President Barack Obomber- woop ass kick ya! Hi Yah!
maxrot, I didnt see Buckaroo Bonzai. I only like fiction..
These teabaggers might better be called douchebaggers but Mark Williams kicked your ass tom. You may have succeeded in talking over him but he had truth on his side. Islam and liberalism/progress are not compatible. Islam is a political doctrine looking to displace every other faith and mosques are a symbol of conquest. How about building a shrine to fascism in downtown Tel Aviv? I mean after all it has moved away from nazism.
You can cite the book of joshua all day long. Fact is that judaism and christianity are simply offshoots of this Old Testament cult of yahweh not a continuation of it. They are both new religions that started at about the same time and both based on stellar events. Islam was started in the dark ages and seems to want to take the world back there.
You can't sympathize with this barbaric religion and realistically call yourself liberal. So straighten up.
@harry, re #17 ref of #14, you just missed my very obscure reference to a Bukaroo Banzai movie quote, nothing else. Don't think to hard on my comments, sometimes I'm just in my own little world.

It's funny because it's true
@DRichards, my wife and I chuckle at guys we see driving oversized pickup trucks or SUV's, the bigger the vehicle the more insecure the driver.

Dear Maxrot re: #14 "Am I being unreasonable? "No. "Am I incorrect in my reasoning?" No." Do I owe FreeRider an apoligy?" No. sorry i was not clear.

Re: And that those who are quick to cast dispersions on anothers genitalia are just expressing what they themselves are most insecure about.
Very Good!
@harry, was that no on 1, or... a... bomb Russia?

Re: what you got from FreeRider is the general conservative response
Except that FreeRider appears not to be a conservative. There are fanatics on both sides of the fence.
@rladlof, let the poster know that by the way he expresses himself, its obvious that deep in his Democratic heart lurks an oppressive little fascist wanting everyone to march in goosestep formation. That taking one step forward, then two steps backward doesn't count as an accomplishment. And that those who are quick to cast dispersions on anothers genitalia are just expressing what they themselves are most insecure about.

rladof, what you got from FreeRider is the general conservative response you get when you make a point about something that they can't refute with facts. Just get loud and angry and you don't have to worry about knowing what you're talking about.
IMO, you're right about Harry Reid. May be good for his state, but ridiculously inept as Senate Majority Leader.

Re: Am I being unreasonable? Am I incorrect in my reasoning? Do I owe FreeRider an apoligy?
It just goes to show that there are blind fanatics on both the left and the right. FreeRider apparently believes that by shouting & name calling he/she wins the debate.
Giving Harry the benefit of doubt, I too would go with B ;)
Dear Mysterious Floating Head: 1. No. 2. No.3. No.
I am having a running debate with a poster at TPM and require whatever insight you good folk can provide:
My assertion is that although Senator Reid appears to be a good Senator for his state and maintains a fairly progressive voting record, that he is either:
A. Spineless,
B. Spectacularly crappy (inept) at his day job, OR
C. Simply criminally negligent and enacting intentional malfeasance.
Presently, I am going with “B” but FreeRider thinks that:
“Dude, STFU with your whining bullshit. F**k you tweezer-dicks who dismiss everything accomplished as not good enough. Just f**k off you worthless pile.”
Am I being unreasonable? Am I incorrect in my reasoning? Do I owe FreeRider an apoligy? Please let me know . . .
If you're not depressed already, did you see the article Sunday or yesterday about the 10 cannisters of hazardous gas caught in a net in New York? One cannister leaked, sickening the crew. I think evetually we will learn that illegal dumping is the rule, not the exception.
If we can't make a push for implementation of alternative energy generation now, when will we (if) ever do it?

1. Set up a detour or structure with acoustics to route wildlife away from the Gulf
2. Set up search and rescue teams to get wildlife out of the area and to safety- fish could be netted and re-located
3. Let James Cameron and his equipment in
4. Get Kevin Costner’s separators in
5. Hold international panels
6. Bring in other teams, make everything having to do with the disaster public.
7. Develop a better blog for everyone to join in with their ideas, and not BP’s pacification hotline.
8. Use BIOGREEN CLEAN instead of DAWN by Proctor & Gamble that performs animal testing and harmful chemicals.
9. Do a full scale surveillance of all the drilling rigs.
10. Allow the foreign countries to help as they have offered with skimmers, technology, intellectual contributions
11. Allow the media more access, what is with the no fly zone.
12. Every single time a platform is set up with a drill, booms and mechanical skimmers should be hired to sit and be there, just like cruise liners have life boats

SkyTruth.Org reports on more spills ...
"SkyTruth may have discovered a small but persistent leak or oily discharge from Platform #23051 in the Gulf of Mexico, unrelated to the ongoing BP / Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We see a small slick apparently emanating from the platform location on multiple satellite images taken since April 25, including yesterday's Envisat ASAR radar image.
According to MMS data, the platform is located at 28.938022 degrees North latitude, 88.970963 degrees West longitude. That's about 12 miles east-southeast of the tip of the South Pass outlet channel of the Mississippi River.
If anyone happens to be in the vicinity of this platform it would be great to get some observations, photos and/or video to document this possible leak or discharge. "
This shouldn't surprise any of us. Big corporations don't and won't care about the human element. They are only in the business to make money and will do whatever it takes. Change the system - change the world.
