So if you can post links from Mother Jones can del and the boys post links from breitbart?

i think the earth will start blowing around the universe like a balloon that you inflate and then let go....the end is nigh. this is obviously the beginning of armageddon. it's only fitting that we die from oil, our greed caused it all!!

My choice for President? I didn't know that I had endorsed anyone yet.

Making fun of Palin doesn't make Obama any less of a disaster

Only a reliable news source would have propaganda filled popups begging for money when you click on thier link

very true!

Please, they already do.

no need to fear, folks! a solution has been found...


'State senators in Louisiana have designated Sunday as a day of prayer aimed at seeking an end to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster.

On Wednesday, Louisiana state Sen. Robert Adley won unanimous approval of the resolution, which invites people of all faiths from within the state and around the U.S. to focus on divine intervention to find a solution to the crisis.

"Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail," CNN reported Adley saying in a statement released last week. "It is clearly time for a miracle for us."'


that's why we elect them, so they can find definitive, foolproof responses to our pressing issues.

lol

they should have waited for august so they could claim success.

At least they're headed in the right direction!:eek:

oh please. this is a move in no direction.

now, should the hand of god descend from the clouds, and reach down and plug the hole with a pinky finger, i'll be the first in line at church next sunday....but i have a feeling i'll be home, drinking a cup of coffee and deciding between inside and outside chores.

Don't get yer dander up.....difference of opinion! "Doubting Thomas's" abound.;)

i haven't got any doubts at all.

well...that's not true. lol i doubt this day of prayer solves a thing regarding the leak!

They need to build a giant styrofoam Jesus in the middle of the gulf, then maybe it will get struck by lightning and plug the hole.

So you support what Obama said in his oval office speech? Hey, pretty generous of you :)

What if the finger plugging the hole belonged to .... Allah? What would the right do! :rolleyes:

Brilliant!

:tro::tro::tro:

i would enjoy it most if it were zeus....after 2k years of calling it mythology, the truth would come out!!! :D

I like it :tro: But Zeus has gotten fed up with man for far less than this, already!

New low again today. All those bottom catchers last week getting their ass handed to them. By the way the spill looks worse since last night. Casing giving way.

That was the possibility this guy was discussing, plus that BP has known the casing threatened all along (why they stopped top kill, etc) :eek: :(

fed judge just stopped the stupid moratorium on off shore drilling..obama is a lame duck...just step down..

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge struck down the Obama administration's six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, saying the government rashly concluded that because one rig failed, the others are in immediate danger, too.

The White House promised an immediate appeal. The Interior Department had halted approval of any new permits for deepwater drilling and suspended drilling of 33 exploratory wells in the Gulf.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama believes that until investigations can determine why the spill happened, continued deepwater drilling could expose workers and the environment to "a danger that the president does not believe we can afford."

Several companies that ferry people and supplies and provide other services to offshore drilling rigs asked U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans to overturn the moratorium.

They argued it was arbitrarily imposed after the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that killed 11 workers and blew out the well 5,000 feet underwater. It has spewed anywhere from 67 million to 127 million gallons of oil into the Gulf.

Feldman sided with the companies.

"What seems clear is that the federal government has been pressed by what happened on the Deepwater Horizon into an otherwise sweeping confirmation that all Gulf deepwater drilling activities put us all in a universal threat of irreparable harm," he wrote.

Feldman's financial disclosure report for 2008, the most recent available, shows holdings in at least eight petroleum companies or companies that invest in them, including Transocean Ltd., which owned the Deepwater Horizon. The report shows that most of his holdings were valued at less than $15,000, though it did not provide specific amounts.

It's not clear whether Feldman still has all of the energy industry stock listed in the report. Recent court filings indicate he may no longer have Transocean shares. He did not own any shares in big companies such as BP PLC, which was leasing the rig that exploded, or ExxonMobil.

a judge struck down the drilling ban....now it turns out, said judge has extensive oil holdings.

The EPA is going to immediately re-issue the moratorium including the details the judge said it lacked (reason for striking it down)

BP Well accident, cap removed

BP Relied on Faulty U.S. Data

By NEIL KING JR. And KEITH JOHNSON
BP PLC and other big oil companies based their plans for responding to a big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on U.S. government projections that gave very low odds of oil hitting shore, even in the case of a spill much larger than the current one.

The government models, which have not been updated since 2004, assumed that most of the oil would rapidly evaporate or get broken up by waves or weather. In the weeks since the Deepwater Horizon caught fire and sank, real life has proven these models wrong.



The government's optimistic forecasts reinforced the oil industry's confidence in its spill-prevention technology, leading to decisions that left both oil companies and the government ill-prepared for the disaster that has unfolded in the Gulf since April 20.

BP also relied on nothing. Remember last week's hearings? The oil companies just photocopied each others' "disaster plans" for the gulf. You know, what to do to save the sea otters and walrus, and call the guy who has been dead for a few years.

Considering what we are finding out, why not a 6 month moratorium on drilling? I know it's painful job wise, but work out a deal where they get compensation while everyone makes sure this sh*t is safe. This shouldn't be political and there will be jobs for sure in the near future.

Sigh.

Very sad. All of it.
