BP Go To Hell
BP has let the pressurized oil burst it's never ending steam of crude and toxic chemicals in to our oceans and on to the shores of the gulf coast for over 30 days without the capacity or tools in their big oil tool-kits to cap the well, according to the CEO of British Petroleum (BP). They do not want to cap the well, they want to save the well because if they cap it they can not get any of their money back from the whole oil disaster. How dare the men and women on capital hill allow companies like BP, with their record breaking profits that continue to rise each year higher than before and more than any other companies expect to see in several decades, to spend millions of dollars buying our senators and their very own congressman to push only things that are positive for big oil through legislature and strip away every bit of the regulations that would be good for the American people or for our country.
Nobody has the right to cause this much damage to our coastlines or to the home of our sea life. The coral wreaths alone this spill is going to kill should carry mandatory murder charges for its destruction. It takes 5000 years for the corals to form and they are used to save people's lives from cancer and make medicines for many important and groundbreaking treatments that we cannot get anywhere else. Nobody has the right to ignore the importance of such a fragile and significant environment. Our marine life have the right to exist as much as we do and without them we too will perish. Already there are parts of our oceans that contain dead zones and they are growing in number and size everyday. What gives any of us the right to threaten them with the unbelievably careless and greedy actions of corporations looking to make a buck. If the oil companies can not make a profit from drilling on land anymore then obviously it is time to move on and try to make our world function without the use of oil at all. The time has come to say goodbye to gas trains and automobiles. Our railways are ancient when compared to the creation of Japans High Speed Railways. For decades, the electric-powered trains put America's to shame by operating at speeds up to 300e km/h. We cannot ignore the need to eliminate the ugliness anymore.
BP we will never forgive you. You have become as crude as the oil that settles in our marshlands and as ugly as the clumps of your product that has washed up on our shores that squishes between our toes as we walk our beaches. Acknowledgment of the last truly beautiful and free land in America becoming massive tar pits dripping with black seaweed and carcases has turned our stomachs and filled us with anger and pain. The white sand on our beaches once symbiotic edges to the oceans breaking waves and the small marshes held enriched soil that allowed plants and life to grow within it and birds like the glorious pelican to spawn upon it. Now, you have robbed us of everything we love from swimming and surfing to fishing and boating that are our lifelines, our backgrounds, and, until now, our survival. Our shores are black and littered with dead birds and wildlife fighting to rid their feathers of the stench. Our fishermen, truly bread to live on the sea, now sit out of work and devastated as they watch the unbelievable ugliness spread across the bow of their boats and in the wakes behind them, the oil spreads as far as they can see in all directions. It doesn't even stop there as they bring home their splitting headaches and respitory illnesses from the ghastly chemicals they enhaled from even the smallest of chartered water. BP experiments with toxic disbursements that only make the spill 1000 times worse then it would be by leaving it alone. Oil that would normally float along the top of the water and wash away from our coastlines with simple water distillation now mixes with your additives and makes the oil sink as it becomes heavier then H2O. This makes the only clean up efforts that BP practices of placing oil catching boons along the shorelines completely ineffective and turns a terrible tragedy into a catastrophic disaster of astronomical proportions.
Then BP has the nerve to send their CEO out to the microphones to say they have let very little get away from them, and that everyone is doing their best to keep the oil off shores, and that none of it is their fault. How dare they and how dare the president, the white house staffers, the legislatures, the congressman and senators of our country allow the currency of big oil to become their drug of choice. They continue to mainline BP's crude oil and crude actions and actually have the nerve to act as if they are doing everything they can to solve the problem. No damn way do the American people believe that crap. I don't want to hear not a single one of them profess they have done or been anything but puppets to big oil and Wall Street bankers. Wall Street must be having a big BP celebration thoroughly enjoying the gulf spill as the flame the American people finally placed under their assets may have actually started to burn if not for the unfortunate accident of British Petroleum.
Residents can only wait, watch and prey they find another livelihood they can love as much as they did this one because there is no way they will ever see the devastating effects of this volcanic crude ever end during their lifetime or of that of their children. It is possible the decisions of people that call themselves leaders of this country are going to actually stay with us forever creating a brand new dead sea. And now the crude oil is promised to keep gushing until mid-August when the relief wells are finally finished. The only thing that is known to solve a busted geiser's wrath from spewing up the entire layer of oil beneath our sea floor, yet somehow all of our leaders and elected officials put in office to protect and fight for the American people's best interest, missed making this a requirement of offshore drilling contracts that could of included a clause that demanded they both be drilled at the same time in case of a catastrophic emergency, mechanical breakdown, f-ing explosion from drilling gas and oil off the oceans floor the depth of which could be half a planet away. Every single one of America's leaders helped cause this, all the pompous people in three piece suits that Americans trusted would prevent more man made disasters after the failings of Katrina, with your high paid salaries and expensive educations, at least some of you would have to be smart enough to know exactly what
crisis' were coming and you can all go to hell.

Ben Bernanke Re-Confirmed
What a ridiculous choice. We are never going to be able to bring anybody to justice in this country. The motivations to get things right have lapsed and we are now headed in a completely wrong direction that we will not be able to correct.
The American people should all be outraged. Where is the outrage? Are we really that callas to being wronged in this country that we no longer feel anger when necessary?

Camara Coverage Sucked for the WA State of the State Address
The camera coverage was so bad that you could barely see the soldiers as the dark colors they wore blended into the well dressed crowd of dark blue and black suits and ties.
The problem could have been minimal if the camera operator used the zoom lens to make the soldiers larger and keep out the unnecessary background. However, the picture continued with a wide angle lens and left viewers feeling lucky to catch a glimpse of the soldiers at all.
The operator of such an important event as the State of the State Address should have been chosen for their excellence in their field as well. To place someone as incompetent and inexperienced as the camera operator was that covered this event was clearly a bad judgement call of an irresponsible director.
I feel like I was robbed of a memorable moment.
