As a fill-in on the Rush Limbaugh Show on Friday, June 19, radio personality extraordinaire Mark Davis spews his bile across the airways:
CALLER: What I'm suggesting is the Republican Party could do itself and the country a big favor by seeking to establish some credibility and taking the position that there -- no one has the right to deny any citizen of this country the right to the institution of marriage.
DAVIS: But that -- except for one thing: That's insane. Using that very argument, I can marry my dog. Using that argument, I can marry five women. And I'm not --
CALLER: That's another question.
DAVIS: -- and, please, no angry gay people.
...and on the issue for 'cash for clunkers', I hope you're not one of the 'countless examples' of crackhead people to have a clunker in your driveway and looking to improve your lot in life - or find your next hit. In any case, a tool to help people step up to a new cleaner vehicle that will help themselves, the auto industry, and the environment, is shown contempt by Mark because 'countless' people with addiction issues will abuse the system. Damn vouchers are going to make common people make BAD decisions with tax payer money. (I'll let that soak in for a second ........ ok) Yeah, let's give it to some crackhead investment guys up on Wall Street. I trust THEM a whole lot. Heck, the biggest pain will be with the guys at the Dallas Can! Academy. Losing some potential car donations could be a big hit. I would've understood THAT discussion.
DAVIS: The way in which it will work in countless examples is people whose cars either don't work or barely work, and they're maybe doing a little less crack cocaine or maybe smoking a few -- fewer cartons of smokes, or maybe not quite filling the fridge as full with beer because they're saving for the car they gotta have, because if they don't have it, they'll get fired and then they'll really be up the creek. Guess what? No worries, mate!
Here comes $4,500 of taxpayer money, so you can head to the liquor store. You can go to the meth lab. You can get that carton of Lucky's. Go ahead. That $4,500 frees up your budget. - Media Matters
This is why I love 'Radio Republicans' so much. They know people so well and know everything they think is true, they MUST know what is better for us. Listen for yourself, but load up on duct tape. On with the news....

"The Green Bank, or Clean Energy Deployment Administration, is a key element of proposed clean-energy policies. The Green Bank would provide more favorable terms to companies—including lower interest rates and a lower cost of debt—to offset the high cost of financing new renewable energy projects through the private sector."
ENERGY BULLETIN
"We conclude from these reviews that the most alarmist of the peakoil claims are likely false. Still, we see some convincing reasons to think that global production could peak within 20 years, with demand outstripping production indefinitely."

"Thanks to new technology that has allowed producers to drill for gas in shale rock, the Potential Gas Committee in Golden, Colo., said that the country's estimated reserves are 35 percent higher than just two years ago and have reached the highest level since the group started tracking the information 44 years ago."
