BP Claims Oil Flow Stopped

As of 2:25pm CST BP claims the oil gushing from the Deep Horizon disaster has been slowed almost to zero.  Supposedly the new arrangement will allow for them to siphon off all the oil being released (as of today that is $76 per barrel and it is estimated 60,000 barrels per day so that's around $4.5 million per day of income to offset the billions of damage) if the well is fractured and they have to relieve pressure while they complete the relief wells.  If the pressure goes up and stays there they will seal the well for now.  The well will not be completely contained until the relief wells are finished and the well is filled with concrete.  Let's just hope it's not Haliburton that is in charge of the cement this time.

Halliburton Works For Al Qaeda?

A 24-year-old staff sergeant was electrocuted when he took a shower at a US Army base in Iraq.

He wasn't the first. At least 12 soldiers and marines have been electrocuted by shoddy wiring and construction at US bases built by Halliburton.

No one is that inept. Halliburton is obviously working for Al Qaeda.

The streets of Baghdad are safe. Combat has ceased. Yet our troops continue to die.

But now is no time to go wobbly. If we pull out now, all the sacrifice will have been in vain!

...and Dick Cheney's trust fund has another massive check deposited into it.
