An Empty Cab Arrived ; This Man Got Out

BP Tony Hayward testified before the United States Congress this week. Tony's testimony offered little insight of the How and When 11 men died and the Gulf of Mexico became the private cesspool of BP.

The Why, however became abundantly clear to the American citizens. If the viewers tuned in came away with anything it's the overwhelming reality : Tony doesn't know anything and he was in charge!

Hayward's management style is seen as not hands on involvement but; rather catastrophic crisis control

Mr Hayward repeatedly advised; BP has an in progress investigation as does the United States Government. Both investigations are truly pointless. When you examine the man in charge, you may expect similar outcomes.

The cross examination by Congress reminded the viewer of Elementary School Principal Office.

Tony's impressive education and degrees questions the collegiate institutions ability to teach and certify graduates. Proof enough education degrees does not reflect success, often referred to as Common Sense. Tony seemed afflicted with Bushes well known and way to prevalent "Foot in Mouth Disease"

Tony embodies all the attributes of the Peter Principle.

His legacy no doubt will never reflect his statements on Capitol Hill. Tony will always be remembered for his management in denial philosophy.

1.I just want my life back

2. Its a Small Spill

3. It's a Big Ocean

Tony subsequently announced he was stepping down from operations in the Gulf of Mexico to attend the Yacht Races in not so Great Britain. A good fit I think for all.

His replacement has not been revealed as Americans patiently pray for a man like Harry Truman or Lee Iaccoca. A leader without lengthy degrees but embodies the" Buck Stops Here" or" Lead Follow But Get Out of The Way "philosophy.

The oil industry was not built by Universities.

The Universities purpose was to teach and emulate the very industries the illiterate Wildcatter's developed a 125 years ago. The Wildcatter with consideration for his own life as well as others would never have committed such complete disregard for safety over selfish bottom line costs. BP's management conducted wilful reckless manslaughter, crimes against humanity and environment.

It's a shame the University can apply so much scientific knowledge to the oil exploration business but cannot certify the Common Sense taught by sustained adversity, not University.

If collegiate testing resulted in death or injury for each wrong answer the students would benefit enormously from The School of Hard Knocks. If the corporate bean counters in accounting were burned alive and cast into the ocean for each mistake made, perhaps they too would appreciate the importance of safety protocols. We are all witnessing out of control unbrideled Capitalism in concert with more government corruption at the Gulf

If You Thought It Couldn't Get Worse

Please tell me this isn't true. Americans buying Russian Helicopters to give away to the country that attacked the World Trade Center, White House and Pentagon.

If your over forty, ask yourself "what would Ronald Reagan Say about buying communist helicopters for the Taliban".

If you ever needed proof this is not a war this should qualify. The first objective in war is total destruction of the opponent. As is the second and third.

The claims by our Pentagon is the Russian chopper is better suited for the Afghan climate and the pilots prefer the right side divers seat over the American version.

The Blackhawk and Apache choppers perform best in flower laden meadows with babbling brooks, therefore inferior.

I'm speechless

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is snapping up Russian-made helicopters to form the core of Afghanistan's fledgling air force, a strategy that is drawing flak from members of Congress who want to force the Afghans to fly American choppers instead.

In a turnabout from the Cold War, when the CIA gave Stinger missiles to Afghan rebels to shoot down Soviet helicopters, the Pentagon has spent $648 million to buy or refurbish 31 Russian Mi-17 transport helicopters for the Afghan National Army Air Corps. The Defense Department is seeking to buy 10 more of the Mi-17s next year, and had planned to buy dozens more over the next decade.

The spectacle of using U.S. taxpayer dollars to buy Russian military products is proving a difficult sell in Congress. Some legislators say that the Pentagon never considered alternatives to the Mi-17, an aircraft it purchased for use in Iraq and Pakistan, and that a lack of competition has enabled Russian defense contractors to gouge on prices.

MONEY TALKS

More Empty Threats From Congress

First it was the Dirty Dozen Bankers called on the carpet to testify why they stole the American public blind. After the ceremonial ass chewing in the front room, they all convened to the backroom for handouts and bailouts, followed by even more obscene bonus booty.

Scientist place the age of the Earth at 3.5 to 4.5 billion years old. The Universe is 13.75 billion years old. If science thinks this was a big bang wait until the US 17 trillion dollars deficit explodes.

There are one thousand billion in a trillion in America, by the way. I had to check. Not so Great Britain has a different standard , but you get the drift.

Worse yet, Einstein claims there will never be a shortage of zeroes for the zeroes in Congress.

How can anyone spend money this fast. We must be approaching Warp Speeds.

Then usher in corporate elites GM and Fiat whaa whaa whaa crying, the Japaneses beat them up and it's not fare. The Hummer won't hum anymore. Imagine that. Fiat is Italian, flying Italian private jets. More Bailouts ,Handouts and the unemployment rate is still 18%.

Thank your lucky stars Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac, Studebaker, Packard, Duezenburg, American Motors, Hudson, and a host of others are out of business. Surely they would be just as needy and just as greedy.

Then along comes the biggest dumb asses of all BP, from not so Great Britain.

Not even an American Company destroying what few jobs we have left in America. The ones that the Pharaoh's of Wall Street haven't figured out a way to legislate Wall Street Control.

Here comes BP, the supreme being of incompetence. The Big People of the Outer Continental Shelf dwellers. Sounds so important don't they. They cannot perform their jobs and now destroy fishing and tourism of the little people. Purely "Me First" mentality condemned in Nursery School.

More ceremonial ass chewing and return to backroom for donations, subsidies, handouts and bailouts. Spineless Congressmen with no backbone or intestinal fortitude scolding BP who owns them all lot, stock and barrel.

Have we forgotten the $4.00 a gallon a gas in 2008?

Is it any wonder we see the formations of militia and tea party demonstrations. Our government sponsors the lost liberty in the Patriot Act ,Uncontrolled Borders and Nationalized Banking.

By the way folks please note: Militia and Tea Parties are guaranteed in the US Constitution and Nationalized Banking, Patriot Act and Uncontrolled Borders are expressly prohibited.

Honestly, if your going to steal can you please clean up your mess and leave the little people alone. They don't rely on anyone but the fish . They are men of honor.......

Blow Job

With all the brilliant minds of BP and high paid government official who cannot control the manmade Frankenstein beneath the sea with Bottom Kills, Top Kill, Junk Shots etc. They haven't tried the "Blow Job".
Ingredients required for the Blow Job are one Blow Out Preventer (BOP) an Carbon Dioxide (co2).

Check and check.

We all know the basics of modern day refrigeration are any gas escaping high pressure produces lower temperatures. More pressure means gas will liquefy and eventually turn to a solid. Current under sea streaming video clearly show reflective ice crystals emitted naturally from the pipe.

Plumbers have frozen pipes for years as standard procedure for stopping flow when valves are absent.
Plumbers utilize a collar around the pipe injected with CO2, the gas under pressure forms Dry Ice. Dry Ice being many times colder than ice freezes pipes quickly.

The gas and oil being burnt off above Deepwater Horizon is producing copious amounts of Carbon Dioxide that is currently exhausted into the atmosphere. If this CO2 were captured and forced down into the Blow Out Preventer you would have an under sea freezing of the pipe. Lower temperatures and high pressures are both abundant a mile below sea level.

I call this a Blow Job. Can you imagine I just made it up.

So, if Godzilla is busy and can't make it to the Gulf of Mexico. I suggest the Blow Job. It makes more sense than golf balls for the Gulf Hole...

Plain as Black and White

The photos at right were both taken in the last thirty days. The top photo depicts a unpublicized community of unpaid volunteer's effort to sandbag an over flowing river in the Mid West.

Their effort will likely save some areas and lessen impact in other areas. The top photo indicates school age children being taught lessons in life that they will teach to future generations. A strong work ethic of responsible grown ups not relying on government aid is seen.

The lower photo is of the Gulf Coast Oil Disaster. The men in green suits are paid employees of BP and depicts another form of sandbagging. The only people in the lower photo working are two women who are performing community service and clearly not being paid.

The top photo will have some success and the lower will produce nothing. Not good news for the Gulf Coast Wildlife.

When ever complex problem are reduced down to their core value comedy always emerges . The pundits and spin masters create mountains out of mole hills while bureaucrats add domestic regulations that impede solutions.

Both Lewis Black and Ron White are masters of this technique discovered by Jerry Seinfeld.

When you expose satire to the problem laughter always follows. Known by some as Dark Humor, but still very funny.

Ron White exposes the truth about how futile the war in Afghanistan has become as he directs his audience to how deep in debt America has become. Ron's solution to sell parts of Florida to the Israelis and buy Mexico with the profit solves three problems. The Debt, Criminal Immigration and Mid East tension of Israel. Brilliant by any standard and much better than anything our elected official have produced.

If American hadn't sent there economic engine overseas we would not be a One Trick Pony dependant on the Pharaoh's of Wall Street.

If Americas wealth were diversified in many industries Bin Laden may not have attacked on 9/11. Bin Laden saw our weakness and he exploited same.

Lewis Black's satire of American Children being taught to seek refuge under a desk in a nuclear blast is off the hook humor. Lewis then accuses the Pharaoh's of Wall Street of pure greed. Emphasizing what could they do with all that money "start a personal space program"

How we as a people could allow so much wealth to so few is far beyond common sense.

Ron Whites financial solution
