A leak and corrosion in a pipeline has forced BP to shut down it’s Prudhoe Bay oil field, forcing oil prices to surge today.
A leak in an oil pipeline? In Alaska? Why, that could never happen should we drill in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), because… well… the oil industry and the Bush administration would never do anything that might endanger such a fragile ecosystem. Um… right?
Goldy:
You have to understand, the Oil Pipeline is a series of tubes. Sen. Stevens staff just sent him a pipeline the other day, and it didn’t leak, so we don’t have to worry about damaging some of the most fragile wilderness left on this planet.
Dang, some Republican is hitting the boards with spam again. I hope it gets deleted soon.
As for the oil pipeline, before we have too much fun with BP’s “maintenance program, please remember the following:
BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL:
“The new tapes — routinely recorded by Enron to protect their own deals and later obtained by this small utility in Washington state (Snohomish County PUD No. 1) — confirm what CBS News has been reporting for four years: That Enron secretly shut power plants down so they could cause, and then cash in on, the crisis.
“Ah, we want you guys to get a little creative…” one voice says on the tape.
“OK,” a plant operator replies.
“…and come up with a reason to go down,” the first man finishes his sentence.
Plant operators were coached on how to lie to officials.
“Just call ’em, Hey guys…we’re coming down,” one Enron trader says. The plant operator replies, “OK, so we’re just comin’ down for some maintenance, like a forced outage type thing?”
“Right,” the trader says.
“And that’s cool?” the plant operator asks.
“Hopefully,” the trader responds, to which the men are heard laughing.
Enron also pulled power out of states like California, causing emergency conditions to worsen.
“Sorry California,” an Enron trader says. “I’m bringing all our power out of state today. I moved out six — over six hundred megawatts.”
The “shut downs” and “pull outs” triggered sky high power prices.
“We’re just making money hand over fist!” one voice is heard saying on the tape.
And when states complained, the guys at Enron seemed to have a response.
“Get a f****** clue,” one says. “Yeah,” another chimes in. “Leave us alone. Let us make a little bit of money.”
“Exactly,” says another trader.
END QUOTED MATERIAL
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories.....1618.shtml
It’s also posted on a lot of other sites, but this one was towards the top of my Google search.
Remember that while Enron was manipulating the electric market, the Republicans were all lecturing the Democrats about how it was all “market forces” which we were too dumb to understand, and how Democratic objections to new nuclear power plants, coal mining, etc. were the real cause of the energy crisis in California, and the whole problem would go away if we just deregulated the entire industry and left it all to “market forces”.
Is all of this spam coming from a single IP address?
Hey, Goldy…whoever’s posting that nonsense spam is including links to gambling sites.
Isn’t merely disseminating information about Internet gambling now a felony here in Washington? Maybe you ought to look through your server logs and pass what you find over to the gendarmes.
Ted Stevens should be required to go up to Prudhoe Bay and help clean up the spilled oil with his tongue.
Damn, is JCH getting drunk and posting spam again before he goes out and cruises for sailors?

YUMA, Ariz.-A sport utility vehicle crammed with suspected illegal immigrants rolled over in an attempt to outrun Border Patrol agents, killing nine people and injuring at least 12 others, officials said. Five of the injured were in critical condition, Sheriff’s Maj. Leon Wilmot said. The large SUV was carrying up to 22 people when the driver had tried to circumvent a checkpoint on the highway, Border Patrol spokesman Lloyd Frers said. [……………………………………………………..The question is whether the dead illegals and the others will still be able to vote Democrat in the NOV 06 election. In addition, the taxpayers had better provide top quality medical care to ALL CONCERNED for free, or Goldstein, Stein, Loeb, and Goodmanstein will be sueing all concerned for millions!!! ]
While the oil companies are making record profits, big bucks, lots of lute, the consumer is getting screwed cause we have to pay more for gas. Why??? Shouldn’t some of those record profits foot the bill.
U2 and its lead singer Bono have been pushing the U.S. and EU countries to fork over more money for Third World nations to relieve debt and fight AIDS.
But when it comes to paying their fair share of taxes to help those efforts, U2 wants a free ride.
That’s the word from Ireland, where the group has been based since it was founded in the early 1980s.
The Irish Examiner reports that U2 and Bono are furious that Ireland is doing away with its law exempting artists and authors from taxation.
Under the Irish government’s last budget, artists and authors can get up to 250,000 euros ($325,000) in income tax free, but after that they pay like everyone else.
Most taxpayers would be joyous they could get the exemption Ireland provides.
Story Continues Below
But U2 rakes in tens of millions globally, and the new schedule doesn’t sit well with the millionaire singer and his band members.
The Examiner reports that beginning in June of this year the group began moving parts of their business to Netherlands. The paper said now U2 pays “virtually no tax on royalties” in Holland. [………………………………………………Kind of reminds you of the Kerrys and Kennedys pushing for more and higher taxes, but then Mrs. Heinz Kerry paying taxes at 12%, and the Kennedys using sophisticated trusts to escape the Estate Taxes that they push on everyone else. Also, remember Al Gore pushing higher taxes, but gave only $350 in charitable contributions on income of several hundred grand. “All animals are equal, but Democrat dumb ass liberals are just a little more equal than everyone else”.] hehe, JCH]

Maybe it’s just the difference between an East Coast liberal and a West Coast liberal. I guess Democrats are a little more pragmatic where I come from (NYC) since they seem to vote for people who actually work for them and not people who just protest on their behalf and get nothing done. I feel like the Liberals in Seattle are sort of like the Red Necks of the Red States. They kinda just don’t get it. Anyway, keep the bullshit going……..wonderful comedy stress relief.

Exclusive.
Was the Jew killer a conservative or liberal. In the Seattle Times we have the following quote:
Haq’s friend said he couldn’t believe the timid, “geeky” man he knew from the tutoring center was capable of such violence.
“Are you sure we’re talking about the same person?” he said Sunday………….
He said Haq was not a devout Muslim and often complained that the Tri-Cities were too politically conservative.
“I’m beginning to think I was his only friend in the Tri-Cities. I don’t recall him hanging out with anybody else.”
Now for the other side we turn to Goldy’s story from last week:
Psssssssssstttttttt…….
Ah it looks like the story was all a bunch of hot air. Well there you have it. Enjoy all you Nazi Libs.
Actually,it is getting harder and harder for a psychotic lying righty troll to make a living.
OSLO, Norway (AP) – A Norwegian journalist has admitted he fabricated interviews with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and talk show host Oprah Winfrey, media reports said Monday.
Freelance writer Bjoern Benkow said in a statement that the interviews, published in Norwegian and Swedish media, were partially concocted because of financial “desperation,” newspaper Verdens Gang reported.
“I have met and talked to these global celebrities,” Benkow was quoted as saying. “But the circumstances and times have not always been as I described.” The acknowledgment came after Microsoft Norway said last week that an interview with Gates, printed in the Norwegian magazine Mann and top-selling Swedish tabloid daily Aftonbladet, was “totally fake.”
Here is a taste of how the leftys lie in Europe.
LONDON (Reuters) – Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer from its database on Monday after an urgent review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and the armed group Hizbollah.
Global Picture Editor Tom Szlukovenyi called the measure precautionary but said the fact that two of the images by photographer Adnan Hajj had been manipulated undermined trust in his entire body of work.
“There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image and getting caught,” Szlukovenyi said in a statement.
“Reuters has zero tolerance for getting caught and constantly reminds its photographers, both staff and freelance, of this strict policy.”
The news and information agency announced the decision in an advisory note to its photo service subscribers. The note also said Reuters had tightened doctoring procedures for photographs from the conflict and apologized for the case.
Removing the images from the Reuters database excludes them from future sale.
Reuters ended its relationship with Hajj on Sunday after it found that a photograph he had taken of the aftermath of an Israeli air strike on suburban Beirut had been manipulated using Photoshop software to show more and darker smoke rising from buildings.
An immediate enquiry began into Hajj’s other work.
It established on Monday that a photograph of an Israeli F-16 fighter over Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon and dated Aug 2, had also been doctored to increase the number of flares dropped by the plane from one to three
A Reuters employee has been suspended after sending a death threat to an American blogger.
The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: “I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut.”
It was sent to Charles Johnson, owner of the Little Green Footballs (LGF) weblog, a popular site which often backs Israel and highlights jihadist terrorist activities.
In the threat, the Reuters staff member, who has not been named, left his email address as “zionistpig” at hotmail.com.
Reporting the message to his readers, Johnson wrote on his website: “This particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News.”
Speaking to Ynetnews, Johnson said: “I was surprised to receive a threat from a Reuters IP, but only because it was so careless of this person to use a traceable work account to do it.”
He added: “I think it’s more than fair to say that Reuters has a big problem.”
‘Employee suspended’
After bringing the threat to the attention of Reuters, Johnson was told by the news organization’s Global Head of Communications, Ed
Williams: “I can confirm that an employee has been suspended pending further investigation. The individual was not an employee of Reuters’ news division.”
In an additional twist, Johnson traced the movements of the sender of the threat, and found direct parallels between the internet locations of the sender and Inayat Bunglawala, Media Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain.

A hypocritical liberal such as YOURSELF who heats his own home with OIL, should not be casting aspersion when it comes to oil.
The husband of DEMOCRAT State Rep. Marie P. St. Fleur, who says he is separated from his wife, was arrested in a prostitution sting in Roxbury late Saturday night after he allegedly offered an undercover female cop $40 for oral sex, according to a police report.
Jean Baptiste Lauture, 47, of Dorchester, was arrested at the intersection of Blue Hill Avenue and Woodcliff Street, police said.
Lauture was arrested on a charge of soliciting sex for a fee and booked at Roxbury’s District 2 station. His 1993 Infiniti was towed, according to the police report. His lawyer, Ernst Guerrier, entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf at his arraignment at Roxbury District Court.
The bust was part of Operation Squeeze, a crackdown on prostitution in the hot-spot neighborhood that netted four other men over the weekend.
A spokesperson for St. Fleur, a Dorchester Democrat, refused to comment on the case. […………………………………$40 for a BJ? Bill Clinton needed to send Monica over for half that!!!]
Democrats should show “Big Oil” they mean business by refusing to buy gasoline, heating oil, and LNG!! In addition, Democrats must not fly private or public airplanes because of “ozone depletion” and “global warming”!!!!!!

YUMA, Ariz. – A sport utility vehicle crammed with suspected illegal immigrants rolled over Monday in an attempt to outrun Border Patrol agents, killing nine Mexican citizens and injuring at least 12 others, officials said.
ADVERTISEMENT
Five of the injured, including a pregnant woman, were in critical condition, most with head trauma, hospital officials said.
The Chevy Suburban was carrying up to 22 people when the driver had tried to circumvent a checkpoint on the highway, Border Patrol spokesman Lloyd Frers said.
With Border Patrol agents in pursuit, the driver attempted to make a U-turn and rolled over, Frers said. He did not know how fast either vehicle was traveling.
“It’s pretty obvious to anybody who looks at it that it was more than likely a smuggling load … and they were more than likely from Mexico, ” Frers said. The driver, “JDB”, said he was in a hurry to get the illegals to Stamford, CONN, to vote in Tuesday’s Democrat primary.

WASHINGTON — For those who have handled them, North Korean “supernotes” are virtually indistinguishable from the $100 bills they mimic – near-perfect forgeries of the most widely circulated U.S. bank note outside the United States.
But the fakes are more than just beautiful examples of criminal craftsmanship. They may also be the biggest hurdle to the resumption of six-nation talks meant to persuade the North to abandon its self-described nuclear weapons production program.
North Korea has refused to negotiate until the United States lifts financial restrictions imposed on a Macau-based bank and several North Korean companies for alleged counterfeiting, money-laundering and other illicit activities.

Ah! The results of deregulation at work! So this story has grown from “a little bitty leak” to the revelation that BP hasn’t run a pig through their pipes since they took them over 14 years ago. No doubt they were figuring on saving millions on maintenance costs by not doing any and gambling on nothing major falling apart before Prudhoe was played out. Looks like they didn’t make it.
Anyone want to place any bets on how long it’s been since the main pipeline was inspected?
SeattleDan:
You have missed that JCH Limbugh always brings up anal sex whenever he can, ideally with black men. There is something about that which just makes him all giddy. He is also the one person on this board with an opinion of what to charge for a blowjob. Of course, he only asks for $40 if he has to wear his crackerjack suit.
As for JCH’s question about Hillary calling Dick Morris a “fucking Jew bastard,” like everything else JCH has eversaid, it is simply a lie. No one has ever accused Hillary of doing so (note, JCH never actually gives sites for anything he says).
There was an accusationn from a former Clinton aid who was not Jewish that in 1974 Hillary said something like that, but:
The “story,” pushed along in Mickey Kaus’s Slate column, did not withstand scrutiny. Oppenheimer was a former reporter for the National Enquirer. His source, a former Clinton campaign aide named Paul Fray, had lost his law license for taking a bribe. The story of the campaign argument had been told by Fray to many reporters over the years-with no mention of the “Jew bastard” remark. In addition, Fray had written to Mrs. Clinton in 1997, apologizing for calling her names and spreading false stories about her. Oppenheimer misstated basic facts about Mrs. Clinton’s family tree in an attempt to tar her entire family as anti-Semitic. Nor was it evident that Fray, a Baptist, was even Jewish.

“So pbj, how does the fact two Chinese immigrants voted in King County prove the Democrats stole the election, when research shows the Chinese are the most conservative ethnic group and the most likely to vote Republican”
Well, first off all, nice strawman Rabbit, but that was not what I said. I stated that one does not have to be a citizen in Washington to vote, and you said prove it, and I did. Then you began frothing from the mouth about Democrats stealing elections and all with spittle flying from your mouth like a lawn sprinkler. I think you have a guilty conscience. But again that is a contradiction isn’t it? Democrat, conscience.
And your hastily constructed website saying what you assert with NO evidence to back it up hardly qualifies as research. But I WILL throw you a bone. LEGAL Asian immigrants are probably likely to vote Republican. It is the ILLEGAL ones from Communist China, we KNOW will vote for Democrats.

King County Metro has 100 40ft Trackless Trolleys, and an unknown number of 60fters of two different models.(I am not sure how many ex-tunnel buses have been converted, and at least 11 of the 20 year old MAN Trackless Trolleys are on the dead line at Atlantic Base, the all time high was 46 of that model, 60 of the Bredas will be converted). I think it is a disgrace that Metro will have only 160 buses that use no Diesel at all. In 1944, Metro predecessor Seattle Transit carried 130 million passengers, with 307 Trackless trolleys and about 100 motor buses. Gasoline was not only in short supply, it was rationed. There was an all out war-effort going on at the time, and the home front was doing it’s part.
Would have been nice if some of the steepest grades in the city had trackless trolleys still running on them. Unfortunately, the 11-Madison Park route, which is the eastarn half of the old Madison Cable Car Line, used to be a trackless trolley route, the wires were ripped out by Seattle Transit in 1965. Metro has tried at least once to re-electrify it. Too many NIMBY’s blocked it.
Anybody outraged by Venezuela’s newest Arms purchase? They bought the latest Russian Jet, the Sukhoi SU-30MKI. India uses that jet, and our top of the line F-15s did an excersise against them. The results were not good, for us. That is why the F/A-22 is needed, and should not be sacrificed to pay for Rumsfeld’s transformation. In fact, several times this jet has faced cancelation, and it is not just because of the usual cost overuns. Analysts on both sides have said that the F-15C is more than enough to face existing and future threats. Well, in a couple excersises, the first Raptors that have gone into service have proven pretty well. Unfortunately, excersises do not mean much, actual combat does, and I want our Fighter Pilots to have the best. I am not sure about the range of the SU-30MKI, but it would be great to have a couple squadrons of Raptors based in Texas.(The F/A-22 was supposed to be called Lightning II in honor of another Lockheed product of WWII, but the Air Force said it would be called the Raptor(bird of prey), possibly due to the popularity of Jurassic Park)
One feature of the F/A-22 that I like besides it’s Stealth, is the fact that it can get to Mach One without Afterburner. The Afterburners are what makes most fighters supersonic, but they eat up a lot of fuel.
Here is a link to some info on the SU-30MKI

JCH:
Still waiting for a single citation to Hillary calling Morris a Jew Bastard. Oh, that’s right, you are lying, so there is none.
Biographer Jerry Oppenheimer’s book STATE OF A UNION: INSIDE THE COMPLEX MARRIAGE OF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON.
In one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, “You fucking Jew bastard!”
Two sourced eyewitnesses confirmed to Oppenheimer that they heard the verbal assault.
One anti-Semitic slur slung in anger hardly defines a person, and Hillary has always had a tendency when angry to go for the gut,” Oppenheimer writes.
But, unfortunately, according to UNION, that was neither the first nor the last time Hillary had used such a slur. And there is a darker side to the story.
In probing Rodham family roots, Oppenheimer writes that Hillary paternal grandmother was known for her violent antipathy toward Jews and Catholics, something Hillary‘s father heard while growing up.
Oppenheimer discovered from family sources a vein of anti-Semitism that was sparked after Hillary’s maternal grandmother got married for the second time to a Jew, a Chicago businessman named Max Rosenberg.
According to the book, Hillary’s mother, Dorothy Rodham, held a life-long grudge against Rosenberg, and made Jewish slurs, according to an on the record family member quoted by Oppenheimer.
When asked about Hillary’s Jewish connection and the Rosenberg marriage, Hillary’s brother, Tony, told Oppenheimer firmly, “It was no big deal. In our family, with my brother, myself, my sister, my mother, my father, we‘re not Jewish in any way, shape or form.”
And no she was not referring to Dick Morris, she directed her hatred toward Paul Fray, who at first blush appears to be a hapless Baptist, but who indeed have a grandmother who is/was Jewish and the heritage is indeed passed down maternally.
Futhermore, In mid-July 2000, Paul Fray himself slapped down a challenge to the Hiltlary Bitch to take a polygraph test to back up her refutation of the accusation.
Paul Fray, head of Bill Clinton’s failed 1974 run for Congress, said he would be glad to take truth serum and a lie detector test to confirm the testimony by his wife Mary Lee Fray, businessman Neil McDonald, and himself that a raging Hillary screamed that he was a “F–king Jew Bastard!”
You may notice those cute little grammatical markings… “…. they are called quotes and tehy indicate ACTUAL WORDS PEOPLE HAVE SAID.

Thanks for proving JCH wrong. However, if you read this whole thread, you would have seen all of this posted before, and the rest of the story that you forgot:
The “story,” pushed along in Mickey Kaus’s Slate column, did not withstand scrutiny. Oppenheimer was a former reporter for the National Enquirer. His source, a former Clinton campaign aide named Paul Fray, had lost his law license for taking a bribe. The story of the campaign argument had been told by Fray to many reporters over the years-with no mention of the “Jew bastard” remark. In addition, Fray had written to Mrs. Clinton in 1997, apologizing for calling her names and spreading false stories about her. Oppenheimer misstated basic facts about Mrs. Clinton’s family tree in an attempt to tar her entire family as anti-Semitic. Nor was it evident that Fray, a Baptist, was even Jewish.

Oh, and since quotation marks mean so much to you, here are some good quotes:
“My life will only be complete when I find a big black man to fuck me up the Ass.” John Craig Herman (aka JCH Limbaugh, R-drop your pants and lift your sack).
“Sure, I’m and idiot and a racist, but I’m a conservative, what do you expect.” Mark the Yellowback
“Well, given that I’m always wrong, if I wasn’t proud to be an ass, I would have nothing.” ProudtobeaLimbaugh.
Yep, you are right, quotes are marvilous things.
Your “source” is something called third world traveler republican noise machine.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
