So I'm a hard news kind of girl. I read the newspaper in the same way the paper sets it up. Basically, I spend the most time on the cover stories, because I trust they are the best, and then continue on as time allows.
According to the cover of Monday's paper, the G.O.P. leader says he's compromise on tax-cut bill! Democrats might pass a measure but lose a campaign issue. Obama and democrats insist on ending tax cuts for welathier Americans (thank you!) and maintain lower rates for families earning less than $250,000 (thanks again!). But here's the kicker, so does the House Republican Leaer, Mr. Boehner. So how will the Democrats continue to paint Republicans as obstructionists favoring the rich over the middle class?
My eye is drawn to an ad for an article on page A19, Little Money For Gulf Research. I'm a sucker for environmental articles.
Scientists say lack of cash is hindering research on environmental impact! Oh no! Before I read any further let me just say, if BP has the time and money to ruin the gulf, they sure as hell have the time and money to fix it...and then some!
Scientists are doing research on the gulf and don't have anywhere to turn. Not only is this important to the health of the gulf now, but for the sake of the oceans in the future. HELLO oil companies, get out your wallets!
The Natural Science and Environmental Science foundations don't have enough money to support this, they don't reap the kind of profit oil does, and that's a fact!
This work is urgent, aka, it must be done now, and BP is helping but they're deciding where to spend money...um..who died and made them environmentalists! (Lots of fish and sea life, apparently).
