![]() | Shipping Company Blames Govt. for Oil Spill SelectPlusShipping Company Blames Govt. for Oil SpillShipping Company Blames Govt. for Oil SpillThe Associated PressThe shipping company that owned the Cosco Busan when it struck the Bay Bridge last November has claimed the resulting oil spill was the government's fault for licensing a bay pilot with a history of drug and alcohol abuse. (June 7)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] The shipping company that owned the barge that struck the Bay Bridge in San Francisco last November now says the accident was the government's fault. Regal Stone -- the boat's owner -- says the government should have never licensed John Cota because of his history of drug and alcohol abuse. Regal Stone filed the counterclaim Thursday, in response to a Justice Department lawsuit. The Justice Department claims Cota, and Regal Stone broke environmental laws when the ship struck a bridge support in San Francisco Bay -- spilling 53 thousand gallons of toxic oil. After the accident, it was learned that Cota had a sleep disorder, was on prescription medication and had two D-U-I convictions. It is something that Regal Stone says the Coast Guard either knew about or should have known about before the ship accident. In its filing -- Regal Stone says The United States Coast Guard failed to 'guard the coast' by failing to disqualify Pilot Cota and instead renewing his license. The Justice Department refused to comment about the latest counterclaim -- it has until early August to respond to the claim. The Justice Department is seeking unspecified damages from Regal Stone to compensate taxpayers for the federal response to the spill. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****) ANCHOR VOICE:-------------------------VIDEO PRODUCER: Kevin White------------------------------VIDEO SOURCE: APTN/File--------------------------VIDEO APPROVAL:------------------------------VIDEO RESTRICTIONS: N/A----------------------------------SCRIPT/WIRE SOURCE: BC-CA--Bay Spill, 1st Ld-Writethru,0711------------------------------------ |
![]() | Obama, Rachel Maddow rip Palin's 'Bridge to Nowhere' lies Wasilla had received few if any earmarks before Palin became mayor. She actively sought federal funds -- a campaign that began to pay off only after she hired a lobbyist with close ties to Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who long controlled federal spending as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. He made funneling money to Alaska his hallmark. Steven Silver was a former chief of staff for Stevens. After he was hired, Wasilla obtained funding for several projects in 2002, including an additional $600,000 in transportation funding. That year, a local water and sewer project received $1.5 million, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, which combs federal spending measures to identify projects inserted by congressional members. When Palin spoke after McCain introduced her as his running mate at a rally in Ohio last week, she made fun of earmarking. She said she had rejected $223 million in federal funds for a bridge linking Ketchikan to an island with an airport and 50 residents, referring to it by its derogatory label: the "bridge to nowhere." In the nationally televised speech, she stood by McCain and said, "I've championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. In fact, I told Congress thanks, but no thanks, on that bridge to nowhere. If our state wanted a bridge, I said, we'd build it ourselves." However, as a candidate for governor in 2006, Palin had backed funding for the bridge. After her election, she killed the much-ridiculed project when it became clear the state had other priorities. She said she would use the federal funds to fill those needs. This year she submitted to Congress a list of Alaska projects worth $197.8 million, including $2 million to research crab productivity in the Bering Sea and $7.4 million to improve runway lighting at eight Alaska airports. A spokesman said she cut the original list of 54 projects to 31. "So while Sen. McCain was going after cutting earmarks in Washington," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, "Gov. Palin was going after getting earmarks." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/la-na-earmarks3-2008sep03,0,5932587.story Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state's political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. She served as one of three directors until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings. Palin's relationship with Alaska's senior senator may be one of the more complicated aspects of her new position as Sen. John McCain's running mate; Stevens was indicted in July 2008 on seven counts of corruption. Stevens had been helpful to Palin during her run for governor, swooping in with a last moment endorsement. And the two filmed a campaign commercial together to highlight Stevens's endorsement of Palin during the 2006 race. A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has accused Stevens of concealing on financial disclosure statements lucrative gifts from the now-defunct oil company Veco and its top executives. At one point, Veco employees and contractors jacked up the senator's mountainside house on stilts and added a new first floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom, the indictment says. Stevens became the first sitting U.S. senator to face criminal charges in 15 years. He has adamantly denied the allegations. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/01/palin_was_a_director_of_embatt.html |
![]() | Maverick, maverick, maverick... Keeps saying it and it might become true [The Republicans] are a religious and cultural identity party, primed to rally to anything their leaders say and question nothing. That's why they're so dangerous. They can do anything and defend it - invade a country on false pretenses, grind the military into extreme danger, trash the Geneva Conventions, expand government at a record pace, threaten war with Iran and Russia - and still say with a straight face that they are the party of national security, fiscal restraint, foreign policy wisdom and military pride. It doesn't matter what they do; these people believe in this cause because it is about God and America and their own identity. And when you have a major political party constructed like that, they can do anything. And they have. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/voting-for-the.html#more Curiouser And Curiouser: a second source confirming her past membership in a secession-minded fringe group, her lawyering up in an inquiry the AP slugged "Troopergate," and — insult to injury — another woman claiming she was actually Miss Congeniality in the Miss Wasilla '84 contest. TPM Election Central adds a few more bits like the fact that Palin "relied on an earmark system she now opposes", as well as supporting the Bridge to Nowhere before the funding was cut. Which, of course, means that when she said "I told Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' on that bridge to nowhere," she wasn't exactly telling the truth. And besides all that, she was a Director of Ted Stevens' 527 corporation, and hired his former chief of staff as a lobbyist for Wasilla. (Question: why does such a small town need a lobbyist? "Of 149 incorporated places in Alaska, just six of them had paid registered lobbyists in 2002, including Wasilla, lobbying records show.") Of these stories, Palin's past membership in the Alaskan Independence Party seems the most damaging to me. The Party's Introduction page has this quote from its founder: "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." Here's its platform, and here are its statements on issues. Among its positions are the reclamation of all federal land through homesteading, the abolition of all property taxes, the prohibition of all bureaucratic regulations not expressly passed by the legislature, "the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts," and a host of other things. But their main goal is the vote on independence mentioned above, which should be "a true plebecite according to international law, only legal Alaskan citizens, it is in the language of the people, federal military and their dependants are not legal citizens and will not be allowed to vote in this plebescite." (So much for the right of military personnel to register to vote where they live, like the rest of us. Although since they don't spell out who counts as a "legal Alaskan citizen", maybe the rest of us wouldn't have the right to vote in the plebiscite either.) The McCain campaign has been more than willing to question Obama's patriotism on the basis of nothing at all. Yet when asked about Sarah Palin's past membership in a secessionist party, "a McCain spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment." http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/09/curiouser-and-c.html |
![]() | To Serve For The Wrong Reasons http://phrequency.ning.com/video What does it say about Sarah Palin that in her first big appearance before a national audience - her introduction as McCain's running mate - she decided to flat out lie about her accomplishments? I told Congress -- I told Congress, "Thanks, but no thanks," on that bridge to nowhere. If our state wanted a bridge, I said we'd build it ourselves. Well, it's always, though, safer in politics to avoid risk, to just kind of go along with the status quo. But I didn't get into government to do the safe and easy things. A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why the ship is built. Politics isn't just a game of competing interests and clashing parties. The people of America expect us to seek public office and to serve for the right reasons. She did that? Well, no. When told that Congress had stripped funding for the bridge, she said she was still in favor of Congressional assistance for that and other Alaskan projects. And when that assistance didn't materialize, she got all sour-grapes about it. When she finally canceled the $400 million project, Palin lamented the fact that Congress was not more forthcoming with federal funding. She said in a statement at the time: Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it's clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Despite her claims to be a reformer and "govern with integrity", Palin has kept up her relationship with indicted Seanator Ted Stevens, the father of the bridge to nowhere. He endorsed her for Governor in 2006 and, on July 2, 2008, Stevens and Palin held a joint press conference on energy issues. As Steven's hugged Palin she said "I have great respect for the Senator... He needs to be heard across America. His voice, his experience, his passion needs to be heard across America--so that Alaska can contribute more." Contribute more to what? America's prison population? Republican coffers? What? Now, both John McCain and Lindsay Graham are repeating Palin's claims. In response to Graham, George Stephanopoulos told him "But Senator, she turned against that, only she campaigned for it in her 2006 race, and turned against it in 2007 only after it became a national joke. " Then there's the shadow governor, Todd Palin. He sits in on legislative meetings dealing with oil company negotiations while he's still working for BP. He took a very short hiatus back when Palin was first elected Governor but returned quickly to work citing the need for the "extra income". The Governor of Alaska pulls down a six figure salary and the Palin's own three houses - one residential and two recreational. Oh, I get it now - contribute more to lying to the American public. To serve for the wrong reasons. |

![]() | Paulson Says Crumbling Economy Is Sound U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson says that, despite the economic downturn, skyrocketing fuel prices, and the subprime mortgage crisis which is devastating Wall Streets most venerable businesses, the US financial system remains sound. But he promises he is prepared to take further action if necessary to keep the economy stable, after bailing out mortgage finance firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Speaking to the press about the collapse of financial-services firm Lehman Brothers, Paulson said the correction in housing markets remains a key challenge. "I'm committed to working with regulators here and abroad, as well as policymakers in Congress, to take additional necessary steps to maintain the stability and orderliness of our financial markets," Paulson said. Over the weekend, Paulson collaborated with the New York Federal Reserve Bank and the Securities and Exchange Commission to find a buyer for Lehman Brothers. He refused to commit federal money to any bailout. Lehman's holding company parent filed for bankruptcy. But other financial institutions are struggling, including insurer American International Group. Paulson was asked about reports that AIG wanted an emergency loan to help it through its troubles. "What is going on right now in New York has got nothing to do with any bridge loan from the government," he replied. |

Vote? Protest? Participate in a rally? Walk all the way across the country? We are. This summer, a group of activists will be walking across America to achieve more freedom and liberty. Our pioneer forefathers trekked across the continent from the east to the west to find a better life for themselves. This time, we're doing it in reverse. I am walking coast-to-coast across the country, from Oregon to New Hampshire. I am joined by my immediate family as well. We're on a quest to gain more freedom for ourselves and for our country by spreading the message of freedom and liberty along the way. Why are we doing this? We see the gradual chipping away at freedoms in America, and want to do our part to stop it. My wife and I are moving to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. New Hampshire is already the freest state in the country, which is why we are moving there. But we also want to help bring more freedom to as many other people as possible. Therefore we are walking across America to get to New Hampshire. We are walking all the way there to bring as much media attention and publicity as possible to two liberty-oriented causes: the Free State Project, which is working to make New Hampshire even more free, and Ron Paul's message of freedom for everyone.
