OT: FOX News and the oil blowout

[CBad]

Ok, I did my 2nd and final (for lack of really caring) random Fox check and the oil spill (‘Worst Oil Spill Ever’) is next to the top picture story (‘Obama’s Terror Guy Says Jihad’s Legit’). Just for comparison I went to MSN and saw that American Idol, Economy Cars, Sex & the City, & a missing hiker are their top stories (though the oil spill is down in the real news section). So, not really feeling the OP’s point on this one.

Yeah, those pesky facts are annoying, aren’t they? As to what I do; its frankly none of your business, but suffice it to say I’m eminently more qualified to comment on this than Brian is. You’ve been here, what, five months? Get a little more “seasoning” and then we’ll talk.

How can anyone that drives a car criticize efforts to find more oil? Hilarious.[/quote]

Quit driving or shut your yap, jack.[/quote]

Driving a car has nothing to do with criticizing irresponsible drilling.

I drive out of necessity because of the way urban planning requires us all to drive. If public transport were better, I would drive much less.

Did I ever complain about high gas price? No.

Oil not extracted now, is oil available for future extraction later when the resources are scarcer and more precious, and the technology is improved.

I’m an avid surfer, so I guess the ocean is more sacred to me than most. This spill and the length of time to remedy the problem makes me sick.[/quote]

Well, well, well…. We got one of them environment loving nature nuts. Welcome to the financialized, monetized and commodified world, everything has a price tag. Nothing is sacred. Life is cheap, you can buy a girl slave in Haiti for twelve bucks, or 50 child slaves for your Asian sweatshop for less than the cost of a new car. Now, americans slaves in the global gulag are running a little high these days, but that problem should be rectified soon.

But getting wind about problems on an oil rig:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-borowitz/goldman-sachs-reveals-it_b_558774.html

In what is looming as another public relations predicament for Goldman Sachs, the banking giant admitted today that it made “a substantial financial bet against the Gulf of Mexico” one day before the sinking of an oil rig in that body of water.

The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice “Fabulous Fab” Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a “big short” position on the Gulf.

“One oil rig goes down and we’re going to be rolling in dough,” Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. “Suck it, fishies and birdies!”

Well, that’s just fucking priceless.. And as WFB says, love it or leave it
