Amateur Flyover Video: BP Slick Covers Dolphins and Whales
Around the 6:33 mark, the narrator/filmer, John Wathen, comes to a pod of 36 dolphins stranded in oil, “struggling just to breathe”. Another 18 are discovered later, and then A GODDMAN FUCKING SPERM WHALE TRAPPED IN OIL UP TO ITS GODDAMN BLOWHOLE. “Across his back we could see red patches of crude as if [...]

Read More..>>IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH
It has been more than a month since BP’s oil rig exploded and started an underwater volcano of oil. Ever since then, it has been a daily disaster, and no one seems to really be noticing.
On Sunday, a new eruption of oil began. When will the government take control away from BP, a foreign [...]
Don’t Shit Where You Eat
First press play:
Then open this in a different window, for the soundtrack effect.
Two weeks ago, the government put out a round estimate of the size of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico: 5,000 barrels a day. Repeated endlessly in news reports, it has become conventional wisdom.
But scientists and environmental groups are raising [...]
Amateur Video of the Gulf Show Full Scale of Disaster. Thanks, BP. Thanks a Lot.
BP has been desperately trying to downplay the sheer scale of the disaster, and the media has helped by not showing the complete picture. I think everyone’s noticed the way the story has slowly disappeared from the headlines, but the gusher has not stopped flowing: indeed, we’re talking about hundreds of thousands of barrels [...]
Read More..>>Luck Runs out
BP, unsurprisingly, was unable to cap the damaged oil well that is gushing anywhere from 5,000-200,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico.
My personal belief, and I would love to be wrong, is that they won’t be able to fix it. The oil drilling business is always risky, always a gamble; [...]
Game Over
What follows is my personal opinion.
I think the gusher in the Gulf is a lot worse than anyone in industry or government wants to admit. BP is clearly panicking, flailing to contain the damage they said “was unlikely, or virtually impossible… to occur.
As I’ve said before, the fact that the media, the government, and [...]
This Is a Joke, Right

This is a joke, right? I mean, this can’t be serious. Is Joe Wurzelbacher now officially going by “Joe the Plumber”, like the Iron Sheik or some other WWF character?
No wonder conservatism has lost its way. It’s become the political philosophy of idiots and charlatans..
This can’t be serious. Joe the fucking [...]
John Cornyn is an Idiot. But I Repeat Myself.
For a guy who likes to dress up like a cowboy and pretend he’s some champion of the common man, John Cornyn doesn’t know shit about agriculture.
Here the big lunkhead decries a $150 million line item for honeybee insurance for farmers, displaying the characteristic ignorance of the Texas Republican party (double warning: pdf, and incredibly [...]
