The Energy Department will begin laying off researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the next week or two because of cuts to its budget.

A veteran researcher said the staff had been told that the cuts would be concentrated among researchers in wind and biomass, which includes ethanol.

The movie Syriana is oh so true. The government must create the APPEARANCE that they are doing something about the oil issue, while in fact really doing nothing at all.

On this issue, Democrats ought to be speaking in one loud voice. Democrats need to be making energy independence our Party’s constrasting vision the Republican/Big Oil Syndicate.

Republicans = ME Oil dependence = wars without end = dead end

Democrats = Alternative / renewable energy economy = jobs = a real future for our kids.

Because Republicans are dependent on Big Oil, we are paying the price.

why didn’t you tell us this during SOTU, dude? I’ll tell you why – because it’s all about talking and not action… pacify your people…

PS: poor Barney!

First clue that this part of the speech was just “filler”. Cut by 75%? The Republican’s main revenue source? MmmmmHmmmm. Like THAT would ever happen. But I do wonder why they didn’t tell their Saudi patrons what they were going to say, and to just ignore it. So after George got back to the WH, a Saudi must have paid a visit,and knocked his dick (not Cheney) into the dirt. But clearly, everything said in the SOTU must now not be taken literally. Good to know!

Why do the wingers keep trying to promote AWOL Bush as some kind of hero? The guy skipped out on service to the country while Murtha saw a good deal of combat. Of course, the Chimp in Chief did prance around on an aircraft carrier with a sock stuffed into his crotch; I guess that qualifies him as a hero in the mind of a winger.

I’d better stop by the Dollar Store and grab another one of those “Support China’s Magnetic Ribbon Industry” ribbons and paste it on the back of my Hummer.

Steed: “TP makes up this:
â€œThe president didnâ€™t mean it literallyâ€ and falsely attribute this section of the Knight Ridder article to Hubbard and Bodman:”

Did you bother to go to the link? Obviously not. If you did you’d know that TP didn’t make this up at all and further more, TP did attritbute this section to anyone. Your reading skills are lacking.

“Asked why the president used the words “the Middle East” when he didn’t really mean them, one administration official said Bush wanted to dramatize the issue in a way that “every American sitting out there listening to the speech understands.”

Now what does that really mean Steed? It means “He didn’t mean it literally.” Which is simply appalling. That is the state of the union.

I love Murtha’s letter to Dubya. Factual and concise. That means Dubya won’t understand most of it. After reading the letter, I really wish that Murtha had given the Dem response to the SOTU. Great job Murtha. Keep speaking the truth. Thanks for the link Jay.

What a joke he is now.
Looks like a fish out of water.
I think him and his are the only people whose hardships I have ever actually enjoyed and celebrated.

Well, Bush said a truth: “America is addicted to oil” means that he wants to make New Borns from every american, so they will join Pat Roberson’s faithfull Bush voters…

Not looking so good for Peeping George in many other areas either. Scalito snubbing the pro-death Repug base with his first vote against the neocons. Japan and Australia taking their toys and going home. And perhaps aiding the fatal blow to our First Amendment rights…

The End of the Internet?
Jeff Chester

The nation’s largest telephone and cable companies are crafting an alarming set of strategies that would transform the free, open and nondiscriminatory Internet of today to a privately run and branded service that would charge a fee for virtually everything we do online.
