If you want to know whose pocket a Blue Dog is in, just watch their votes. Every vote is like a report on campaign donations with these guys.

I’m not even sure that they’re casting the votes themselves. There may be a part of the Senate gallery where lobbyists go to operate the Blue Dog merionettes that they buy.

The reality of free energy goes mainstream. On April 19, 2009 CBS’ 60 Minutes broadcasted a segment on Cold Fusion. Not only do they speak optimistically, they also state the Pentagon verified the free energy claims! The MUST SEE CBS video and article are linked below:

Cold Fusion Is Hot Again
60 Minutes: Once Considered Junk Science, Cold Fusion Gets A Second Look By Researchers

Why was this technology suppressed for 20 years? Why does Obama still suppress the technology? See here for answers:

Bayh is the worst kind of politican. He goes which ever way the wind blo….. his owners tell him to go. He is plastic to the extreme. He was wetting his pants hoping Hillary Clinton would select him for her running mate. What a loser the guys is. Can’t stand to see him on TV. Way too boring.

And not surprising Peabody energy is one of the worlds largest coal trading companies.

Boy, that brings back memories of John Prine, ‘Mr. Peabody’s Coal Train? Great song.

Remember this line from another of his tunes?…
‘Throw out your TV
Eat a lot of peaches
Try & find Jesus
On your own’

Xisithrus, funny I just finished a piece on gas prices. Your Goldman Sachs observation adds much to “the factors” determining oil/gasoline prices.

Indeed. Evan ‘non-renewable’ Bayh and whats more curious is that Indiana grows alot of corn.

Xisithrus Says:

So Bayh says he is concerned about costs to Indiana but, it seems to me, has no problem with oil [non-renewable energy] speculators driving up costs for everyone.

Bayhs biggest supporter Goldman Sachs $123,750

All this is well and official. But how today’s oil prices are really determined is done by a process so opaque only a handful of major oil trading banks such as Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley have any idea who is buying and who selling oil futures or derivative contracts that set physical oil prices in this strange new world of “paper oil.” -Engdahl

Bayh and Nelson need to quit the Democratic Party and become the Republicans they really are. Then they will be defeated in their next election and we can have real Democrats in their place.

I can’t believe that President Obama ever considered Bayh for the VP slot.

Number 1 on Evan’s list is Goldman Sachs. The Carlyle Group is #15 and AIG #19
