I was feeling pretty good today, the sun is out in my part of the valley and it was almost warm then this. Please be careful were you might move to. Thanks for the link and this just adds on to the post. I'm depressed now;)
No. Thank you because I've been thinking I should post about the dead Gulf Stream problem and our weather, but hadn't mustered myself for it. Now Washington's done it, I can skate till the next time it starts making my blood boil.
Well, they've been saying that all along, haven't they? Was this supposed to be some sort of certification, or did I miss something? A lot of people are starting to think it was done on purpose and so maybe that's why they're reiterating their failure thing?
Well, actually that article says it was the New York Times which did the quoted investigation, but I saw another yesterday announcing basically the same findings.
This all goes to making it more credible that they did it on purpose, you know. They've done this shit in Alaska and Niger and Azerbaijan and the GOM now. After a while, you just can't go with the criminal negligence theory anymore.
I'm beginning to feel as though we are a bunch of microbes under a cosmic scope and whoever's looking through it is freaking out.
Oh, man, this link snatched me back to 1989, doing online research for an oil refinery case, and stumbling across an EPA waiver for and "experimental" drilling muds disposal method. Drilling muds are far too toxic to store safely, so their brilliant solution was to release it into the Gulf in fits and blasts. I nearly stroked out on the spot. Maybe the government should just come out and say, "Relax, Gulf seafood has been lethal for DECADES, have a pickle."
And, have I ever mentioned how badly I miss having LEXIS/NEXIS at my fingertips? OMG I don't even know why people go so crazy for FOIA docs when they probably can get everything they want off that database. Everything, everything, everything is in there... or WAS, back in prehistoric times.
I'm sick of you guys doing drivebys while I'm out for the count! I'm sick of you sleeping while I want to talk. GOTTAMMIT! I think I need to cultivate more friendships in ENGLAND so there will be people up and at 'em when I am!
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

ReplyDeleteIt was an "Official" announcement at the conclusion of an investigation. Lends credence to what we have deduced all along.
ReplyDeleteWell, actually that article says it was the New York Times which did the quoted investigation, but I saw another yesterday announcing basically the same findings.

Perhaps they are ready to take the slide and dip it in a sterilizing solution...
ReplyDeleteLeave us hope.

ReplyDeleteBy the time I come out of my sleep stupor, they're just getting up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to cultivate more friendships in ENGLAND so there will be people up and at 'em when I am!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Listening to your crop circle thing now.
