BURAS, La. July 26, 2010 For 86 days, oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico from BP's damaged well, dumping some 200 million gallons of crude into sensitive ecosystems. BP and the federal government have amassed an army to clean the oil up, but there's one problem -- they're having trouble finding it. At its peak last month, the oil slick was the size of Kansas, but it has been rapidly shrinking, now down to the size of New Hampshire. Today, ABC News surveyed a marsh area and found none, and even on a flight out to the rig site Sunday with the Coast Guard, there was no oil to be seen. "That oil is somewhere. It didn't just disappear," said Plaquemines Parish ...

Harry Reid: “We will have a public option”. California: Green stimulus jobs go to goats… not workers. ObaMao’s message to American taxpayers… It’s all Bush’s fault. Unemployment is poised to go into double digits, with 14 to 18 million Americans either unemployed or underemployed. Small private businesses, with 100 or less employees, account for 96 percent of all employers in this country. Now they, faced with more than 250 new punitive regulations which the DeMarxist Congress sponsored, fostered and passed, not having read any of the more than 2,300 pages of absolute bureaucratic bullbleep, are not going to hire under the threat of financial ruin. ...

Al Gore interviewed by Portland detectives PORTLAND, Ore. -- Detectives interviewed former U.S. Vice President Al Gore this past week in San Francisco, a law enforcement source has confirmed to KATU News. Portland police detectives interviewed Gore on Thursday, questioning him further about allegations that he sexually abused a licensed a massage therapist. Investigators had filed a special report in January 2007, recording the massage therapist's claims that Gore grabbed and groped her when she gave him a massage at a Portland hotel in October 2006. The woman went public in a June 23 National Enquirer story and held up "soiled" pants for a June 30 Enquirer cover. On ...

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, "Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation." Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party. Frank's spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that his partner, James Ready, asked the ...

Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, lagging in polls in the Republican gubernatorial primary race, according to Talking Points Memo, says he's not sure if Constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion apply to Islam, since, he says, Islam may be a cult, not actually a religion: "Now, you could even argue whether being a Muslim is actually a religion, or is it a nationality, way of life, cult whatever you want to call it." Ramsey did not dispute the video of his remarks posted at TPM and answered its request for comment with an email: "My concern is that far too much of Islam has come to resemble a violent political philosophy more than peace-loving religion. It's time ...
Obama's Economic Policies Continue to Sink Consumer Confidence

Uncertainty about the economy continued to shake consumer confidence in July, pushing a key measure of morale to the lowest level since February. The Conference Board, a New York-based research group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index dropped for a second straight month, to 50.4 in July from June's upwardly revised level of 54.3. July's reading was lower than expected. Economists had forecast the index to have ticked down to 51 in July from 52.9 in June, according to a consensus estimate from Briefing.com. "Consumer confidence faded further in July as consumers continue to grow increasingly more pessimistic about the short-term outlook," Lynn Franco, ...

Now that the congressional supporters of the Tea Party movement have formed their own caucus, their policy positions are becoming easier to track. Expanding their foray into foreign policy, 21 members of the new caucus have now come out explicitly endorsing Israel's right to strike Iran's nuclear program. Almost two dozen Tea Party-affiliated lawmakers cosponsored a new resolution late last week that expresses their support for Israel "to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force." The lead sponsor of the resolution was Texas Republican Louie Gohmert, one of four ...

Pentagon Can’t Account For $8.7 Billion In Iraqi Funds

The U.S. Defense Department is unable to properly account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in Iraqi oil money tapped by the U.S. for rebuilding the war ravaged nation, according to an audit released Tuesday. The report by the U.S. Special Investigator for Iraq Reconstruction offers a compelling look at continued laxness in how such funds are being spent in a country where people complain basic services like electricity and clean water are sharply lacking seven years after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. The audit found that shoddy record keeping by the Defense Department left the Pentagon unable to fully account for $8.7 billion it withdrew between 2004 and 2007 from ...

Despite calls for Elton John to join the Sound Strike, an artist boycott of Arizona over the racial profiling that will be encouraged by SB 1070, the musician went ahead and held his scheduled concert in the controversial state. Not only that, he had a message for those other artists taking a principled stand against a racist law: “We are all very pleased to be playing in Arizona. I have read that some of the artists won't come here. They are fuckwits! Let's face it: I still play in California, and as a gay man I have no legal rights whatsoever. So what's the fuck up with these people?” Yes, California disappointed queer rights activists when it withdrew same-sex ...

Well, not his exact words, but certainly the clear meaning of what he said. When Wallace interrupted Dean to point out that Fox did not air the excerpted Sherrod footage until after the Obama administration had fired her based on it , Dean shot back “It was about to go on Glenn Beck, which is what the administration was afraid of.” We'll set aside the question of whether or not Glenn Beck was or was not going to air that piece -- quite frankly, it is irrelevant whether or not he was. The key point is that Howard Dean, Chairman of the DNC, has made it clear that Barack Obama isn't man enough to stand up and take it like a man when criticized by a television and radio ...

The Obamas Prove They Aren’t Far Removed From What Most Americans are Going Through The president’s family is feeling a hit like most Americans these days: He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone “up and down” with the stock market. Obama says the first couple is “not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.” Not far removed, but far enough so that the First Lady can reserve 30 rooms at a five-star hotel in Spain next month: Michelle Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, ...

The U.S. economy is in shambles and Americans will continue to see high unemployment and lower living standards in the years to come, Howard Davidowitz tells Henry and Aaron in the accompanying clip. Davidowitz lays much of the blame for the economy's woes at the feet of the Obama administration, which he calls "the worst of my lifetime." Obama "Mr. Mass Destruction" Davidowitz says that the key to Obama's success is his ability to sell his policies to the public. He can confidently read from a teleprompter and appear competent and in control, when in reality, "it's one big bag of empty words," Davidowitz says of Obama's messages. Davidowitz ...

This is what failure looks like. Thought the housing crisis was over? Not quite. Despite four years of falling prices and recent signs that they were finally bottoming out, homes are expected to lose still more value in many metro areas over the next year. Parts of the country already pummeled by the housing crisis, like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Miami, will be hit hardest. But even some places that have rebounded or held up relatively well — including New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. — will suffer, too. That’s the conclusion of economists who have been reducing their estimates for home prices as the outlook for the economic recovery has darkened. The number of ...

Drill beneath the surface of the BP story, and disturbing truths are revealed. Years before the BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama Administration was on notice of widespread corruption among regulators who oversaw oil-rig safety. President Barack Obama and Interior Secretary Salazar knew that they lacked necessary proof of rig safety when the president announced in March his intention to open coastal waters to new drilling. Blame for the BP disaster appropriately falls on BP and the Obama Administration equally.

WASHINGTON – With the strong backing of President Obama, Sen. Ron Wyden pressed Monday to find Republicans to support campaign reform legislation requiring corporate CEOs, labor leaders and directors of special interests to appear in – and take credit for – any political ad they finance. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill Tuesday. The push came as the Senate was poised to vote Tuesday to break a Republican filibuster on the Disclose Act, which is designed to give voters a clear understanding of who is financing third-party campaign commercials. The bill would also prohibit foreign corporations from sponsoring political ads in the United States. Click for Full ...

US Lays Out ‘Static Kill’ Timeline, Vows To Have Gulf Well Sealed By Mid-August

US officials laid out Monday a detailed timeline of how BP plans to permanently plug the Gulf of Mexico oil well, saying the all-important "static kill" would begin in one week's time. By Saturday or Sunday at the latest, a final 2,000 feet (600 meters) of casing will be inserted into the bottom of the relief well to strengthen it so it can withstand the long-awaited "static kill" intact. Some 12 hours after the cement has set, engineers will begin the crucial operation to pump mud and cement down through the cap on the damaged well, which finally cut off the flow of crude earlier this month. "That's an attempt to fill the inside of the well from the top ...

New Home Sales: They Sucked You know, I have to love the mainstream media. July 26 (Bloomberg) -- Sales of U.S. new homes rose in June more than forecast following an unprecedented collapse the prior month, a signal the worst of the slump triggered by the end of a government tax credit is over. Yeah, ok. Whatever. Note that June is the start of the "summer selling season" for houses, in that kids are out of school and, when possible, families prefer not to disrupt educations. They therefore try to move in the summer. Why is this important? Because this is the weakest new home sales number ever recorded (records began in 1963) for June. Remember as well that new home sales ...

Some of them will comment on the websites of those who advocate for the latter 3, saying that they are going to rape them. Fun people. Well today I ventured into their internet land and found two sentences I just had to share. A few of the Paulbots were discussing Insight's Ryan Alessi and his Magic Illuminati Manila Folder that is bent on destroying Rand Paul and Liberty itself. Then one came to ...
