Here's how I heard the "news" regarding the Israeli airstrike on some target in Syria.
1. Israeli intelligence gets wind of a "nuclear facility" being built in Syria with the aid of North Korea and bombs SOMETHING.
2. Israel, Syria, the US and the greater Middle East have "no comment" when the alleged bombing occurred.

Just as every great man has a great woman behind her (;-)... every international 21st century crisis and catastrophic event has a pipeline deal close behind it.
I always find the nugget when I search by "topic" + "pipeline". Generally it yields a Triple-7 payoff.

How difficult could it be to have Congress reset the national speed limit to 55 MPH? It would something everyone could be involved with and would have some real benefits to the US.
Would you drive 55?
"On the highway, try not to exceed a speed of 55 miles per hour. Not only are you less likely to get into an accident, but the faster you drive, the more fuel your vehicle consumes per mile. That means more money and more greenhouse gases.

There's been a vicious land grab going on behind the scenes at the North Pole to take over the rights to the region, and Mr. & Mrs. Claus and the elves have nothing to say about it.

What kind of unconscionable rascals could possibly be behind an eminent domain conspiracy to oust Santa from his longtime home at the North Pole?

I think every major blog NEEDS a Live Earth Thread!
So this is my lame attempt.
Here is the main website link:
http://www.liveearth.org
Want to watch LIVE online? Go Here:
http://liveearth.msn.com
Seems like if you want to see it on TV, most people will only be able to see it on NBC tonight at 8pm.
But... It is on BRAVO right now! They are showing a really good mix of shows and Good Earth info and videos.
Why is it not on MTV or VH1? .. oh... they USED to be music stations and USED to fake social awareness and caring.

Introduction
This series discusses ways that faith and environmentalism are closely linked to each other.
“Environmentally… we must do more to protect our natural resources, enabling us to extend their economic value indefinitely through wise natural resource extraction policies that protect the beauty and diversity of our American ecosystems - our seacoasts, mountains, wetlands, rain forests, alpine meadows, original timberlands and open prairies….”

"This administration's foreign policy, in my mind, has not been adept," Clark said. "I've been saying for years now that the Iraq war was one we did not have to fight, and with Iran the military option should be the last resort, after this country uses diplomacy and economic leverage."
