Look. I'm a capitalist. I think it's FINE to make money. It's even FINE to quit a job to make more money. But, then don't run around the world making value judgments on everybody else. Value judgments and sound bites are ALL she's got.

I got a question for you . Do you think Obama authored his books ?
Lol and you pan my links !

I mean, there are so many offensive commercials out there and, um. There's commercials out there that belittle women and demean them and make them feel like sex objects and I haven't heard a whole lot of protest from N.O.W. on that. H/T Bree Palin and a Guest commenter.

All I can say is besides helping launch a number of women to primary victories, she looks great in a t-shirt.
She's a MILF all right.Quote:

If you say you authored 4 books I have no reason to suspect otherwise. The only time I ever heard a politician say they didn't actually author something they put their name to is when Ron Paul denied he wrote racist rants on his newsletter .Quote:

In truth there is no reason to suspect either that Palin isn't penning her own FACEBOOK comments or that 'Dreams of my Father 'was actually penned by William Ayers. But both smears are on the web.
Book confirms: Ayers wrote Obama's book
Ayers isn't even a blip on Obama's screen.
I've never read Palin's FB stuff. Maybe I should make her my friend.
The rumor of Ayers penning 'Dreams' is as credible as NK linking to an obscure blogger who claims Palin doesn't write her own FB comments .She is active on both FB and Twitter .

I hear Kevin Costner wants to get in the act, do you have any more actors with a solution or should we just rely on BO
Still waitng for what Hugh Jackman ,Eric Bana ,and Nichole Kidman have to contribute.
Tell you what; Pluckaduck and Ozzie Ostrich are at a loose end these days but our superheroes aren't for rent. Ask Russell, he might throw a phone at it and Krudd will soon be looking for a new job, you could do worse than hire him, they tell me he works 26 hours a day.Quote:

K Rudd and Zero.. perfect together... although I hear tell that if KRudd used terms like "kick a$$ " it would be the mildest most polite thing he says that day.

The current oil disaster will spread around the world in a mere two to three years, first killing all life in all the oceans, then all the birds who fly through the air, and lastly, all the humans on this planet.
There will be no recovery from this disaster. You won’t be able to hide anywhere. There is nowhere you will be able to survive. The Earth is now a poisoned planet, wrecked by the hands of greedy men, destroying all life. At best, if you live far away from where the oil is now doing its deadly work, you may have a decade or two remaining. But what is CERTAIN is that once the oil has circulated around the world, at some point the air will turn sour, become unbreathable, and every lifeform on the surface of this planet will perish.
This is not macabre fiction or pathological prophecy. It is certain, according to existing science. It’s obvious. When the fish and birds are gone, so are we.
So apocalypse now! Let's face it that well can only be so big. We don't know how big it is but how much oil can it contain? Enough to create a toxic lake in the Gulf of Mexico? I suspect that might be possible, but enough to create a toxic lake of all the oceans of the world? Let's not get carried away, even God has told us a third of the fish will die, not all of them.Quote:

Natural Oil 'Spills': Surprising Amount Seeps into the Sea | LiveScience
Here is an account in Scientific American about gulf oil.
The Deepwater blowout will eventually be capped ;the local environment cleaned up . My greater concern is the human impact at the local level . What will make their lives more difficult would be if they lost the petroleum industry also .Quote:
Natural Oil Spills; November 1998; Scientific American Magazine; by MacDonald; 6 Page(s)
Beneath the Gulf of Mexico, to the south of Texas and Louisiana, tiny bubbles of oil and natural gas trickle upward through faulted marine sediments. Close to the seafloor, these hydrocarbons ooze past a final layer teeming with exotic deep-sea life before they seep into the ocean above. Buoyant, they rise through the water in tight, curving plumes, eventually reaching the surface. There the gas merges with the atmosphere, and the oil drifts downwind, evaporating, mixing with water and finally dispersing.
The best time to witness such a natural "oil spill" is in summer, when the Gulf stays flat calm for days at a time. In the middle of the afternoon, with the full heat of the tropical sun blazing off the sea, one can stand on the deck of a ship and watch broad ribbons of oil stretch toward the horizon. Cruising upwind along one of these slicks, one will notice that the sea takes on an unusual smoothness. The clarity of the water seems to increase, and the glare of the sun off the surface intensifies. Flying fish break from the bow waves and plunge into the water again almost without making a splash. Presently, the scent of fresh petroleum becomes evident--an odor that is quite distinct from the diesel fumes wafting from the ship--and one sees waxy patches floating on the water or clinging to the hull.
We're all doomed, doomed I tell you! BP has killed us all for filthy lucre!
Let us not forget that the hurricane season is on the horizon.Quote:

So we should each go out to the garage, close the doors, start the car and use up the harvested petroleum by going to sleep? Have fun with that.Quote:

Oh yes, and all the worlds problems aren't going to change either, regardless of who is in office. I really don't think any American president has really ever changed the world, so what's the point of arguing about the Presidency?
Ah I see. I don't see a suicidal tone at all, I guess that's why I was confused.Quote:

Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.
