Second Siemens Wind Turbine Plant to Open in Illinois

Friday film reminder:

"War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death"
Friday, July 11, 7 p.m., Countryside Church UU, 1025 N. Smith Rd.,  
Palatine, IL
This film explores the history of tactics used by U.S.  
administrations and media, from Vietnam to the present, to justify  
foreign wars. Writer Norman Solomon avoids partisanship to look at  
the big picture. There will be discussion after the film.

=== National news not so good.

Yesterday, we had the Congressional sell-out on FISA. Here's the  
summary from one of my favorite organizations (started following them  
long before political awakening), EFF.org:

Senate Joins House in Caving to White House Immunity Demands

And then, President [sic] Bush telling it like it is on carbon  
emissions:

Bush to G8: 'Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter' President  
George Bush signed off with a defiant farewell over his refusal to  
accept global climate change targets at his last G8 summit. As he  
prepared to fly out from Japan, he told his fellow leaders: "Goodbye  
from the world's biggest polluter."
