no, I don't estimate/care if a gay man or straight woman has more, or less, s, etc up his, her rectum.
That you even THINK about it shows your pre-occupation, bias against gays.
Still no answer. That figures Boutons.

Wyoming Gubernatorial Candidate Calls For Drilling In Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park’s days as a pristine ecological retreat could be numbered if Wyoming gubernatorial candidate Taylor Haynes (R) gets his way.
Haynes, a physician and former trustee at the University of Wyoming, wants all national parks and federal lands in Wyoming to be turned over to the state. According to the Casper Star Tribune, Haynes wants to allow all lands in Wyoming, including Yellowstone, to be leased for drilling, mining, and grazing. “We will manage every square inch of Wyoming,” the gubernatorial hopeful said.
The chance that there could soon be drilling in Yellowstone, which in 1872 became the first national park in the world, is exceedingly slim. Haynes is challenging in bent Gov. Matt Mead (R), who opposes drilling in Yellowstone, in the August 19th primary. Election analysts expect Mead to prevail handily.
Still, Haynes is not the only politician who wants to sully national parks by letting oil and mineral companies in. Others, including Reps. Pete Olson (R-TX), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), and Rob Bishop (R-UT), also want to open up public lands for drilling. Bishop, who chairs the House Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation, downplayed his plan, telling ThinkProgress that he wanted to allow mining around the Grand Canyon in an area merely the size of New Jersey.
Even as drilling in national parks is favored by many Tea Partiers, polling shows that the vast majority of Western voters, including Republicans, actually prefer conservation. The Center for Western Priorities recently surveyed voters, finding that two-in-three Western voters were more likely to support a candidate who wanted to enhance protections for public lands, including 59 percent of Republicans. Three-quarters of Western voters said they opposed proposals to sell off public lands.

so the "state-ize/drill the national parks" is pandering for BigOil contributions, against the wishes of Human-Americans.
my bet: BigOil will win, eventually.
Seems like more energy for human Americans.
but no savings for Americans.
The inane Drill Here Drill Now has saved Americans NOTHING in gas prices, and as soon as BigOil starts exporting LNG, domestic NG prices will rise to world level, just like oil prices. 3x, 4x more expensive than now.
but, at least we will have raped Yellowstone, etc to enrich BigCarbon.
No it doesn't. The original comment was that gays and hetero couples having anal sex would have the same AIDS transmission rate. I suggested that the hetero couple might have a higher rate because there could potentially be more tearing in a less stretched out butthole. I assume that a gay person that likes anal sex would probably have stuck more things in his butt over time than the hetero woman.
How do you know it's "saved nothing"?
I know from what I pay at the gas station. something like 40% of US oil is from US holes, but the gas price keeps rising, not decreasing.
Just think how high it would be if we didn't expand drilling.
You know a candy bar used to cost 10 cents? Why don't you complain about that.
Or better yet, how about the cost of a college education?
"Just think how high it would be if we didn't expand drilling."
you tell us, please.
I assume all big Corporate-Americans, esp the cartels with 2 or a few members, even 1 in some regions, are ing, wealth-draining Human-Americans.

Rich Lowry: Boys killed on Gaza beach should have gotten out of the way of Israeli explosion
National Journal Editor Rich Lowry asserted over the weekend that Israelis were not at fault for the deaths of four boys who were killed while playing on a Gaza beach last week because Hamas should have told them to move out of the way.

Rep. Louie Gohmert: Israel’s invasion of Gaza means ‘it is time to bomb Iran’
“Mr. Speaker, in Israel right now, there is a battle for peace,” he said Tuesday on the House floor.
“They are being embattled by a group who teach their children, in the educational materials we help pay for, to hate Jews, to hate Israelis.
They teach the people to hate Israelis as well.
They name streets and holidays after people who kill innocent people.”
“It is time to cut off every dime of American money going to anyone who has any kind of relationship with Hamas or those killing in the Middle East, and especially in Israel,” the congressman continued.
“It is time to bomb Iran’s nuclear capabilities,”

Mississippi Cuts $1.3 Billion from Schools, Gives $1.3 Billion to Nissan
ississippi has proved to us all that austerity, or the political ideology of “government living within its means,” is a farce. All austerity means is taking money away from public services, and giving it to private business. Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant and the GOP-led legislature illustrated that perfectly in two ways.
Since 2008, Mississippi has violated a cons utional mandate to adequately fund the state’s public K-12 schools. The Mississippi Adequate Education Program, or MAEP, was established in 1997 to make sure a proper portion of taxes went to fund schools. A community’s ad valorem taxes will cover up to 27 percent of the cost, while the state covers the rest. The state’s contribution is essentially the base student cost times the daily attendance in a certain school district. The mandated amount would be readjusted every five years for inflation. Mississippi has spent $648 less per student than it did in 2008. Currently, Mississippi has underfunded its public schools by at least $1.3 billion.
In May of last year, the United Auto Workers released a study showing that Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi, plant was getting $1.33 billion in tax breaks from the state in return for Nissan’s promise to provide Mississippians with good-paying, full-time jobs. $850 million in tax breaks would be spaced out over a 30-year period, with $400 million in cash aid. Mississippi would even pay $90 million in interest on the debt incurred to reward Nissan with its lavish tax breaks. Mississippi has already given $378 million to Nissan, which paid for its access roads, water usage, and worker training. Nissan also gets to keep $160 million in income taxes from workers over the next 25 years, which would normally have gone to Mississippi’s public programs. No employer has gotten that sweet a deal from any state government.
However, out of all 5,200 workers at Nissan’s Canton plant, most of them are employed by temp agencies.
Regular, full-time employees are paid over $23 per hour and have benefits,
but the temp workers at the Canton plant are often hired for just half that amount, given no healthcare, retirement, benefits, or paid time off, and have very little job security.
The automaker has even issued a 5-year wage freeze for its Mississippi workers even as the company pocketed $3.3 billion in profit last year. Nissan likes to brag that it never lays people off, yet they don’t count temp workers who have been let go. While many other Nissan plants have unionized workforces, Nissan has indirectly threatened to close its Mississippi plant for good and move out of state if its workers organize.
While Mississippi is paying for a giant chunk of Nissan’s subsidies with the exact amount of money it cut from schools in the last six years, the state is actually following a nationwide trend.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonprofit think tank, most states are funding schools even less than they used to before the global recession, which officially ended in 2009.
Out of the 35 states following this trend, ten of those states have cut education by more than 10 percent.
And despite modest increases in their tax revenues, 15 states are providing less funding per student than they did last year.
Nor is Nissan alone in their greed-inspired quest for huge tax breaks without fulfilling their promises to create jobs.
A New York Times database from 2012 shows that over 150,000 state-based tax handouts to private businesses amount to $80.4 billion each year.
Many of these corporations, like General Motors, took these handouts, and then shuttered operations a short time later.
New Jersey governor Chris Christie has awarded over $2 billion in tax incentives during his tenure. That’s more under just one governor than in the combined tenures of all of New Jersey’s governors since 1996.
But despite the handouts to corporations, New Jersey’s job growth is still lagging behind the rest of the nation. As of December of 2012, New Jersey had only restored half of the private sector jobs lost since the start of the recession.
States all over should have already realized that since globalization has sent manufacturing jobs overseas, real job growth lies in highly-skilled, technical industries. And to attract those employers, a state needs to have an educated workforce ready to take on those jobs. Unless states stop the disturbing trend of cutting education funding in favor of giving big tax breaks to any corporation that asks for them, their economies will only get worse.

Sarah Palin Says God Told Her President Obama Should Be Impeached
Her previous calls for Republicans to impeach President Obama failed, so now Sarah Palin is invoking God to advance her extremist cause.
During a speech at the Western Conservative Summit, Palin continued to open her mouth against the wishes of most Americans and repeated her demand that Obama be impeached.
But this time, Palin put a new spin on it by claiming that God agrees with her.

She'd do even better if she showed lots of cleavage from the old, liquid s.

Millions Pay for Rare Opportunity to Hear Sarah Palin Speak
NEW YORK – Sarah Palin’s online video service starring herself had a hugely successful launch on Monday, as millions of Americans paid $9.95 for the rare opportunity of hearing the former Alaska Governor speak.
The Web site for The Sarah Palin Channel reportedly crashed several times during the day, as it was overwhelmed by subscribers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of the reclusive Palin sharing her opinions.
At the corporate headquarters of the Palin Channel, the marketing director Tracy Klugian attributed the site’s mammoth success to “the simple law of supply and demand.”
“The Governor is a very private person who chooses her words very, very carefully,” Klugian said. “When someone like that finally decides to speak out, millions of people will pay to hear what she has to say.”
Harland Dorrinson, aged sixty-two, of Flint, Michigan, was just one of the millions of Americans who jammed Governor Palin’s channel on Monday, only to find that the site had frozen under the weight of traffic. “I’ll keep refreshing the page until I finally get through,” he said. “Hearing Sarah Palin talk isn’t something that happens every day.”
Media experts said Monday that the stunning launch of Palin’s Web site bodes well for the upcoming video channel from another rarely seen personality, Donald Trump.

Cool...
At least one thing the Humor section of the New Yorker said is correct. I doubt any of the rest of the article is true...
She has launched her own internet channel for $9.99/month, or $99 annual.
Now I think that is pricy, and I won't pay that much.
I would pay say... $35 annual...

Congressman Compares EPA’s New Climate Rule To Terrorism
Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly (R) had choice worlds for the Environmental Protection Agency’s new rule on power plant emissions Monday, moving beyond the usual “war on coal” language and likening the proposed regulations to an act of terrorism.
Kelly delivered his remarks at an event at the conservative Heritage Foundation, a think tank that opposes the new rule.
“You talk about terrorism — you can do it in a lot of different ways,” he said. “But you terrorize the people who supply everything this country needs to be great — and you keep them on the sidelines — my goodness, what have we become?”
When asked to clarify what he meant by that, Kelly said he used the word “terrorism” broadly, E&E News reports.
“When a government can level on you taxes and regulations that makes it impossible for you to compete, then you’re going to stay on the sidelines,” he said.
Opponents of the rules should continue fighting them, Kelly said, because if critics give up, the EPA has “effectively won.”
Kelly is the author of the Coal Country Protection Act, legislation which would halt the EPA’s new carbon rule and any regulation that aims to limit carbon from power plants until various criteria are met, including certification from the Secretary of Labor that the regulation won’t cause job losses.
“The Coal Country Protection Act will defend hardworking Americans from the EPA’s extreme overreach by stopping unfair, job-killing regulations in their tracks,” Kelly said in a statement. “The ideological ambitions of a few in Washington must never be allowed to force economic pain on families across our country.”
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/201...ule-terrorism/
"job-killing regulations" ??
BigCoal, Kelly's paymaster/ower, has already destroyed 50% of coal jobs since the 1980s.
What about all miner-disabling, miner-killing accidents and lung disease?
