Thursday, April 27, 10:30 am. === 0427 am 'Get This' news author: shrike Summary of the KBOO am news for Thursday, April 27th, 2006. 1. The US Forest Service says the parts of the National Forest that the Bush Administration wants to sell are isolated, expensive to manage and no longer needed- no documentation on this - just administration poobah. Trouble, is, when the Bush Forest Service doesn't get what it wants, forest fires seem to happen "accidentally", lightening strikes out of clear skies... 2. Timber companies and coastal counties are facing a logging shortfall from a harvest strategy cooked up back in 2001. (It's like eating the whole cake and then demanding to be allowed to eat more cake) 3. Portland Public Schools' lightening-speed closure and reconfiguration plans could doom a November tax measure designed to give the district five years of financial stability. (Keep your eye on the money. Apparently some went missing when Vicki Phillips was head of the Lancaster Pennsylvania school District.) 4. Portland's skate Park planners are facing huge bills and no skate park. Delays and consultants made the money disappear and then skaters turned to private money... . 5. In Beaverton Wal-Mart passed its traffic test but failed the storm run-off trials. (Wal-Mart seems incapable of understanding when and where it is not wanted.) 6. two attack submarines are being repositioned from the east to the west coast. (Hmmmm. Are we expecting company?) 7. Boeing is testing a" robotic airplane" (that would be an unmanned drone) over the Clovis area. These plane things are going to be used for 'military intelligence' and 'reconnaissance' (That's just weekdays. On the weekend they get bomb Iran or perhaps Clovis... ) 8. the US Justice Department (smile when you say that) is apparently putting pressure to Canadian officials to turn over Tre Arrow. 9. A House committee approved a bill that allows internet providers to charge extra for faster delivery of services to consumers. What this means is that we could now have a two-tiered, sort of class structure on the internet. This is the Network Neutrality issue. The Senate still has to vote, but it's going to fall along party lines, I'm guessing. Call all the lesser-evil Republican Senators you can think of and ask them politely not to support this vile piece of legislation. 10. The cost of the Iraq war is so huge that we simply don't have enough zeros to express it. And even if we did the Administration wouldn't tell us how many zeros to use. 11. Ken Lay made the booboo of running to his friends at Goldman Sachs and asking them to p0lease forget they ever knew him or talked to him or anything. (Had he thought he could have gotten away with it, Lay would have clubbed them over the head like baby seals, just to make sure they stayed silent.) 12. A new study shows that America is not longer the Land of Opportunity. So don't get your hopes up. 13. Unless you are Exxon Mobile, in which case America is the land of Obscene Profits, Corporate Unaccountability and Environmental Depredation... . 14. A Senate panel is asking major oil companies for a peek at their tax returns. Here's the quote: "Senator charles Grassley, the committee chairman, said the panel was concerned about high profits and executive compensation." Concerned? He should be shitting bricks... 15. Prosecutors asked a judge to rethink granting 9/11 families who are suing airlines access to evidence gathered for the criminal case against Zacarias Moussaoui. 16. And yet another Senate panel wants to abolish FEMA. ('Abolish' hardly cover it. How about detonate?) 17. Supreme Court Justices sparred over the death penalty yesterday. Specifically whether certain parts of the lethal injection procedure constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (Antonin Scalia pointed out that, "Hanging was not a quick and easy way to go... " (He didn't finish the sentence, so let's see if I can help him out,:'So, hey, let's bring back hanging!). 18. The National Health and Consumer Advocacy Group came out with their 'Pill Prizes' yesterday, awarded to the pharmaceutical companies that spend the most on marketing. 19. Valerie Plame was working on Iran's budding nuclear program. That's why they were so pissed at her. 20. Karl took time out from his busy schedule fixing the next artificial election to testify for the fifth time. ('Taking the fifth'... ha ha, joke!) 21. More shenanigans at Gitmo. 22. Congressional investigators are expressing doubts about America's commitment to the United Nations (That sentence would make sense the Congressional committee we're talking about consisted of Homer Simpson). 23. A sister of Iraq's new Sunni Arab President was killed today, along with a great many other innocent and not-so-innocent (And you know Who You Are, Blackwater) people. 24. The Red Cross is alarmed by the senseless loss of civilian life mostly in the Middle East, but pretty much everywhere. 25. The struggling Hamas government is appealing to banks for help. 26. Mexico's Conservative ruling party is blasting ahead. What happened to Lopez Obrador? Why not participate in the debates?
