Should just do away with the MSA, and stop fueling the transnational corporate canneries and Banks...open access A...Holes!
@ 10:16, while I'm sure there are plenty of things you can criticize Don Young of, his effectiveness is not one of them:
"He says Young scored highly year after year. He was 11th in his freshman term, out of nearly 200 Republicans. Eight times, according to their formula, Young was the No. 1 most effective Republican. When he chaired the House Natural Resources Committee Young was really at the top of his game, Prof. Volden says, even when compared to other chairmen."

You should change your site name to desk boss. You aren't a fisherman.
