I don't really know how much this dept would be able to help people or business. How well are they doing with predicting when and at what time and how strong an earthquake will be, so as to help out the people living in the area. This might have help out the Haitians if they had that info.

I don't believe that we have seen the last of Mr. Van Jones. Keep a vigilante eye on this man and what role he may still play in the B.O. administration even if behind the scenes.

I firmly believe that when people do not stop to think about what next is coming out of their mouths, that what is said is what is truly felt in their heart. It is who they are and represent. The Bible states in James 3:5-6 "Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members (body) and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell." The tongue may be a small appendage of our bodies, but causes quite a stir and reveals the innermost comprehension of who we real are and what we stand for.

I myself have not seen such hatred lashed out on anyone (except maybe George W. Bush)as has been leashed at Sarah Palin. She has done nothing that I can see to warrant this kind of behavior, she just showed up on the scene back during the election campaign, before that no one knew who she was except for her constituency in Alaska. I believe that you are right when you say that they must be afraid of her in some way, because all else that they do and say has no truthful basis.
