1. Do I see a pattern here along with the 700+ exemptions from Obamacare to date?
   It appears the SOP is to ram the legislation through, give out exemptions based on political support / cash than let the little people deal with it when the unintended consequences arise.

2. Obamacare exemptions
   EPA Carbon tax exemptions
   Justice Dept Black Panther exemptions

3. GM & Chrysler dealerships of Republican donors closed, DemocRat’s stay open…
   Yeah, we remember that.

4. These are not the kickbacks you are looking for. move along now.
   old Jedi mind trick

5. The Chicago mob knows how to sell protection.

6. Some CO2 molecules are more equal than others.

7. Two important points are illustrated by this:
   1. It’s an example of crony capitalism at its very worst.
   2. Anyone who claims that the Democrats aren’t [also] in bed with corporations is either a liar or in deep denial.

8. What is the definition of “Political Corruption”?
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_corruption
   Is there a resemblance to real life of the current president of the US?

9. GE CEO Jeff Immelt has done business with Iran for years.
   He has given a lot of tech knowledge to the Islamists.
   Perfect guy for Obama’s cabinet.

10. This is similar to how the Chrysler dealerships run by Democrat campaign contributors got bailouts while the Republican run dealerships got closed.
    It’s fascism in action.
    It’s a good thing Obama is simply a narcissist and isn’t an ideologue./

11. Doesn’t a society governed by rule of law necessitate equal application of said laws?

12. I recall a while back reading about the different modern means of propulsion of Naval units.
    COSAG = Combined Steam and Gas
    CODAG = Combined Diesel and Gas
    CODAD = Combined Diesel and Diesel
    COGAG = Combined Gas and Gas
    CODAD and COGAG involved small cruising engines and large flank speed engines.
    CODAG involved a small diesel for efficient cruising or/and Gas for instant massive power.
    For many years experience with steam the problem was not efficiency but bulk and slow response to a sudden need for full power…getting up steam IOW. The needs of naval propulsion are flexibility, low space considerations and fuel efficiency. One of the problems of gas turbines is the space necessary for the huge exhaust uptakes…involved with the huge mass flow involved. Then there is the problems of the stack gases high heat effecting sensor arrays.
    COSAGAG was a sensible avenue….using small cruising gas turbines and large flank gas turbines with the incredibly hot exhaust trunked through a steam boiler. The problem for naval propulsion was that in smaller units such as destroyers…there were back-pressure issues involved in using the boilers…..
    These were still experimental in large cruisers on up.
    Most of these issues would not be present in a massive power plant. Mind you much care must be involved in the boiler design….resistance to high heat and low backpressure.
    The irony here is that GE is one developing this clever, extremely flexible power source….ideal for dealing with peak loads…literally at the flip of a switch. With a thermal efficiency of about 80%……most internal combustion engines manage about 20-30% if ya rush. Some diesels get maybe 40%….maybe…..
    Meanwhile GE is a, if not the, major player in manufacturing the expensive, inflexable, unreliable bird blending wind turbines.
