The 1st Thread For 10/31/12: Heckuva Kate.....Literally

In America, a lack of accountability leads to shameless clowns like this royal clown to continue to say clownish things with t heir clownish personalities. "One thing he's gonna be asked is, why did he jump on this so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in...Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?" Brown says. "Why was this so quick?... At some point, somebody's going to ask that question.... This is like the inverse of Benghazi." Thankfully, Kate Sheppard is the opposite of a clown One has to wonder why Brown even bothers. He would be better off if he just stayed quiet and stopped reminding everyone of his past.  But the fact that someone even thought he was worth listening to at all shows how much of a clown profession our overall journalism is in sometimes occasionally clown America.

It was only a matter of time it appears, but over the last few days, it seems some media outlets are becoming British Petroleum's 2nd Public Relations Group.

What is wrong with this country ? A federal judge in New Orleans on Tuesday sided with the oil industry , striking down the temporary moratorium on new offshore exploration and deepwater drilling the Obama administration imposed last month. That judge, it turns out, has in recent years had interests in Transocean—the world's largest offshore drilling company and the owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig—as well as other energy companies engaged in offshore oil extraction. According to the most recently available financial disclosure form for US District Court Judge Martin Feldman, he had holdings of up to $15,000 in Transocean in 2008. He has also recently owned stock in offshore drilling or oilfield service providers Halliburton, Prospect Energy, Hercules Offshore, Parker Drilling Co., and ATP Oil & Gas. Feldman was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1983. So this Reagan appointee with ties (at least old ties, at the very least) to the oil industry, rules in favor for ...
