Yes, it was just a matter of time. What makes it worse for the Republicans, the coal industry and Bush is that it makes those who fought Stickler’s nomination, only to have it circumvented by Bush as a recess appointment, now look like geniuses- again.
Here’s a reminder to tune in to The History Channel at 10 pm Monday night (in Utah) for their special, “9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction.”
There are four distinct 9/11 conspiracy theories to choose from. In the first two, the conspirators are members of a terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda. In the second [...]
The Monday morning quarterbacking on the Huntington mine fiasco began that first Monday morning August 6. Two Monday mornings later, the situation is worse than ever and there’s no answer in sight. Sound familiar? It’s been nearly two years since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and as my earlier post shows, the handling of [...]
