A Couple of Changes at Benny's World

Hi Readers,

Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately. I've been busy helping Mr. Benny get ready to move to our Plantation, FL rental condo. Takes up a tremendous amount of energy.

Couple of changes at Benny's World in terms of the links. I have added Rep Alan Grayson's website. Alan Grayson is the most progressive member of the House next to Dennis K and supports the public option for health insurance reform. He's also very funny. He did an eloquent smackdown of Sarah Palin recently when she went to Orlando and criticized him. He also blogs at the Daily Kos, which is really kewl.

JREG bit the dust and no longer exists. It appears that JFrew, the blog owner, has redirected the URL to Andrew Young's book, and since I have no interested in publicizing the work, I have removed the link altogether. I'm sorry it went away, but I don't blame the owner either for disbanding it out of respect to Elizabeth Edwards.

In late April, I will be making some other changes to this blog in order to reflect the values of a former Edwards ideas supporter and one that appreciated Elizabeth more than John in the first place. Hopefully, I will have more time to blog then.

Marsha Blackburn is No Match for Al Gore

I saw this at Taylor Marsh's site this morning. It was a pitiful attempt by Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn to corner Al Gore into saying that his work on protecting the environment for 30 years was for "personal benefit." Here's the clip from C-SPAN:



Al Gore called her on the carpet. And Marsha Blackburn looked like a fool.

Republicans haven't figured out how to score points gracefully and with whom after their big loss last November. Marsha Blackburn, who is from Al Gore's home state, obviously doesn't understand how to pick a bone with a Nobel Laureate.

Ed Markey was correct that Al Gore hasn't changed his tune or practices about global warming and Gore is a great patriot in wanting to save our planet. I don't care if Al Gore personally made some money from it, but he says it goes into a non-profit and I believe him.
