Rove's Ferguson Dream

Karl Rove, should have been incarcerated by now – for trying to destroy “Our” nation, not once but what appears to be a gyrating madness bent on “Destruction” at any cost. Being an opportunist, he is always looking for a ways and means to get even those that may have crossed him – which means many American's are on his hit list. And maybe what is going on in Ferguson has sparked an interest, wherein he may use that as an example to further his eneministic agemda. In my blog, Rove is “Public Enemy Number One”. He will do anything to disrupt the will of the people, by setting the stage to alter the “True American Vote” for his own personal one-man army agenda, by targeting those most vulnerable with voter fraud. Just because we sent his monster away with an exit vote of “Zero” confidence, he seeks revenge as he foolhardily believes his creation - George W. - was a savior for this nation and he cannot relinquish the fact that “W” was a walking living crime spree! So he seeks this revenge, to get back control of the political scene so he can try and change the course of history, and prove that “W” was our salvation man. Maybe if successful under a neo-conservative KKK takeover, burn all the history books and historians – to get rid of the true evidence! What a pathetic journey Karl Rove is on! It must be inhumane to “hate” oneself this bad. But the “fringe” allows it to continue on, favoring this “Destruction” because Obama is showing what success in office is all about. And Rove's most convenient target to further the “Destruction from Sea to Shining Sea” Neo-Natzi agenda, is of course the “Black Man” vote. And since elections today are too close to call even way past the “Happy Hour”, all it takes to hijack the results is a few disenfranchised votes, yes a few percentage not counted or manipulated can take a toll on an outcome. Look at how many suspicious votes are found following an election, bags abandoned by a river bank or stuffed away in a stolen car – never to be counted on! We can no longer trust the system, when there comes interaction by humans bent on unethical behavior. And stolen votes finds a handsome ransom – here in America! It is that close these days, a few votes tricked out, so a little Rove “Voter” fraud goes a long way. See, his college day pranks were based on “political fraud” with scenarios like “Dixon”, wherein he performed his own little “Watergate” by breaking into a campaign office to lift blank letterhead of a democratic candidate then applied frivolous language to scare the homeless away from the voting booths. And it worked! Now since he got away with that back then, the pranks have continued especially in the disenfranchising arena. Yes, he was caught red-handed and some homeless were never seen again, and today he just laughs it off. Look, no crime no time lets play it again Sam! Bottom-line without a missing fleck of guilt, this guy is a racist, he practices such for his own selfish white race only manifestation, so just put him away and we will see like overnight how things change towards the better. For one thing, police brutality based on stereotyping my take a change away from its dreaded cowardly disease, like that targeting of an innocent “Young Black Man” it seems everyday of the week 24/7, when it finds no longer support from the Rove “fringe”. Of course that is what's behind this madness to take down our “Brothers”. But today, since Rove gets away with this treason, the problem today with this continuing madness that should have come under control when he was a little punk is the fact it finds a lot of “loot” supporting the “Watergate” dreams and “No” laws or lawmen arresting such pathetic civil-political assassinations. Yes, Rove has boatloads of money from other “White Supremes” that believe the “Black Man” should still maintain a slave status. It means “Control”, what Rove wants upon the “Black Man” and what the 1% wants upon the rest – yes slavery is coming to our neighborhoods. Look at the destruction today around the globe, can't blame a “Black Man” for that can we – of course they can, as Obama is also a target. Look, when wealth and corruption are used to disenfranchise a “Single” vote, it's like an assassin at work – one bullet at a time targeting one vote at a time. It scares people, it has repercussions beyond our wildest imaginations to what a righteous political climate should allow and cannot allow today due this lawlessness. Why is this nation still today so afraid of the “Black Man” vote? Don't you get it yet, “Nothing to Fear! But the longer we arrest the “Black Man”, the longer it will take to amend past atrocities against a race that is as important if not more in efforts this nation survives. Look we can only survive if we embrace “Brotherly Love”! Without it, we fail and it appears we are once again headed down that apocalyptic dead-end. It gives me a headache when I see Rove still walking and talking the same destructive diarrhea of the mouth and gaining traction that the “Black Man” is ruining his “Dream”! But if we do nothing, if we let the perpetrators continue on their march to nowhere, eventually that “Nowhere” reaches the end and there is no turning back, and the real “Nowhere” man succeeds – just what Rove is after so he can rest assured that he was right. So sad it must be to live a life thinking you are an icon, that of disgrace and “money can't buy me love”. Yes, George W. and Rove were nothing but adolescent “pranksters” and today at least Bush has gone into hiding – good riddance. Yet Rove can't get enough, because he is considered a looser so his get even revenge is bent on “Destruction” - if he cannot enjoy life, liberty and pursuit of happiness why should others? He was the “Brain” behind George W. Bush. His final game plan before leaving the “Oval Office” called for an economic meltdown – Bush's going away present to America, because he was going down as the worse U.S. President of record and ruining the Bush Family's image. Many blamed Rove for this, so he retreated and has been trying to amend the past. That was the reason Rove retired away early from the Bush Dysentery Dynasty, to further along the economic plan of destruction. It required coordination, the heist, which is fueling today Rove's objective – to see that Obama fails. Since day one when Obama had control of the “Oval Office”, Rove has done nothing except incite doom and gloom against Obama. But time is running out for Karl, so he has now instituted a new game plan. It ain't going to happen, not on my watch, not on your watch, unless you are busy watching the FOX. Yet no matter what history will recite, his plan is already doomed to failure, but Rove is bent on pursuing his dream until death looks him in the eye. But he will try his best, the reason he needs to be placed behind bars today, in fact in solitary confinement. Better yet, give him a gun and let him go fight with ISIS. I would bet that if we did wake to sad news that an accomplice of the neo-conservative fringe was successful in taking down a “Great Man”, Rove would not be in shock and may be tearful – but with tears of joy. How pathetic, and if I had one question to ask Rove, it would be exactly that – does he want somebody to take out Obama? It is scary, and today I fear for the safety of this “Great Black Man” Barack Obama. Scary, as I can see it in his voice, see it in his mood, that Obama realizes that there is a fringe out there that recruits the likes of lunatics and out-of-control maniacs, like Palin that has no “clear” voice for America accept that of a serpentine bigot. That instead of this nation embracing Obama for the good, that which has been instrumental in getting our nation back on track, we see more and more of the same ransacking rhetoric. Look, the SS has its work cut out, don't bother them with frivolous attacks upon there dedication to keeping the Commander-in-Chief safe. It must be a very overwhelming job when we have a faction bent on “Destruction” - with the likes of the MissHell Bachmanns, the Sarah Palins, the Ted Cruz metal retardation faction. Why are not these idiots behind bars? And yes, throw away the keys! It is “NOT” freedom of speech, it is a violation of that right as we are accountable for that speech if it incites riots and cowardly acts against America. See, it's easier to regain a footing into the political arena of control based on make believe “doom & gloom”, so the sad-eyed crybaby rhetoric from the “Right” is a smokescreen, a narcissist decoy, to arouse the fringe element to carry out this “Destruction”. Now when Obama showed that the “Black Man” had more staying power then the “White Man”, well Mr. Obama's turning around the economy pissed many off, including Rove. So Rove went on the warpath, preaching like a perverted priest and has been trying his best ever since to unseat the legacy of one of this nation's brightest of Presidential and Constitutional Scholars – what a U.S. President should undertake, instead of engaging in fake WARS. There are not many that can fit the latter definition of the “Statesman Scholar”, Obama is one and I am glad I voted for him and have been enjoying life under his watch – not filthy rich, but maintaining, which is all I can expect when we must share things – except “Hatred”. Yes, the fringe can only share “Hatred” backed by guns! This guy Rove is not even close a consideration a “True American”. He is a coward, a traitor, a terrorist and an ugly bald-headed freak show. But his plans of “Destruction” now calls for a “desperado” like influence, by “Burning Them Out”. Lucky for America, Obama picked Eric Holder who has been busy following Rove, making sure segregation upon voters does not become an infringement by the “fringe”. The only way Rove can successfully take back the government...he can't, but will try so we best be on our guard. Honestly, this guy is the combination of a Hitler and Hussein and if he could would use chemical weapons to keep the “Black Man” away from the voting booths and the gas chambers would be “Open” for business for liberals. Look, this guy “Hates” America, there is no “Sympathy for the Devil”. Yes, he would kill blacks and liberals with gas and chemicals trying to exercise that vote, if that vote was meant for the other side. “Sorry, pest control do not cross yellow Caution tape”...“But Officer Rove, I just want to...bang, bang”! Rove believes that the “Black Man” is merely a slave still and deserves not the right to vote their conscious but should vote their “Master's” desires. Said again, this is one hell of an ugly human, living here in America. So Rove continues to loose ground, as his ways and means are “Destructive” against the framework of this nation, mockery against the Constitution. See, nobody will hire anybody that had anything to do with Bush, as liars are not welcome in most establishments. So if not wealthy, Rove must find gainful employment so has focused on the “fringe” and a PAC man attitude. Maybe he should sign up with ISIS, but they may not want his kind – no trust! But his new plan of attack to disenfranchise voters is a plan to incite riots in “Black Man” communities, cause a curfew to be in effect, thus limiting the times wherein voters would be allowed to “vote”. Like already mentioned above, elections are too close for comfort these dire strait days, so a few here, a few there, it makes “whoopee” cheer, and maybe not according to the “Voice”! This plan of attack was broadcast right on one of those stool stuck fake news channels, the one that employs all the dumb blond bimbos, like Ann Coultergeist! So this is the “ROVE” plan of attack, “RIOTS”. Look, we learned about the effect of burning out villages during the Vietnam War, napalm castration became something we watched on the nightly news as we ate family affair style. It worked, as it destroyed the will, and that is what Karl Rove has planned for the “Black Man” neighborhoods from sea to shining sea. And with a little help from corrupt law enforcement, this could ignite a self-sustaining movement, with curfews all across America, except in the gated communities. So Rove is hoping for “No Indictment” of the police officer shooting in Ferguson, which could be the catalyst for his plan forward. That will cause riots in many places, especially in “Black Man” communities, but perpetrated by the “fringe”, not by the “Black Man”! In fact, during the first shooting of an innocent “Black Man” in Ferguson, outsiders that work for Rove's “Destroy America” campaign were the goons causing all the trouble. Yes, outsiders paid to incite these riots, in peaceful neighborhoods. So riots will be staged with Molotov cocktails used to target were the voters go, and where the voting equipment is stored and with no money available to furnish new equipment come voting night, his disenfranchising plan will work and Rove will then have control of the entire Congress, control of the Supreme Court and Obama will be a “Lonesome Dove” without a whole lot of wiggle room. This is the madman's plan! In fact, huge detention facilities were part of the Bush plan, not for another Katrina hit, but when the “Rove” riots due disenfranchising hits home, it means a ways and means to put people under “House Arrest” - which we are already under when members of the “House” support Rove's “Conservative Victory Project” controlled by Rove's “American Crossroads” dream, to be the “White Man” in control of the “Black Man” destiny. We must stand together, so it is the other way around with a common middle ground. But when we have a law enforcement bending over to Rove's delight of “Destruction”, maybe we are already under Martial Law and Capital Punishment is next. Stay tuned, and if Rove fails, then we have something once and for all to thank that “Black Man”, it's called “Freedom at Last”! And YES, the “Revolution will be Televised”, just turn on and watch what the Fox has to say about Rove! BTW, I am “White” and embrace “Brotherly Love”, and “Hate” the “fringe”!

Mustang Lily

So Ted Stevens' daughter has come out of the closet to endorse a Monkey Man – Mr. Dan Sullivan to overthrow Mark Begich. Look Mustang Lily, don't speak for Ted - I don't care what the relationship, just jump in your Bill Allen Mustang gift and get lost. Why? Well over the past year or so, Ted has been thrown under the bus by Don Young – yet no one but this blogger has come to Ted's defense – and I was not a Ted supporter. But I believe in taking a stand when push comes to shove! In fact, after his indictment I ran a petition to change the name of the International to that of “Susan Butcher”, a more deserving Alaskan icon. Wow, the hate mail was overwhelming but the spelling from this unsolicited hate faction fan club of those opposed to a change was atrocious, so I have no idea what they were calling me, but 4-letter words indeed reeked their correspondences. Which was indicative of Ted's followers. Yet no one, not friend and only this foe has come to Ted's defense over this issue. See, Don and MoanaLisa MurCowpie have conveniently placed “ALL” blame on Ted for the “MV Susitna” boondoggle – the ferry nobody wanted, the ferry already built nobody wants and the Federal g-men want to get paid back $65-Million, because this was an abuse of the system wherein U.S. Taxpayers' loot was used in a scam. If today Ted was alive, believe me that ferry would not be turning to rust, as he would have called the responsible parties to the mat and demanded answers not more lame excuses. Yes, called to the mat with the “Hulk” a place you would not want to be even with a referee. So with that said, Don has blamed Ted for wanting this amphibious assault vessel not even the NAVY was interested in procuring. But Don wanted it, so went to Ted for assistance and Ted came through, what he was good at, getting his way in efforts to satisfy Alaska's needs. But he had no interest in the ferry, just using his Senator in “Good Standing” Capital to get Don a new toy. It is sad when a jerk like Don Young would throw a dead guy under the bus and with MoanaLisa remaining silent, she is just as bad – as this “Ferry” is bad karma for anybody seeking a re-election attempt. Look, it was MoanaLisa MurCowpie that christened the beast with a huge bottle of bubbly! So when idiots come out of the woodwork to support an individual far short a “Hulk” mentality, Alaska will get shorted in the end. Look at the record, Mark Begich is following in Ted's footsteps, just because he calls himself a democrat doesn't mean he has it out for Alaska! Your support for Sullivan is scary. “I support Dan Sullivan for U.S. Senate because of his compassion, tenacity, integrity and vision. He will defend Alaska’s interests and achieve results. Dan will work to put our country back on track with energy, defense and economic policies that focus on domestic growth. He is concerned about achieving results, not chasing headlines”. When did you pen this? See, Dan has a proven record of “Zero” integrity. And what is with this “put our country back on track”, sounds like another Obama basher. Said again, Ted was good for Alaska as is Begich, they are one in the same when it comes to looking after Alaska's interest – wherein party affiliation is secondary. Ted would go out of his way to get things necessary to keep Alaska moving along the right track - like the time he secured U.S. Taxpayers' loot by request in efforts to measure the penis size of a male Muskoxen? Which he said in an aftermath conversation you would have to be nuts, but if that was needed for some off the wall reasoning, Ted came through. What disturbed Ted the most is when people came to him with a need, which usually meant money was needed for something, if that money ended up outside its untented use. Ted would get angry but would also stand his ground that it was then none of his business once the money was distributed, as he thought individuals could manage their own responsibilities – kind of like believing in the honor system, it can work. That money daddy procured for the “penis”, it never was used for that purpose and instead went towards building a hunting lodge for a tribe with only 2-members, a husband and wife. So you can see why Ted would get mad, as a $65000 gift can build a mansion in the wilderness! So it appears you know nothing about Begich's record – like his tenacity upon the military brass in efforts to keep Eielson AFB open and many other accomplishments. And it appears you know even less with respect to Ted, with respect to his political success - as if you did, you would be giving support to the incumbent, just like daddy found success with that privilege. I am not a Begich fan, I was not a Ted fan, but I pay attention to what is going on, and like already mentioned, Begich is a definite substitute to what Ted Stevens stood for when holding the office of a United States Senator. Go ahead, make a fool of your off the wall considerations to replace Begich, but believe me we already suffered a loss, with Ted. We don't need another loss at this time! And if Ted was still alive, from what Begich has accomplished in comparison to Young and MurCowpie, I would bet Ted would cast a secret vote for Begich. As at least someone has learned well the teachings of the “Hulk”. Something Lily may have missed out on! As far as Dan Sullivan and that endorsement....

“Backstage the girls were playing five-card stud by the stairs
Lily had two queens, she was hoping for a third to match her pair
Outside the streets were filling up, the window was open wide
A gentle breeze was blowing, you could feel it from inside
Lily called another bet and drew up the Joker Man”

Clean Coal

I just heard what appeared to be a turkey with its head cut-off, or was it the squealing of a pig during a repeat filming of “Deliverance”, maybe a toad looking for a mate? “Giblet, giblet”. Sarah Palin at the podium you say? Anyway, Palin was giving a speech about “Clean Coal”, how ironically idiotic! See, another thing to attack Obama, blaming him for the woes in the coal industry and once again wherein we hear their side of the story and the other side of the story yet nothing in between that tells the truth so help me...! Now when Palin was Alaska's half baked governess, she had the opportunity to make this “Clean Coal” a reality. She had better things to do, like amused with “Toad” firing staff - isn't that her husband's name? I forget. But back then, non-participation and refusal to enter into this “Clean Coal” debate by inaction instead of action was not due inferior technology or opportunity, but by way of political affiliation with crocks. See, back in the early 80s when Alaska was swimming in dough due the fact that Ted Stevens' owned the U.S. Treasury, Alaska was the beneficiary of $millions$ in U.S. Taxpayers' loot to fund an experiment. No not a “Bridge to Nowhere” or an amphibious assault “Ferry Nobody Wants” or research money to measure the penis size of a male Muskoxen - for real - but Real McCoy Uncle Sam loot to build such a “Clean Coal” power plant. It was designed by a very prominent engineering firm and utilized new technologies, nothing secretive or out of the ordinary, just a good engineering design put to practice – we have the knowhow when push comes to shove! And this “Clean Coal” combustion technology worked well when subjected to computer modeling, so it meant the time was ripe to bring this technology front and center. And even back then, when computers were still at infancy, computer modeling was unbelievable and worked rather well to simulate all the “what ifs” and this was something that was a win for all – this design. So if it works on paper, it will work in theory put to practice. With that, a modern day “Clean Coal” burning power plant was built – courtesy the U.S. income tax providers – way up in Healy Alaska, right on the back-forty of a huge coal reserve owned by the state of Alaska but ruled by Joe Usebelli – through mineral rights allowed anybody with a pick & shovel attitude. See, mineral rights do little for the citizens of Alaska, unlike oil royalty revenues. I always wondered why “Big Oil” takes such a hit upon take-away revenues, when gold and coal are hauled out of Alaska without the slightest of penalties in comparison! Now this coal from Joe's mine was already being used in Fairbanks, at many public utility power plants and military bases in close proximity to the rail and was also being exported from south-central ports. So there was plenty of coal – and it was good coal, not the dirty coal we hear about today. But with mining, there is always “mine run coal”, or what others call “Dirty Coal”. It has a low BTU content, lots of overburden like rocks and old twigs, so it is “crap”. But to get that humongous shovel to the good pasture seam, one must disrupt the “crap”, thus the overburden is considered waste and stockpiled for someday recovery or left around for Super Fund appropriations! But it still contains a useful energy content, a low BTU coal and the rocks do indeed cause problems with conveyor belts - so it sits it out on the sideline. And who wants to spend good money on rocks? Now along came this “Clean Coal” technology thought, and thus a plant designed to burn this “overburden” was built and turned over to a state run agency, for commissioning. Wow, hundreds of jobs were created and if it worked it could mean thousands of jobs across the nation. It would invigorate the mining industry as in some states the good stuff was gone and all that remained was this “Dirty Coal”, enough to generate electricity for a hundred years. So Ted Stevens was onto something great, as this had all kinds of positive possibilities along with potential economic repercussions for the nation in general. With that said, Ted had no problem getting the loot of approval from colleagues, as this was something for all. So once the plant in Healy was complete, it was up to the state of Alaska to get it running, burning the “Dirty Coal” and meeting EPA particulate matter generation – a.k.a. air pollution restrictions, what it was designed to accomplish. Along with monitoring the production of electricity for a trial period – power that would be used to energize the grid and thus lower the already high costs of electricity to those living in interior Alaska. And since many of Alaska's critical and crucial military bases used coal but were considered inefficient and candidates for the BRAC list - the doomsday shutdown list - this technology could and would extend the life of such bases – by allowing retrofitting the existing power plants to utilize this new and efficient technology, once it was signed off. Alaska was at the forefront of a “Technological Advancement” that could demonstrate for once we are not beggars of loot destined for no apparent reason accept to fulfill Don Young's thirst for waste! And the cost savings by utilizing this technology would be unbelievable, as this “mine run coal” was about a 3^rd cheaper then the good stuff because it is cheaper to mine, but produced the same amount of electricity! But that experimental plant never generated enough electricity to light a single light bulb of a homeowner on the “Grid”. Sad, yes so sad. Not because of a technological failure, but a demonstration that some don't give a rat's ass about anything except what's in their wallet. Now this was going on all during Palin's political career wherein she was well aware to what was at stake! And why you ask was this project with such a potential denied a future and considered even today a gross failure? Let's face the facts first hand. First and foremost, it was not a “Bridge to Nowhere”, so it had reason to be successful. Well, hold your hat take a seat and take a gander into the corrupt ways and means of Alaska's political scene. See, even though the citizens of Alaska own the royalty rights on resources, the mineral rights for coal is like a forgotten bad dream. Now Joe mined the coal from state lands and made it rich mining our coal. So, Joe purchased an old and somewhat dilapidated power plant in Fairbanks owned by the city but still in good enough shape to generate electricity – but needing upgrades to fulfill air quality requirements. And the city was trying to get out of the utility business, so sold the plant to Joe and paid for the upgrades – what a deal. Since he had all the coal he needed, it was like free electricity he could sell to the local utility and make more $millions$ and become one of Alaska's wealthiest “Heist-Masters” and supporter behind the GOP agenda – to keep Don Young in office forever. So Joe started hauling coal to Fairbanks and making electricity. Now he was required to maintain original electric generation purchase contracts, as when the plant was owned by the city it had long-term contracts with GVEA – the interior provider of electricity to homeowners and under the watchful eye of the Regulatory Commission of Alaska - the consumers' advocate. Now that contract, which was still enforceable, it allowed GVEA to purchase electricity on the cheap – basically the city was denied making an enormous profit as the intent was for GVEA to pass the savings on to the consumers – which it did so all were happy campers. But when Joe took over the plant, he wasn't happy with the contracts and thought he could use high priced lawyers to promote his cause – those that don't give a rat's ass about consumer harassment. See, it goes like this. Joe needs a whole lot of electricity to run the giant shovel that digs up the Alaska wilderness so he can strike it rich with his coal rights on state property. Even though he now had a plant that burned his coal and produced his own electricity, he still had to sell then buy back electricity from GVEA – purchasing electricity at the same rates any other “Large Commercial” customer was held too by contract, which for Joe was more then what he was producing it for and selling to the same entity he was buying from! So he felt he was getting screwed! Lessons learned, read the contracts in force before signing on the dotted line! And yes, there was nothing hidden from Joe as the city told him this arrangement upfront when it sold the Fairbanks plant for pennies on the dollar, that the contracts were in full force and could not be negotiated. So he went to court, again all during Palin's political career and this “War” was intensified during her term as Alaska's half backed. Hey, Joe lost the battle, and to this day continues to purchase electricity to run his mine costlier then what he sells his own generated power to GVEA. Not fair you say, sure it is when you realize how Alaskan citizens are screwed with the mineral rights royalty swindling in effect. Look, if “Big Oil” was treated the same as the mineral guys, we would be paying an income tax, sales tax and that PFD would be a thing of the past! So Joe went fed up when he was disallowed to perform highway robbery and increase the costs of electricity from cheap coal he steals away from Alaskan citizens on a daily basis. Sure it's theft. Yet Joe thought the “theft” was on him and would find a way to get even. Now the “Healy Clean Coal Plant” ended up in a long legal battle also, as GVEA was the operator and that battle goes like this. See, GVEA has another plant alongside the “Clean Coal” plant in Healy, that uses Joe's coal. So Joe has to buy electricity generated by another on his mineral claims with his coal, and this pisses him off even more, because he gets no discounts! Now when the “Ted Stevens Clean Coal Plant” was completed and then as planned handed over to the state, the first thing the state authority – yes that AIDEA – it required negotiating a coal contract with Joe – for the “dirty coal”. Which occurred pretty quick, as there was no hassle over rail transport, things of that nature – a pretty cut and dry contract for Joe to deliver coal across his yard to the plant and make a decent profit. But the contract didn't specify a minimum BTU content, as during the design and trials of this new technology it wasn't known what would be the requirements of the coal to be burned in this “Clean Coal” plant design – one of the unknowns even the model could not capture. During the trials, it was determined that the “Dirty Coal” needed a minimum of a 7500 factor, or else the technology would not work – too much crap. Joe's normal run coal that he delivers to customers finds a factor of 10500, so there is the required coal in mix available from Joe's mine – just take away a little crap and add a little good stuff. So the plant worked very efficiently during the commissioning and met all the air quality requirements for coal that met the requirements of the design, as Joe had delivered coal that met the 7500 limits as requested by AIDEA's on-site engineers working with the developer of the technology. So it appeared that with the trials complete, soon this plant would be christened with MoanaLisa MurCowpie showing up as she likes the image of breaking bottles of bubbly, and all would be a success story used for future political campaigning - “See what I did for Alaska”! But Joe was smart and still looking for a way to get back at the state and realized that the “Coal Contract” in effect for the next 20-years didn't call for a minimum and that if a “minimum” was required, there was an additional cost associated with such deliveries - the mixing criteria - and only if it were available! If the operator of the “Clean Coal” plant reneged and said no to coal that didn't meet the requirements, it would end up being responsible for payment regardless, as it was a “Take or Pay” contract. Basically, Joe had the state and GVEA by the balls. So Joe could just say not today, with coal that could meet the requirements and since the plant would get clogged up if it tried to use Uselessbelli's crap coal, Joe was on the hook to make $millions$ in contract payments – for nothing in return but a lawsuit pending. Basically, since Joe was screwed by the state courts and regulators, he now had an opportunity to screw them back. And with only a single mine in the area and no way to get coal from any other source, Joe had the state by the balls even more and was making money while this plant remained in “Idle” due lawsuits. So the technology worked as designed, allowing for the clean burning of “Dirty Coal”, a milestone achievement for all of America, especially for states that held in stockpile or still in the ground enormous amounts of this inferior coal that so far had not been of interest to generate much needed “cheap” electricity. And of course not, that Joe would amend the contract to provide coal that would work – as it is all about the bottom-line. So it meant the GVEA operator requesting coal that would meet the demands of the technology, but soon the added costs made the plant uneconomical and even before a single hour in operation on the grid, it was mothballed due pending litigation. And this ended up a legal nightmare, with the contracts, with the players, with the state of Alaska citizens again taking the rap. We lost $millions$ with this battle, continue to loose even more and the U.S. Taxpayers received nothing in return – so shameful those involved with this mess. So this plant worked, worked well, but was a failure due “greed”. And yes, Sarah Palin knows all too well the history behind this fiasco, but now goes around the country tooting her horn that she is all for “Clean Coal”? See, when she was the governess she could have fixed the problem. She could have told AIDEA to find a quick settlement with GVEA over operation and ownership of the plant. She could have told Joe to shove it and threatened to take over the mineral rights based on “eminent domain”, she didn't and why not? Because Joe supports her political ambitions and crazed aspirations, it is that simple and today we can chalk up the “Healy Clean Coal Plant” as another failure – not due engineering faults or infrastructure cost over-runs but pure political sabotage. The experience lost over the last 10-years is so sad, as by now we wouldn't be just talking a ways and means to burn this stuff cleanly, but already building such plants based on prior “Alaskan” experience. And of course Obama would be along for the ride had this technology proven itself when he arrived at the Oval Office, as the only reason today coal is getting a bad rap is because of the “Carbon” footprint, and that is what the “Clean Coal” technology addressed. It worked, said again it worked, but was sent to an early grave based on political ambitions not in the best interest of the nation but based on a self-motivated evil calling card. So the next time you hear Palin out-of-control at the podium and trying to talk and gain credibility about her “Clean Coal” knowledge, ask her how much Joe contributes to her legacy, of going around the nation talking up a storm of fibs when her only role today is as a fill-in for “Bobby” in the recast of Deliverance! In the meantime, what can I say except we see wherein “Wealth” and the greed of “More” gets in the way of the “American Dream”. Dirty coal? How about “Dirty Politics” the Alaskan way!

MSDS.whores

There must be a cast of “aardvark” lawyers hanging around these days – those that were at one time gainfully employed in the profession but went broke due incompetence thus “Hard-up” for work so went to work for the fringe – like representing Sarah Palin, MissHell Bachmann, John McCain, the list goes on. Aardvark defined: “a mammal with a very long tongue and feeds on termites with no known relatives.” Honestly, lawyers have the highest rate of incompetence then any other profession but charge the same rate as high-class hookers? Look, you get what you pay for. So, I had an aardvark for Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council send me a “Cease & Desist” letter, because I made fun of his “Conservative Values Vomit Conference”, you know, the one wherein Sarah Palin taught the world that the U.S. President lives at 1400 Presbyterian Avenue. Yes, I made a derogatory comment about a speech given at the summit titled “Omnipresent Danger is the Obamapresent Danger”. Anyway, the damage has been done, as it was already posted on this “Blog”, under “Vomit Summit”. Big deal, it received 1x10^8th hits, as I received that same number in “Hate” mail e-mails, so my fan base is, well “sad”. Anyway, since the damage has already made its place in history and maybe Sarah and MissHell and Ted Cruz are in a panty uproar, I will amend my stance and give credit where credit is due – basically a “good” Samaritan gesture to combat the “negative” publicity. This usually works in a court of law, a proactive stance of taking matters seriously and doing everything possible to minimize the harm already committed. OK, so one man's prank is another man's harm – we learned that from George W., with that yellow cake scam prank, the harm rests with the dead troops in boots who were sent to fight a falsehood war! Anyway, my attack on the lunatic behavoir of the “Vomit Summit” was merely a “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names....” So in efforts to fix things, I have started another web-site, called MSDS.whores. I wanted to use MSDS.com, but that identifier is already reserved for a very important organization. Herein that MSDS means “Material Safety Data Sheets”, found throughout industry and today even at the local grocery store, as the government requires a listing made public of what may be used to clean the fruit and wash the toilet – I hope in that order! And the MSDS site can be very valuable if your cat becomes sick. Say for eating a mouse that had ingested rat poison purposely left out by the neighbor because that freak across the street thinks you are an Obama supporter so wants to eradicate life different – including gays. Anyway, the MSDS.com site can provide a remedy and is basically a chemical 911! Now my site, and I hope it doesn't cause confusion, here the “MSDS” means “My Shit Don't Stink” with the dot-whores qualifier replacing the dot-com linker. So you may go to MSDS.whores to learn about members of the “Vomit Summit”. But if you do have a sick cat, make sure you get it right, with the “com” instead of the “whores” – as to see these disgusting bastards during a time challenged scenario, it could sure bring one to a compromising halt, as horror attacks sometimes trap people in a dazed-are-you predicament, and that cat can only stand so much vomit for so long.... In fact, a real MSDS data sheet offers all kinds of helpful information. Like with that toilet bowl cleaner for instance, the Heath Hazards associated with its use, Waste Disposal concerns, Explosive Data, Reaction Data and Precautionary Data - like how far to stay away or what to do if in contact. Wow, that finds for a fascinating topic. Why not an MSDS – My Shit Don't Stink – for the “Vomit” and every other politician – like a one stop shopping cart to learn about those in or aspirations to join in with the “Vomit” population – political office interests? Yes, a data sheet for them all, with data fields like mentioned above. One for MissHell, Sarah, Cruz all the way down the lane. With the same damn criteria – like what to do if in contact and how far to stay away and that “Reaction” data, that could be way too entertaining. So visit MSDS.whores, and check out the MSDS for your favorite “Vomit” representative! Note: MSDS.whores is still under construction but will be up and running soon.
