Barak,
I have kids, so I guess I need to still keep living.  But, for what?  We let BP & Multi-Nationals make all decisions.  You cower at their bluster.

This is the right-wings self-prophesied RAPTURE.

I sleep as much as possible.  I really can't stand it.

POWER has TRUMPED LOGIC & TRUTH

We have LOST.

You gave us false hope.  I wish you had given us no hope.  
You say you will listen to the "troops on the ground".  Fuck the "troops on the ground".  Leave the God Damn phony fake wars.  NOW!  Protect our Nuclear Plants.  Protect our Ports.  Protect our Airports (NOT BY TAKING AWAY SHAMPOO BOTTLES FROM GRANDMOTHERS.

Rebuild the God Damn Country.  Filibusters are not in the Constitution.  Harry Reid can "write the rules" with each new Congress.  Have him CHANGE the God Damn Filibuster Rules.

As FDR said, DO FUCKING SOMETHING.

When do YOU want me to commit suicide.

P.S. No more God Damn pithy God Damn remarks.  DO THINGS.  PUT BP assholes in JAIL.  Get other "experts".  Hell, get ACTUAL scientists.  They can't do worse.  Decorum should be DISPENSED with.  Take an oil-soaked dead Pelican to each and every Republican & Blue-Dog member of Congress and DROP it on their DESK.  DO IT NOW!
 
I had a post that was deleted.  It was in response to someone saying Obama was useless, or Obama can only read a teleprompter, or Obama is from Africa, or some such nonsense.  My reply went something like this:

Yea, I miss GWB too.  Those were the good old days.  I mean Bush (oops, Cheney) gave us two illegal wars.  That's great.  But we don't have to be nostalgic.  Each and every day there is usually a new de()ad soldier to remind us.  Yep the good old days haven't left us at all.

Now that POST is true.  You may not like it, but it is TRUE.  IT IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR DELETION.  What is your problem HP?
 
Ronald Reagan, Worst President of my Lifetime.

He gets bonus points for having spawned the Bushes.  No Reagan, no Bushes.

There is a great story about GHWB after Carter won the election in 1976.  GHWB traveled to Plains to meet with Carter.  He wanted Carter to leave him as the head of the CIA.  He told Carter not to worry, that he did not have his own agenda.  He would do what Carter wanted him to do.  He was a "company guy".
Well, Bush left and Carter recalls feeling that Bush was kind of pathetic and that he didn't have a belief system of his own.  So, as we know, Carter did not give him the job.  In retrospect, that was probably bad for Democrats, because if he had been Carter's CIA guy, Reagan in all likelihood would not have picked him as his running mate.  And so on...
Well, Carter was wrong.  The Bushes have a belief system.  It is called power and money.  Any way you can get it.
Their was also a great HERBLOK cartoon in the Washington Post in 1980 when Reagan picked Bush as his running mate.  The cartoon showed Bush on the ground repeatedly kissing Reagan's shoes while he said: Thank You,  Thank You,  Thank You,  Thank You,  Thank You.
 
He should veto this giant piece of craaap, because it is at east twice as large as it needs to be. Veto it and tell the military's lap dog Gates that it needs to be cut in half within 4 years. Then we will have to limp along with a DOD budget that is only as large as the next 8 countries combined. Oh, woe is our military. And woe are the cri()minal enterprises Halliburton and Blackwell.
Path()etic. Self serving Jer()()ks. Revolving door crime cloaked in the flag and fake patriotism. Hiding behind the lie of "Support our Troops".

Authority is a joke. It hides behind a curtain professing to hold knowledge, but in fact it is just an ignorant bully. Je()rks like these are the reason their should be an uprising and wealth should be REDISTRIBUTED down to people who contribute to this society.
 
Roberts mentioned "Balls & Strikes".  That was a bald faced lie.  You corporate lackeys just follow their agenda.  You are activist jackasses for the corporate elites.
Clarence Thomas has never, never, never, never opened his mouth to ask a question.  Never.  He's an intellectually bankrupt sex offender according to Anita Hill, and I BELIEVE Anita Hill.  Clarence just asks that snide jerk Antonin how to vote and that's what he does. Yes sir Mr. Antonin. Yes Sir.  Thank you sir.  Then its off to officiate at RUSH LIMBAUGH'S wedding.  Well I guess we no why that invitation occurred.
Roberts, I wish you nothing but ill health.  You lied to the American People and you are Corporate Activist Scum.
May the 5 of you go to hell.
 
END THESE TWO "WARS" NOW!

It strikes me that being at war IN Afghanistan is not the same as being at war WITH Afghanistan. There is no "Afghanistan" in any real sense. The Karzai family is simply another one of the many warlords, and not even one of the toughest. And the warlords will always win there. And they will keep killing each other. And Bin Laden is long gone. And we can't find him in those mountains anyway. So WHY ARE WE STILL THERE AGAIN? It was NOT the Afghan PEOPLE who protected Al Queda. It was the Taliban. And there is no way to "defeat" an amorphous group like the Taliban with a bunch of troops on the ground.
=======================

Oh stop making so much sense. That kind of talk MIGHT lower the flow of money into Blackwater/Halliburton coffers. Nah, that's crazy talk.
 
Pathetic Speech.

Let's just take the 90% capture promise.  If they could have accomplished that it would have already occurred.  The best we can hope for is that they will once again lie and claim they are capturing 90%.  A 5 yo "engineer" could have come up with a domed capture response and anyone could have ordered supertankers there en masse to slurp the oil as it was exiting.  This would not have been the work of a genius.

Again,Pathetic.

So how are we not living under Corporate fascism?

    
"Michael Bloomberg: Leave BP Alone!"

Gosh Mike, thanks for weighing in.  The "Supreme Court" gives corporations person-hood, but apparently they are not responsible for their fuck ups.  How can that be?

Wealth distribution like we have here has historically fomented revolution.  Are we different?  Is the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands okay in 21st century America?

Is it okay that BP has possibly doomed our planet to MASS EXTINCTION?  (That includes People)  No more time to study, ponder, wonder, who's butt to kick.  Like FDR said DO SOMETHING.  Exxon, oddly enough, currently has the best safety record in the industry.  Freeze BP's Assets & Nationalize them.  WE DO NOT CARE IF THE RETHUGLICANS HOWL.  Do it by executive order.
Kick BP's ass out the door and bring in Exxon.

PUT TONY IN JAIL.  NO!
NO BAIL.  Do you get this?  This is CHECKERS, not CHESS.

Tell Thad, thanks for your time, here is your retirement watch.  He will kiss your feet.

Some scientists say that we are done.  That the crust is going to buckle under a massive gas explosion.  All of the oil will essentially be released at once.  My kid is finishing 11th grade.  Should he really worry about his final grades or is that a moot point at this state?  
Who knew?  Mass Extinction.  It will be frightening.  Of course the Rapture Idiots will say they told us so.  God will say, "look what they have done to the beautiful planet I gave them".

ThankfullyCanadian   3 minutes ago (4:30 PM) 11 Fans Become a fan Unfan "At some point," he said. "it's at the point where everything's dead."

Btw: He means ALL LIFE on the planet. Not just in the Gulf, and certainly not just marine life. This is an extinction scenario.

This is the absolute worst-case scenario that I've been worried about all along. Until now, I've only heard about this possibility from one source; a former Navy engineer who posted on a couple of tech blogs a few days after the leak started. His theory is that the rock bedding (just like Liefer describes) could come loose. With all that natural gas pressure, the most likely result would be a massive explosion and huge expansion of the opening; we're talking a hole in the earth the size of football fields. At that point, there's no possible way to stop the entirety of the Gulf oil reserves saturating the ocean. READ: GLOBAL EXTINCTION.

And now, to see this same gruesome prediction from such an official source? If he's part of a federal research team, you know he's not just spewing random conjecture. This is really not a situation we should have allowed ourselves to be in!!
