| New England fishermen facing a dire future for their industry asked Congress in a letter Tuesday for immediate help surviving deep and impending cuts to their catch limits. The letter, signed by 173 fishermen in ports from Connecticut to Maine, came as the industry prepares for May 1 catch reductions that fishermen warn could finish off the fleet. A 77 percent cut in the catch limit for cod in the Gulf of Maine and

Scott Brown fought as hard as he could to prevent this from happening. Warren is all for it. But then, she can probably afford to pay $50 a pound for cod or haddock, if there actually is any to be bought.

Once the small family fish operations are destroyed, then Crony pals using Unions will return. Unions and their pals will then kick back some of the forced Union dues to the dear leader.

This is simply a matter of when to bite the bullet.
We can eiher manage the fisheries with some level of responsibility and keep cutting back on quotas until we can be sure that the fising stocks are replenishing themselves, or...
We can keep depleting the fish populations at unsustainable rates until they completely disappear and then EVERYONE will be put out of business along with the possibly permamnent destruction of these important food supplies for a growing world population.
Depletion of our fishing stocks is a real and urgent global scale problem, unlike the phoney global warming fantasy.

Being a resident of one of the major fishing home ports in Massachusetts with friends in the industry I know that the industry will be shut down by all of the regulations...and I don´t care. The fishermen and their families have been supporting big government officials with their votes and their donations and now it is all coming home to roost. The local newspaper - The Standard Times -will support anyone running for office who has a (D) after their name and mocks any conservative thought. Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy are worshiped by these fishermen and their families and their friends. They wanted big government in their industry and now they have it. I will not shed one tear for them. Nor should anyone else.

#5, I´m no expert, but it would seem to me that for every fish that´s caught, there are thousands more still swimming around out there. This whole thing smells fishy (I couldn´t resist) - just like everything else the left gets it grubby hands on.

This may be an opportunity to encourage fish farming, or mariculture, on the New England coast. Not sure if cod would adjust to a shallow, warmer water environment, but it may be feasible as wild caught fish face depletion.
Fish farms off of the Kennedy compound in Hyannis might also be better received than giant windmills.

This is blue state whine. They voted for Obama. This is what they want. Go home and quit fishing. It is destroying the environment and your vessels are causing climate change. Be a happy communist.

@#5: Get real. The oceans have been fished for hundreds of years and there has never been a fish shortage. This is nothing more than enviro groups trying to do away with fishing altogether.

The leading edge of a large, powerful winter storm descended on the western United States on Wednesday, dropping snow as far south as Tucson, Arizona, and snarling evening rush-hour traffic in Denver. Snowfall sweeping the southeastern corner of Arizona blanketed the saguaro cactus-studded high desert with several inches of white stuff, leading the Professional Golfers´ Association to cancel play at a tournament near Tucson.

New York state relies on gimmicks and nonrecurring revenue to pay for rising pension costs and the most-generous Medicaid benefits in the U.S., said a group led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and former Lieutenant Governor Richard Ravitch.. Annual pension contributions may increase 31 percent .. Retirement obligations and health care are outdistancing revenues at an ever-increasing pace .. To balance New York’s budget, state officials have relied on about $25 billion in nonrecurring, or “one-shot,” revenue actions, over the past 10 years

Israel’s ambassador, Arthur Avon.. We advise Israelis who travel here and want to go to the synagogue that they should only put their kippah on once they are inside.. They shouldn’t wear them on the street, even in areas that are considered safe.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
