James, you are exactly right. I have seen hedge prices on gas through 2016. They are far better than spot prices. In addition, as the newer shale plays age and settle into predictable production levels, with lower declines, they will become great targets for MLP acquisitions. The wells may not produce like they did in their first 5 years, but they will continue at a stable rate for years to come.

Iran wants nuclear weapons so it can destroy Israel and they have publicly said as much. Why would anybody stand idly by and allow that to happen? Nearly everyday, there are news accounts of Egyptian Coptic Christians being massacred by muslims, that is nothing to be proud of. Of course, Iran would most likely still be a peaceful, stable, pro-western country if we hadn't been plagued with Jimmy Carter in the first place. Egypt would likely still be a mostly peaceful, pro-western ally if we hadn't been plagued with Jimmy Carter 2.0.

Weren't you posting about human rights a few comments ago? Where are the rights of the Coptic Christians in Egypt? Where are the rights of Israelis to not live in fear of some islamic nutjob nuking their country?

Why do you support Mr. Peanut having a say on the matter and declare that ConstLiberty has no say?

Oh wait, I'm using facts and logic with a liberal. My mistake. I'm sure Libya will turn out much better. (rolls eyes)

"If the only people who can come here in the future are those who have money, it's going to hurt everyone's educational experience,"

No, it would not. Just imagine this statement as it might apply to a restaurant, a movie theater, an amusement park, you get the idea. If the only people who go to X are people who are paying money to be at X, the quality of the "experience" for everybody would improve dramatically.

I think he should be able to have his free education at Berkeley, he just has to teach there for free for as many years as he attends school there. Let his dumb a s s figure out how the world works. I bet it wouldn't take long.

That's what the new $400 billion is for, he's already used all the stimulus money buying votes and he needs more.

Its really not that surprising if you consider the % of Americans that pay no taxes is about 44%. Why wouldn't they support him? He continually promises them a larger share of the proceeds earned by those who are paying all the taxes.

"Give ME a win, give ME a break."

There's so much in so few words there. First, its more ME! ME! ME! talk from the narcissist in chief, but beyond that there is more. He's doing what he has done his whole life: he stamps his foot and says, "I want, gimme" because that's all he has known his whole life, he's never had to actually work. Further, he considers this to be a personal win, he isn't interested in how much harm it will do, he just wants his precious bill passed. Its all a game to him, lives mean nothing, its all about how much of his agenda he can cram through the Congress, consequences be damned.

Didn't the mooslimbs team up with the Nazis (via the islamofascist 'Mufti of Jerusalem') during WWII to help exterminate the Jews? The Mufti met with Hitler and recruited 20,000 mooslimbs to join the SS. The Mufti also wanted the support of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy to oppose the Jew's rightful claims to what later became the roots of the Zionist movement and eventually led to the creation of Israel (from lands legally purchased by Jews). The islamofascists were intent on killing Jews then, just as the Nazis were. The only difference is that Nazis lost the war and realized their wrongs. The mooslimbs still think the Jews (and other infidels) should be exterminated or made to convert to islam.

Of course, you don't know any of this "vhistory," you should change your avatar to "vdenier"

Liberals are incapable of taking responsibility and they'll be back for more money, too. After they waste the $20 billion on rubber boots for turtles and union payoffs, they'll be crying that there just isn't enough money to "help the people" and they'll be shaking down BP again.

48% failure rate for the government plan "...And some of the largest mortgage companies in the program have offered alternative programs to those who fell out. "

So the private sector is doing better than the government "bureaucratic nightmare"...hmm thats interesting. I wonder if there's a lesson to be learned here.
