Now, Laugh Your Ass Off

Thanks for the laugh, Larry.  The Dims are coming unraveled.  They voted for Chance the Gardner (Being There), when they all projected their ideas, wishes, etc., on Obama when he was the unknown, untried, inexperienced slock; now in these black majority districts, it’s just vote for the black guy even if he responds like a mushroom.  I hear it’s the same with the district that put Hank (don’t let Guam tip over Johnson)…he’ll be re-elected until he decides to retire or dies in office. Shame on them.  I feel sorry for Mr. Greene.

Thanks for the laugh, Larry.  The Dims are coming unraveled.  They voted for Chance the Gardner (Being There), when they all projected their ideas, wishes, etc., on Obama when he was the unknown, untried, inexperienced schlock; now in these black majority districts, it’s just vote for the black guy even if he responds like a mushroom.  I hear it’s the same with the district that put Hank (don’t let Guam tip over Johnson)…he’ll be re-elected until he decides to retire or dies in office. Shame on them.  I feel sorry for Mr. Greene.

I decided to get my “news” from NQ on the speech as well, felizarte.  I just go over the top when he pontificates. 

Hilarious, Larry.  After Thee One’s Oval Office yawner, I needed that.  Funny thing is, with the free press he is going to get, Greene is likely to get more votes against DeMint than Rawl would have.  

Well, at least they did a few things right.

Maybe the Dumbocrats thought they were voting for the Green Party candidate!

In 2004 I worked as a volunteer for Wesley Clark’s presidential campaign in South Carolina.  On the Democratic primary election day I was an official observer at a rural voting site outside of Columbia, S.C.  I observed and reported to campaign headquarters that a Columbia City Councilwoman who supported John Kerry was doing illegal electioneering.  She stood right at the entrance handing out copies of the actual ballot with the names that she wanted people to vote for marked.  I was told that many of the people voting in the Democratic primary were illiterate and needed to have the marked ballot with them in order to be able to mark their ballot for the “real deal” candidate John Kerry.  Some big handsome AA stud who looked to be working with the councilwoman laughingly told me he would throw me and my coworker into the Congaree Swamp if we made trouble.

What the hell did they do right?

All I can say is what has this country come to since O got in what a mess. Has Matthews finally lost that tingle going up and down his leg………Hillary said he wasn’t ready for that 3 o’clock phone call and I guess we finally found that out………

It’s not definite:  Obama wasn’t ready for any call at whatever o’clock.

It’s now definite:  Obama was and is NOT ready for any call at whatever O’CLOCK.

I think Palin nailed the issue on the O’reilly show.

You could actually look in Obama eyes and see the back of his head.  I think Al Green is his speech writer.  I can’t believe this clown is the president.  He has absolutely no clue as to anything.  What a waste of oxygen !!  He make a very strong arguement for retroactive abortion !!!

LJ…..too funny!   The 3 MSNBC clowns remind me of the  Three Stooges!!  WTH, they enabled Barry Soetoro to become POTUS…..Their constant attacks on Hillary Clinton, their blind adoration o the messiah!  Chris, forgets, by sending thousands of youth to the gulf, they wind up sick?  Asshole, unless Barry supplies  adequate protective gear-wait, he follows BP’s lead an they say-there is no danger!

Perhaps Soros want to buy BP real cheap which might explain Baracks slow-motion reaction to solving the problem–even from the environmental POV alone.

Barry Soetoro should make the best executive decision of his presidency…………………retire old man slush Biden, health reasons, apoint the only  competent grown up in his administration as VP.  Hillary Clinton, let her run the show…..Barry can than attend all of  his other  engagements!, Clinton, 2012!

Are you sure that wasn’t a Shirley Temple? BO’s not supposed to drink alcohol..

Please note some of the definitions of “bushwacker” on urbandictionary.com:

one who trims their pubic hair on a regular basis.

someone who uses surprise tactics to overtake their opponent.

Gawkers, always males and usually Mexican, that hang out on the cliffs, hills or dunes around a nude beach.

A stupid ho.

A fan of hirsute women.

One who tries to make personal gain by the distruction of others regardless of truth, fact or ethics.

Well now, looking at those definitions, I can see why Obama might have chosen that drink.

I listened to Bachman tonight on Mark Levin.

I listened to Palin tonight on O’Reilly.

I watched the latest video with C Christie.

I listened to Brewer last time she was on Greta.

These are the only people that I have heard that have the courage to tell the truth as to what this country is really up against.  They have solutions and the guts to act.

140 days until November 2, 2010

I pray Obama can be impeached before 2012!

>:o

Cannot bear to hear that name Soros!

My mother used to say sympathy is in the dictionary between shit and syphillis. …Notice that Soros fits in there, too.

Well now, looking at those definitions, I can see why Obama might have chosen that drink.

Other than it starts with his favorite syllable.

You are always spot on, Carol!

Try Center for American Progress….

All of the above, except I don’t know about Brazil.

I want Greene to win because it will be such a burr to the political establishment.

I’ve love Jon Stewart…lately.
He does  have lots of good material to work with, fresh “Daily”.
Didn’t they used to say that the comedians couldn’t find anything humorous about Obama?

My likes seem to disappear frequently

The world is upside down officially when MSNBC criticizes their Chosen One.  They’re coming down hard off that Kool-Aid!

He’s smarter than most of the people in the Senate.
And he’s a criminal BEFORE he gets in office, which is kind of enlightening.

If you didn’t watch Odumbo’s speech tonight. You missed an important clue to his agenda in dealing with the Gulf. All through the beginning part of his speech. He had atleast a serious pose on his face as he read off the teleprompter. But once he got to the part where he is going to be pushing his cap and trade ponzi scam. He had such a smarmy look on his face. Any police officer in the world would know that look as someone who is about to commit a crime and is sure he’ll get away with it. Those who did watch…tell me if I’m wrong. Or did you too notice the self serving smirk on that arrogant jackasses face as he plotted his multi trillion dollar ponzi scheme to rob Americans and make Soros richer!

I hope they suffer with really bad shakes and are continuously sick as they are drying out!
May they walk around with a permanent headache till he is out of office!

Oh, and your assessment is correct!

Are we the only people who see this walking train wreck, Just me?

One thing is sure, Sarah would have had them on the phone on day 1 and probably have gone down there with a team of people who could find out what the hell was going on. As she said, you don’t leave it to the oil guys to tell you the truth about any situation.  You go find out.

It’s crash time.

My favorite curse from the Middle East:  ”May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.”

I’m cracking up because on bot sites they are bemoaning that his speech had no specifics.  They never noticed that his speeches NEVER have specifics…..?????????????  I want to type “ROFL”, but really, it’s just really sad….

So, from what I’m reading online, it sounds like he didn’t speak too much about fixing this current crisis, but focused on his agenda of cap and trade/tax.  (never let a good crisis go to waste)

I suppose he didn’t bother to mention that he belongs to (one of the founding members of…?) the Chicago Climate Commission, and stands to make beaucoup bucks…?

Quite a difference when JFK gave a crisis speech.

before he started blabbing he had a stupified expression of a deer in the headlights. He was probably scared to death that TOTUS might not be working.

Well, this may be way off course, but here’s a possibility.  I rarely read Hillbuzz anymore, but I remember they used to have a theory that he has Parkinson’s, because they knew someone who was in Obama’s library room in his Chicago home, and it was full of books on Parkinson’s.  I’d have to watch other speeches to see what he did with his hands on those occassions, but I don’t think I have the stomach.

I remember Michael J. Fox saying that he tries to keep his hands moving to either quiet or hide the tremors.

Even the accidents are convenient as the crises “never go to waste”. I remember people saying there wasn’t time to get cap and tax this year. Well before the “accident” there wasn’t time. Convenient. Like the rest of the crises. Damn convenient.

NLBIB if you add like then post all your likes disappear for some reason.
So once you have read and added your likes refresh the page and then go back in to add your post!

I am waiting for the day sombody hacks the teleprompter. I wonder if he would notice?

Since we are talking refreshments I prefer a rum ration of Mojitos, Mai Tais; and plenty of quality Vitamin V Vodka Martini’s with a quark of dry vermouth. No flavored Martinis – although I had a Key Lime martini with graham cracker crumbs on the rim and it was exactly the flavor of a good key lime pie.

And for after dinner/late night – Irish Coffee with Baileys and Jameson but hold the coffee.

And for sippin, some quality Tennesee moonshine. Mmm Good.

Quick OT – AZ governor on Greta, and another AZ guy, they’re going to do something about not “gifting” citizenship on people born here to foreign parents.  They realize that state law doesn’t cover that, it would be a federal law, but they want to get a fight going to the Supremes so that finally we can have clear, defensible definitions of “citizen” and “natural born citizen”.  Which, by the way, would prevent a lot of border jumping, since many women do it to have the baby in the US.  Now they could just stay home…..  and focus on cleaning up their own country, make some demands there….

Instead of these three stooges being praised for finally seeing the light, they should be strung up somewhere for their role in assuring this know-nothing’s election as well as their role in the utter chaos and potential disaster that we are facing.  

Still, however, I do not believe this is the ’worm turning’.  These three fools are die-hards.  Forget 0bama.  They’ve got to protect their own semblance of journalistic integrity – even if it doesn’t match our definition. 

I don’t care what these three say from here on.  Like 0bama, I can hardly bare to hear them speak.

Well, I missed a detail.  It was the 14th amendment which stated that citizenship cannot be granted to aliens, not even if they are born here to illegals.  The point of the 14th amendment was to give blacks citizenship, since they were born here.  It was never meant to be applied to aliens.  They also said that the only other country that gifts citizenship to babies is Canada.  No one else does.

i wondered if it was just me about the hands.  what was up with that, seriously. 

 ”May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.”  And other places as well.

The link is not working Annie

I had’t watched any msnbc in two years. I think maybe Matthews gets it. Olberman even is acting as if he gets it as well. No he doesn’t have any specifics. Then again he never did. “Hope and change” isn’t a specific. Neither is an unqualified “clean energy”. Clean compared to what exactly? Nuclear? Coal? Tar Sands? “Clean Energy” means nothing without details.

From Robinson:

“The Washington Post reported Monday that the administration has received offers of assistance from 17 nations. Sweden has volunteered to send three ships that can each collect about 15,000 gallons of oil an hour. Norway has offered to send nearly a third of its oil-spill response equipment. Japan has offered to send some boom, which authorities on the scene complain is in short supply.”

“The Swedes, the Norwegians, the Japanese and most of the other would-be Samaritans are still waiting to hear from the U.S. government or BP. Last week, according to the Post, the administration did ask the European Union to help with any specialized equipment it might have. But meanwhile, oil has penetrated the marshes of southern Louisiana and is lapping onto the beaches of Alabama and Florida. The main spill is spreading, and hurricane season is upon us.”

“Every available piece of equipment in the world that can vacuum, skim, scoop or sop up oil ought to be in the Gulf by now, deployed under a central — probably military — command structure. The beaches should be defended as if from a threatened enemy invasion. This is a time for overkill, for the Powell Doctrine, for “decisive force.”

As Larry would say, a “no shit” analysis.

I hope this Alvin Green situation is going to be investigated to the hilt.  So…..why would the republicans create a plant to run for that seat when they have a popular US Senator in SC that would probably win by a landslide?  (Certainly not popular from my perspective, but popular none the less.)   

First of all I am highly suspicious that Rep James Clyburn would run to a microphone and get out front with his condemnation of this “nominated” dem US Senate candidate who happens to be AA.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Green turns out to be a “Clyburn Plant”.   Clyburn was the architect and executioner of 0bama’s primary win in SC in 2008 that was a huge boost to 0′s candidacy nationwide.   With AAs having a 55-60% registration in SC they look to Clyburn for their every move.  It is no accident that Alvin Green got 60% of the dem vote in last week’s SC primary.

In 2008 Clyburn successfully convinced the DNC to change SC’s presidential primary from mid summer to being the  third contest in the country behind Iowa and New Hampshire, giving AAs an early voice in choosing the dem nominee.  Michigan and Florida were severely punished for doing the same thing.  Clyburn had the magic ingredient of being AA and the House of Rep’s majority whip.  It appeared that only AAs knew about the 2008 primary since many of the planned activities  for the week prior to the primary were planned around MLK’s birthday.

Those events included a march to the capitol in Columbia that B0 couldn’t make, but Hillary and John Edwards did.  Clyburn also got one of the debates to be held in SC scheduling it for that week of MLK’s birthday.   The audience was primarily AA because Clyburn had control of the tickets.  I tried to get tickets to no avail. 

Clyburn used the race card to racebait and humiliate Bill Clinton to keep his AA followers in line for B0 and angry at the Clintons.  It worked like a charm since the AAs trust this political criminal implicitly.  This was where Clyburn twisted Clinton’s “fairytale” remarks to look like BC was calling 0bama’s campaign a fairytale when he was referring to both Hillary and 0bama’s war votes as identical yet 0bama was trying to look like he had voted against sending troops to Iraq while Hillary voted to send troops.  Only problem was, 0bama didn’t vote on sending troops because he wasn’t even in the US Senate then.  His was a “reference” to a speech in which he denounced sending the troops.

So – with that kind of political mafia history, Clyburn is subject to doing anything.  It may be that he thought this Green fellow could win over Jim Demint if he (Clyburn) played the cards right – er – and programed the voting machines to do this dirty deed.  Clyburn needs to be thoroughly investigated to make sure he had no role in this craziness.  I strongly suspect he did.   I would further say, his condemnation remarks were simply to cover his a**.
    

“hurrican season is upon us”…Well alrighty then.  That’s just what Thee Won was waiting for.  No more trips south…bad weather.

Sounds plausible to me, FranSC.  I feel for you having to put up with the scummy SC politicians down there.  So sad that all these years since the implementation of civil rights that the southern blacks need someone to tell them how to vote…or will automatically vote according to color.

Whipped cream and a cherry on top. What a girly man!

All of the wind and solar project on line today are the equivalent of one (1) producing oil rig. Add too that over 50% or our energy comes from coal. We could completely cover the 5 largest states with wind and solar farms and not meet 10% of our energy needs.

And from reliable Obama chorus girl, Barbara Boxer, a declaration that CO2 is the greatest threat to the planet.  Is she, and Obama proposing a tax on people exhaling?  That has to be the most ignorant statement ever from a carbon based organism.  Imagine all the CO2 breathing and Oxygen exhaling plankton being destroyed by the oil slicked ocean?

Brazil, eh? There are no coincidences in Obamaland.

I won’t watch MSNBC either Docelder. I rely on braver souls to post clips which are about all I can stomach.

That Olberman and Tweety complain about “no specifics” is unbelieveable. He never was specific. And “Hope” was never a plan. Now they realize that? Absolute proof, if we needed any, that the Obamamedia is, as we used to say, dumber than a box of rocks.

I know some think they are sly like a Fox. I don’t. I’m sticking with just partisan and stupid. Which are the same thing.

Ssh FranSC, we aren’t supposed to say anything bad about Jim Clyburn. He’s an AA you know and if you criticize him it’s cause you’re a racist. At least that’s the way the dialog has been going ever since Oblahblah came on the scene.

My God, these people are just so PATHETIC! They were sitting there like cinderfellas waiting for their freakin’ hero to ride in on the black stallion, to save the day, and he was gonna look like a warrior, because this “is a war!” 

It’s not a “war.” Why does everything have to be framed as a “war” for these idiots? Yeah, yeah, I know, because it’s always all about the PR, and they want their man to look macho, because they all believe that’s what will impress voters. 

It’s a disaster, a real, global, and generational disaster. They have no idea how utterly disastrous this really is. They think of nothing but how someone else is going to save us. They’re frightened little children, little authoritarian followers desperate for their daddy, their authoritarian leader.

Dan Froomkin gives a gliimpse of what’s really going on, while these morons vent their dismay at the commander in chief’s big flop.

Just words: Obama’s Oval
Office speech fizzles

Salon Magazine,
by Joan Walsh   

Original Article

6/16/2010

Eh. I was underwhelmed by President Obama’s first Oval Office speech, as I expected to be. From the moment he began, hands folded on his desk like a well-behaved student, the imagery and energy was off, inadequate to the visual, horror-movie scope of the Gulf oil disaster. Obama said some good things. He made a strong call for a transition from our fossil-fuels economy, declaring that “the time to embrace a clean energy future is now.” He said that when he meets with BP chairman Tony Hayward tomorrow, he will tell him he needs to set aside ….

Hahaha! Thee Judge gave us a reprieve with a spectacular thunderstorm that knocked out the power and phone lines!
Meanwhile back in Washington, the media’s hotshot fizzled out! Hahaha!

As much as it pains me to say it, I’m with Tweety on this one.  Why aren’t other oil companies working on this too?  Why aren’t some of the out of work fisherman being paid to lay out boon and clean up the beaches??  At least after Katrina the govt got it’s shit together a week later.  We are 2 months out, and these people seem to be clueless.  Totally disgusted.

If Chrissy McTingle’s little sidekick Joan Walsh isn’t salivating and excusing Oblahblah a new day has dawned. Better get a refill on your Kool-Aid before you start acting/writing rationaly and honestly and your pals don’t recognize you or take your phone calls.

There are only four directions to public office.
Nose up, dribble down, fake right, and roll left!
Give Alvin Greene a pass…yes we can, bro’!

The lack of actual plans/details we all saw in 2008 is finally bubbling to the surface of the kool-aid, like crude oil in salt water…

It’s sad to see the pathetic presidency of Obama play out. He’s such a weak person, with no ability to lead or inspire.

As was said here last week. This environmental disaster was the 3 a.m. phone call and he didn’t answer the phone.

I wish I could do sound effects here.  What immediately comes to mind is the sound of the needle sliding across the record and coming to an abupt halt.  I think this is the first time in over 2 years I’ve listened to anything matthews had to say and that goes for oldbirdman, too.  But I read somewhere that matthews felt job 1 for him was to be barry’s cheerleader and to make sure he was a successful president.  Oh, I get it, this vid isn’t matthews, it’s his evil twin, right?

Three Stooges were at least loyal to their characters and didn’t suddenly straighten up and fly right.  These two are beyond pathetic.  Where are their audience numbers, anyway?  They must be pretty rotten for them to turn on their beloved.

The guy is doing a great job sinking his own Presidency, even better than his enemies and critics could ever hope to accomplish.

More to the point : Have the fisherman hired to cleanup BP’s mess in their leather boots who became ill and disoriented after being told the oil “wouldn’t bother them” finally have filed a restraining order against BP to stop using dispersants without providing appropriate personal protective equipment to workers ?

FACT CHECK:

Obama left blanks in oil spill speech

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100616/ap_on_bi_ge/us_oil_spill_obama_fact_check

You are right.  He didn’t pick-up, listened to the voice mail 6 weeks later and finally got his ass in gear almost 2 weeks after that.

Spiralgate, I agree.
Other than the initial loss of life, it is regrettable that other countries were not enlisted to assist in the Gulf. Now, we can never know if the damages could have been contained early on.

So not only does “O” support states boycotting other states. Las Vegas has lost so much money since opened his mouth. Now we have tourists from other countries deciding to boycott the USA!
What a great uniter!

hell no, why? I mean, there are those who didn’t want Sarah anywhere near Washington and she’s much smarter than Obama, and now we have choruses of wanting Greene in the senate? What is it with this country that we want to elect the most stupid people to govern us?

Speaking of Alvin Greene: What in the world did he do for 13 years when he was in the army, and how did he graduate from college with a degree in political science if he’s such a dolt?

It’s the same with all of the things that have been produced from the Space Program – you know, the other thing Obama has canceled.

Don’t forget about asphalt roads for them to drive their electric go-carts around on. And asphalt, like many other petroleum products, is easily recycled, like composition shingles, plastics, tires, and on and on……..

donjo should start right now walking barefoot if they have a problem with oil! Why live with the any luxuries and keep complaining! 

For all you know, I already may walk barefoot.  No one is saying to stop producing oil; let’s just be wise and safe about getting the stuff out of the ground.  Digging miles under the ocean floor will NEVER be safe.  I’m sick of everyone assuming that oil is the answer to everything; I didn’t know so many NQ’ers were working for the oil industry.  There are alternatives to everything produced by fossil fuel and at some point in time, maybe not right now, but some time in the future, they will be necessary.  BTW, why doesn’t anyone mention fuel conservation?  It seems to be either/or here.  BTW, most of the crude from the GOM isn’t used here; our refineries can’t handle it.

And, frankly, I would gladly give up plastics, asphalt, etc.

I already walk barefoot and I would gladly give up plastics, and other so-called “luxuries” if it meant saving the planet for my grandkids and theirs.  At some point people have to make decisions; I’ve made mine.

Drilling for oil miles under the ocean floor will NEVER be safe, and to allow these hoodlum giant corps the freedom to plunder our resouces in order to fill their coffers of gold ain’t enough to justify it.

The oil industry will be around for a long, long time, but it needs to be kept under some sort of control.  Cripes, they’ve already ruined the marshes, etc. of Nigeria and Ecuador and it looks like the GOM is the biggie of their short-sighted selfish king of the mountain attitude.

If we can’t live without the “luxuries” provided by oil, then this planet is in serious deep doo doo.

The oil industry will be around for a long, long time, but it needs to be kept under some sort of control.
It’s easy to say if we can’t live without the “luxuries” provided by oil, however daily necessities also come from oil. You’re already barefoot what more are you happy to give up from your primitive life?

And if President LBJ hadn’t been in Congress; and wasn’t such a great politician; they never would have broken the filibuster to get it passed, either!  But most people don’t know that Republicans were for the bill!

And if President LBJ hadn’t been in Congress; and wasn’t such a great politician; they never would have broken the D filibuster to get it passed, either!

as someone on tv said  yesterday about barry(i forgot who)’if he cant do the job, he should get out of the way and let someone else take over”  that pretty much covers everything he does(or doesnt do).

Here is a link that is in the comments on PUMAPAC.  They say they’re burning oil and letting the turtles burn up in it, not letting people save them.  I can’t bear to investigate the link myself.

“I already walk barefoot”

Why am I not surprised? 

“..if it meant saving the planet for my grandkids and theirs.”

Well, hopefully the Darwinian principle of survival of the fittest will kick in, and the rest of us won’t have to worry about Donjo even having grandchildren.

“I would gladly give up plastics, and other so-called “luxuries”"

Please Donjo, I beg of you, start by giving up your use of the computer. 

He can be impeached after he resigns. If convicted in the Senate, he would not get any pension, or any other post-presidential perks such as SS protection, office staff funding, etc. He would not be able to hold any public office again, elected or appointed. In other words, he would be off the public tit forever. I am all for that, so let him resign to avoid impeachment and then let’s impeach him anyway. Think of the money it would save!!

Now your talking – Fiscal Responsibility accomplished by impeaching Ex-Presidents!  WoooooWooooo!

Well, I could do that and then we would be even, since it seems you have long ago given up use of your brain.

Hey donjo, you’re the one who was in here spouting what you wanted to give up. I see no personal attacks towards you, simply sensible dialogue. Stick the personal attacks where the sun don’t shine! Just shows how small you are really!

Educate yourself! You sprout off as though you’re the “enlightened” one.
So funny you want to portray yourself as “holier than thou” yet know so little!

Educate yourself! You spout off as though you’re the “enlightened” one.

Add:  T. Boone Pickens and his extensive WINDFARM, the windmills off Nantucket straight,  just waiting to be activated when the price is right. Probably waiting for CAP N TRADE to be passed. I wish we had a way of knowing the identities of all those major players/owners of these entities.

I call bullshit on walking barefoot. I just don’t believe you.

Thanks, Larry–good post and good comments!

I have nothing to add, but regrettably now I have to imagine poor RRRA living on top of a whoopie cushion.  It must be hard to keep her horses from spooking or her dogs from barking all the time.

Larry. you know far more than I.  But I found something.  I’ve been reading/gagging my way through The Shock Doctrine.  A must read.
We were never sure why it didn’t look like Democrats we felt we could recognize in financai terms?  I just read this and I found something…

http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=GeorgeShultz

“economic ideas reflect those of the so-called Chicago School, the extreme “free-market economics” ideas that lead to draconian looting of the working population, in favor of the financial oligarchy.”

I learned a new word the other day.  Synarchism.

At the rate my belief in my old party has dissolved?

My idealism?

I’m glad you are here, Larry.

Thanks Armymom for these articles!

“The reason BP and other oil companies are drilling 40+ miles off the shoreline and more than a mile deep is because of the stranglehold that environmentalists have held on politicians and their resulting energy policies for decades.”

This pretty well sums it up, doesn’t it?

When I was taking “Economic Geology” class back in 1980, a class that dealt with worldwide oil and mineral reserves, the practicalities of getting and using those reserves, and the multitude of necessities these resources are crucial in providing, we studied for some length oil reserves and potential new sources for oil. At that time, gas was around $1 per gallon. My professor explained that if the price were to rise to $2 per gallon, then our vast reserves of oil locked in our oil shale would become economically viable to recover. About that time, things were really heating up in Rifle Colorado where Chevron was researching and developing the techniques to extract oil from the shale. They eventually test fired their retort (a way of baking the oil out of the shale in underground chambers which uses up about 50% of the oil to drive the process. The operation, while being a success, still couldn’t compete with the current price of oil, but it wasn’t abandoned, it was put on ice until the time when it becomes economically feasible again. If this happens, then we’ll have 200 years worth of oil based upon current usage. So, when it could have been said after the very first barrel of oil was filled that “We’re gonna run out of this stuff someday”, when that someday is three or four hundred years in the future, it hardly seems to be something to panic about right now. WTH, the sun will burn out or nova 5 billion years from now, but I’m not losing sleep about it.

And don’t expect Donjo to consider or even read the articles we provide to her, it’s impossible to make a dent in something as dense as her skull.

At least most of the rest of us like your info, thanks. 

Yeah, right. Your brilliance is causing me to go prematurely blind; all you do is pick one sentence or phrase out of a post and then make shit of people, totally ignoring the crux of the message.  Anyone who disagrees with you and/or your “buddies,” or voices a different opinion or approach, is automatically stupid, dumb, clueless, ill-informed, shallow, uneducated, and probably has bad breath and dandruff.  You should feel real proud of yourself.

BTW, the latest trend in running is to toss the Nikes and to go barefoot.  (Although they do cheat and wear a thin rubber “shoe” for protection.”  

Kenoshamarge – you are right to a large extent that we aren’t supposed to say anything bad about Clyburn.  However, having been a liberal since junior high school due primarily to my rabid commitment to  civil rights  I feel it’s my inherent right to call AAs out when I feel there is strong evidence they are wrong. 

Many liberals would die first.  2008 changed me when it comes to calling a spade a spade regardless of whose toes are stepped on.  Couldn’t care less what they think.

donjo, you really are irritatingly self-righteous. I go barefoot too, except in stores and other places where shoes are expected to be worn. I live in FL where barefoot is more comfortable for me. I also use very little gasoline, being a person of old habits. I still do all that stuff that Jimmy Carter asked us to do, combine errands, etc. I only use 1 3/4 tanks of gas a month, and the 3/4 extra is due to my trips to the doctor for chemo and blood tests. Before those trips became necessary, I got through a month on one tank of gas. My car gets 36 mpg. I don’t leave lights on unless I am using them, I keep the AC set at 78, etc. I use canvas shopping bags which I take to the store with me, and ask for paper if I need another bag, or need something wrapped for insulation. With the heat index above 100 daily, ice cream and frozen foods need the extra insulation for the 30 mile trip home from the Winn Dixie. I do have feed and hay delivered, but only because the number of trips in my little car to pick them up would use more gas than the one delivery a month by the truck. But I don’t go around claiming to be saving the planet because of my conservation habits. I am simply doing my bit to save energy, and I have been doing that bit since Carter was president. Just out of curiosity, how long have you been barefoot and conserving?? More or less than 30 years?? Just askin’!!

Check out this article on the speech. Apparently, it was a 10th grade level speech, and it “went over the head of most of the audience.” Please…my collies understood it, and they are so dumb they are at this moment growling at my printer, which is off, because it’s not where it was yesterday. “Too professorial” is the phrase the language guru said. I guess no one told him that Obama was never a “Constitutional law professor”, he was a lecturer, and a lazy one, at that.

donjo – I applaud your rejection of shoes.

I would like to know what kind of computer you use and what it is made out of? Linen fibers? Wood?

Also, what power source do you use to run your computer?

I gather you don’t use electricity either – good for you! So I guess you can only type on your low-carbon fingerprint computer during daylight hours.

I’m serious – please tell me how you manage it.

Yes, I read that book too, I might even re-read it now that Obama has shown more of his colors.

I think she is correctly letting Obama sink and drown in his own oil spill…she is right to do this.
