OT: Obama is dumber than a box of rocks

[Allan from Fallbrook]

Rus: Nope, I don’t “celebrate” the failure of revolutionaries in general. I do, however, have a problem with revolutionaries that aren’t true to their ideals, and that would include Castro, Che and now Chavez.

Castro, in his own way, is more repressive than Fulgencio Batista. Che was a murdering Stalinist. Chavez, now that his rhetoric has been exposed and his plans foiled, has turned into just another tinpot dictator.

Yes, I am aware of the knock on Vargas Llosa, but it doesn’t diminish the correctness of his criticism of Marquez one iota.

Lenin came to power in Russia by promising free elections following the revolution. Lo and behold, it never happened. Instead, you have Lenin followed by the likes of Lavrenti Beria, Josef Stalin and, ultimately, Vladimir Putin.

Orwell’s experiences during the Spanish Civil War illustrate one point clearly: It is rarely about the “ideals” and more generally about the “power”.

I don’t like Franco, nor does my condemnation of his opponents impute support for him.

I spent three years in places where the choices weren’t between right and wrong, but bad and worse. All due respect to your time in the Navy, but my time in the Army was very different, and the “education” I received has stayed with me to this day. Call me all the names you want, just don’t call me Polyanna.

Yea $4 is not near enough for Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. His goal is $12 gallon gas. The $800 billion we send to his friends in the middle east is just not enough.

Dare I venture back to the OP of this thread.

There’s no silver bullet… More drilling offshore won’t solve the problem entirely, neither will tire pressure… But don’t be so quick to discount tire pressure.

I went to our government websites…

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/maintain.shtml

Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.

Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.

and
You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.

Yes- it’s an Obama conspiracy – he and his liberal cohorts must have taken over the websites of the transportation department… snark.

We already have offshore oil drilling – in the gulf and off of Long Beach and Santa Barbara. The last time I walked on the beach in Santa Barbara I got nasty black tar on my feet. I challenge anyone to say that offshore oil drilling results in no impact… But 1/4 of US production is currently coming from offshore – we’re already dealing with the impact.

And there have been some whoppers about how Katrina resulted in no spills… Again, from a government website.

http://www.mms.gov/SettingtheRecordStraight/EstimatedOil%20SpillsAsaResultofHurricanesKatrinaandRita.htm

As of January 25, 2007, MMS identified 125 spills of petroleum products totaling 16,302 barrels that were lost from platforms, rigs, and pipelines on the Federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) as a result of damages from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005

As always – nothing is free. Drilling offshore has it’s downsides.
Before we issue leases to drill offshore, we should require that oil companies drill with the leases they currently hold to drill on public lands. There are currently 9300 outstanding/unused leases to drill on public lands. These have already been studied for environmental impact, etc. McCain voted against and amendment that would require this.

I’ll call you a humanist.LOL.

Right about my military time but what is in my grey matter didn’t get installed that way and I didn’t want it to be, by any branch or wing.

What I am getting at it that revolutionaries are important parts of a cycle in which failure eventually strikes all players. Some people don’t see it. The poor usually do.LLosa is a traitor because he didn’t stick to his ideals too.

I am still gonna let you ride my tractor when you come to Jamul for the redneck parade.

UCGal,
That black tar on the beach in Santa Barbara is naturally occurring. This is a pretty well known fact. I am surprised you didn’t ask any locals.
Did you read your second website? You really pulled that quote out of context. Here is another quote from the same site;
“According to a report on “Oil in the Sea” from the National Academy of Sciences (1995), far more oil enters the ocean from natural, underwater seeps than from offshore production platforms. In fact, the seeps introduce about 1700 barrels of oil a day into U.S. marine waters, which is about 150 times the amount from oil and gas activities.”
