Has The BP Oil Spill Broken Through…

I hear ya, susiepuma – I’ll give him a chance and see if he has really started to come out from under the influence of the Kool Aide or if this is just a blip…

Ohmygosh – no, I hadn’t heard that abt the BP CEO.  I think you are right on target, susiepuma – I think Obama referred to the Gulf SHore folks as “the little people.”  Wowie zowie…

huh???

currently watching shep smith on fox – don’t really like him cuz he’s a kool aid drinker but he’s being snarky about the ‘little people’ – thinks he’s a little pissed about it

obot juan williams is on show now ……………………….

So, RRRA, does that mean you don’t mind that Stewart called your state the nation’s whoopie cushion?  As I commented in Larry J’s post below, I will now be imagining your poor horses being spooked all the time as they walk around on that whoopie cushion and your dogs barking all the time at the sound. 

Even Eugene Robinson at Wapo swore off the KoolAid for a day.

“The issue isn’t what Obama is feeling, it’s what he’s doing. Why haven’t skimmers been brought in from around the world to scoop up more of the oil? Why isn’t the defense of the coastline being run like a military campaign, with failure not an option?”

“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.”

I JUST responded to that comment, Diana L.C.!  That was so funny of you – completely cracked me up!    Teehee!

Maybe that’s why my mom’s dog, Dorothy, barks unexpectedly from time to time (our dog, Sasha, is pretty deaf now…).  LOL.  And our horse is stabled 20 minutes away, but that might explain why they just get goofy sometimes!

Well, FWIW, at least I’m FROM the Tar Heel state – you know, where Rep. Etheridge is.  Ahem.

I won’t watch Jon Stewart or the Three Stooges on MSNBC anymore unless Larry or someone else has screened it here first. And even then I’ll take a pass on MSNBC and take NQ’s word for it.

I wonder if Comcast is giving direction to MSNBC that GE would not. Comcast has higher expectations for MSNBC to make money than GE did.

Little people–small people–short people–Stewart mentioning Thee One morphing into the guy with the cat who orders people to be killed–it all starts to blend together into a dream sequence:

And yet Obama managed to spend more money than Bush/Cheney combined. The unemployment rate is higher. This adminstration is looking for ways to cut Veteran and Social Security benefits just like Bush/Cheney.

This adminstration has continued the policies of Bush/Cheney with regard to rendition, secret arrests,  etc.

So much for “Change”.

You know when I took over a job from someone else in the military I didn’t spend my time blaming my predecessor.  I worked to fix the problems. That’s called “leadership”.  Look it up surfered.

stewart again proves he’s an idiot

Rev Amy

Another great post!  Sad to say, the fraud journalists and historians are still at it.  Watching Charlie Rose last night with Mark Halperin and Doris Kearns Goodwin made me sick.  They are still making excuses for the Incompetent in Chief.

Obama has to “act” sympathetic to get his message across.  It’s all about the message.  I want to scream.

Good grief, wild life, families, businessess, the entire coastlines are being destroyed because Obama is a fraud and an idiot. 

DUTCH AND BELGIAN COMPANIES COULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED WITHIN WEEKS OF THE DISASTER TO CLEAN UP THE OIL AND IT WAS VETOED BECAUSE OF THE JONES ACT!  Waivers could have been granted due to the magnitude of the disaster.

There has to be a special place in hell for these scumbag journalists, historians, and surfered for supporting the Fraud in Chief.  Shame on all of you………………

Yes surfered, Bush/Cheney are soooooo germane to this thread, how inspired you are to bring them up…………..again.

Surfered, if you’ve had your head up your ass for the last two years, I can understand why you might still believe that Bush is the president, but since it seems more likely you’ve had your head up your vent for much longer than that, so I’d like to be the first to tell you that CLINTON is no longer the President. 

WOW surfered and “O” has really taken us into the black right? The bailout, healthcare, jobs, oil disaster. As someone commented on the other thread there was less than 6% unemployment under Bush give it a rest, this is on “O”s watch I hope he starts to pull his finger out quickly before the whole country is on its knees!

Wikipedia article on Comcast:

On November 1, 2009, The New York Times reported Comcast had moved closer to a deal to purchase NBC Universal and that a formal announcement could be made sometime the following week.[55] On December 3, 2009, the parties announced that Comcast will take a controlling 51% stake in NBC Universal.[56]

Amen. I’ve never blamed the previous person that I relieved at a job. Obama is a whiny ass baby along with his supporters.

I am pissed.  BP cancels my dividend at behest of 0bama et thugs.  BP will pay no dividends this year.  So BP funds this slush fund (Escrow Fund) with my dividends.  Then they get how much in insurance money? I don’t even get a tax deduction for the amount they took from me.  They just cancelled my dividend.  Of course Tony Heyward and Goldman Sachs had enuf (insider info) luck to dump their shares.  Funny how 0bama could get his hands on my puny dividend but all those obscene bonuses to the crooks of the century from those Banks and investment thieves went unchallenged.

At flopping aces site – they have actual charts from the MMS that show the oil, natural gas, oil shale, etc. available in the United States – the Dems have been lying about this for so long that no one even calls them on it anymore – I think it’s time…………………………

http://www.floppingaces.net/2010/06/16/obama-says-we-are-running-out-of-places-to-drill/#more-39419

Another big lie to add to the rest – I used to be a Democrat and I am beginning to loathe them too – the progressives took what was a pretty good party and just turned into shit……………….. hope the party dies a quick death – it’s toxic

Are there any geo-physicists here? I’m wondering what the ramifications of punching a hole in the earth’s crust and sucking out an ocean of black crude when there’s 5000 feet of water pressure on the top side of that crust. I’m admittedly no scientist and I know it’ll be a long time before the ocean of crude is dry…still I can’t imagine that the redistribution of pressure wouldn’t lead to a shifting in tectonic plates.

I”m starting to believe she has much more influence from where she is now because her POWER comes from her fans.  Equal power. It makes it personal. She’s tapped into the “heart” of it and the fact she HAS one makes it all the more undeniable.  To those of us who recognize the difference.  Thank good ness there are still a LOT of those of us who can SEE the diff.  right?   sigh.

“Are there any geo-physicists here? I’m wondering what the ramifications of punching a hole in the earth’s crust and sucking out an ocean of black crude when there’s 5000 feet of water pressure on the top side of that crust.”

It will have about as much effect on the Earth’s crust as the effects a single mosquito would have on reducing the blood supply of an elephant.

holy chit from one little hole?  LOL  maybe we’ll go buzzing off through the galaxy like an earthly balloon with a hole popped in it? PFffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft~~~~~~~~~~~~~across the galaxy!  hehee!

Jon Stewart has been ridiculing Obama since day one.  He’s a comedian.  Why he drank the Kool-aid during the elections I don’t know, but he seemed to get over it immediatelyl.

I think the comment is just a matter of translation.  British English is not American English.  And in Britain they’ve never had the same notion of the common people that we have in the U. S.  In England, Commoners are second sons.  They also have a tradition of noblesse oblige that never caught on in North America.

Beantown:  It’s unconscionable that he hasn’t let these other countries help.  They probably know more about it than BP and Obama.

In fairness, the entire 8 years Bush was in office, every single problem was Bill Clinton’s fault.  People need to get past the partisan stuff and see that both Bush and Obama are demogogues and that’s why the country is in a mess.  If Americans don’t start recognizing this stuff regardless of party, we are doomed to repeat it.

We’ve got Schumer and too many more to mention. 
The good thing is I think most of them know that over-population will not tip Manhatten over.
–

Obama may be dazed and confused, but Rahm Emmanuel and crew are not. They are dangerous people. They see their grip on power slipping away. Who knows what they may attempt. What they need now is a catastrophe that they can appear to fix.

Those who help in collecting the oil on the water probably get to keep it and sell it to cover their cost and profit.  BP, with the consent of the Whitehouse intends to reclaim the oil and sell it themselves.  The proceeds of the recovery is probably what they will place in escrow for future damage claims against the company.  This would explain why Obama hasn’t waived the Jones Act, or that help is not being accepted from the other countries with know how.

I get that normal drills are like mosquito bites…Im wondering what happens when that elephant has been compressed down to the size of a loaf of bread and then it’s bit by a mosquito.

Man what channel do you watch? I’ve not seen Jon rip into Obama from day one. Do you get a different Jon Stewart that the rest of us don’t see? lol

You don’t have to be brilliant when your subject is a man who just keeps reinforcing the reality that he is a total joke. An occupant who is a small statured unhealthy looking person dressed in a suit that is wearing him whose feet don’t even touch the ground giving a speech behind an empty desk because if there was anything on it, it would have been a distraction to the viewer.  It doesn’t matter if it appears that he’s working or not, all eyes must focus on him. Tipping point indeed.

How anyone could have not gotten vibes for this weirdness during the campaign is beyond me.

susie

Thanks for sharing the link.  Does anyone else notice how silent Hollywood is about the Gulf spill?  Except for Kevin Costner, they are in cahoots in supporting this fraud. 

WHAT IS THE TIPPING POINT BEFORE OBAMA MOVES HEAVEN AND EARTH TO CLEAN UP THE OIL?

Rev. Amy, thanks for the great post.  Like others, I will continue to watch “filtered” Daily Show clips until I am convinced that he is back to satire and not sucking up.

I think it was Hank Hill who said, “what kind of a country is it that the only people you can hate are white men” (or something like that).  Along those lines, I think Obama may end up making one major contribution to the social maturity of this country.  If he keeps screwing up, he may get white liberals past their paralyzing fear of criticizing a black person.  I think much of what we’ve seen among the “progressive” Obots, especially in the media, arises from an immature fear that in being critical of a black person they may be thought of as racists themselves.  A good friend of mine falls into this category.  The Obama campaign and the early months of his presidency capitalized on this white liberal fear by calling every negative comment racist.  As time passes and the poor performance continues, I think more and more white liberals will allow themselves to accept that making excuses for Obama just because of the color of his skin is just as insidious as any other kind of racism.   My idea of a grown up society was shown to me during our first trip to New York.  Two women were yelling at each other– and I mean yelling– over a parking spot.  One was black, the other was white.  There was nothing racist in the yelling– at that moment they just could not stand each other.  Obama has been such a screwup, maybe it will free white liberals to look at him, for once, as a man, and not as a black man, and judge him accordingly.

should have read this first

Yes, their God (O) isn’t so perfect and they all want to
be invited to all those White House parties.
FOOLS ALL OF THEM.

Too bad Reagan killed off Carter’s oil shale R&D initiative in 1985, isn’t it.

See:  http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1200/is_v129/ai_4094824/

I am watching the talking heads on Fox and none of them understand the Federal Laws regarding oil spills. I don’t think I’ve seen any talking head that has read and understands the 1990 Oil Pollution Act and the National Contingency Plan for Oil Spills.

They are all talking about a cap on liability of $75 million, and wow what a sweetheart deal Exxon made for the oil industry.

1990 Oil Pollution Act
SEC. 1004. LIMITS ON LIABILITY.
(a) GENERAL RULE.—Except as otherwise provided in this section,
the total of the liability of a responsible party under section
1002 and any removal costs incurred by, or on behalf of, the responsible
party, with respect to each incident shall not exceed—
(3) for an offshore facility except a deepwater port, the total
of all removal costs plus $75,000,000

That means BP and anyone else that spills oil at a drilling site is on the hook for the entire clean up cost.

The $75 million cap is only for additional economic costs, but even that cap does not apply to incidents that were caused by Gross Negligence, Willful Misconduct, violation of Federal Regulations, or violation of an Operating Regulation.
(SEC. 1004. C)

The only incident where the industry might be safe from liability is from an act of God, like a Hurricane. But even then if the company did not follow procedures and regulations to secure the site for a hurricane they would still be on the hook for the entire remediation and economic cost.

The 1990 OPA, and 40 CFR are a good laws, a fair laws, and have teeth, if only the current President and administration knew how to apply them.

I wish these networks and POTUS would get someone that has a clue.

I thought the same thing, my other site.  Poor choice of words.  He came off sounding very condescending and frankly there’s not much BP can say right now because people of furious. 

One positive thing I read is that the man who administered and oversaw the relief funds after 9/11 will be put in charge of the claims and distribution of this 20 billion BP fund.  Certainly 9/11 was an emotionally-charged situation but Kenneth Feinberg got pretty good grades in overseeing.  I hope so.  The people of the Gulf need a break already.

In addition, BP acquiesed to another $100 million to compensate rig workers layed off due to the moratorium and is negotiating on how the government goes back if the initial funds are insufficient.  They’ve also pulled back on dividend distribution.

So, now it’s a matter of putting the foot to the pedal and actually doing something to get a handle on this monster.

Plus was anyone surprised with Obama’s announcement last night that “within weeks” containment would be up to 90%?  Where did that number come from?  Or is this pulling numbers and percentages out of the air.  Like how many barrels are actually spewing: from 1000 to the reconfigured estimate of 60,000.

Needless to say, BP has a lot of ground to make up before anyone will take their word for much of anything.  

Goldman Sachs has estimated thet the entire response and clean up cost could top $180 Billion with a B.

The $20 Billion is just a down payment. BP will be in business solely to pay for the cost of environmental and economic damage.

Do’t expect BP to show a profit much less pay a dividend for the next 20 years.

Don’t blame POTUS for that, blame BP. The entire Oil Industry is pissed at BP because moratoriums and new regulations are going to cost all of them.

Let’s put it this way Ann. From a human perspective the events in the Gulf seem very large. From a geologic perspective, it’s an insignificant event. It will not trigger earthquakes, volcanoes, or cause the ocean floor to collapse into the void that the loss of oil will create. Oil reservoirs are not big pools of oil in underground caverns, they are permeable formations that are able to hold the oil somewhat like a sponge. They’re just like water aquifers in that the bulk of the volume of the aquifer is porous rock, with water filling in the interstitial spaces. Oil formations are usually permeable sandstone, and again, the vastly greater volume of the formation is rock and minerals, with the petroleum representing only a small potion of the volume. There will be subsidence equal to the amount of oil extracted from the formation, but when that volume is spread out over many square miles, and we can measure it, it is again geologically insignificant. In a 10 mile by ten mile “pool”, 10,000,000 barrels of oil would fill it less than 1/4 of an inch, or fill a 1.419 mile by 1.419 mile pool 1 foot deep.

Candymarl, I wanted to give you a salute, but they don’t have one in these emoticons!  But the sentiment is there, I respect that you were an effective leader.  I guess it might be even more frustrating for you to witness this guy, since you are more familiar with the traits of good leadership….

“…makes me wonder how or what we are causing a bad reaction of the stability of the earth so deep and removing  things that have been in place forever!”

I give up! 

When you find out Armymom, I would be interested in that as well.
I expect we will have a long wait however!

The chairman of BP is Swedish. English is not his first language, although like most Swedes his English is fluent.

So is BP going to sue Halliburton and the othe companies involved in this? Why aren’t we hearing about the other companies and as important, is congress going to investigate That One, MMS (Interior), FEMA(Homeland Security)?

 I remember seeing a clip of That One, when he was running for US senate. He was asked if the citizens of Ill. could count on him to concentrate on the business of Ill. and not start running for POTUS. He promised (hah) that he wouldn’t run for POTUS in his first term because he “obviously” wouldn’t be qualified to run for POTUS having so little fed government experience. He joked that he’d still be learning where everybody sat and where the restrooms were.

Another lie. >:o

And where are the organizations like Code Pink re: wars (that aren’t going particulary well it seems)?

It’s just a “media diversion”.  If they spend the night talking about “small people”, they stop talking about the “mental midget”.

>:o

I don’t remember that happening, either.  But, Clinton left him a surplus economically, and I don’t remember anything tough happening until 9/11.  Any really he couldn’t blame him for that, because the last thing that Clinton communicated to him was to beware of Osama bin Laden (which wasn’t heeded).  So I don’t think there would have been much material for Bush to work with in terms of blame, plus he wasn’t this Mr. Whiney Blame as the current occupant is.

Scroll down to second post “Prince Hamlet in the Oval”. It’s one of the real “little people”– shrinking before our very eyes

But everyone has to report their earnings to the IRS and pay taxes on them.  I wonder if the IRS will swoop in and take some of their BP issued funds for taxes never paid. 

They won’t be able to get state disability or social security later in life if they haven’t established a work record (by way of reporting their earnings to the IRS)…..  and if they get hurt on the job, they won’t be able to get workers comp, because you have to be at a job which gives you a check and deducts money each time for the workers comp fund….

I guess they like living on the edge like that.  It would be scary for me, not being eligible for things I could have paid into if I have an emergency and need them…

Lost in the 60′s again . . .

 Lorac, I appreciate that and many thanks. Hey, we’re all in the same boat. We are Americans. That means something to me and to the other Americans on this site as well. I salute you all.

Yes, I understand that there were hospitals, charities, and pensioners using those dividends to fund their work (or pay bills, in the case of pensioners).

“I’ve ridiculed enough Republicans to last me a lifetime.”

LOL Armymom, same here.  In fact, I thought I was all ridiculed out.  And then, as if from out of nowhere, Thee One appeared, and suddenly the sarcasm in my spirit was reborn.  Hallelujah!

We will have to see if Brown has any moral compass or sell his soul to “O”. Time will tell, looks like people in MA need to remind him why they put him in office.

Facts are facts!

Technically, that surplus was only projected, not cash in hand.
The attack on 9/11 threw the entire budget into negative territory quickly.
Thus the military did not have everything needed for the response.
I would feel more confident and secure with President and Mrs. Bush back in the White House right now. Nobody is perfect, but BO is definitely defective!

They are not now just sending help. Seems they have been fighting our EPA. Our big government can’t get the hell out of the way. They have JUST NOW gotten a “waiver” to use their skimmers.50 + days to get a freaking waiver from our EPA because they “might” put some of the oil they’re skimming back into the ocean, miniscule compared to what they’re sucking up. So the EPA decides that it’s better to have ALL the oil in the ocean instead of getting rid of most of it.  Pathetic.

Unlike others, I’m fighting for the little folks

My sane half is glued to the left side of the dial, and while it makes it very difficult to converse over the last year, an odd thing started to happen in the last few weeks. 
 
The 960 (SF) jockeys are all “disturbed” by the lack of leadership coming from Obama. Mind you, that they want a more direct action by the B O I L . The irony in that is, what they are asking for is the same crap Bush did, yet if the BOil-bots don’t get the weekly dose of  grease lightening, they regress to the angry infected puss of the BOil.  
 
 A 960 radio head named Corell(sp?) was not by any means impressed with BO’s address from the Oval and was railing against the fact that if one criticizes  
 Slowbama, they are accused by the others in progressive community of “leading to BO’s downfall”.  
 
His question was, “should progressive bite their toungue and not be critical of BO?” 
 
I concluded that the physics of being thrown under the bus are those of a finite universe. There are only so many times BO can expose himself to be a political pediphile….exposing his naked incompetence at every turn.  
(and no I’m not accusing BO of being actual pediphile, although there is a high propability that he was molested as a child by one of his crazy uncles)  
 
The lies he told to get elected are being contrasted with the lies he is telling now and he is one visual short of a X-file episode.  
 
Rev. Amy there is a shift in the winds of “change” alright. When the right side of dial asks a question….”what promises big or small has BO kept?” one would expect it.
The very next day I hear the same question on the left side of radio dial…I am left wondering if it is a dem’s version of being in an airport bathroom stall.

me too must have been drunk

Wasn’t he simply elected to finish Kennedy’s term?  When does it come up again? 2012?  If he sells out, he’ll be dumped.  The voters are in no mood to be toyed with.

“Corell”

Could this be “Karel,” who achieved some notoriety with an open-mike remark about Joe the Plumber?

instead of Na na na hey jude ,  we’ll be signing na na na hey hey hey good bye

I INTEND TO.  I’LL CALL HIS OFFICE TOMORROW

his naked incompetence

And someone last night had a good line about his associates:
Trickle Down Incompetence (forget who, stand up and take a bow)

So the left is finally getting it; Obama trashed his own party so he could keep all the unconstitutional power Bush left on the table.  Gotta love that pic of Obama has Kim Jong Il (or however you spell it).  I disagree that Obama is a good person.

Like my avatar does?……

You go candymarl…

“No man is an island”….. unless they sleep on a water bed…
still in the 60′s oowawa? LOL

sowsear…how do you make him dance like that?

Nice collage sowsear

Yep–I do sleep on a water bed.  Still in the 60′s, and I ain’t coming out until the Age of Aquarius finally dawns . . .

He came that way. I just copied him into my pictures and he kept on doing “the locomotion”

Was it you Oowawa?

did he play fuckin’ golf again today?\????????????????????

Nah = he swings the other way – he’s wondering where he can buy a thong like thatt………………………………

There was some talk about BC’s not taking care of business when the WTC was bombed. the 1st time..maybe other rumblings

This Messiah is a mess…

Those are very selective videos, My other site.  As someone who watched Stewart religioously until he drank the Kool Aide, I can guarantee you he did.  He is now snapping out of it.  While he may have poked a little fun here and there, it was absolutely NOTHING like the ridicule he heaped on Bush (which, as a lifelong Dem at the time, I enjoyed).  So, yeah – you see the few videos of LATE where Stewart is coming to his senses, but starting back in 2008, he lost them over Obama.

and, put this down in the book of coincidences… Goldman Sachs and BP’s Hayward sold “just in time” to make a tidy profit. Will someone in Washington or in the msm ask them how they were so lucky?

Are you sure…how about that hole in Guatemala?

I’m wondering how I can get my hand on (or under) THAT thong.

What a flashy little “sTAR Baby”.

re-RRR
True, I’m just a little bitter, you  can’t blame me. Its hard 
to see the truth and then have everyone tell you, your wrong. 
Obama’s mistake is that he thought his con would last 4 years. 
I believe young people will truly wake up when there futures 
are threaten by Obama’s policies.

Yes, and I saw at Drudge that he’s changing his stance on Cuba…

Didn’t he make some vulgar comments about Sarah as well?  He was fired from KGO in SF…the last I listened to what used to be one of my favorite stations.  I called in and complained about him when he was going ballistic.

exactly

Yes, if he delegates, he won’t have to work night and day to solve this problem…

If we ever get rid of BO, get proof he was never eligible to be president, and that he got where he did fraudulently, do you think we can rescind his presidential pension and other perks? I hate to think that his corrupt self will live well at our expense.

The Dot Com bubble was Clintons fault
The tanking economy and record deficits under Bush were Clinton’s fault
and 9/11 was Clintons fault for using cruise missles on terrorists like a flyswatter instead of a he man sledgehammer army

All according to the Bush Admin and Repubs

and don’t forget his other favorite….I “inherited” such and such…

Hey, you gotta start looking somewhere…

he is one visual short of a X-file episode.  

Love it!  
   

I think the outrage over the BP executives saying “small people” is silly. He’s a Swede for heaven’s sake and english is his second language. How would any of us fare in his language?

I have much bigger and worse things to get angry about than wasting some outrage on something this petty.

At one time I would have proudly proclaimed that I have Russ Feingold. Now, not so much. And he will never get my vote again for his vote for and support for the Health Care atrocity. He also responded condescendingly to a citizen who asked him a question that he was in a “Republican” district. As if he didn’t need to respond to or represent Republicans. He lost me forever with that remark.

no honor among thieves. 

Maybe I’m just dim but don’t all the obligatory slaps at Sarah Palin, especially in a “bit” about Oblahblah give her exactly the kind of importance that the left claims she doesn’t have? If she’s so nothing, why all the fuss?

Exactly Sassy, we want the same kind of “competent and honest” folks doling out $20,000,000,000 as did the dolling after Katrina.

Which must mean that every one has been compensated and every thing is just peachy in Louisiana, New Orleans and the rest of those devastated by Katrina. New Orleans is all rebuilt by now. Isn’t it? After all the government was in charge not those nasty corporate crooks.

Now that the Dems have their hands on an extra $20 billion that they can doll out to their supporters I expect things will be looking up for them.

Love, love, love the one with him in bed with the media. Filed it under “Funny but true”.

So, Sowsear, if ever Obummer is proved to have been ineligible to be POTUS, can the taxpayers also sue to get back all the money spent on his and his family’s vacations, trips in AF1, golf games, concerts, etc., etc., etc.?  It would only be right!

I used to live in WV. I had my own gas well there. And I was able to use the gas as it came out of the ground, all that was needed to burn it was a change of valve to one that handled the impurities as well as the gas. There was a tank of stinky stuff that was added to the gas as it came into the house so I could tell if there was a leak. I used the gas to heat and AC the house, to cook and heat the hot water. WV has enough natural gas under it to power the country for a couple of centuries. And it burns a lot cleaner than coal. Thousands of West Virginians have gas wells, mostly capped, on their property. And for those of you in the NE, the Schwann’s frozen food trucks that you see around run on LP gas, engines and all. So the technology is out there to convert vehicles from gasoline to natural gas. We just aren’t using it. And cars and trucks can run on hydrogen too..very efficient and clean. The big car companies make a practice of buying up the patents and plans on hydrogen engines so they can’t be built by someone else and undercut the gas engines produced by the big car companies. There are available solutions, but no one is implementing them.

The hole in Guatamala is there for the same reason that I have a sink hole in my pasture. The water running under the ground ate out a big space that no longer supported the weight of the ground above it. The top layer then sank into the hole. I filled mine up with a dump truck full of sand, problem solved for now. The hole in Guatamala is too big to fill with dump trucks full of anything, but other than that, it’s just like mine, cause and all.

If they can keep our focus on something this insignificant perhaps we won’t notice more significant things. Things that can’t be blamed on the newest and biggest and baddest monster we are hating. The hideous BP Monster.

I wonder just how long it will take before BP decides it’s had enough of being the media/politicians whipping boy. After today and the chance for all the pols to show how tough they are by grilling a BP Executive who will simply have to sit and take it I wonder how much more they will tolerate.

I have no sympathy for BP but there comes a time when all the bashing is so over the top that it becomes just background noise and more of the same old blah/blah/blah.

Many of us will be watching to see if Stewart stays on the straight and narrow.  I have given up hope for Bill Maher who I used to enjoy also.
Both of them are better than that.
