Oil from the Exxon Valdez is still on the beaches.

I'm not sure it will affect prices (though I'm sure they will go up because of greed and it will be blamed on the spill) as the well was already in the process of being shut down when the accident happened...in the end the States affected will probably bear the brunt of the costs of clean up (rather unfair, eh?) and that can in no way affect the prices of gasoline more like it will directly impact the tax rate in those states to pay for it all...

wow....it would appear that just today the news agencies are starting to run the story that BP knew about problems before the event happened....uh huh...I heard about these problems the day after it all happened from my son in law...a person he knew from childhood and went to school with was one of the people that died in the explosion and had told him of these problems...he was scheduled to get off the platform 12 hours after the tragedy happened..

BP has yet again been caught in covering up the facts...I hope they get run out of this country and all of their assets confiscated for the CRIMES they have committed...they have repeatedly taken the cheapest route as opposed to doing all that was possible and necessary to mitigate the events which are occurring...and Obama should be edited because of inappropriate comments for his LACK of actions...hey, he's not even an American citizen, so what does he care?

A Birther, ey?

This is the BP that Bush gave us via de-regulation. Now we have more unregulated oil than we ever wanted. If Dubya hadn't decided to spend a trillion dollars on overseas police actions (even his father had more sense than that) we could afford the cost of cleaning up after BP. We haven't even received any of the oil revenues that were assured us before going into Iraq ("The war will pay for itself"). When you give blood for oil, you should get the oil.

If Obama had earlier involved himself in the BP issue we would have heard Faux News warning us about Obama destroying the oil industry or trying to take it over. Glen Beck would diagram the similarity to Hitler, Stalin, and/or Mao.


A bit off topic, but too interesting to withhold. I heard from an ex-GI that Saddam H was not found in a hole, as reported. GI says Saddam was defended, in one of his palaces, by some of his troops for three days after he was located by US military. On the third day he surrendered. GI could be nutz, but he did get me to thinking that Saddam had quite a few look-alikes; never heard what happened to them.

Default Casualties of War

Blackhorse 70V

You know, this first casualty of war is the truth so how can we believe anything we were told during, after or even now about what went on or what is still going on concerning the Iraq war.

We all know that we were lied to about the reasons for going to war, the cost of the war (in terms of resources and lives) and what we would get out of the war.

And you know what's worse, Dub Ya and UK poodle Blair claim to be christians.

to say I'm a birther is probably wrong, but I do find it an interesting concept with the potential for being totally true and have no problems throwing it at Obama as an insult...

as far as the root of the problem being Bush's administration, quite possibly in some ways, but the fact remains that Obama is President and this happened on his watch and it was/is his responsibility to protect American soil from damage...do you think BP, a company based in the UK, gives any real flip about damage to foreign soil?...its not their land, and I doubt they would really give a flip about damage to any ecosystem except for it digging into their profit margin...
