Clinton Dead Wrong: Natural Gas & Fracking are not the Bridge to a Cleaner Energy Future for America
Submitted by Steven D on Thu, 04/28/2016 - 12:31pmThe presumptive nominee believes that natural gas can be a bridge fuel to a cleaner energy future for the world, even if fracking technology is used to extract this resource, so long as we take the right approach and put in the right safeguards to prevent fugitive methane from escaping into the atmosphere. She couldn't be more wrong.

Resilience: A Healthy Lunch - From Getting Pickled To Pickled Veggies
Submitted by Gerrit on Thu, 04/28/2016 - 11:07am
When I was a business world creature, I learned about the mutual back-rubbing during the famous 3-martini lunch routine.
(Back-rubbing is such an equal-opportunity human behaviour that it takes place everywhere and anywhere and any time :=)
After jet-packing out of that, um, lunch sub-culture, I've tried to learn about healthy lunches. So, I'll show you my lunch and maybe you could show me your lunch :=) More below.
Nice to meet you all. I hope you won't go away.

I live in a very conservative little town and I don't get the chance to talk to many people like me. Some of you may know me from Daily Kos as martianexpatriate.
Hello!
Submitted by LieparDestin on Thu, 04/28/2016 - 9:59amHello friends! I just wanted to stop by and say hello to everyone over here who doesn't venture to the other place anymore! I miss you but certainly understand your reasonings, and hope you understand my sticking with what we started over there (aka: being a thorn in the side...).
Ted Rall - 2 excellent videos
Submitted by DonMidwest on Thu, 04/28/2016 - 9:58amTed is mostly known for his political cartoons.
He became a event on dailykos when he posted cartoons for free but his drawings of PRESIDENT Obama were taken to be a hit on Obama because he looked like a monkey to them. You can find him on dailykos and his Good By Cruel World diary described the dailykos allegiance to DLC/DNC and how they attack people who are not in line.
