Schumer: Senate Dems can sustain Obama KXL veto

Update: The White House has confirmed that President Obama will veto KXL if bill gets to his desk.

As the Keystone XL pipeline looms as a GOP Waterloo Democratic leadership is confident that President Obama's likely veto can be sustained.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on CBS’s Face The Nation that Senate Democrats have enough votes to sustain the widely expected veto that President Obama will issue after Republicans pass a bill authorizing the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Republicans are going to try to spin this veto as the president being against job creation, but enough Senate Democrats will stand with the president to sustain his veto. Republicans better get used to it, because they don’t have enough votes to pass anything on their own. Congressional Democrats and President Obama are going to present a unified front against Republicans giving Big Oil the gift of Keystone XL. [Jason Easley]

Pipelines moving diluted bitumen and Bakken crude are creating jobs in the sex trade: anathemas to any perceived success created by Big Energy.

And Senate KXL hearing scheduled for tmrw is CANCELLED. They jumped the gun again, & it backfired #bittersweet #noKXL http://t.co/DLtNu5XhIr

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
