts of electricity - enough to power about one million homes.

"Don't get the idea that I've turned green," Pickens tells the Guardian in the Dallas offices of his new venture Mesa Power. "My business is making money, and I think this is going to make a lot of money."

which include a bill to reign in speculation

That should be 'rein', unless Reid plans to personally dominate the oil speculation market like it was, oh I dunno, real estate.

Does this turd realize that if the US starting drilling ferviously, the futures market he is trying to kill would be driving the cost of oil down very quickly

How does one drill "ferviously?" Sounds like a word from a Dr. Seuss book.

I wonder if futures trading is moved off shore how is this market going to be monitored by the regulatory agencies in the U.S.? All sorts of trades might, just might be regulated and have information gathered here but Dubai is not within the jurisdiction of some U.S. Commodity Futures Board.
Futures traders can be reined in, just raise margin requirements but whether this is a good idea is another matter.
