Big Media Missing the Point
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Everyone who bickers about the size of the crowd in Washington on September 12, or what network covered it and what media did not cover it, or whether the protest was the work of conservatives or un-American racists is sorely missing the significance of the entire event.

Karl Rove and the Spitballers
Chris Cavey
Last week Karl Rove spoke at the Goucher College “President’s Forum “series. Mr. Rove and Goucher President Sanford J. Unger took the stage in front of an audience of over 500. The evening was a learning experience for the liberal student body; however, for me, it was just vintage Karl Rove.

Random thoughts:
Joan McIntyre
Healthcare:

Chip away at the items one by one. Stop forcing insurance companies to have mandated coverage outside normal everyday items. IVF (In vitro fertilization) is one example. Do a basic coverage; with wellness visits and then, if you must, do an a-la-carte menu for the rest.

Go Back Home

Kuching, Malaysia – Illegal logging and poor forest practices are two separate things” and “if there is one thing I hope could be improved over time it would be the quality of data that everyone could share” are the words of wisdom spouted by one Alberto Goetzl. Mr. Goetzl, a policy bureaucrat wonk from Poolesville, Maryland has been sharing these brilliant insights to the people of Malaysia through a program sponsored by the U.S. State Department.

Let the Games Begin
Roy Meachum
After Frederick City primaries last week, Republican friends insisted on talking about how Democratic winner Jason Judd’s chances were doomed in November, saying the Democratic winner would get his butt whipped when everybody could vote. There was also comment along the line his working for a union makes him anathema to local citizens.

Beware The Quiet on Carbon Dioxide

Grass-Roots Betrayed

Much has been said on all sides in evaluating recent protestors in Washington, as well as in Frederick. Just what is a legitimate “grass-roots” uprising, anyway?

It’s Expensive Going Green, But Worth It

Whatever happened to going green? Didn’t it seem that the big buzzword in housing in 2008/early 2009 was going green? Has this become a fad that has passed already? What does it mean to go green anyway?

Jennifer’s Last Hurrah
Roy Meachum
Jennifer Dougherty’s defeat Tuesday resulted not from a single cause but a number of political crimes, all of them self-inflicted. One by one, she managed to offend her fellow Democrats – from Ron Young to Andrew Duck and all the faithful in between. All by herself, she managed to make seeking office tediously boring; primarily because of the way she inevitably lost – time after-time.

Why the low turnout?
Joe Charlebois
Why the low turnout in the City of Frederick elections? There are numerous reasons, so here are a few as I see it.

Happenstance Happens…
Tony Soltero
A year ago or so, there was an ugly accident on a double-decker shuttle bus that serviced Washington Nationals’ games. A couple of young male passengers were killed when the bus ran under an overpass, prompting speculation about whether the passengers had stood up on the bus at the wrong moment, thus putting themselves in harm's way.

Monks, Monkeys and a Mad Englishman
Tom McLaughlin
Krabi, Thailand – This beach resort has the atmosphere of a quiet upscale scene as opposed to the honky tonk of Phuket Island or Ocean City, Maryland. The beaches, hotels and restaurants are filled with sexy Swedes. I can't seem to get away from those blue eyes and blonde hair, nor do I want to. They have taken over South Thailand.

Once again, our Roy Meachum has discovered that recovery from surgery is far more difficult than he had expected. Progress is being made, but, as most people know, set-backs are a part of the game. Hopefully he’ll be fit enough to resume on Friday.

Addressing the Algebra Crisis
Nick Diaz
In recent years, many jurisdictions throughout our country have experienced their share of educational crises – such as “whole language“ and “fuzzy math“ in general – and “TERC” in particular. Even now, the state is still in the grips of an “algebra crisis.”

Coalition Asks EPA to Regulate Greenhouse Gases and Other Toxic Air Pollutants From Factory Farms

Coalition Asks EPA to Regulate Greenhouse Gases and Other Toxic Air Pollutants From Factory Farms

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 21, 2009
3:17 PM

CONTACT: Friends of the Earth [1]
Kate McMahon, 202-222-0715, kmcmahon@foe.org

WASHINGTON - September 21 - The Humane Society of the United States and a coalition of environmental and public health organizations filed a legal petition [2] with the Environmental Protection Agency seeking to regulate air pollution from factory farms.

The petitioners joining The HSUS include Association of Irritated Residents; Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment; Clean Air Task Force; Dairy Education Alliance; El Comité para el Bienestar de Earlimart; Environmental Integrity Project; Friends of the Earth; and Waterkeeper Alliance.

"Unregulated air pollution from massive factory farms has a devastating impact on human health and the environment," says Jonathan Lovvorn, vice president and chief counsel for Animal Protection Litigation and Research at The HSUS. "The EPA should hold these big agribusiness corporations accountable for the enormous harm they are inflicting on local communities, independent family farmers, and the environment."

The 69-page petition provides detailed scientific and legal information about the significant emissions of methane and nitrous oxide-two greenhouse gases-as well as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia from factory farms, and how all of these pollutants have been shown to have negative effects on human health and welfare, including adverse effects on climate and the environment in the United States.

The petition further explains how reducing emissions of major pollutants from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which are massive industrial facilities confining thousands or even millions of animals in warehouse-like conditions, will improve human health, reduce suffering of farm animals, protect habitat for wildlife, and reduce the effects of climate change and other environmental problems. Regulating air pollution from CAFOs will also create a strong incentive for new CAFOs to employ production methods that reduce emissions.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has deemed the livestock sector "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." This same report found that animal agriculture was responsible for contributing 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions-more than even the transport sector.

In the United States, confined farm animals produce 500 million tons of waste every year, more than 3.3 times the amount of waste created by humans. Nevertheless, the EPA does not currently require these animal factories to meet any testing, performance or emission standards under the Clean Air Act.

CAFOs economically harm small family farms engaging in practices that are better for animal welfare and more environmentally sustainable. These independent farmers cannot financially compete with large factory farms, which cut corners and jeopardize environmental and public health. Forcing factory farms to comply with environmental and health standards would level the playing field and help small farmers become more competitive.

"Our lungs and the future of our planet are not animal factory subsidies," said Tom Fratz, president of the Association of Irritated Residents and a resident of the San Joaquin Valley, an air basin in California with more than 2.6 million dairy cows. "President Obama promised us during the election that he would protect rural residents from this pollution and we expect EPA to keep that promise."

"Hog lots and other factory farms aren't just stinky, they're also destabilizing our climate," said Kate McMahon of Friends of the Earth. "The EPA has a legal obligation to protect the public by cracking down on this economic and public health threat - a threat that has yet to be addressed by climate legislation pending in Congress."

"The people who live in the communities devastated by unregulated air pollution from animal factories deserve protection" said Charlie Tebbutt of the Western Environmental Law Center and co-chair of the Dairy Education Alliance. "Implementing this petition will get animal factories into the Clean Air Act process and give communities better opportunities to protect themselves."

"Through global warming and deposition, the toxic emissions from industrial animal operations have profoundly impacted our water resources" said Hannah Connor of Waterkeeper Alliance. "By actively regulating the emissions from this industry, EPA will be taking a positive step towards protecting and enhancing not only the quality of our Nation's air resources, but also the quality of our Nation's water resources, and the public health and welfare of our communities."

FACTS:
  • Over the last several decades, increasing numbers of animals are being warehoused in fewer, but larger, operations, in which many of them are intensively confined in small spaces such as battery cages, veal crates and gestation crates.
  • The increased waste and emissions associated with factory farming result in air pollution that contributes to climate change, causes serious public health concerns, and harms the environment.
  • The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) deemed the animal agriculture sector "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." This same report, Livestock's Long Shadow, found that global meat, egg and milk production generate more greenhouse gas emissions than even the transport sector.
  • Pollution from farm animal production is only continuing to increase, making emissions from CAFOs some of the nation's largest sources of pollution.
  • Despite clear evidence that CAFOs significantly contribute to emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter, the EPA does not require CAFOs to meet any testing, performance or emission standards under the Clean Air Act.
  • Numerous scientific surveys, including the U.S. Inventory Report adopted by the EPA, establish that CAFOs meet the standards for regulation under section 111 of the Clean Air Act as a source that causes or contributes significantly to air pollution which endangers public health and welfare.

Kanye West grabs mic from Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs and makes a complete fool of himself – it wasn’t hard for Mr. West. He’s a professional troll.

Remember his September 2, 2005 outburst during a live-television Katrina fund-raiser: “George Bush doesn't care about black people.”

Click here for an image of the actual moment West grabbed the microphone from a visibly startled Swift: http://twitpic.com/hp3da.

September 14, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff

By now many folks are aware of the hip-hop musician and rapper, Kanye West’s cringe worthy YouTube moment when he jumped up on the stage Sunday night at Radio City Music Hall during the MTV Video Music Awards and grabbed the microphone away from Taylor Swift and ranted that Beyoncé had been overlooked for the “Best Female Video” award.

Swift, 19, a country music sensation, had won the award for “You Belong With Me,” was just beginning to say, “I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen...”

Well, her moment in the sun did not happen as a result of the crass, bizarre behavior of Kanye – anything goes, cuz I’m self-absorbed and narcissistic – West.

Our hearts went out to Swift. It was her first award, and, well, West rained on her parade ‘real good.’ An obviously shaken Swift not finish her acceptance remarks…

Fortunately as tacky and classless as West was; the hero of the hour was the singer Beyoncé, who showed some grace, poise and class; and invited Swift up on stage to say a few words, when Beyoncé was awarded “video of the year” for “Single Ladies.”
