    Tis a shame that no one ever seems to have the stones to say “Try it, motherfucker!”.

    Really? BP rules?
    Well, BP sucks a lot of things, but they are on American waters? And so, do they really rule?
    I’ve been very charitable in not blasting Obama, just because of the blinding fact that he is not George Bush.
    But here, in this instance, Obama should be calling all of the forces – billions of taxpayer subsidized nuclear submarines, SEAL forces, whatever it takes to kill this spill, Baby, spill.
    There are articles on Solari and Jeff Rense. Yes, BP is responsible for the spill,
    but for Christ’s sake, what do they care what is occuring other than minimizing the cost to their shareholders? I’m sure that BP is more concerned with their account books and whether their shares are retaining value on Wall Street than they are with the real flucking ecological end of the natural world disaster this is causing.

    ah, just wait, tonight there is an Aurara Alert
    http://spaceweather.com/ (that’s tomorrow) flares come off the sun. Can’t wait to see what happens when the Sun gets the picture back as to what is happening on Earth. If the Sun is the Mother of our world, she will NOT BE HAPPY. Can’t wait to see what anger the Sun will be sending our way when she sees this MESS!
    Seems to me we are in for some very serious rock and roll.
    Back up your data, fasten your safety belts, and give up a prayer of thanks and praise that you are living in VERY INTERESTING TIMES!
    Exxon also created a monster with their drunken skipper. And Exxon has never paid a true price for their horror in Alaska. Can’t say I didn’t feel some glee to see the BP gas station in my local DESERTED.
