Bush set to relax endangered species rules

A gopher frog sits in the hand of Audubon Zoo curator Nick hanna  in New Orleans, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2008.  For the first time in 10 years, a pond in south Mississippi got enough rain this year to let gopher frogs, one of the nation's most endangered animals, turn from tadpole to frog without human help.

Auto Industry Execs Flew 3 Separate Private Jets To Beg For Taxpayer Money

The CEOs of the big three automakers flew to the nation’s capital yesterday in private luxurious jets to make their case to Washington that the auto industry is running out of cash and needs $25 billion in taxpayer money to avoid bankruptcy.

The CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler may have told Congress that they will likely go out of business without a bailout yet that has not stopped them from traveling in style, not even First Class is good enough.

Oh, and from the news department:

What I Did Before Politics

I spend a lot of time on politics, most of it online, some of it with the radio.  But before I got involved in all that, I used to spend a lot of time doing artwork, most of it as a result of an art therapy program I was part of during the treatment for my pain and disability.

Today I do most of my artwork on the computer, with da photo shop, but on the bad pain days, I often go through some of the old drawings and paintings.   The past ten days have been higher pain than I’ve experienced in quite a while, and I’m feeling a bit like I did back when I drew these.

So glad to have the support of my online community on days like this.
