Reps. Price, Barton cause uproar over BP comments
Conservatives Split Over Barton's BP Apology
This is reminiscent of Harry Whittington apologizing to Dick Cheney, when Dick Cheney shot him in the face while "quail hunting".
Whittington: "My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice-President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week." (...after Dick Cheney shot me in the face.......)
HOLY CRAP!!!!! JOE BARTON IS HARRY WHITTINGTON!!!!!!!

...and where IS Dick Cheney since the oil spill, anyway? The Dick and Liz Cheney Show was on all the networks, you couldn't turn on any "news" network without seeing them. They seemed to have "disappeared" since the BP oil spill. Where are they? Why did they "disappear"???
They think between 25,000 and 50,000 barrels of oil gushes into the Gulf of Mexico each and every day. This is a visualization of what that amount of oil would look like that is leaking - if piled up in one area - so you can get your mind around the shear vast quantity involved.

Joke: How to Spot a Republican
ReplyDeleteA woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be an Obama Democrat."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

This oil contains 40% methane per a report this morning - normal for crude is 4-5%.
ReplyDeleteThis lends credence to Chris Landau's theory on the creation of this oil - not dinosaurs and plant matter :

I went to Sam's Club today, and they have a person scanning the items in your cart while you're in line, and when you get to the cashier, you scan your Sam's card and it rings up everything in a second. You know the guy that reads your receipt and makes sure it matches what's in the cart? He stands by the door. Well, the receipt said 10 items, but I got 12. The girl who scanned the items in my card missed two bottles of pomegranate juice. So the guy at the door looks at the receipt and matches it to the items in my cart, checks the receipt with a marker, and says "Go ahead". Out the door. So, shouldn't he have seen the 2 bottles of pomegranate juice NOT on the receipt???
ReplyDeleteI always say to my wife, I bet that guy never really looks, and he just marks the receipt with a check. Well, I've just proven that I'm right. And I only had 12 items (the receipt said 10). If he can't catch TWO items not on a 10-item receipt, how can he catch someone with 100 items? I always thought that was just bullshit, like airport security. You know, make you "think" they're really checking.
