I have a brother that has lived near Charlotte for a little while now.
There also seems to be one in any Ohio town over 20k.

 I am thrilled you are with job and also happy that you are without bad teeth.

 I have been wondering how you were doing. I hope the job is not the dreaded 'yellow knife'.

Hey, good to hear from you (not that I spend much time here recently). I hope your mouth feels better soon.

Or, "161" if you don't want to be pegged as a Columbus newbie ;-)

It made sense to me that you'd go to that one, being close to your pad and all...

There are several statutes and treaties that cover torture.  Under ordinary criminal law everyone who participated in the torture of suspects should be in prison.  If you want to go out to our treaty obligations, we have precedent for executing everyone from President Bush (including Cheney and Rumsfeld) all the way down to the person who brought the pitcher of water.  Of course, since I'm against the death penalty in all cases, I will settle for life sentences w/o parole.

Frankly, anyone who had knowledge of our actions and didn't bring it to the attention of someone should be sitting in a federal penitentiary.  Of course, that seems like it'd be most of Congress these days, but so be it.

Why someone should be congratulated for applying the law equally, regardless of partisan blinders, is beyond me.

With a limited number of permits in circulation, then the price of the permit will rise.   A carbon tax is their preferred alternative.

EDIT:  I trashed the letter I had gotten, but I found some online info when I got to the National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association website.  I'm pasting the entire text as it's so short

May 15, 2009 – “NRECA looks forward to reviewing the detailed legislative language released today by Chairman Waxman.  Based on reports we have heard about what the revised draft contains, NRECA believes the bill has improved over the discussion draft released in late March.  As I testified in April before the Energy and Commerce Committee, NRECA supports developing affordable, simple, and flexible climate change legislation.  However, the bill does not yet meet that test.

“We greatly appreciate all members of the Energy and Commerce Committee who have worked hard to improve the legislation, and we look forward to continuing to work with members of the House and Senate to further improve the bill and make it a piece of legislation that electric cooperatives can support.

“The renewable energy provisions have been improved significantly in the bill as have the efficiency provisions.   Including temporary free allowances in the bill is a step in the right direction to protecting electric cooperative consumers from unnecessarily increasing electricity bills, but the bill still leaves not-for-profit, consumer-owned cooperatives  exposed to an auction of emission allowances.  While the emission caps in the bill have been lowered somewhat, we believe they are still overly aggressive in the early years of the program and will need to be adjusted.”

 create some jobs in So. Carolina.

 The unemployment rate for SC was the second highest in the nation and hit a record state high for of 11.5%.

 Why isn't Mark Sanford creating more better business opportunities for his state.

Quote the "unemployment rate" as the rate of people not in school who don't have a job.

There is no need for "seasonal adjustments".  All that is hand waving to make a statistical value "look" good or bad.  I can tell based on a graph if employment normally goes up or down depending on what time of the year it is.  I don't need "adjustments" to attempt to make the picture rosier than it is.

I do like how the graph has a teeny tiny bar for 5 million and huge bar for 6.6 million.

I hadn't originally noticed the false basline, but its pretty severe. This is a classic method for misleading the audience.

It can be legitimate if it doesn't impact the comparison being made, but in this case it greatly exaggerates the increse in unemployment.
