SPILL BABY SPILL This is BAD, people. REALLY BAD. 1989 Exxon Valdez BAD. Yeah so where are the so-called Teabaggers NOW in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida and Louisiana? You know, the ones that don't want no gummint "interference" in health care or "bizness" or "regulatory control" or "rasin' taxes" for "socialist" programs like the EPA? Piyush "Bobby" Jindal speaks for them: "I spoke with Secretary Napolitano (aka The FEDS. -Ed.) this evening to outline the state’s needs as we brace for the impact of the oil spill on our coast. We appreciate the efforts to date of the Coast Guard and BP as the lead parties. As the oil spill comes closer to our coast, we have asked for additional resources from the Coast Guard and BP as we work to mitigate the impact of the spill on our state." and Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports in U.S. Gulf States Mobilize for Valdez-Like Oil Spill (Update4) "Jindal, a Republican, also requested federal funding for 90 days of military duty for as many as 6,000 National Guard troops and demanded extra oil barriers from BP and the U.S. Coast Guard to protect wildlife reserves that nurture a $1.8 billion seafood industry, the richest in the U.S. behind Alaska. Shrimpers and fishermen filed suit in federal court on April 28 against BP and Transocean Ltd., owner of the sunken rig. The lawsuits say Louisiana supplies 25 percent of the seafood for the continental U.S." Last year in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing on offshore energy production David Rainey, Vice President for Gulf of Mexico Exploration at BP America said improved drilling technology allows oil companies to search for supplies in an environmentally friendly way: "These advances enable more production while reducing environmental impacts and allowing for efficient use of existing facilities and infrastructure...Finding oil and gas for the future requires exploring in areas that are ever deeper and more complex." (see Reuters). How's that working out for ya, Mr. Rainey? So BP now is trying to burn the oil or use a "dispersant". ProPuiblica reports in Chemicals Meant To Break Up BP Oil Spill Present New Environmental Concerns, "On Thursday BP began using the chemical compounds to dissolve the crude oil, both on the surface and deep below, deploying an estimated 100,000 gallons...The exact makeup of the dispersants is kept secret under competitive trade laws, but a worker safety sheet for one product, called Corexit, says it includes 2-butoxyethanol, a compound associated with headaches, vomiting and reproductive problems at high doses. “There is a chemical toxicity to the dispersant compound that in many ways is worse than oil,” said Richard Charter, a foremost expert on marine biology and oil spills who is a senior policy advisor for Marine Programs for Defenders of Wildlife and is chairman of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council. “It’s a trade off – you’re damned if you do damned if you don’t -- of trying to minimize the damage coming to shore, but in so doing you may be more seriously damaging the ecosystem offshore.” Surprisingly BP did not respond to requests for comment for ProPublica's article! Raw Story posts an AP article Gulf oil spill swiftly balloons, could move east that explains, "...the spill should eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident as the worst U.S. oil disaster in history in a matter of weeks. But a growing number of experts warned that the situation may already be much worse. "The spill and the spreading is getting so much faster and expanding much quicker than they estimated," said Hans Graber, executive director of the university's Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing. "Clearly, in the last couple of days, there was a big change in the size." ... As bad as the oil spill looks on the surface, it may be only half the problem, said University of California Berkeley engineering professor Robert Bea, who serves on a National Academy of Engineering panel on oil pipeline safety...Louisiana State University professor Ed Overton, who heads a federal chemical hazard assessment team for oil spills, worries about a total collapse of the pipe inserted into the well. If that happens, there would be no warning and the resulting gusher could be even more devastating because regulating flow would then be impossible." WOW. There's plenty more coverage at BTV regulars PBC, ROF, Max, GRITtv and Democracy NOW! So of course the WH Limo drops off the usual suspects JANET NAPOLITANO and KEN SALAZAR at FAKE Snooze, This Tapper & State of Candy. Then the rest folllow up with various Gulf State poo-bahs like FL GOV CHARLIES CRIST on Meet the David, Face the Bob with Rep. CHARLIE MELANCON (D-La), Sen. BILL NELSON (D?-Fla) & MARY LANDRIEU (D?-La) while HILLARY gets an EXCLUSIVE on Meet the David too. Watch KATRINA VAN DEN HUEVEL, BILL MAHER and AL SHARPTON beat up on former Bush political strategist MATTHEW DOWD and Curnedgeon GEORGE WILL on the This Week's Roundtable! Throw ALL yer bricks at BP AMERICA CHAIRMAN and PRESIDENT LAMAR KAY exclusive on This Jake. Meanwhile, while the Gulf literally burns, Greece is about to implode the Euro or default.

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

    Riot Police Clash with Greek Protesters Over Austerity Measures Stacy Summary: Riot police clash with Greeks protesting austerity measures. Coming to a city near you? By the way, these riots are unnecessary; the Greeks should default on these bonds that are unpayable and let the French and German banks eat the losses on their bad investments. That’s capitalism. And the sooner the global zombie debt pile is set alight, the sooner we can get on with rebuilding our economies and financial systems.
    Drill, Baby, Drill, Dead in the Water as Obama Puts Hold on all New Offshore Projects Stacy Summary: Oops. Drill, baby, drill, dead in water. Four weeks ago, Obama reversed campaign promise and approved offshore drilling, today he is putting all projects on hold. Update: Morgan Stanley pays $14 million to settle accusations of hiding complex oil trades. There is that word ‘complex’ again and yet again (as per the banana republicanization trend) a select group of oligarchs get to ’settle’ claims without having to admit guilt or face any real consequence.

    [KR38] Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Scandal! – & Max Fraad Wolff Stacy Summary: In this episode, we look at the scandals of bailout buffets for Too Big to Fail banks; selling complexity to very profitable unsophisticated investors; the IMF is ‘there to help Greece’ . . . in a Dr. Kervorkian kind of way. In the second half of the show, Max interviews economist Max Fraad Wolff about US government debt.
    Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Scandal! – & Max Keiser! Stacy Summary: We look at a handful of the many Goldman Sachs fraud metaphors; the scandals of what the US bankers, regulators and government knew about Repo 105 before it helped take down Lehman Brothers, and of President Clinton’s big mistake on derivatives. In the second half of the show, Stacy interviews Max Keiser, in virtual Hollywood, about the box office futures market.

    Scott Horton interviews Peter Lance (mp3) 120:00 May 1, 2010. Peter Lance, author of Triple Cross: How bin Laden’s Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI–and Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him, discusses Ali Mohamad’s infiltration of the U.S. government, the Egyptian core of al Qaeda, how the FBI could have prevented the 1993 WTC bombing, informant Emad Salem’s heroic attempt to infiltrate the Blind Sheik’s cell and later get him convicted of the bombing, FBI manager Carson Dunbar’s unbelievable arrogance and incompetence, field agent Nancy Floyd’s exemplary service, Lockheed Martin’s perpetual failure to fix the FBI’s computers, the 1995 Bojinka plot for non-suicide attacks on aircraft uncovered by the arrest of Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah in the Philippines, why the KSM trial should be held in NYC, the hypocrisy of Andrew McCarthy – who made his career prosecuting terrorism cases in civilian venues – now demanding military trials or none at all, the time Ali Mohamad directly threatened federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald with the unleashing of al Qaeda sleeper agents and he didn’t do anything about it.
    Scott Horton interviews David Paul Hammer (mp3) 78:07 May 1, 2010. Death row inmate David Paul Hammer, author of Deadly Secrets: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing, discusses the mysterious “Major” and “Poindexter” characters that Timothy McVeigh claimed help instigate and advance the Oklahoma City bombing plot, Andreas Strassmeir’s role in leading the Aryan Republican Army’s military wing, why McVeigh believed that his execution would be faked – and therefore didn’t want an autopsy, Hammer’s claim that FBI agents offered him a life sentence in exchange for holding back his book, the strict limitations on media interviews of death row inmates despite court decisions allowing them, the FBI PATCON plan to infiltrate and discredit right-wing militia movements in the 1990s, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s connection to Elohim City informants and why John Does two and three were most likely Richard Guthrie and Michael Brescia.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Wall Street Shuffle FIRST OFF We warned you last week "ED RENDELL tries to make sense of anything MARSHA BLACKBURN (Kook - TN) has to say." We go to Richard Cohen from the reliable WaPo who actually WATCHED AND THEN BLOGGED about it in The Tea Party's moment of truth

    On “Meet the Press” yesterday, David Gregory asked Marsha Blackburn, a very Republican congresswoman from Tennessee, whether she approved of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) referring to the Obama administration as “this gangster government.” Blackburn had just finished telling Gregory that the Tea Party is wonderful because it’s about truth: “What they want is leaders who are going to say, ‘Look, we’re –you may not agree with us, we’re going to tell you the truth. We’re going to tell you we’re we stand.’” So where did Blackburn stand on Bachmann’s remark, made at a Tea Party rally? “Are those views that you would stand behind? That kind of rhetoric?” Gregory wanted to know. In other words, is the United States of America like Venezuela or Cuba, or Syria or Belarus? Or was this another example of extremely tasteless rhetoric, an incredibly un-Tea Partyish lie uttered by a politician who had contempt -- utter contempt, if I can editorialize -- for her audience? I held my breath: This threatened to be a moment of truth, candor and nearly unprecedented boldness. But Blackburn was in a bit of a fix. After all, conservatives have been on a bender of Shavian wit lately: “You lie!” “Baby killer!” Not to mention the allegation that Barack Obama is a socialist -- or, as Newt Gingrich and Jim Garlow phrased it in a recent Washington Post op-ed, that Christian conservatives are up against “a secular-socialist culture,” which is as close as I would like to come, thank you, to a Godless-Menshevik culture of the sort found on the Upper West Side of New York. Still, while the culture is abhorrent, the bagels are pretty good. Ah, but I digress. We must get back to “Guts Ball” Blackburn, as she will henceforth be known. Did she agree? Did she approve? Gangster government? Rat-a-tat-at?
    “You know, I choose a different rhetoric,” Blackburn said.
    But that was not what Gregory asked, and he said so.
    DG: “Wait, but one sec -- is that over the line?...”
    MB: “That was very --”
    DG: “Is that over the line?”
    The congresswoman from truth, from candor, from telling people where she stood, summoned all her political courage and said,

    MB: “Those -- those are the words that she chose and the statements that she made.”
    Pathetic.

Tell us how you REALLY FEEL, Richard! Haha! So this week must be REALLY IMPORTANT (brought to you by Cargill and Boeing and BP to try to make you believe they are "saving the planet" with their "green" technology using "energy right here at home" aka nuclear power, off-shore drilling and "clean coal" during the corporate "breaks" - we digress). So they trudge on (in between "ooooh aaaahh look at the volcano cloud!") with the WH Limo dropping off LARRY "Africa is Under-polluted" SUMMERS on Face the Bob and AUSTAN GOOLSBEE on This Tapper to explain the FRAUD lawsuit against Goldman Sachs and their part in the "Wall Street Shuffle" that transferred enormous chunks of wealth UPWARD to THEM. Catch SHERROD BROWN on This Jake talking about his "Employee Misclassification Protection Act" and his proposed essential amendment to the Dodd bill...to force the biggest banks and bank holding companies to downsize so that they no longer will be able to control so much of the nation's wealth and financial activity that they are "too big to fail" (see John Nichols @ The Nation Amend to End Too Big to Fail ). Sez Nichols "Without Brown's amendment, Dodd's bill amounts to little more than tinkering around the edges of the real problem." Speaking of CHRIS DODD he will tangle with RICHARD SHELBY on Meet the David while State of the Crowley gets SAXBY CHAMBLISS taking on BOB MENENDEZ. Our favorite brick recipient this week is THOMAS "Flat Earth" FRIEDMAN on FTN plus catch PAUL KRUGMAN telling GEORGE WILL how bad Will's comb-over is while giving him verbal noogies. We urge you to go over to Democracy Now and watch as much as you can from last week's World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth from Bolivia. We snagged only a few of the interviews here so go watch more! Also Max Keiser has some great stuff on the IMF-Greece fiasco which is coming to a head now with WH Treasury Secretary TIMMY GIETHNER urging Greece, EU and IMF to reach agreement on helping debt-plagued Greek government in Washington. JIM HIGHTOWER is on Ring of Fire and Peter B has "Habeas Corpus Week" plus many more great interviews throughout! The Brick TeeVee Crew celebrates "Shin-Soo Choo AL Player of the Week" batting .579 (11-for-19) with three homers, including a grand slam, and drove in 11 RBIs! Plus we look for the CAVS to bounce back from that tough loss on Thursday in Chicago. Root on your favorite teams/players/drivers and enjoy your Sunday!

    Info on Podcast #123 Published on 3012 April 2010 by admin in Podcast Info -- Jason Leopold: BushCo knew most Gitmo prisoners were innocent; Prof. John Laprise: Pres. Ford OK’d wiretaps, break-ins. Leopold is Deputy Managing editor of Truthout.org, and details Lawrence Wilkerson’s sworn declaration that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others knew that most Guantanamo inmates were innocent of any terrorism crimes, even as they repeatedly lied that all at Gitmo were the “worst of the worst”. The lies continue, with Obama dropping the nomination of Dawn Johnsen to the Justice Dept. following Liz Cheney’s smear of the “al Qaeda 8″. Prof. Laprise of Northwestern has researched the history of computers in the White House, and reports that documents from the Ford administration (with younger Cheney and Rumsfeld in key posts) authorized break-ins and electronic surveillance, after the Nixon blunders but before the 1978 FISA law on wiretapping. Section 2 of the podcast starts at about 41:38
    Info on Podcast #125 Published on 16 April 2010 by admin in Podcast Info -- Joshua Kors: Shameful treatment of wounded GI’s; Gen. Robert Gard on Obama’s nuclear weapons summit. Kors is a great journalist with a new cover story for The Nation that exposes outrageous treatment of wounded Iraq combat vets. This time, it’s the case of Sgt. Chuck Luther, injured in a mortar blast, who was treated like a Gitmo prisoner when he sought treatment for the injuries, and pressured to accept a discharge that said his war injuries were caused a case of “personality disorder” that preceded his service. Gen. Gard is an elder warrior (Korea, Vietnam) who is Chair of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. He comments on the 47-nation conference about loose nukes held in Washington in mid-April, the new START treaty with Russia and its flaws, Bush’s blunder on our nuclear deal with India, US failure to expose and understand the A.Q. Khan network, and related issues. The second segment starts about 28:30

Mike Papantonio appears on Fox Business’s Happy Hour to talk about why these wealthy backers have the good sense to stay away from the Tea Party protesters, who seem to be getting crazier by the day.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

NOT "clean" coal: So many stories, so little time! WikiLeaks' video, Justice John Paul Stevens retiring, Internet Neutrality ruling, SALT II renewal and Israel opting out of Nuclear Summit, explosions in Iraq and West Virginia. WAIT. Explosions in WVA? Oh yes, the Massey coal mine explosion, that is. Let's take a brief moment to look at the history of what's know today as Massey Energy. Here's a short timeline:

  • 1920: A.T. Massey Coal Company (ATM) is formed.
  • 1972: E. Morgan Massey becomes president of ATM.
  • 1974: The company is sold to St. Joe Minerals.
  • 1980: Royal Dutch/Shell Group and St. Joe form the Massey Coal Partnership.
  • 1981: The Fluor Corporation acquires St. Joe.
  • 1987: ATM becomes a wholly owned Fluor subsidiary.
  • 1990: Don Blankenship named President
  • 2000: The Fluor Corporation is split into two publicly traded companies, with the coal operations becoming Massey Energy Company.
  • FAMOUS QUOTE: "We must demand that more coal be burned to save the Earth from global cooling."
  • "Don Blankenship would actually be less powerful if he were in elected office," Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia once observed. "He would be twice as accountable and half as feared." (Rolling Stone - Climate Killers - The Coal Baron: Don Blankenship
What's interesting is the connection of Don Blankenship's Massey and FLUOR. Who is FLUOR? (Yes 'who' as we all know corporations are 'people' now.) Here's just TWO. 2004: Fluor venture lands $1.1B Iraq contract 2004: Fluor awarded $154m in Iraqi power restoration projects Out googly fingers found MUCH MORE but you get the idea. We recommend watching Mine War on Blackberry Creek (1986) - Web Stream: "Mine War on Blackberry Creek reports on the long and bitter United Mine Workers of America strike in 1984 against A.T. Massey, America's fourth largest coal company with corporate ties to apartheid South Africa." Of course the mine that exploded in WVA last Monday was NON-UNION and Don Blankenship is a self-proclaimed Union-Buster. ThinkProgress points out in Deadly Record: Massey’s Mine In Montcoal Has Been Cited For Over 3,000 Violations, Over $2.2 Million In Fines Since 1995, Massey’s Upper Big Branch-South Mine has been cited for 3,007 safety violations. Massey is contesting 353 violations, and 127 are delinquent. [MSHA]; Massey is contesting over a third (34.7%) of the 516 safety citations the Upper Big Branch-South Mine received in 2009, its greatest count in the last 15 years. [MSHA]; In March 2010, 53 new safety citations were issued for Massey’s Upper Big Branch-South Mine, including violations of its mine ventilation plan. [MSHA]; Massey’s corrupt CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce board member Don Blankenship, has previously told employees that it was more important to “run coal” than follow safety regulations. So it seems Massey would rather pay the fines, ignore the citations or litigate as long as possible with their army of lawyers rather than making their mines as safe as possible for their NON-UNION mine workers. MSHA and Congressional investigations will come and go, but Don Blankenship will still be CEO of Massey, barring a Chinese-like "suicide" or a Fred Sanford-like "Elizabeth! I'm comin'!" moment. The best coverage of the latest Massey mine explosion and subsequent rescue has been on The Horn with Bob Kincaid. You can listen to all last week's shows at White Rose Society Bob Kincaid page, at least for the first hour of each show. But none of this will be mentioned by this Sudany's talking gasbags and Village Idiots. The WH Limo shuttles Secretary of State HILLARY CLINTON and Secretary of Defense BOB GATES to This Guest Anchor and Face the Bob to discuss why Iraqis still blow thing up and what the administration will do about it while Meet the David gets PAT LEAHY and JEFF SESSIONS to posture about the next Supreme Justice to replace Stevens. Over at State of the Crowley Candy hangs with the Southern Republican Leadership Conference to give free air time to the teabaggers, birthers, separatists, militias, pro-lifers, flat-earthers, dominionists and their "leadership". Our BTV Alerts feature WikiLeaks co-founder JULIAN ASSANGE with GLENN GREENWALD and JOSH SILVER of FreePress.net and more. Be sure to catch Ring of Fire with CHRIS HEDGES and GREG PALAST, Peter B's next installment of "Boiling Frogs", DON SEIGELMAN and BRAD FRIEDMAN of BradBlog plus AntiWar Radio interview with Independent journalist DAHR JAMAIL. Do check out MAX KEISER on the Greece default situation and gold plus MATT TAIBBI! The BrickTeeVee crew is looking forward to the Tribe home opener on Monday and the start of the NBA playoffs. We're almost out of the woods temperature-wise so we'll be getting the garden prepped soon. To Baseball!


Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

    Listen at Antiwar Radio
    Scott Horton interviews Dahr Jamail (mp3) 48:25 April 7, 2010. Independent journalist Dahr Jamail discusses the common occurrence of unprovoked US military violence like the incident revealed by Wikileaks, Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s two-month window to eliminate the competition and stay in power, the inability of Americans to parse through media nonsense to get the real story on Iraq, “atrocity producing” situations in Iraq fed by dehumanization and arbitrary rules of engagement and why it’s difficult to turn off the boot camp-indoctrinated killer instinct.
    Scott Horton interviews Eric Margolis (mp3) 42:45 April 7, 2010. Internationally syndicated columnist Eric Margolis discusses US displeasure with “puppet” Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s recent intransigence, the solid representation of former Afghan Communist Party members in the current government and security forces, how the US broke up peace talks between Karzai and the Taliban, the difficulty of getting the straight story on 9/11 and why the micromanaging of Afghanistan’s politics is the height of arrogance and stupidity.
