i should've said "uranium 235". enriched uranium means that they've taken out all the other isotopes. so God did make u-235, but he didn't enrich it. i should've checked the palin post... i was going to say, that's got to be the stupidest thing i've ever heard her say, and she's got to be the epitome of slapstick comedy in the political world...

these are the same people who think the word "natural" on beauty and hygiene products automatically makes them good for you. hi, you know what else is natural? poison ivy.

John Clarke - once a Kiwi, now mainly an Aussie - does some seriously quality satire with his mate Bryan Daw.

First: Some comments on the BP oil spill.

And then an old classic: The Front Fell Off!

And plenty others on Youtube - but those fit the current thread quite well.

more info is coming out that for years bp has been operating on different standards. They operate with several failsafes and precautionary measures in the shetlands, etc. But with collusion with the US congress, they've managed to short cut through most of these fail safes while operating on US soil.

This includes the exxon valdez spill

i get the feeling the US gov't is hoping to come out of this whole spill business unscathed. they're hoping to point at BP and evil big business and say, "it wasn't our fault!"

There's a lot that I find increasingly troubling about this situation.

the coast guard is apparently busy serving the interests of BP, not the public.

BP is facing fresh scrutiny into whether it was involved in the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi, after the oil giant admitted lobbying the British government over a prisoner agreement with Libya.

Larry Hagman says "Shine baby, shine!" supporting solar power initiative
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/14/bu...html?src=busln

He said the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico prompted him to bring back the J. R. character. “With all that oil gushing away in the gulf, I figured it was time to call for a new direction in where we’re getting our energy,” the actor said. “Since Sarah Palin is saying, ‘Drill, baby, drill,’ I’m saying, ‘Shine, baby, shine.’ It’s a lot cheaper and cleaner.”

Taking on the oil industry... dangerous stuff. He's gonna get shot coming out with stuff like that.
