BP plans to burn some oil pumping up to surface

NEW ORLEANS – Now that crews are collecting more and more oil from the sea-bottom spill, the question is where to put it.

How about burning it?

"James Cameron has volunteered to go down to the Gulf of Mexico and consult. I love it when a guy who's an expert in fake disasters gets involved. And if that doesn't work, they're going to contact Superman and he's going to weld the pipe with his X-ray vision." –David Letterman

Lisa,

What is your take on their ongoing conflict and what Helen Thomas said and her job loss resulting from her comments?

Arnold

 

I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is proof positive that an eye for an eye does not work.

They need a Renaissance.

 

Heaven forbid that 89 year old journalist Helen Thomas would have an opinion. With that said, let the same happen to the entire Fox News staff whenever they express an opinion.

In the end, the hype took birther attorney Orly Taitz to a decisive 49-point defeat in the race for the GOP nomination for California secretary of state. Mainstream Republican candidate Damon Dunn, who got into that race earlier and raised seven times as much money, carried every county and won more than 1 million votes; Taitz will end up with around 370,000 votes.

Fox Reporter Jailed

 

A local Fox television reporter who's been blogging regularly on the Gulf oil spill made a bit of his own news yesterday.

George Franco, a reporter with Fox affiliate WAGA-TV in Atlanta, was charged with battery following an alleged altercation with a BP clean-up worker...says the Sheriff's spokeswoman, "Franco argued with the contractor, shoved the contractor and started grabbing him." The scuffle didn't end there. After Mitchell asked Franco to leave a few more times, the 52-year-old reporter "grabbed Mitchell's arm spinning him around,"

Thank You Note

 

 

Dear Archie, Thank you so much for taking the time to mail me Dan Brown's latest book, The Lost Symbol.  I loved it. I love art history, especially the architecture of the High Renaissance. The art of the Masons really does have a timeless feel. Brown's descriptions of the "Masonry" throughout the US Capitol was not only a brilliant visual but quite accurate. I would love to see the sunrise light hit the caplet of the Washington monument.

 

Maybe the enlightenment of man isn't that far off?

 

"It can happen." ~ Rosanna Rosanna Dana

 

Many Thanks Archie, Lisa
