Waterbury, Vt. – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow’s milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman. – WPTZ NewsChannel 5 (Birlington VT)

A MUST READ – FEDS BAILOUT AND MORE
A stunner of a report by the famous Art Cashin….
AN ENCORE PRESENTATION – On this day in 1780, a rider was halted by three members of the Revolutionary Army. He claimed to have been on a romantic excursion and offered his watch as a bribe. Unusual for America, the uthorities turned down the bribe and searched the captive. In his shoes, they found detailed drawings of the defenses at West Point. So they arrested Major John Andre, Adj. Gen. to the Brits in NY. After re-reading the shoe plans, rebel officers determined that they could have only come from the American commander of the fort, one Benedict Arnold. Ironically, Arnold had gotten the early reports that a spy had been captured, so Arnold took the early horse to NYC and British safety.

Republicans Question Bailout – Funding Stalls
Posted by Jack
A number of key Republicans in Congress have questioned the wisdom of the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve for orchestrating an $85 billion bailout of American International Group, and they seem to be a little ticked off at the White House for not informing them of the plan.
“Once again the Fed has put the taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars to bail out an institution that put greed ahead of responsibility and used their good name to take risky bets that did not pay off,” said Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Kentucky, a member of the Senate Banking Committee.
A spokesman for Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the committee, said the senator “profoundly disagrees with the decision to use taxpayer dollars to bail out a private company” and is upset the government has sent an inconsistent message to the markets by bailing out AIG after it just refused to save investment bank Lehman Brothers from bankruptcy.
“The American taxpayer should not be asked to unwillingly assume the inordinate risks that financial experts knowingly undertook, particularly when taxpayer exposure is increased by the ad hoc manner in which these bailouts have been engineered,” said Shelby’s aide, Jonathan Graffeo.
Republican Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri complained about not getting a heads-up about the bailout and said House Republicans are struggling to “understand a coherent strategy” about which firms get rescued and which ones don’t.
Rep. Adam Putman of Florida, the third-ranking Republican in the House, said the cost is “unnerving” and called on the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve “to dispatch an envoy to the Hill to bring members of Congress up to speed.”

Dems Yell Uncle on Offshore Drilling
Posted by Tina
Democrats have decided to allow a quarter-century ban on drilling for oil off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to expire next week, conceding defeat in an month-long battle with the White House and Republicans set off by $4 a gallon gasoline prices this summer. (A) provision continuing the moratorium will be dropped this year from a stopgap spending bill to keep the government running after Congress recesses for the election.
REMEMBER, They will be back next year to reverse this if we give them unchecked power.
VOTE…it’s your life, your family, and your livlihood we’re talking about…not to mention our great country.

“It is ironic that the fundamental disagreement between Jews and Palestinians today is not about whether there should be a Palestinian state; most Israeli Jews accepted that long ago. It is about whether there should be a Jewish one. – “How the other fifth lives, by Gideon Lichfield, journalist – The Economist, April 3, 2008
