Big Dan's Big News May 18, 2010

And here's the guy responsible for all these fossil fuel related disasters due to neutering government oversight agencies and filling them with inept cronies who were in bed with the companies they were overseeing:

So, do ya "miss him yet"? Well, you don't have to miss him! He's still here! In every oil spill, in every coal mine disaster, in every Marcellus Shale contamination.....just think: REPUBLICAN! Think: Bush/Cheney!!!! And don't worry about the Bush/Cheney administration being responsible for all this, no one's holding them accountable! Not the "news", not the Obama administration...don't forget to vote Republican, so they can undo all the oversights that are being put into place now!!! The Republicans ruin the country for 8 years under Bush/Cheney, then when the Democrats get in, people say: "Take our country back" and there's "anti-incumbent ferver"....THAT'S THE REPUBLICANS SAYING THAT, YOU IDIOTS!!!!!! After ONE YEAR of being out of power, of course they want to "Take their country back"...don't let them!!!!!!!

And where IS Dick Cheney??? The "news" was shoving him down our throats...until all these fossil fuel-related disasters HE was connected to!!!

Dick: why aren't you an LIZ on TV anymore? Like you were DAILY until all these disasters hit due to YOUR deregulation and filling oversight agencies with inept cronies???

No wonder Dick Cheney is AWOL from TV:

Ground work for Gulf disaster was established with a permissive tone with oil industry set in secret meetings in 2001. An acoustic switch to automatically shut down oil wells was reversed by Federal agency in 2003 may be a major factor in blowup.

Top progressive radio host Thom Hartmann interviews Mike Papantonio, who's leading litigation against BP:



Massey Energy's West Virginia coal mine disaster investigation is still going on...but out of the spotlight because of the BP oil rig disaster...all these fossil fuel-related disasters are directly because the Bush administration deregulated government oversight and put cronies in charge of oversight.

Don Blankenship, head of Massey energy, caught on tape roughing up reporter.

Head of Massey Energy Don Blankenship: If you take photos, you're "liable to get shot"...he's pissed that reporters didn't forget about him because of the BP disaster:





Don't forget to vote Republican, so they can undo any government oversights put in because of these disasters caused by the Bush administration!!!

Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Oregon (and Hawaii is currently holding an all-mail special election which ends on Saturday) will be holding elections and offer a mix of electoral systems --- from a majority of voters using 100% unverifiable touch-screen machines in use in KY and PA, to a compilation of touch-screen and paper ballot systems run by a company with a disastrous reliability record in AR, to the black hole of all mail-in voting in OR (and in HI).

Pennsylvania: Election System/Concerns: Like KY, the Keystone State uses largely 100% unverifiable DRE/touch-screen systems. Whatever they tell us at the end of the day will be almost impossible to verify as accurate one way or the other.
