“WASHINGTON – The top US military commander in Iraq warned Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in May that the country’s biggest dam, just up the Tigris River from the northern city of Mosul, is at risk of collapse, putting the city’s 1.7 million people in danger of being inundated by a 65-foot flood wave.”

Now, what the hell is this??

Yep. Baghdad is also in danger. Water will flow into the city.

The newest Republican surge.

I’ve been trying to convince myself that one day we’ll all look back and see Pelosi’s stance on impeachment as wise. So far, no luck.

Any idea who the Speaker checks with before she makes a decision?

her campaign treasurer?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 — The nation’s top official for consumer product safety has asked Congress in recent days to reject legislation intended to strengthen the agency, which polices thousands of consumer goods, from toys to tools.

On the eve of an important Senate committee meeting to consider the legislation, Nancy A. Nord, the acting chairwoman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, has asked lawmakers in two letters not to approve the bulk of legislation that would increase the agency’s authority, double its budget and sharply increase its dwindling staff.

Ms. Nord opposes provisions that would increase the maximum penalties for safety violations and make it easier for the government to make public reports of faulty products, protect industry whistle-blowers and prosecute executives of companies that willfully violate laws.
