They must not need those jobs that badly.  That would NEVER be an option for me, or the people that I work with.

Via Business Insider:

Want some idea of how a nuke can plug a well?  A reader sent us this video of how the USSR plugged a gas well that was burning and leaking out of control.  When it finally comes to this (maybe sometime in September?) we look forward to the disclaimer on the BP announcement: this has never been tried at a depth of 5,000 feet below sea level.

Well, he’s on vacay because he works so darned hard at being the coolest POTUS evah!  Urgent news, 10 killed Gaza Aid…will he get up off his ass and do something besides take a photo op?

Israel’s prime minister has called off a planned visit to the White House to deal with a crisis over a botched naval raid that killed 10 pro-Palestinian activists.

Netanyahu, who is in Canada, was set to travel to Washington to meet with President Barack Obama on Tuesday. But his office says he decided to return home early after Monday’s commando raid.

The commandos intercepted a flotilla of activists trying to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. The deadly crackdown has drawn widespread international condemnations.

VIDEO HERE.  When is Ayer’s circus clown company going to stop causing trouble?

The Won said it.  Did he not understand that WE would be the ones to grade him?

So we have seen Four Crises as handled by The Won in the last 6 months: The Fort Hood Massacre, Christmas Day Bomber, the Times Square Bomber, and the BP Oil Spill.

The president has underestimated the problem each time out.

via Obama inaction.   I did not forget Memorial Day.  I do feel as Ted Nugent does, everyday should be remembered as Memorial Day.

Can anyone say conflict interest?   Ironman makes it easy to connect the dots.  Louisiana, you lose.

One of the top media consultants for British Petroleum gave free rent to a politician who became White House Chief of Staff.

No, the recipient of the favor was Rahm Emanuel and the benefactor was Stanley Greenberg.

Stanley Greenberg is an interesting guy. He is married to CT Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Grrenberg is the principal of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a large polling and public relations firm. They do both political campaign work and “corporate communications” work.

The DCCC has paid Greenberg’s firm in excess of $500,000 during the 2006 and 2008 election cycles.  They are also Dick Blumenthal’s pollster.

But let’s look at the corporate side, where Mr. Greenberg promises to  ”help corporations increase competitiveness and profitability, improve reputation, and take advantage of global trends.”

Who are they helping?  British Petroleum

Greenberg Quinlan Rosner helped BP plan and evaluate its successful re-branding campaign, focusing the company’s branding on energy solutions, including the development of solar and other renewable energy sources.

Let’s see what the honest Left thinks about Stan Greenberg’s work on behalf of the worst corporate polluter in American history.  He’s been accused of being one of the top “greenwashers” out there.  BP is charged with spending over $200 million on efforts to assert alleged environmental consciousness. (Meantime they cut corners to save money on the Deepwater Horizon) It’s been called “greenwashing of epic proportions” Obviously, BP would rather spend money on high priced DC PR consultants than on boring stuff like oil drilling safety.

And Stan Greenberg was the mastermind for BP’s faux concern.

So when Nancy Pelosi starts pointing fingers about the oil disaster,   maybe she can look a little closer to home. Like to her loyal ally Rosa DeLauro and her husband, who profited immensely peddling the fiction BP cared about the environment.

via BP’s strange Democrat bedfellows.  So much corruption, what’s next for the unprepared POTUS?  Let’s not forget DeLauro’s ties to Monsanto either.

A photo diary for you to peruse.  I encourage you to take a mild sedative before viewing.  If you have high blood pressure, you have been warned.  While Rome burns, Barracus plays.

  Pesky Sestak questions still rule the day.  Word is that former POTUS, Bill Clinton made the offer on behalf of the White House.  But on who’s authority?  And why was Sestak’s brother contacted by the White House?  Alright then, every player now has the correct version of what happened.  The Fix.
