Militarily, we are a superpower and second to no one. Economically, we are a banana republic and a cesspool for garbage dumping.
We have many to blame.

Obama needs to declare BP a terrorist enemy combatant and all of BP's bank accounts seized or frozen until BP sets aside $30 billion dollars in a bank account controlled by the U.S. government. This money will be used for cleanup and compensation to all victims of this environmental disaster. Better yet, seize all of BP's assets and liquidate the corporation and start nationalizing the oil industry. The oil resources of the U.S.A. belong to its citizens and not to some foreign multinational corporations. The oil profits belong to the U.S.A. citizens and should be used to develop alternative renewable energy resources, universal single payer health care, free universal college education for every citizen and reinvigorate strategic industries to provide more decent jobs to U.S.A. citizens.
All of BP's top executives should also be declared enemy combatants, tried for their crimes against Earth and all of its living creatures including humans and thrown in jail for life with no possibility of parole. Earth's inhabitants will be suffering the consequences of this oil disaster for at least the next 100 years.
This BP oil disaster is a terrorist act that makes Osama Bin Laden envious. It will be hard for anyone to surpass this terrorist act.
Is Obama a criminal?

As President gerald I am closing the American Embassy in Israel for killing an American at sea. We are breaking off all ties because of Israel's holocaust against the Palestinians. We will no longer give Israel $4 billion as a yearly gift. This money will go to pay for American health care.
We live in a hell-hole country with 25% of children or 31 mllion children requiring food programs at school on a daily basis.
Comcast to buy NBC and MSNBC! There goes great progressive shows out the door. Ameircan minds will be filled with garbage.
Thom, I have a suggesstion. Play one Louis Armstrong's songs on your show to its completion. I like Louis Aemstrong. My father was a big fan of Jimmy Durante and Edward G. Robinson. What make these three personalities so unique were their voices.
Thom, I want to express to you a BIG thank you for cutting back on your belief that the United States of Hell has a future. The above few sentences just continue to re-enforce my belief that our country has no future. Here is a prediction - the middle class in the United States of Hell is history.
GO, FLYERS!!
BP = Blown Prevention

All I know is someone needs to punish those photographers for taking those pictures. Damn them; its all their fault...
just ask BP.

I suppose that those oil soaked birds are paying for their lack of intelligence and motivation to build boats.
Nothing to see here, just move along.
this ruined my day. everyone knew this kinda stuff was going on, but out of sight out of mind right?

@MAXROT RE the Clash of those Titans:
Disney would frag BP. . . Did you see the South Park episode ‘The Ring’? The RAT would eat them and fly back up to Valhalla to rest . . .
@n8chz, BP probably has more clout, but I seriously doubt enough to hold of a civil case brought by the Mouse. But its a moot point until something like that happens anyway.

I wish I could remember the name of the Weather Channel show, but the announcer said it worked well and cut off the heat flow to fuel the storm. I thought it was surreal with what is going on now. There was another method that seeded clouds with super absorbent material to break the circulation pattern and thus reduce the energy in the storm.
I wouldn't assume out of hand that BP has less clout than Mickey.
Blessed are the Cheesemakers, for they shall work for the GRATER good..
Blessed are the cheesemakers
So, how did the small-scale benches work?
Oh I just had a wicked thought. What if the oil slick does get around to the east coast of Florida, gets caught in a hurricane and Disney World gets oiled. What oh what will BP do then, because they wouldn't have the political or monetary power to give the Mouse the kiss off.
The Clash of those Titans, would be fun to watch from the sidelines.

Caught the end of show on the Weather Channel last night that showed some research into reducing the damage caused by Hurricanes. Small scale bench tests were completed to test the effectiveness of the proposed technology to starve the energy source for the storm. Believe it or not, one of the technologies that was mentioned was spreading a one molecule layer of OIL on the water surface. The brief segment did not opine as to what would happen to the oil as it was spread by the storm. With early forecasts of a strong Hurricane season, maybe they will get their real world test.
Did the NOAA head really say the underwater plumes of oil reported by other scientists are really blooms of plankton? She sounds like BP’s (Beyond Prosecution) CEO saying the workers are getting food poisoning.
ya mean "Pontius Pilate Mouse"?
well Cheeses better be careful, Mickey Mouse will eat it all up...
Cheeses love me this I know...
'cause "Joy of Cooking" tells me so...
Its so rich and I'm so so.....
Cheeses love me this I know.
Golly! Now, I wish I had magical powers like the Firefox and was as tasty as the Cheeses . . .
