Time Out for OT – Vol 9

Bito, I know, having that oil go down the pipeline to the refinery and then on to the combustible engine of a car is the ultimate ‘dispersant’.

Who was that woman they just dragged out of the room?
I could not hear her very well, could you?
I don’t have to be a mind reader to know that will be all over the news…

Bito,
I wonder if Tony Hayward is being given antidepressants ?
He tends to act a little out of it.

Has anyone heard of this one?
BP Damage Control Leaks Online in Unsuspecting Ways

Oil company bought ‘oil’ phrases on Google, Yahoo redirecting users to website.
Be careful where you click, especially if you’re looking for news on the BP oil spill.

BP, the very company responsible for the oil spill that is already the worst in U.S. history, has purchased several phrases on search engines such as Google and Yahoo so that the first result that shows up directs information seekers to the company’s official website.

A simple Google search of “oil spill” turns up several thousand news results, but the first link, highlighted at the very top of the page, is from BP. “Learn more about how BP is helping,” the link’s tagline reads.

A spokesman for the company confirmed to ABC News that it had, in fact, bought these search terms to make information on the spill more accessible to the public.

“We have bought search terms on search engines like Google to make it easier for people to find out more about our efforts in the Gulf and make it easier for people to find key links to information on filing claims, reporting oil on the beach and signing up to volunteer,” BP spokesman Toby Odone told ABC News.

But several search engine marketing experts are questioning BP’s intentions, suggesting that controlling what the public finds when they look online for oil spill information is just another way for the company to try and rebuild the company’s suffering public image.

According to Kevin Ryan, the CEO of California-based Motivity Marketing, research shows that most people can’t tell the difference between a paid result pages, like the ones BP have, and actual news pages.

“If you look at it from BP’s perspective it’s a brilliant move,” Ryan said. “The other option BP had was to just not do this and let the news interpret what’s going on.

“But they’re getting so much bad press that directing traffic to their own site is a great PR strategy,” he said

David Vitter?? What a joke!

What happens when you’re a small government, pro-business conservative and your state gets pummeled by one of the worst man made disasters ever

Time Out for OT – Vol 8

I do kinda remember that Javez.
I remember the Sams dog food and dog treats.
I wonder if we could create a big, I mean really big, label on stuff.
Made in the USA
or
Made in China
or where ever
One unified label right on the front of stuff that sticks out like a searchlight.
Of course have both items next to each other.
Make stores carry both.
Would they go for the USA stuff?
Will people be good patriots then?
Put their money where their mouth is?
Would that help?

This is a great question….
Why is Rand Paul a Bigger Story then Financial Reform?

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/05/why-is-rand-paul-a-bigger-story-than-financial-reform/57240/

On Friday, May 21, I checked the memeorandum.com politics website–it’s one of the best politics aggregator sites on the web–to find the important news. The dominant story involved Kentucky GOP Senate candidate Rand Paul’s comments about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the president’s remarks about British Petroleum.

Receiving less than half of the attention devoted to Rand Paul was Senate passage of a sweeping financial regulation bill.

Now, ask yourself this question: Which event is more likely to make a large difference in your life–federal financial reform or Rand Paul’s opinions?

We are moving closer and closer to lower expectations.

More news…

Dems Overcome GOP Filibuster With 60-40 Vote To Advance Financial Reform
Ben Frumin | May 20, 2010, 2:53PM

When at first you don’t succeed…

After failing yesterday to get the 60 votes they needed to bring debate on a historic financial reform bill to a close, Senate Democrats succeeded in this afternoon’s cloture vote.

The final vote today was 60-40 (yesterday it was 57-42). Next up is a final vote on passage, which is expected to take place within days.

After today’s vote, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said there are “a couple of amendments that are germane post-cloture, but there the ones that we have to figure out a way to get resolved.”

“We’re going to try to work through this,” Reid said, adding that there may be more votes this afternoon.
