But this is a company valued at 10’s of billions of dollars. Why would a measley $500,000 be too much to prevent an environmental catastrophe? Several other factors come into play here. 1. Stodgy management. We don’t need no fancy remotely operated blowout preventer. Our people know how to deal with these things and our equipment is the best. 2. National pride. Despite the fact that you have a foreign owned oil company and a foreign owned drill rig, Halliburton is an American owned company. We do things better than foreigners. 3. Skill, experience and training. Why should we pay experienced workers when all we need to do this is warm bodies? » Posted By dildenusa On May 7, 2010 @ 5:00 pm Despite Ariana Huffington’s media mongering, she does attract some thoughtful people with insight to counter the extreme views of the overindulged infantile tea bag party. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/janine-r-wedel/emshadow-eliteem-neocons_b_565654.html http://policy.gmu.edu/tabid/86/default.aspx?uid=88 » Posted By dildenusa On May 6, 2010 @ 9:02 am Don’t you just love this hat? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/06/republican-voter-enthusia_n_565793.html Now would you ever see a Boston Blue Blood, Daughter of the American Revolution wearing a hat like that while sipping tea?

Then I saw this on MSNBC. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36877160/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/ Facebook is increasingly being equated with “Skynet” the computer system of Terminator movie fame.

That’s why pundits and prognosicators and stupid polls have gained so much traction over the years. Now, idiot Boehner thinks the center is composed of teeny weeny brained iced tea drinkers. He needs to think again. On the left, Pelosi and Schumer think the center is composed of suburban mommys hauling the kids around in a bullet proof SUV while these same suburban mommys disparage and denigrate law abiding citizens who like to keep in touch with the million year old human heritage of hunting and fishing. Pelosi and Schumer need to think again. The leadershit of both main parties need to rethink when it comes to taking money from mega multinational corporations. The teeny weeny brained iced tea drinkers need to rethink when it comes to issues like social security and “too big to fail.” If they didn’t like TARP, they are going to love it if the republicans take control of congress in November. The trolls on the left need to rethink if they don’t like the 2nd Amendment. When it comes to locking up the bad guys, throwing away the key doesn’t work. 3 strikes and you’re out is a failure foisted on everyone by none other than police and prison guard unions. Teeny weeny brained ice tea drinkers and suburban mommys in bulletproof SUV’s think it’s great. Most people in the center know it’s a failure. » Posted By dildenusa On September 3, 2010 @ 2:02 pm I see you forgot my friend Ralph Nader.

I should have said “risked having their property confiscated by the high priest.” It’s in the Talmud. Hey, life was on the edge back then. Why is it still on the edge today? Because the trolls on the left and the trolls on the right say it is so. I’m the troll in the center. What are you going to tell me? There are no trolls on the left. Sorry Charlie. That’s wishful thinking. » Posted By dildenusa On September 3, 2010 @ 1:19 pm Sorry, I’m not familiar with confession. I’m only familiar with the Hebrew Bible. The ancient Hebrews didn’t need any confession. In the Hebrew Bible eating “boilt shrimp” or “eat em raw” was verboten. Anyone caught eating unkosher food risked stoning or had their property confiscated by the high priest and exiled into the desert with only the clothes on their back. » Posted By dildenusa On September 3, 2010 @ 11:27 am What kind of ridiculous nonsense are you writing here. Haven’t you ever read Ecclesiastes. David Crosby and Roger McGuinn read it. Ecc. Chap. 1:2 Chap. 3:1 Chap. 10:1-2 » Posted By dildenusa On September 3, 2010 @ 9:53 am Some of Us on the Left Are Being Royally Ratf*cked And who are you enabling? Nobady of course. Not even the far left wing nuts for which you claim to advocate. Obama promised reform of the health care delivery and provider system. What did we get? Mostly cosmetic changes. A few real reforms but an even bigger mega lobby of big pharma and big insurance. Doctors and patients got screwed while the sophists (Obama included) talked a good game. You have to walk the walk. Obama just talked the talk. Then he wouldn’t get a backbone when congress failed. That became his failure. By speaking from the center of the political spectrum I make a difference. » Posted By dildenusa On August 31, 2010 @ 11:35 am GN, what took you so long to get back to me with your ridiculous nonsense? Correct me if I’m wrong but there is already a single payer health care system in this country. It’s called Medicare. The fAILURE of Obama to extend medicare coverage to any age group with a supermajority in the senate shows his nature as a typical politician. » Posted By dildenusa On August 31, 2010 @ 10:19 am Excuse me GN, your comment doesn’t seem to be written by an adult. This comment doesn » Posted By dildenusa On August 30, 2010 @ 5:20 pm Race does have a lot to do with the tea bag partiers. The media, whether right or left leaning has given Palin and the tea bag partiers more credit than is their due. Was it race that put President Obama in office? No. It was that people were fed up with Bush and the republicans. Most half-normal Americans are still fed up with the republicans. You don’t have to worry about normal Americans, there aren’t any. Americans are either half-normal or psychotic. The trick will be to energize the center and center-left to vote in the midterm elections. In the long term the only way to deal with the tea bag partiers will be to co opt them. Obama is listening to the wrong people for advice. His advisers are doing a go slow approach to avoid being tarnished with the “socialist” label. Duuuhhhh. Obama will be called a socialist no matter what he does. So why not do what’s correct? The problem here is self serving advisers and politicians in his own party undermining Obama. What ever the so called left wing media is doing is harmful but not as harmful as listening to bad advice from self serving people. » Posted By dildenusa On August 29, 2010 @ 6:41 pm In all of this nit picking and teeth gnashing of President Obama’s failures (single payer HCR, watered down financial regulation, tepid fiscal stimulus) has it ever occured to anyone that his advisors might be the problem. The same thing happened to Bush. He was pushed into a unnecessary war in Iraq by self serving advisors. Obama seems to be at a loss on how to deal with the tea bag partiers. You just co opt them with the coffee filter partiers. His advisors downplay the effects of the tea bag partiers at theirs and the nations peril. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/29/opinion/29rich.html?_r=1&hp » Posted By dildenusa On August 29, 2010 @ 11:10 am I went on a cruise? » Posted By dildenusa On August 28, 2010 @ 1:45 pm I would like to do a documentary on the lives of these hypocritical Purist Dems and examine the decisions they make in their own lives, exposing them for the compromises they » Posted By dildenusa On August 28, 2010 @ 12:07 pm It sure is. » Posted By dildenusa On August 27, 2010 @ 6:55 pm I just logged in to my Huff post account just to see if was still active and it was, but I did not post any comments. Huff Post does have value as a news gatherer and that is sort of what the drudge report does. Arianna has taken the news gathering idea to the next level.

For someone who talked up empathy during the campaign he sure seems to have a case of cognitive disonance.

Could someone please tell me why we seem to be moving toward a new civil war based on religious belief. This is so sick. I wonder if the demogogues on the right will try to dance around this or will actually condemn these people for what they are. Just common terrorists.
Meaningless! Meaningless! Says the teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
What do you do? You think with your 10 cent words like sophistry you push peoples buttons. My buttons don’t work anymore other than to push back.
