"Projected to become the number one source of imported oil to the United States"

The Alberta Tar Sands project....

The splendor of North America being raped and left a grey expanse of filth.

Oh... and a bunch of people having their health destroyed.

Naomi Klein speaks about it from about the 5 minute mark:

A pig is a pig - but gun sights are butterflies

"Rebecca Mansour, an aide to Palin, said the images were never meant to evoke violence. Mansour, who has been tweeting in defence of her boss since Saturday's massacre, said the cross-hairs were never intended to be gun sights. "We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights," she said. "It was simply cross-hairs like you'd see on maps". "

Oh... like cherubs blowing from the corners and little sea serpents swimming around in unknown oceans. Of course.
Funny thing is I've NEVER seen cross-hairs on maps.
Not on ones that aren't hare-brained anyway.

"She added that "it never occurred to us that anybody would consider it violent" "

No. You don't see guns as objects of violence...
That and you're fucking stupid, lying, or both.

"Following initial controversy over the target map last year, Palin - who is known for her use of violent language and hunting lexicon - responded with her rallying cry: "Don't retreat. RELOAD." "

Yeah he tried to.

Somebody help that dog...!

It's late at night on Saturday and it's been hailing and thundering after a muggy early autumn day.

Magpie the hard man - tall, bald and bad - is actually a complete softie. This pic is all over the net and it breaks him up...
