Drill Baby Drill

Hello blog, once again there was another oil accident. This time not as catastrophic, no one was hurt, and it was done via platform instead of deepwater horizon.


why is this worth talking about? The coast guard reported a spill about one hundred feet wide about 200 miles west of BP's massive spill. And then what happened? Four hours later they say there was NO SPILL. How exactly do you say so accurately that there was one hundred feet wide then four hours later say “Ops, never mind”?

I'm not trying to be some conspiracy theorist, but oil companies and telling the truth to the media mix about as well as…well, oil and water. BP lied to the president themselves about the size of their spill. So I think it's fair to say there COULD be another spill.

Enough assumptions, though. I want to talk about the hypocrites who tell Obama to do something about these accidents. Yet, if he does something he will be called a socialist and supporter of big government because these corporations are NOT owned by the Government. They OWN the government!

Let’s resume. If Obama would have "done" something like he was "supposed to" wouldn't he then be called a socialist for being involved in corporation and regulating them? If he doesn't do anything and lets corporations lie out their teeth as it tries to get out of this mess anyway possible by doing as little as they can.

Which are you guys going to pick? You tie his hands down once again and no matter what he does he is bad or wrong. Don’t worry, though, we have new ways of hitting Obama now. I've heard that Obama himself is causing these explosions. Yes people are now saying that since 2 explosions have occurred within the last five months during Obama's presidency it is EVER SO clear that Obama has caused it.

Even though there was about two to three every year including in 2007 when there was four. So yeah...whatever? Instead of going after the real problem – the inspectors of these rigs who come from an industry that doesn’t care nor look until these kind of things happen – let’s just blame Obama.

Trying to enforce and get better inspectors and tighter regulations? I do not mean make MORE REGULATIONS. I mean being STRICTER about them. Making more regulations just oh, I don’t know, gives more rules for these companies not to follow.

Who am I kidding? Just blame Obama.

Fail Friday

Hello blog, it's Friday! So sit back and listen to my top 5 failures of the week.




#5, Bill O'Reilly once again was making stupid, but expected comments. This time he criticized Jennifer Aniston for being in a movie about a woman having a child without a man. He says it promotes families without Fathers when they are needed. He also demanded that she go on his show. Right, because she won’t be bullied by your antics and you'll continue to try to get her on the show and continue to dodge and run from Ventura

#4, This is trivia edition. What oil company in Texas City, Texas broke 217 safety violations and paid the biggest fine to Oceana in history? Five years ago, at the same oil finery, an explosion killed fourteen people. They are still breaking violations. Give up? It's BP!

#3 The Cincinnati Reds failed this week. ALL week!! First Brandon Phillips says he hates the Cardinals. The Reds go into their series with the Cardinals in first place and quickly get swept by the Cardinals and have one of the gayest man hug fights of all time. Losers.

#2 Sharon Angle failed once more this week. She started out great, though, coming out on top in the polls. But remember when she wasn't expected to win and showed her true colors? Like for example saying that we should rebel and "take out" Harry Reid and resort to the 2nd amendment.

Well now that she's ahead she refuses to comment on that. Bravo politics.

#1 Marg Baker failed this week big time! She said that we should do what they did in the 40's and 50's and take illegal immigrants and round them up in camps and ship them back to their home countries. Wrong Ma'am, that was done to LEGAL AMERICANS because we feared Japanese people after Pearl Harbor. Some people shouldn't talk.

Maybe instead of doing that to illegal’s you will say we should do it to Muslims. I've expected that to happen for years now from you nutjobs.



That's my failures of the week hope you enjoyed!

Oil above Justice

The Associated Press recently investigated and gave out statistics publicly about the oil spill and BP. I wish to share those with you right now before I give you my take. First up, did you know that the oil spill has cost BP nearly four billion dollars? Sounds like a lot right? Not to BP. Another fact, four billion dollars is ONLY a QUARTER of what BP profited in 2009.


In the 1970's, when another oil catastrophe took place, oil companies provided the Government ideas for companies investing into state of the art clean up techniques. To ensure that another spill wouldn't happen again.

You've seen what they’re doing to clean up the spill, real state of the art, huh?

Once again BP wants to sweeten up the Government by saying they will invest in state of the art clean up to prevent another spill from happening again. Even though they promised that in the 70's and it's happening again now. Another thing, the judge that will be deciding whether or not BP will be banned from offshore drilling for six months, has STOCK IN BP.

Fear not, oil hasn't touched Washington, right? In 2009 McCain/Palin ran with the idea of having an energy cap law. It has been dropped. I saved the best for last, though, the statistic that shocked me the most. As of day 100 we have only lost a quarter of what America uses as a whole in ONE DAY.

Ladies and gentlemen, oil is our drug. We are so dependent on oil it's ridiculous. We have given BP and other oil companies so much power and money, that BP will go absolutely unscathed. While we search for alternative energy, remember these same companies are dishing out millions of dollars to silence alternative energy. If we got competition in energy with oil we would be less dependent therefore they will have less power and profit. And as we watch history repeating itself with their promises of state of the art technology to the government in the 70's and to today I hope you realize that what they are doing is just a repeated attempt to save their companies and profits.

There’s another spill going on right now and it's going on all over our government with our representatives having stock in BP etc. BP ruined a major source of income and economy in the gulf. They have taken away what people base their lives on. And through all this BP can just lie to Washington and each and every one of us over and over again and they will receive NO JUSTICE just a small hole in their pockets out of LAST YEARS PROFITS.

I really hope that I am not the only person who says NO to what BP is saying.

Fail Friday

New concept I'm trying on this blog. I'm taking any story I find from the week and presenting them as the low points. In other words: Major Fails!




Fail #1 BP closes the oil spill...only to find another hole. I'm not surprised every day we hear more miscalculations and mishaps by this billion dollar company and here we are at Day 100.



Fail #2 Sharon Angle is scared to answer any questions given out by the Media. So much so that she avoided the media at her own press conference. Don’t worry she's got a solution. She will questions every day but only on the topic she wishes to speak about on her campaign. Oh please, Sharon, when did the Media have rules?



Fail #3 Massey Mine had an accident killing nearly twenty eight people only for Don Blankenship to say he doesn't feel guilty about it. And why should he? He only dealt losses to twenty-eight families. He saw the error in his ways and has fixed this all through lying about new safety regulations. Massey Mine has adopted the change? Absolutely not.



Fail #4 Glenn Beck today wanted to talk about his 9/12 project and how other people are getting involved with projects of their own. He says we must be reminded by how together we were as a nation on 9/12 by protesting and politically dividing us more. Makes sense…only not so much.



For Fail #5 We have a tie ladies and gentlemen for failure of the week over the same incident. We got Bill O'Reilly who took a tape twenty years ago, but didn't play the entire tape, only the part they wanted to hear. He tried to use it to say there’s reverse oppression in this country from Blacks being racist to Whites. Way to go Fox!



And then we got our big man in office. The most powerful position in the world getting brutalized by Fox for over a year now, and just now he finally realizing that Fox news it out to get him. Come on Obama, keep up! And way to go, blaming the entire media for this and not Fox news. Yeah just blame MSNBC too. How dare they defend you on a daily basis, Obama? Fight the battle, Obama, or just ignore them and don’t let a conservative network do YOUR decision making. You’re in politics, dude, we all knew full well that you had inexperience but, come on. My little brother could tell you Fox news is out to get you. They have for over a year now.



That's my top Fails of the week. You can decide on O'Reilly or Obama?

Oil Spiel: Leakage stopped (for now)

After months of irreversible spillage into the Gulf of Mexico a cap has finally stopped the leakage but, of course BP has finally told the truth for once and said, "Don’t hold your breath, it might not be over yet," perhaps the most honest statement in this whole ordeal. If this cap breaks and Oil returns to spilling into the gulf BP should dig there black oil slick sandy graves at beach side because they will officially be over.


No, not really.

Nothing else will happen to them if they close it people will forget and go on to the next big story probably the Ashton Kutcher violent outburst on the phone (that's my prediction, just imagine it...)

On topic; a lot of people lately have said "Don’t shop at the BP" which doesn't make any sense. The BP's where I live, and probably where you live, are run by a family business. What that dimwit that runs BP does is his decision. The family that runs the BP down the street to you have no say in his or his monkeys (I mean advisors) decisions. All you're doing is breaking another business in this economic downside that has claimed many, don’t add to the list. I say if you don’t shop at BP continue to not shop at BP; don’t line anymore pockets than you have too. But, if you shop at BP often, don’t re-route where your quick stop is.

Next will be a long clean up and trying to get boats back on those waters. But, judging by the fact hundreds of thousands of gallons spilled every day, it will be a very long time. Also, all through this ordeal, anyone notice how BP tried to downplay how much is spilling? When it first spilled and broke headlines it was only 100,000 gallons a day then they "re-researched it" bumped to 200,000 "re-researched it" again up to 500,000. They have done nothing but lie to the public these last couple of months and the Government really should do something about it.

But I can see the wrong approach already being taken

This clearly happened because BP and its workers failed to take the precautions necessary. And what do we do when they can’t take the precautions necessary? We add more precautions if you can’t eat 3 scoops of ice cream you don’t add 3 more scoops of ice cream. Adding more precautions is just more precautions that won’t be followed.

Once again Obama was being too soft. I don’t blame him that the spill happened I blame him for the fact he bended into what the conservatives campaigned for the entire time: "Drill baby drill!" He spoke against it (the conservatives supported it) and was debated on TV. He WON the election, got a Democratic majority in the senate and house, and what does he do? He signs an offshore drilling law? What the hell is that? Don’t democrats dominate everything? Once again Liberals are being pushed around. It could be one Republican and all the rest Dems and still be pushed around, put it together. If Obama signs more of these offshore drilling bills and companies like BP keep recklessly extracting oil these spills will be a hell of a lot more common, so please don’t.

Oh, and by the way, BP making a Youtube channel and advertising on every other vid I watch to befriend you? Really? Are you really more concerned about getting what little support you have now. You already are hated just for being an oil company. A cheap attempt is all it is. And the fact you can’t even comment on their page or videos?

Stupid.
