42. We can't afford not to anymore.
We need to get with the program, get lean and mean, and use whatever renewable and passive energy resources we can.

Or the world will eat our lunch.

49. Sounds like he's been a success today
I'm at work counting on everyone's comments here. The neoCONs are organized, relentless liars. I'm glad Obama is turning this around. He needs to push them down before he even starts next time.
