Great blog entry deal by Thom Hartmann

I mean GODDAMN!!! What the FUCK! This is TRULY a classic "WHAT THE SHIT!!!" article headline: In a new study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, every single fish tested from 291 freshwater streams across the United States was found to be contaminated with mercury.
Well that's nice, if you're goal it to somehow become (dare I say EVOLVE into!) a human-thermometer!!! Pro-life shit-eating rat-fuckers will say not a WORD about this, ironic don't ya think?! After all, MERCURY CAUSES DEFECTS IN FETII!!! (Or whatever the proper pluralization of "fetus" is, look it up on your own, I don't really give a shit at this point!) And we all know how the good little xians love the fetus but hate the child, so I'm sitting here on the edge of my seat WAITING for the TSUNAMI of "biblical" (pardon the pun!) OUT-FUCKING-RAGE from these goddamn so-called PRO-LIFE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take your fucking time y'all. No rush...I'm patient...and I know, it'll NEVER happen...not so long as whoever asshole retard moron with an "R" after their name rectally feeds you some bullshit, like "well, if we got rid of pollution, that'd dun get rid of jobs" line of SHIT!!!! I don't know what's the more pressing issue to our Earth's environment is at this point: the mercury pollution in fresh waters, OR THE POLLUTION OF STUPIDITY IN THE HUMAN GENOME.

Why are we the only stupid industrialized country in the world?
The postal service this week announced it would be cutting as many as 30,000 jobs through attrition - using hiring freezes as workers retire or quit. According to American Postal Workers Union president William Burrus, cutting the U.S. Postal Service delivery to five days a week would be the beginning of the demise of the Post office. Burrus says it's not true that the postal service has to initiate major changes to survive a grave crisis. Burrus says a little-known requirement by Congress for the postal service to pre-pay retiree health care obligations is the central cause of financial problems at the postal service. Absent that burden, the union president says, there would be a surplus of $3.7 billion over the last three fiscal years. In other words, if we had Medicare for All, the postal service would be profitable. Probably forever. Why are we the only stupid industrialized country in the world?
In a new study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, every single fish tested from 291 freshwater streams across the United States was found to be contaminated with mercury. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said, "This study shows just how widespread mercury pollution has become in our air, watersheds and many of our fish in freshwater streams." It's very damaging to the developing nervous systems of fetuses and children, and can have severe effects on adults. Mercury enters the environment as atmospheric emissions from industrial processes, mostly from the burning of coal for electricity. It eventually concentrates in rivers, lakes and oceans, where it enters the aquatic food chain. There is no such thing as clean coal, even though our President used the phrase in his state of the Union address. And we're now seeing an epidemic of autism in the United States that may be connected to contaminated Chinese toys, or to mercury, or both. Welcome to the brave new corporate world.
