Bookmarks for November 16th

Some additional reading November 16th from 12:37 to 21:47:

  • Consumers are checking their gas bills twice — chicagotribune.com – "Anthony Palermo's Nicor gas bill says he owes $104 this month, but the Melrose Park resident knows better.

    For the second month in a row, the gas company estimated his usage.

    And for the second month in a row, the gas company was wrong.

    Nicor claims he has used 153 therms of gas since it gave him a new outdoor meter this summer. Palermo read the meter himself Nov. 8, a day after he received his bill. His total usage was 49 therms."

  • Legume – Wikipedia – "Legume plants are noteworthy for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, thanks to a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria known as rhizobia found in root nodules of these plants. The ability to form this symbiosis reduces fertilizer costs for farmers and gardeners who grow legumes, and allows legumes to be used in a crop rotation to replenish soil that has been depleted of nitrogen."
  • Talking Points Memo | More Muscle – "Here is something progressives really need to address. On Sunday morning political shows, three Democrats are confirmed as guests: Carl Levin, Barney Frank, and Charlie Rangel. It's as if Democrats didn't just win huge electoral advances in the Presidential, House, and Senate elections. So we get the same thing we've had the past 8 years–republican hegemony on Sunday."

    Probably the biggest reason I don't bother with the Sunday morning talk shows: they are not interested in Liberal viewers like me.
