ThinkFast: December 6, 2006


The Iraq Study Group met with President Bush this morning to present its 79 recommendations, which include moving “most U.S. troops out of combat roles by early 2008.” Read excerpts of the ISG report HERE.

Incoming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), who will set the schedule for the 110th Congress, has told members they “will have to work five days a week starting in January.” If the current Congress departs on Friday as planned, it will have been in session for just 241 days over two years, 13 days less than the “Do-Nothing Congress” of 1948.

The House yesterday “postponed a showdown vote on opening 8 million more acres in the Gulf of Mexico to oil and gas drilling” after supporters questioned whether they had enough votes.

FEMA “has recouped less than 1 percent of an estimated $1 billion in fraudulent or unjustified payments it distributed after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,” a new report shows, bolstering criticism that the agency is “too stingy with people who have real needs, and…too willing to give taxpayer dollars to scam artists and cheats.”

Congress yesterday passed funds to preserve the notorious internment camps where Japanese-Americans were kept behind barbed wire during World War II. Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA), who was born in the Poston camp in Arizona in 1944, said “those who come after us will have a physical reminder of what they will never allow to happen again.”

The conflict in Darfur has spread to two neighboring countries and is now in ‘free fall’ with six million people facing the prospect of going without food or protection,” outgoing U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland said.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans “say the situation for troops in Iraq is getting worse,” up from 45 percent in September, according to a new Harris poll. Seventy-one percent think President Bush is doing only a fair or poor job in Iraq.

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), the incoming chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, “will ask Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and two Democratic state lawmakers” from California “to testify about why Congress should pass federal legislation modeled on California’s landmark law to combat global warming.”

And finally: Doonesbury, this isn’t. “Comedy Central has ordered ‘Lil’ Bush: Resident of the United States,’ a cartoon satire that re-imagines President Bush and key executives in his administration as elementary school misfits. The title character is surrounded by close pals like Lil’ Cheney, who grumbles unintelligibly, and Lil’ Condi, who pines for Lil’ Bush and does his homework for him.”

What did we miss? Let us know in the comments section.

    Now, for something completely different:

    The Government can listen to your cell phone conversations, even when your phone is turned off! From a remote location, the Government can activate your cell phone's microphone, turning it into a bug picking up your every conversation.

    And with new cell phones, the ones with the GPS locators, the Government no longer has to plant a tracking device on you.

    A song from Police comes to mind...

    So when is FEMA going to get back the salary it paid to Michael Brown? I would list that wasted money as going to a scam artist.

    Yes I think it is in the interest of the world peace to get the troops back. Lot of the secular countries say that US plays oil politics. But I think at that time, the president was justified in deploying the troops. When nations are run decisions are taken, some may be right some may be wrong. The moot point is that decisions were taken and implemented. As a superpower its humilating to accept defeat from terrorist states, may be US could have gone for High Tech war strategy without the deplyment of troops but using Missile Technology.

  12. JerryTheAngel Says:

    In a surprise twist in the debate over Iraq, Rep. Silvestre Reyes, the soon-to-be chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he wants to see an increase of 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. troops as part of a stepped up effort to “dismantle the militias.”

    Is this what the election was all about? There are WAY too many Democrats who are supporting the injection of more troops and WAY too many who are not calling for the solution to the war, GET OUT NOW.

    For those of you who remember 1969 to 1973, when our country was ripped apart and we wereat each other's throats regarding Vietnam, it's all about to start again. Be prepared for it. It's going to get really ugly the next 2 years.

    And now, a lot of Democrats are going to have the blood of our brave troops on their hands also.

    FEMA “has recouped less than 1 percent of an estimated $1 billion in fraudulent or unjustified payments it distributed after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,”

    So first they get attacked for giving to little, and now for giving to much.

    As per your brief post about the the Iraq recommendations, I thought you'd be interested in what the public thinks in terms of foreign affairs. Generally speaking, the public consistently favors diplomacy over force in foreign affairs. According to our Foreign Policy Index, 61% of Americans favor more emphasis on diplomatic and economic methods when it comes to fighting terrorism.

  48. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    True, but if your one of the people who only has one for emergency situations, that works just fine for you.

    Since I hate talking on the phone as it is, I choose to never have a cell phone. Sure it’s handy to remind your spouse to get something else at the store, but I don’t feel that’s justification enough to put up with all the bad things about having a cell phone. And if someone were trying to reach me in an emergency on a cell phone without its battery, well, it won’t happen. Besides, I was just making a tongue-in-cheek observation. Sort of along the lines of “if you want to avoid downloading viruses off the internet, don’t go on the internet.”

    True, but it's often hard to determine who is in need and who isn't so they just give to everyone. However, from looking over the article, some if it is just blatantly wrong:

  75. Mark Says:

    Jason, Please give some support for your claim about Cuba showing evidence that they will drill in the gulf with support from China and Venezuela. Your statement sounds like the paranoid ramblings of someone who fears communism. Didn’t you hear, Rupert Murdoch said that China is not communist, so there is nothing to fear there. Do a little history check also. The last time drilling in the gulf came up the governor of Florida, some guy named Bush, lobbied the president to not support drilling. Something about destroying the tourist industry in Florida was mentioned. So don’t toss blame without looking at what is out there, especially when it is part of the historic record. Besides, ever flown over the Gulf? That place is full of oil rigs already, i.e. the US is drilling there quite a bit already and they have not been unilaterally stopped.


  76. chimpeach Says:

    Hey, robert, you gotta give Al points for going over to Iraq and Afghanistan several times now to entertain the troops, and he keeps partisan politics out of it while he's there. He often works and travels there with performers who have completely different political views from his, but he doesn't let it get in the way.

    Unlike Franken, the one time Limbaugh went over there, he used the occasion to bash Democrats in front of the troops. You may not agree with Al politically, but he's doing it to entertain the troops, not to try to brainwash them.

    Dear Roscoe
    Thank you for giving me the material for another chapter of my soon to be (self)published textbook Ask Dr. Science Anything But Dumb Questions.
