Scout,

Using Limbaugh as a plug to stop the oil leak has some genuine appeal. And of course I also see that the pic implies a remedy to cap off the toxicity that he and other similar thinking broadcast pundits use to polute the minds of those who seem to feel the need to surrender thinking for themselves.

Despite so many people saying that they know what they see, hear, or read from political pundits is mostly opinion, almost sadly, in their next sentence they will describe an opinion made by some pundit as a factual event (???). The really bad thing is...as we all know, there's millions of people who fall into this category. (Tsk, tsk, tsk, "as we all know", implying in RR.)

Off of the humor side of the pic. I wished we (not sure who 'we' is) had the resources to redress every lie that Limbaugh and other like minds spew from their evil little minds. Well, let me add - I'm not talking about nailing a singled out group of pundits, but all of them. It would be great to have a nation-wide, 24 hour a day, radio syndicated program and a "cable' TV network exclusively for debunking so-call pundits who attempt to covertly portray their commentaries and opinions as fact.

Hmmmm, wait. Would anybody listen in or watch?






Turn on ANY brand of political machine - and it automatically goes to the "SPIN and LIE CYCLE" wink

Surely, using Limbaugh and his ilk to plug the oil geyser in the Gulf of Mexico would be merely to increase the pollution of the Gulf!

FL Senator Nelson confirms oil leaking up from seafloor

IMO- This unmitigated disaster is going to change life for more than just the Gulf Coast residents.

Two relief wells to be finished by August. I heard that many countries- please correct me if I'm mistaken- require that a relief well be drilled at the same time as the primary one before a permit to drill is given, instead of months after a disaster. Considering that the US has the most stringent environmental regulations and controls in the world, why wasn't this precaution taken beforehand, especially at that drilling depth?

WASHINGTON — BP's runaway Deepwater Horizon well may be spewing what the company once-called its worst case scenario — 100,000 barrels a day, a member of the government panel tasked with determining the size of the spill told McClatchy Monday.

Perhaps the major premise of your implied syllogism is false?

Up and Up the numbers go, and where they'll stop, no one knows!
