Hey, human race, you're really outdoing yourself this time. We were already on track to obliterate a third of the planet's plants and animals, but let's throw a couple million gallons of oil in the ocean to make it interesting. Which come to think of it, doesn't do that much for us anyway. KFTC.
this sucks so bad I can't even think of a funny remark or even intelligent remark or any remark really. Just like Tombstone "I ain't got the words." Wildlife loss and environmental damage is unbelievable but the human losses have not even begun. They can't even stop it. We are totally fucked. The fact that it is in the gulf stream is a worst case scenario for East coasters especially south of us. This is so fucked and it is making me sick. Wait until a Cat 5 hurricane runs into this mess and we will really be fucked. I get to say to my daughter, "Back in my day the ocean used to be blue and you could actually touch it without getting poisoned. Obama should have never come to the middle on this...huge fucking mistake.
ReplyDelete"but the human losses have not even begun." I guess I shouldn't say that to the workers that were killed...
ReplyDeleteThat's word. I heard a first-hand account from one of the workers on the radio the other day. It sounded pretty bad and it's not their fault. Work is work. Pawns are pawns.

ReplyDeleteDidn't this pass just before the gulf spill? Fuck you obama.
"The bottom line is this: Given our energy needs, in order to sustain economic growth and produce jobs and keep our businesses competitive, we are going to need to harness traditional sources of fuel even as we ramp up production of new sources of renewable, homegrown energy,"
ReplyDeleteIf this statement weren't true, you would have a point. Obama is for nuclear energy also(not exactly safe) but what he is faced with is a nation that consumes more energy than it can produce. Blaspheme elsewhere or ask SS for an alias and the priviledge to post in the Den or just grow a pair and state your name. Pussy.
uh yeah no one was saying this is Obama's fault anonymous dude. This is why picking a "side" on party lines is GAF. We are talking about a global tragedy and president bashing is all you can contribute? Keep fuckin that chicken. I was just saying he should have stuck to his guns and not let the 10 gallon hat crew push him around about offshore drilling. Stop the addiction, don't just give the addict methadone.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Boog, employees killed were the first victims of this i wasn't suggesting they are responsible.
"Didn't this pass just before the gulf spill? Fuck you obama. "
ReplyDeleteUh no actually, nothing passed it was a proposal that would not even happen while he is in office, it was just a political move to the middle. This is what these guys do...because of the aggressive health care reform the reds were getting pissed so he grabbed an issue to come to the middle on to get the rest of the renewable shit on the table. That was over a month and a half ago.
Now that this spill happened this bill will be shelved or thrown the fuck out.
This is solely anyone on board with "drill baby drill"'s fault not Obamas...jackass
I'm somewhere in the middle on this. Obama made the decision to expand offshore drilling, and not to tie his support for it to climate change or other alternative energy legislation, so he owns that decision.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, his decision clearly would not have been made if conservatives hadn't been pushing the "Drill Baby Drill" mantra for years prior. So they clearly need to own it more than anyone else. And of course the overwhelming majority of Americans who bought the GOP's bogus argument and supported expanded drilling, thereby making Obama's position switch a politically expedient one in the first place, own this as well.
Maybe we can just all agree to blame Dick Cheney?
P.S. Some random good news: Carbon-dioxide emissions were down seven percent last year; they're down about 10 percent total since 2005. Of course, some of that good news is actually bad news since it's a result of the recession, but two-thirds of that drop is real, the result of greater efficiency and more clean energy sources. So we're getting there, even without a climate bill.
P.P.S. BMR, I also heard that NPR interview with one of the guys on the Deep Water Horizon, and I would highly recommend it to everyone else. It's just his story and completely devoid of politics, Anonymous, though I do think a bonus of clean energy (wind, solar) is that it will be safer than dirty energy (oil, coal).
your rad head.
ReplyDeletewe may not be known for our blue crabs when our kids are grown.
it's difficult to swallow.
i'll fuck off elswhere assholes.
"It's difficult to swallow"...four words Jen Ranahan never said...
ReplyDeleteIs Anonymous who I think it is? If so, can I get some love for these?
I should note that my comment that "a bonus of clean energy is that it will be safer than dirty energy" could be wrong - sometimes seemingly innocuous technologies can have pretty dire consequences for workers tasked with extracting the newly-in-demand materials from the earth.
ReplyDeleteIs Anon Steven? If so leave on your savage beard and take off your shirt... and relax...
ReplyDelete"i'll fuck off elswhere assholes."
ReplyDeleteI think it's FetusFace. Ever since the Caps took a nose dive, he's been M.I.A. I was going to Photoshop his face on this photo but 'Missing In Action III' is the subtitle. It would explain why 'Anonymous' didn't care for Anja Rubik, being that FetusFace's dick is soaking wet 24/7...
99.95% sure it's Rusty T. Bone.
ReplyDeletePS Head is quite possibly funniest jackal of all time.
