CNN was advertising some sort of hard hitting political special about her which asked if she was "too liberal and too angry." Huh?! I'd have to say no to both...

New York Won't Keep Oil Train Details Secret [View all] Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 OP

Nor should they be secret. The nerve of those companies. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #1

I certainly agree! Rachel did a detailed report about this... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #2

No this is fine. it is important enough for a new thread. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #3

Thanks! I thought this was important... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #4

Yeah you guys have more of an issue in the Capitol region. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #5

Yes, seems like we have a lot of railroad tracks around here. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #6

The Amtrak trains north of Albany have to go slow because the tracks are falling apart. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #7

I'm not surprised. The roads aren't in great shape, either, and don't get me started on the bridges. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #8

I saw a report that said only 14 percent of the bridges in ups4ate ny were structually unsound. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #9

It was a hot issue just a few years ago, bridges I cross were on the unsafe list Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #10

this is a shame that our country is not investing in itself. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #11

It's just crazy that not much was done after major bridges collapsed. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #12

And cuomo is No help at all. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #13

He certainly can't hold a candle to his father Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #14

Yeah I guess it could be worse but that is not saying much. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #15

No, it's not, but I voted for him. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #16

I worry he will reverse course on fracking next term. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #17

That's a big fear of mine, as well. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #18

I was so glad to see the court ruling that allows municipalities to ban fracking. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #19

latest fracking ruling. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #23

Great find! Took me a second read to figure out what this meant, though, LOL Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #24

the rain is moving out now but there wax major flooding here and will get worse tomorrow. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #25

I thought it's been bad here, but there was severe flooding south of Albany, saw it on the news Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #26

It is still pouring but the radar said it is ending. At least it is not as hot as it was. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #27

Sounds like what it was like here yesterday, came down incredibly hard, must be moving south Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #28

That stinks. I hear the polar votex has come back. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #29

Something very unusual is happening. I can't remember such severe weather all at once Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #30

But the gop say no global warming. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #31

Because it still gets cold in the winter! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #32

Inholfe of Ok is the ringleader of the anti-science brigade. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #33

Figures, but unfortunately he's one of many Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #34

They are paid to do that. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #35

I keep remembering Chuck Grassley's speech on the "death panels" that are going to kill Grandma... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #36

And Bush when he said the jury is still out on evolution. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #37

ROFL! Well, from his perspective, he may have been left a little behind... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #38

too funny! hrmjustin Jul 2014 #39

That was one of the first Bushisms! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #40

He was comedy gold for the comedians. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #41

I wouldn't be surprised if they were hoping he'd be around for a second term Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #42

Bill Maher has gotten less funny over time. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #43

His "New Rules" is usually pretty good Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #44

No I haven't yet. is it worth it? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #45

You can always see the best parts on DU: ;) Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #46

Thanks I will check it out tomorrow. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #47

He really has been excellent, but it's not surprising Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #48

I watched some of it and it was funny. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #49

You're completely right, ran across this in my travels: Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #50

Climate deniers will have blood on their hands. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #51

Are you signing up again for mirt? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #52

Yes, I'm planning on it. And I'm sure glad that you are! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #53

Glad to hear it. we will not be on for election day unless they hold our term over for longer. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #54

Yes, LOL, I've been trying to figure out the timing... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #55

I am not sure how I feel about it but I think Sept and Oct should be hectic. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #56

From my experience, the disagreements leading up to the election are the worst. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #57

Yea it will be busy but I am game for it. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #58

Me, too! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #59

I think when the news cycle gets into gear after Labor Day it will get busy. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #60

I agree with you, though it won't be as bad because it's all local. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #61

Christie will be indicted by next summer so he won't run. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #62

Was it Jon Stewart who said that the top three are all going to be under indictment?? Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #63

Not sure but Walker will get away with it but Christie is in trouble. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #64

Christie's ego will be his downfall. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #65

Mitt will only run is there is no Christie and Bush. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #66

Like in 2008, I wouldn't be surprised if the nominee is someone we haven't heard of yet Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #67

Could be. I tend to think Hillary will be our candidate. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #68

She's not as liberal as most of us would like, but we could do worse Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #69

I hope a primary will turn her more to the left. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #70

I remember during the 2008 primaries Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #71

Cnn still thinks the 2012 election is too close to call. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #73

LOL! And the last time I tuned in (when I was away last week) Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #74

He is in Israel now. I never cared for him because he seems like he is full of himself. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #75

In the old days, I remember DUers calling him Wolf Baxter - or Ted Blitzer. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #76

He was a good reporter but he is just so annoying. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #77

I never turn on CNN. I had an issue with them back in 2005, I think Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #78

Is Al Jazeera live in the night. The pause in Gaza should be starting now. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #80

Thanks for the reminder! I should tune in after Seth Meyers, LOL. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #82

Is Al Jazeera live overnight? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #83

I think it is sometimes, live from foreign news bureaus Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #84

Well I doubt there will be much news overnight unless someone fires. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #85

They're having a series of reports right now. This one is about the California drought Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #86

lol. Well we shall see. praying for peace. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #87

I know. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #88

The story of the 4 kids was just horrible. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #89

Not to mention the young men recently... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #90

I went in there today and I doubt I will go back much. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #91

Somehow, I think it's worse on DU.3. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #92

It makes religion look civil, and the religion room is not civil. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #93

It's probably less stressful on MIRT! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #94

Well at least this term is civil and peaceful. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #95

That's all we can ask for! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #96

And two less visitors. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #97

Well, that, too... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #98

life would be easier. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #99

Good to hear - thanks for posting this!!! Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #22

CSX: 15-30 oil trains move weekly on Hudson River line Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #72

I think the SCOTUS could easily find this violates the corporations' nonexistent merrily Jul 2014 #79

No doubt, but fortunately New York has stood firm on this Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #81
