		<description>This is another example that the &quot;old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lidasatis.com&quot; title=&quot;lida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Lida&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.harikasohbet.com&quot; title=&quot;Sohbet, sohpet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sohbet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealsohbet.com&quot; title=&quot;sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sohbet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.canlarseslichat.com&quot; title=&quot;sesli chat, sesli sohbet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sesli chat&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idealgelinlik.com&quot; title=&quot;gelinlik modelleri&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gelinlik Modelleri&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh, and by the way, the hurricane was no where near the rigs off of Louisiana.
And, oh yeah, I do believe the oil tanker spill on the Mississippi River in New Orleans had something to do with his cancelling the trip that would be touting the &quot;safety&quot; of more drilling.  The river is closed to traffic now and may be for days or weeks.  
How&#039;s that for economic impact?</description>

		<description>While it&#039;s irrelevant to Johnny McSpin&#039;s flip-flopping through EVERY SINGLE appearance...

I have a lifelong passion for anything that flies, and, (without bragging) I could write a thesis on virtually every man made flying craft ever built, it&#039;s motive power, the people who built and flew it, and the rules and regulations regarding it&#039;s flight.

I can reassure you all that since the introduction of computer regulated engine controls, computer fuel management, and new fuel tank deseigns, dumping fuel has become increasingly rare. They no longer need to overfill for most oversea flights. It&#039;s pretty much an emergency procedure.

Ditto for military flights. Every time someone is forced to dump fuel they are forced to answer for it. It&#039;s considered embarrassing unless there&#039;s some legitimate safety concern. Obviously, they need to maintain larger margains when flying high performance military aircraft.

And I would also need independent confirmation that fuel dumped from airplanes has ever matched the incidental loss of CRUDE OIL from oil rigs. Jet fuel, of any &quot;brand&quot; including the boron boosted JP-7 &quot;zip fuel&quot; from the SR-71, is volatile. Most of CRUDE OIL is not. In short, refined fuel evaporates and CRUDE OIL lasts forever. The two can not be compared.

Back on topic:

I&#039;m not even opposed to drilling beyond what&#039;s planned in existing leased land. But I&#039;m tired of being lied to about the &quot;magic drilling plan&quot;. All that one needs to do is look at any oil company&#039;s web site under &quot;Futre Drilling Projects&quot; or something similar. Then ask yourself one question: 

If the oil companies intended to invest in infrastrcture like new wells, pipelines, oil rigs, tankers, refineries etc; wouldn&#039;t they have announced plans to build that infrastructure and increase utilization of existing leases?

I&#039;ll say it again, ANWR and other protected areas are not going to supply &quot;sweet&quot; crude. The oil companies won&#039;t go after our &quot;sour&quot; stuff until foreign &quot;sweet&quot; stuff is gone. If they had any other inention there would already be a well every fifty feet and a thousand brand new refineries. 

Get this through your head trolls/harpies (look &#039;em up if you missed the earlier reference). It doesn&#039;t matter what anl  politician signs away to the oil companies. If they had any intention of drilling extra wells they would be building infrastructure. They would not be hoarding cash while the getting is good. If you believe otherwise you&#039;re a bigger fool than your Reichwing masters take you for. It&#039;s just that effing simple.

P.S to the trolls/harpies.

Educate your miserable self!</description>

<p>Ditto for military flights. Every time someone is forced to dump fuel they are forced to answer for it. It&#8217;s considered embarrassing unless there&#8217;s some legitimate safety concern. Obviously, they need to maintain larger margains when flying high performance military aircraft.</p>
<p>And I would also need independent confirmation that fuel dumped from airplanes has ever matched the incidental loss of CRUDE OIL from oil rigs. Jet fuel, of any &#8220;brand&#8221; including the boron boosted JP-7 &#8220;zip fuel&#8221; from the SR-71, is volatile. Most of CRUDE OIL is not. In short, refined fuel evaporates and CRUDE OIL lasts forever. The two can not be compared.</p>
<p>Back on topic:</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not even opposed to drilling beyond what&#8217;s planned in existing leased land. But I&#8217;m tired of being lied to about the &#8220;magic drilling plan&#8221;. All that one needs to do is look at any oil company&#8217;s web site under &#8220;Futre Drilling Projects&#8221; or something similar. Then ask yourself one question: </p>
<p>If the oil companies intended to invest in infrastrcture like new wells, pipelines, oil rigs, tankers, refineries etc; wouldn&#8217;t they have announced plans to build that infrastructure and increase utilization of existing leases?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll say it again, ANWR and other protected areas are not going to supply &#8220;sweet&#8221; crude. The oil companies won&#8217;t go after our &#8220;sour&#8221; stuff until foreign &#8220;sweet&#8221; stuff is gone. If they had any other inention there would already be a well every fifty feet and a thousand brand new refineries. </p>
<p>Get this through your head trolls/harpies (look &#8216;em up if you missed the earlier reference). It doesn&#8217;t matter what anl  politician signs away to the oil companies. If they had any intention of drilling extra wells they would be building infrastructure. They would not be hoarding cash while the getting is good. If you believe otherwise you&#8217;re a bigger fool than your Reichwing masters take you for. It&#8217;s just that effing simple.</p>
<p>P.S to the trolls/harpies.</p>

		<description>45. J Wilke - I wouldn&#039;t blame it just on McCain.  

However, I note that the number of regulators in various fields has dramatically decreased in the last 7 years and tugs are much more willing to assume that they won&#039;t get caught.

Kind of like the high-profile food poisioning from tomatoes / jalapenos / spinach / etc. etc.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I’m beginning to see the pattern around here. TP passes off an opinion as fact, the usual suspects pile on with name-calling and cheerleading and no one talks about anything of substance.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;em&gt;I’m sure this was McCain’s fault somehow.&lt;/em&gt;

Substance?  Perhaps you could point to it in this post.</description>

We talk about substance when you&#039;re not here.  When a trolls around we prefer to express our opinion of him and then when he leaves we get back to business.  Of course we do have private communication where we talk about you and the issues behind your back, loser.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Jim Wilke Says:

The Coast Guard has determined that no one aboard the tugboat had the required master’s pilot license. One crewman had an apprentice mate’s license, but no one else was licensed. The Coast Guard has not released results of drug and alcohol tests on the captains of the tugboat and the tanker.

I’m sure this was McCain’s fault somehow.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well it does point out that all those safety measures the GOP swears are in place are a fallacy, doesn&#039;t it.</description>

		<description>McSame might get a bit of oil or mud on his tie. I didn&#039;t watch the corporate media tonight, so I doubt if any of the big 3 networks even mentioned the oil spill in the river. If anybody knows different please let us all know.

And whatever this irrelevant discussion on the media is, some of you are so new here, you don&#039;t know a fact from your posterior region.</description>

		<description>Come now Jim Wilke:
I offered you a reasoned discussion of idea of liberal bias. In the end you claimed to understand my point. I also offered you the chance to defend your idea that a bunch of pilots froze a national presidential campaign in its tracks. Seems there is plenty of opportunity for respectful discussion here. 

I gave you my ideas about that liberal education, labor, media, etc., so how about sharing yours?</description>
