Some Confusion Happened

Glad you are back !!!

Hello Pumas……….
Murphy we will wait for you….why?…because HELL HAS FROZEN OVER! Just my NSHO, not much to get outa bed for theses days. I have deceided to be a problem and not a soultion. It seems to be really easy..getting on the first gravy train I see.

Of course Im discouraged to read about the oil spill, good grief, but im encouraged that people are working their asses off to get it taken care of, we will all suffer together it will be something else

Oh holy shit Murphy…NO WASHING MACHINE!!! I feel your pain.
On the bright side you are close to TJX and Marshall’s so buy new clothes. Sale prices for Mom’s day………….
The oil spills make me think of the slime of O’pukeobumma and the devastation he has oozed all over America.
I love your filter.

murphy: anyone else too discouraged to even read the news about the oil spill?
——
Initially, yes, but now I’m not giving it much of my time because it’s beginning to strike me as a lot of posturing about maybe’s.
They’ve closed this off, declared that a danger area. Just in case this happens or that happens.
BP’s gonna pay.
They’ve put bumpers out for containment but the wind is too stiff, the sea too restless for them to work.
BP will be held accountable.
They tried to burn the oil, but the wind is too stiff, the sea too restless.
BO will take care of everything.
They might put some kind of chemical on it to make it disintegrate, so to speak.
Seafood prices are rising.
It was gushing 50,000 gallons a day [I'm making these numbers up as I go] but now it is gushing 3 times as much.
Not to worry. Janet is on top of it.
In summation, it it feels like the Swine Fly er H1N1 hype.
Kind of like CHAOS as in Get Smart. Not the acronym chaos, but the word.

Belize, Costa Rica, Iceland, New Zealand, anyone?
You never hear a peep out of New Zealand… Maybe that’s the ticket?

I’ll be checking out Iceland Dances…but Islands are expensive places to live. Iceland is having a brutal economic decline also. Maybe I can get a job blowing ash…

Hey, murphy, so glad to see you back up.

“some confusion happened” rings a bell – is that one of W’s quotes?

I have to admit I am something like hypervigilant on this crisis down here in my beautiful Gulf. I can’t help but read it. Something like the prey being hypnotized by the snake and coming closer? I’ve already cried.
When the weather clears and the photos are updated, I’m going to cry more.

Prince William Sound still smells like a gas station 21 years later. I just can’t stop feeling that my home is doomed.

BLACKOUT

It occurred to me as entirely strange that the BP rig blew on April 20 and did not make the news until the 29th (per my post #45 below, Thursdays Prowl)

Or is Murphy not the only one confused?

Does anyone know of any earlier news of it?

Congress has been after our vitamins for a long time. During the last several years, I’ve signed at least two petitions in my Health Food Store to keep our health food out of the control of government.

Now Waxman has found a way to sneak it in to an unrelated bill:

I detest these people!

Dances I have 110K……You repair and I have the lower flat.

Oh shit is that 10 miles from the WH??

LOL!

Deal! I’ll repair. You have the lower residence and you can move upstairs during the rainy season!

#21 Delle….you can bet if it’s something that benefits one of them, like Donald Rumsfeld, who owns stock in Tamiflu, they’ll approve it even if it’s harmful. They aren’t grabbing the vitamin industry in order to “protect” us, that’s for sure.

Talk about confused.

Crap I have fallen down the rabbit hole but unlike Alice not sure if I can climb out.
Following what you’re all up to but unable to be productive now.
Praying things turn around for all of us.
BTW I am an interior designer with a degree in architecture as well as in fashion design, have designed for and dressed some important women. I am willing to travel anywhere.
I also have experience working campaigns, especially fund raising and rescuing women…that is all women but me.
If you know of any jobs that would include only rescuing me.. please contact me. Thanks

About the time I put that two story house on 14 Acres up for sale!!

Anyone see Hillary today at the UN.
She looked absolutely exhausted.
I feel worried about her.

#30 Headclunker.

I gave you a direct link. Reuters and AP feed ALL the newspapers, so I chose Reuters as the one example out of many for anyone interested in actually looking up the info. I said it was easy because it took me all of one quick search and on the first page I saw Reuters, ABC NEWS (that is TELEVISION), The Guardian (UK), Washington Post and many others that covered the news the day after it happened.

If you don’t know how to search, and don’t even read what I found for you, then why are you making proclamations that it “certainly” didn’t make the televised news?

I put “oil rig explosion” + April 20 into google search. The very first page yielded multiple sources covering the explosion as soon as it happened, so you can look it up yourself, especially since I brought the easily ascertainable proof right here for you.

Here is the same link I provided above, yet again:

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63K4I920100421

Reuters is a major source of MSM news. I can’t and shouldn’t have to reproduce every single link out of the many I easily found, so you can plug “oil rig explosion” and “April 20″ into google search and see them for yourself. Both TV and major newspapers covered this tragedy from the day after the explosion.

Headclunker….sorry to sound so grumpy, but I’m here squinting like popeye, with a weepy eye, and it’s a super stressful week….both good and bad stress, at least! Anyway, the bad news out there is bad enough. We don’t need to invent any bizarre “angles” — especially ones that are verifiably false.

ZEE

Would Love to hear what your ideas are. If I can help in any way.

Dances, if you could forward my email to Zee
Thanks

Delle – that explains the policy – and also why when Ahnuld changed his mind on it, Obama still didn’t.

Poor B0bots! They were hoping to pin the car bomb on a “teabagger”

this article is absolutely dead on

Dragonfly, I do not doubt for a minute that BP withheld information. We’re still finding out details that no doubt BP won’t be forthcoming about. But the suggestion that the incident “didn’t make the news” is inaccurate.

You know.. MSNBC has a little segment of Morning Joe called
“NEWS YOU CAN’T USE” . How telling ..because almost every other news agency now USES THE NEWS …we either get our news from a pre-disposed and slanted perspective … or we simply do not see what the major news organisations do not want people to see . The White House Correspondence Dinner the other night not only was not funny in the bigger picture of White House reporting, but a true reflection of the attitudes therein, sarcastic insider joking at the expense of the rest of the country.
The whiner in chief could not even make remarks addressing one of the the worst eco disasters in the history of this country without whining about the rain “By the way, I just want to point out, I was told there was drizzling out here — (laughter) — is this Louisiana drizzle right here? (Laughter.)” Quoted from the Huffinglue post where they describe him thus ” Obama rushed to southern Louisiana to inspect forces arrayed against the oil gusher as Cabinet members described the situation as grave and insisted the administration was doing everything it could.”
Rushed from where ?? His hangover after the correspondents dinner ?
And then he has the audacity to whine and joke about getting a little water on his most precious self while the entire Gulf Coast is being inundated with oil from the leak.

so glad someone finally didnt let Bill Maher get by with
his blathering and straighten him out on some facts

Bill Moyers has retired.

His last program had “# 1 populist agitator” Jim Hightower as his guest who had some interesting views on liberal vs progressive vs populist.

But what is populism? When it’s defined as grassroots democracy at its best, both sides of the political spectrum are happy to grab the mantle. But both sides run from the label when it signifies rabid, unreasoned anger.

The COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW lambasted the term’s use in the 2008 campaign season: “Before this gets out of hand, big media needs to stop using the word ‘populist’ to describe Democrats’ economic programs and their appeals to voters….Reporters and headline writers don’t need to be historians-on-deadline to know that the word ‘populist’ has no widely agreed-upon definition, but plenty of negative associations.” Those associations include negatives, “anti-capitalist and backward-looking,” and perhaps positives, “reformist, anti-elitist, and yes, anti-big business.”

(He also had, as his final guest, Barry Lopez, if anyone is a fan of his writings on nature, spirit and the human condition.)

http://blog.skytruth.org/

this blog has a daily report on the oil disaster in the Gulf, in particular a new estimate as to the discharge stating that the oil in the Gulf already exceeds what Valdez spilled.

I know this is getting old my posting all this. I am almost finished with Misogyny by Jack Holland and will put some details from that book here and at the women lynching forum.
