Great video by the Green Party of England & Wales, but pretty universal.

Add a hand crank or bicycle generator and you have a reliable source of survival level electricity, day or night, by sunlight or muscle power.
This is also entry level electrical power for the 1.5 billion people around the world who do not yet have access to electricity. Civil defense at home and economic development abroad can be combined in a “buy one, give one” program like the Bogolight (http://www.bogolight.com) which is a solar LED light and AA battery charger.
Solar IS Civil Defense and could be much more.

We can start with me. I paid shit! That’s right everyone! I PAID SHIT BABY! As in 5.3% … Technically I dumped 15% of my salary into my 401(K) (pre-tax) so I really paid 5.3% on 85% of my salary. Pretty good huh? But I’m sure the audience at home expected this coming from me.
Scott Laugenour on the other hand . . .
Hey Scott! Scott! How much did you fork over to the state of MA this year (meaning tax year 2011)? How much Scott? How much? How much?
BOOM – Moment of truth! Did Scott Laugenour pay the 5.3% rate or did he pay the higher super-liberal rate of 5.85%. With so many registered Democrats and a generally left leaning citizenry you would expect to see plenty of people paying the 5.85 rate wouldn’t you? Question: Did Scott Laugenour pay the 5.85% rate?
a) The Sample/Specimen Ballot posted outside the polling place for voters.
Why is the Elections Division http://mass.gov/sec of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts so difficult to get the Sample/Specimen ballot poster from by email before voting?… in case local elections commissions haven’t made the Sample/Specimen Ballot poster available by email or online, on the web.
b) Printer of Ballots
Could the Printer of Ballots email the Sample/Specimen Ballot poster on request for any voters interested in seeing the Sample/Specimen Ballot poster before going to vote? It’s 2012, it shouldn’t be necessary to make a trip to see a Sample/Specimen Ballot poster that could be make available by email or online, on the web in advance of the day for voting

Yes Team Green – Green Party Candidate Roseanne Barr is making the rounds … and here is a little quote from an interview she had with Russia Today . . .
“Part of my platform is, of course, the guilty must be punished and that we no longer let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder. Because it teaches children, you know, that they don’t have to have any morals as long as they have guns and are bullies and I don’t think that’s a good message,” Barr told Russia Today (RT).
Isn’t it refreshing to finally have a president that is against murder? WOW!
The Green Party Presidential hopeful went on to say . . .
“I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty.”
To which the interviewer agreed “you’re singing to the choir on this show, we’ve been advocating for the return of the guillotine for years now” said the host of “The Keiser Report” on Russia Today.
Roseanne responded with
“Oh well fantastic we think alike in many ways.”

http://www.sciencedaily.com/re…
Testing in New Hampshire’s Mink Brook watershed during March through May 2011 resulted in calculating radioactive iodine deposition in the soil at a total amount around 6,000 atoms per square meter. Dartmouth research associate Joshua Landis commented that “at these levels, it is unlikely that this is going to cause measurable health consequences.” The amount in stream sediments was double the amount in soil but should be reduced by river and stream dilution.
This radioactive waste from Fukushima consists of iodine-131, “highly radioactive, acutely toxic” with a half-life of about 8 days, and iodine-29, less radioactive but with a half-life of 15.7 million years. “Due to its long half-life and continued release from ongoing nuclear energy production, [iodine-129] is perpetually accumulating in the environment and poses a growing radiological risk,” the authors of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report point out. A nuclear reactor produces 3 parts iodine-131 to one part iodine-129. “Once the iodine-131 decays, you lose your ability to track the migration of either isotope.”

Think about that for a minute. With the national debt climbing, death toll in Afghanistan climbing, percentage of American’s on Food Stamps climbing, you can always count on a Green Candidate to push for what’s most important … legalizing drugs. Because that’s what America needs right now, more people on drugs.
This is the year the main stream media treats the Green Party as a serious contender!
Roseanne Barr is making headlines the only way she knows how … saying something completely stupid! Apparently her campaign team left her alone with a computer … unattended.
So we have this headline . . .
“Roseanne Barr tweets George Zimmerman’s parents’ correct address”
“If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll [rt] his address again. maybe go 2 his house myself, – Roseanne Barr”
So as the highest ranking republican on this blog I have a question to ask the Green Party . . . .
1.) Do you think Roseanne Barr has a shot or is she just in the running to bring [cough] attention to the Green Party?
