Oil drilling protest in Portsmouth draws 70

Oil drilling protest in Portsmouth draws 70

My question is, how did these protesters get to the event? I am sure they all walked or road bikes. Strike that, bikes would have required energy to build and most of that energy would have come from oil. With that, I am sure they all walked.

If that parking was anything but empty I can easily say these are a bunch of hypocrites.

Robert Mann-ism "Queen of the birth baggers Sarah Palin"


The Forum: News from the Towns around Pawtuckaway: "Phony-genic
Robert Mann 13.MAR.10

Queen of the birth baggers Sarah Palin admits that she used to scuttle over the boarder from Alaska into Canada to take advantage of their government run health care system. Don't you just love it? Guess socialism is situation specific. Itj's okay for her and her family but not for you. That horrible government run health care that is regarded highly by every single other developed nation is better than ours (WHO rates us as #37) and it costs us 40 percent more than it does them. Perhaps a little music will make it clear.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVgOl3cETb4&feature=player_embedded#at=25.
Robert W. Mann
Deerfield, NH"

Mr. Mann has got to be kidding.  My guess is that he is just repeating what he probably read on the daily beast or some other far left leaning “news” outlet. 
I took the liberty of going to the article that sourced the following quote from Sarah Palin.
“My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse,” Palin said during a speech in Calgary on Saturday. “Believe it or not — this was in the ‘60s — we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn’t that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."
If Mr. Mann were to take a second and research things he would know that it looks like Whitehorse may have been the closest medical facility in the 60's.  Just in case, here is a map.

Imagine traveling in that area back in the 60’s you go where you can when you need medical attention.

U.S. considers some free wireless broadband service - Yahoo! News

When are we going to learn there is no such thing as FREE!!!!


U.S. considers some free wireless broadband service - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. regulators may dedicate spectrum to free wireless Internet service for some Americans to increase affordable broadband service nationwide, the Federal Communications Commission said on Tuesday.

The FCC provided few details about how it would carry out such a plan and who would qualify, but will make a recommendation under the National Broadband Plan set for release next week. The agency will determine details later.

One way of making broadband more affordable is to 'consider use of spectrum for a free or a very low cost wireless broadband service,' the FCC said in a statement.

The FCC statement was released during a Digital Inclusion Summit aimed at connecting one-third of Americans without home broadband service.

The FCC also said there would also be a recommendation in the broadband blueprint to launch a Digital Literacy Corps of volunteers who would provide training to communities with low rates of adoption.
