Published: Tuesday May 15th 4PM
Link: http://redgreenandblue.org/2012/05...for-the-democrats-to-keep-the-senate/

They got a reprieve from the Tea Party – which backed such extreme candidates in Delaware, Nevada and Colorado that they managed to shoot themselves in the proverbial foot. Now, in 2012, it looks like the same scenario is playing out again. The Tea Party learned nothing from the ideologically-pure ass-kicking it received two years ago, and is begging for more in races from Indiana to Nebraska, where to... read more »

Well, guess what Despite that gentl... read more »

Description: By James Howard Kunstler The New Urbanists held their big annual meet-up for four days last week and I stomped a big carbon footprint flying down to West Palm Beach for the doings. I don’t know who exactly picked West Palm, but it was at once peculiar, disheartening, instructive, and exhausting. The Congress for the New Urbanism has been throwing this yearly fandango since its founding in 1993 as a fire-eating reform movement dedicated to transforming the horrifying and toxic human habitat... read more »

Description: By Emma Newman As coal plants in the United States continue to close, local organizations around the country appear to have struck a blow to the industry. But in reality, as coal consumption decreases in our country, global demand continues to rise. A result of this shift in demand can be found in recent proposals to ship Powder River Basin coal from Montana and Wyoming through several Northwest ports. One of these proposals would bring coal right through the city of Eugene, to the Port of Coos ... read more »

Description: By James Howard Kunstler Europe may soon be choking on that plat du jour of government a la Hollandaise with the side of chopped Greek salad. The whole world, in fact, has got something like a giant hairball stuck in its craw. The hairball is composed of filaments of lies wound over a core of supernatural indebtedness. The lies are promises that the debt will be paid back. For two months, the financial markets have gone sideways on a cushion of the European Central Bank’s long-term refinan... read more »
