I am amazed at the FOX noize network and what they contrive as news. In a recent interview with Dick Cheney and the lying style of "Enquirer" antics of news reporting from Sean Hannity, he asks Cheney if it was dangerous for Barack Obama, (Fox network never calls him our nations President,) to be photographed shaking hands with dictators such as Hugo Chavez!
First, Hugo Chavez is not a dictator. He is a freely elected official. Whether the right wing, or any wing of, for America likes this or not.
He is asking Cheney this quesiton?! Cheney has spent decades being photographed with the dictators that the administrations he has worked with created. With the Reagan Administration, who illegally sold arms to Iran, there are countless shots with Rumsfeld or Cheney doing business with the now criminal state they profess to be so dangerous to our country. They created this criminal country.
There are countless shots and business dealings with Rumsfeld and Cheney creating the regime that Saddam Hussein built. That same regime that they in turn turned on and declared dangerous to the world and decided to start the failed waste of a war. The Administrations to which Cheney and Rummy belonged to built this regime as well.
Yet, Hannity and his insanity, has the gall to make up the threat that our President, Obama, is dangerous in shaking hands with Chavez?! A freely elected official?!
Oh, by the by, Happy Earth Day!! Stop listening to FOX and save the earth!!

The Blood of The Lazarus Heart
He looked beneath his shirt today
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
He turned around to face his mother
To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
But the sword that cut him open
Was the sword in his mother's hand
Every day another miracle
Only death will tear us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart
The blood of the Lazarus heart
Though the sword was his protection
The wound itself would give him power
The power to remake himself
At the time of his darkest hour
She said the wound would give him courage and pain
The kind of pain that you can't hide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
Every day another miracle
Only death will keep us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart
The blood of the Lazarus heart
Birds on the roof of my mother's house
I've no stones that chase them away
Birds on the roof of my mother's house
Will sit on my roof someday
They fly at the window, they fly at the door
Where does she get the strength to fight them anymore
She counts all her children as a shield against the rain
Lifts her eyes to the sky like a flower to the rain
Every day another miracle
Only death will keep us apart
To sacrifice a life for yours
I'd be the blood of the Lazarus heart
The blood of the Lazarus heart

We Work The Black Seam
This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense
One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
We walk through ancient forest lands
And light a thousand cities with our hands
Your dark satanic mills
Have made redundant all our mining skills
You can't exchange a six inch band
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
Our conscious lives run deep
You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
This way of life is part of me
The is no price so only let me be
And should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place
One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

Not in Texas...
It's called Carbon 14. 14C, or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon discovered on February 27, 1940, by Martin Kamen and Sam Ruben at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, CA. Its presence in organic materials is the basis of the radiocarbon dating method to date archaeological, geological, and hydrogeological samples.
But not in Texas...
Radiocarbon dating is a method that uses (14C) to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to about 60,000 years old. The technique was developed by Willard Libby who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this work. One of the frequent uses of the technique is to date organic remains from archaeological sites. Plants fix atmospheric carbon during photosynthesis, so the level of 14C in plants and animals when they die approximately equals the level of 14C in the atmosphere at that time.
But, not in Texas...
However, the radioactivity decreases thereafter from radioactive decay, allowing the date of death or fixation to be estimated. The initial 14C level for the calculation can either be estimated, or else directly compared with known year-by-year data from tree-ring data (dendrochronology) to 10,000 years ago, or from cave deposits (speleothems), to about 45,000 years of age.
But, not in Texas...
A calculation, or (more accurately), a direct comparison with tree ring or cave-deposit carbon-14 levels, gives the wood or animal sample age-from-formation. The technique has limitations within the modern industrial era, due to fossil fuel carbon (which has little carbon-14) being released into the atmosphere in large quantities, in the past few centuries.
But, not in Texas...
You see, The Texas Board of Education has decided to throw logic and science into the wind and begin to teach the children of that state that it is highly possible that the world began only 10,000 years ago by the hand of God...
Textbooks have to be changed to reflect this doubt in evolution to bring in a more "realistic" view of the possibility of divine intervention only 10,000 years ago. This socially conservative viewpoint will begin to be a standard in textbooks in that state as early as 2011.
This is a perfect example of a separation of church and state...?
There are those who's non-religious beliefs give them pause, and rightfully so, to abstain from saying the Pledge of Allegiance due to the fact of the statement of God and Country, etc. because of our Bill of Rights and Freedom of Religion. Only now, that child has to be brain fed the garbage of the religious right that the world is only 10,000 years old...
...We work the black seam together...
