I am SO sick of hearing.

how the gulf oil leak is SO bad. The main damage has been how the gov't has shut down the area. The best example I have heard. as to the size of the event, 85 mil gallons, is that it is the size of an Olympic swimming pool, that is 8 miles long. Seems bad, BUT, when compared to the whole Gulf of Mexico, wouldn't even be a small pencil mark on the map. Get real. people. Look at the REAL problems we have. Wars and economic damage from the last administration. THAT'S what's gonna kill us, not some oil leak

Are you out of your mind???
A month ago it was the size of the state of Kansas and growing! Think for just a sec as to what damage all this crude is doing to the environment, now and the future. What it is doing to the fishermen in the area, the recreation, food supply. The list is endless. Now multiply by how many other leaks are out there! Sometimes, you can make some really dumb statements. Now we learn that China has a huge oil leak! YES, this could kill us.........

The damage has been to the area being shut down. There could be worse damage if a hurricane somehow drives the oil ashore. Sure, there is some damage and will be some more, but it is miniscule compared to other threats to us. The 'state of Kansas' thing is a sheen of oil that is less than a millimeter thick. Not good, but not catastophic. The damage comes from shutting down ALL new drilling, and closing 1/3 of the gulf to fishig. A HUGE overreaction.

Just look at all the people who have been sickened from the odor of the oil slick being on the water. What do you think that is doing to the crab, shrimp, and lobster? Contamination, that's what. I certainly wouldn't eat what would be pulled out of that under water oil infested area...and it is underwater, not just on top, Stevo! I have no idea where you're info is coming from, but you're getting misled.
Of course a Hurricane is going to blow that Sh*t all the way to Canada! Before we begin drilling again, let's make it SAFE, damnit!

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
