And the gift keeps on giving,

Solyndra: Energy Dept. pushed firm to keep layoffs quiet until after Election Day - The Washington Post

If the GOP is cherry picking, they must be getting close to a bushel by now.

I actually thought of you this evening when I caught the end of an interview with Chu on NPR regarding his upcoming testimony.

You taking the day off on Thursday to watch CSPAN?

It was reposted at that site, that's all. I made sure to link to the source for the "boondoggles" info, and the maker of the graph also kept that characterization in quotes. So I'm afraid you would need to redirect your response to the NYT.

I am sorry to hear that you do not understand the point. I thought the graph made it extraordinarily clear, myself.

You know better than that, Mike. There are 7 others there to choose from -- 5 of which cost more -- if you dispute the MRAP point. How abou the comparison being made, hmm?

Obama is wrong about the Hawaiian island being part of Asia, but most people would get it wrong.

It is not part of North America, either. Only politically it is.


Geographically, it is part of Oceania, and has more Asian/Polynesian inhabitants than people from America....so it all depends on how you define things.
