EPA Sued for Bee Colony Collapse Cover-Up

Government Plunder of the Week:
EPA Sued for Bee Colony Collapse Cover-Up
Over the past two years, beekeepers have reported an alarming and potentially catastrophic loss of bees from their hives ranging anywhere from 30-90 percent. This "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD) isn’t just a problem for beekeepers and farmers, but for consumers as well, since bee pollination is essential for crop production. The USDA claims that one out of every three mouthfuls of food is dependant on bee pollination. Experts have been researching CCD and have linked the die-off to a number of likely culprits.

One of the likely killers is a new pesticide, clothianidin, approved by the EPA in 2003. Germany and France have banned this type of pesticide to protect their bee population. In the U.S., clothianidin was approved after Bayer CropScience, the chemical’s maker, submitted required studies to the EPA regarding the chemical’s impact on bees and the environment. Now the EPA is suspiciously and illegally refusing to release these public documents. To expose this cover-up and hopefully to save the bees, last week the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a lawsuit against the agency.

How many disappointed Hillary supporters do you know who would vote for McCain, now that he’s chosen an anti-choice female running mate?

Hi, I am moving and wanting to divest myself of a few things that perhaps others might like. They are:

2. A 16-cassette program for anxiety and depression. Contains all the basic concepts, such as relaxation techniques -- good for someone who does not already have much exposure to basic concepts in dealing with these maladies.

3. A Lava lamp -- blue liquid with green lava

4. Two vibrators, one for muscles, with a lot of different types of heads you can put on the vibrator, and another specifically for women. THey don’t need batteries, they each have a long power cord.
