And on the stereo question? I can't believe you asked that question in the midst of this crowd, Donald! Now, if you had asked, "Do we really need I-pods?"----Uh, NO!

Just seeing if you were paying attention - also note that I limited it to solid state.

what you had better hope like hell for is another planet for you grand kids to live on.

have you ever been to alaska i lived in the area around the prince willam sound
it should be a crime to even say the word exxon. you can talk down to me when some drunk fucking asshole destroyes the place you live and work.

there perhaps we can get this thread back on track

So, hows it feel to be a tree hugger?

Well my car got to actually hit the road last night when I took my bride to dinner since it was her birthday. Otherwise it may be another month before it sees action again.

You can't fool all of the people all of the time?

On a more serious note, I'm not so sure that there is much Obama CAN do. Make a few phone calls, poke a few people in the ass...and sometimes that does more harm than good.

But he's sitting in the big chair, and he's gonna catch hell, whether he deserves it or not.

So now with the mud and junk shot having failed they're saying it could be August before they get the relief well drilled and the flow slowed/stopped, even then there is no guarantee.

Seems they weren't prepared for anything like this at all. Using 30 year old tech to clean up isn't working either. Also BP isn't even supplying filter masks to the folks doing the clean up and they are already getting sick just like the Valdez clean crew got sick. BP is using the same old divide and conquer tactics that Exxon used after the Alaska spill to further their interests and limit their liability.

What a freekin mess.

If it were on land, they'd be able to plug it. But no, folks throw a hissy fit over drilling on land .. but look what happens when it's deep under water and can't be easily reached in order to stop it. Rather than having a mess in one spot .. they have a wide spread mess in the water that follows the coastline. Smart, very smart to support offshore drilling and not on land where it CAN be stopped.
