First they said there was No Oil
Many of us have written extensively about the Disaster in the Gulf. For me it was day three that I got into the fray. I heard nothing but lies from BP and Officials from our own Government. Instead of reviewing the whole thing again, I’d like to talk about the corexit. The dispersant that was used to break up the oil and hide it form obvious view.
When questioned, our officials said they didn’t know what was in the corexit. That it was a trade secret. Really! I looked up the MSDS on the product rather easily. MSDS or Material Safety Data Sheets are required on all chemical Products made. One thing in common with each MSDS is that there are nine parts per product. Whether it’s just one actually page or twenty pages they all have these nine parts. Some of the parts are ingredients, health hazards, who to call if exposed,effects and first aid. They have used Corexit extensively in the Gulf Oil disaster, millions of gallons have been injected,dumped and sprayed by air over the infected area.
This brings us to this story, a family fell sick recently in Florida. It seems they were using their pool as most who have them do. Rashes appeared on their bodies. Never having been prone to rashes they new something was wrong. The next week when the husband once again went for a swim after mowing the lawn fell sick again. This time with severe diarrhea and a dark urine along with the rash. It lasted about two days.
The couple were even more concerned that they had a son. Of course they didn’t want him to get sick too. They then made the connection with the pool. They got Robert Naman, a mobile, Alabama chemist who already had performed multiple test for WKRG Channel 5. The samples were collected. Here are the findings:
50.3 ppm (Parts per million) 2-butoxyethanol
arsenic less than .02ppm
Coreexit 9527A contains 2-BTE 2-butoxyethanol which is a toxic substance. It causes ruptures of the red blood cells, causing hemolysis (bleeding) and liver and Kidney damage. It is harmful if absorbed through the skin. There may be irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract.
How the hell did this stuff get into their pool in the first place……
“At night we would hear very low aircraft, including helicopters. We figured they were just heading to help out in the Gulf,” and Mrs. Schebler added that she was told, “The prevailing winds from the Gulf are easterly — and when they spray, it is airborne — and that we are right in the path of those winds.”
Why at night did they spray, and why when the winds were up.
But the best question is why are they using this stuff to start with.
It’s soul purpose is to hide the Oil, not make it go away. The dispersant is more toxic than the oil. Someone needs to held accountable for it’s use.
You have to ask yourself why BP has spent 5 million dollars a week on advertising how great a job their doing in the Gulf.

Hello everybody, My name is Rod Golden. I’ve contacted Tim and Melissa at this site in order that I could write for them once a week. I’m from Texas, you know the home of Steers and Queers. I’ll let you guess which one I am. So this is how this is going to go, for right now I have free reign to respond to anyone that writes me an E-mail. Tim set me up with one so here’s the address: Stiffy. I had asked just for the stiffy name, it was taken and as per usual he panicked.
So I’m the Stiffy of ask Stiffy. Warning if you dumb enough to ask about a real problem I’m going to tell you so. Now that we have all that out of the way here goes:
Our First Email reads….Dear stiffy, I really like my boyfriend.. Like he’s really nice to me and all. Our problem is he’s to big, you know what I mean. I mean we’ve been going out for three weeks now and we try to do it. It really hurts and now I just make excuses to not have sex with him. I don’t think he’s going to put up with me for to long. I don’t want to lose him but he’s just to big. What should I do.
Torn Vagina
Dear Torn, ouchey!! To big? Send me a picture of this monster. I’ll try to help you out. First thing you want to do is introduce him to foreplay. I’m sure he’s heard of it but never practiced it. Next get yourself some good lubricant. I happen to use KY. Y because I want to get laid next time. Now if all that don’t work dump his ass and call me.
The Stiffy For Christ sake my first one had be like this.
Our Second Email comes from a Lady that has a pet problem. She writes:
Dear Stiffy, My ex boyfriend thinks I have to many Cats. I have 32 of them. He gave me an ultimatum of either Him or the Cats. Well I just couldn’t get rid of my kittys and so Don left me. The next day he did drop off some air freshener and said good luck. Stiffy what I’m I to do, I miss Donald so much but I love my little pussys. They are so dependent on me. Please Help in Butte, Montana
The Cat Lady
Dear Cat Lady, what are ya nuts..are you a retard or something. Don was right to get his ass out of there. As far as I’m concerned there were 32 too many pussys in that house. Damn the smell alone would have been enough for me. Go market those cats to a Chinese restturant of something if you want a chance with Don. Or…be content smothed in cat hair and shut the hell up.
The Stiffy
Well that’s all for this time. I hope there’s a next after Tim reads this stuff. If you want more of the Stiffy, please let him know. The dumb bastard pays me for this.

I was talking with a friend of mine about Muslims. Of course The Ground Zero so called Mosque came in question. He was so disgusted by the prevailing feeling that he was getting that the center should not be built. Both of us are of the mindset it should be built. We then talked of why so many people are afraid of Muslims. I said,
It so reminds me of when the nation at large was going crazy about Muslims back in the 60s and early 70s. All because of a sports figure that was both loved and reviled. A man who the tighty whiteys hated.
They hated him so much he was getting death threats on the same scale as Obama. That Man was Cassius Clay, better know as the Champ, Muhammd Ali. He was hated so much that the white establishment backed another Black to go up against him. Smokin Joe Frazier. That’s what this fight meant, the hate of a Nation would rest on a fighter who was nothing more than a pawn in a political juggernaut. All this hate against a Man for his religion.
Next thing you know other athletes joined the Muslim faith such as Kareem Abdul Jubbar.
The Nation was perhaps as divided as today. We had the VietNam War, the new laws that were oh so new. The Civil Rights act of 1964. LBJ was a hated figure of a president by many of the youth. The war was escalating. People wanted someone or something to hate. The Black Panthers seemed pretty scary. Ali refused the draft, let’s hate him. I mean he changed his name and everything. What was this Muslim Religion. It indeed was frightening.
I thought about all this and I drew some parallels to today. Somehow the term Black Panthers has gained attention again. All three of them. Remember how they stopped all those Democrats from voting? Not so much huh. Well it was Muslims that attacked our Country so they must all be bad to the bone. Wow, good thing they weren’t catholic. We’d have a all points out on the Pope. Again we are at War. The same things we were afraid of so long ago seems new to day for most. We need a scape goat. Obama, he’s got a funny name. Don’t tell anyone, he’s black. Yeah he’s a good one to hate. All these changes, there sure scary.
Back to the Champ, we saw him fight as a warrior. We seen him close to death with each blow. Even those who hated him, slowly grew to love and respect this man of conviction, this Muslim. Somehow that was all but forgotten as the mantra , the greatest of all time seemed appropriate. I wondered how one Man could take the weight of the World upon himself. He did it though.
Do we need gladiators fighting out our fears and convictions. Or is it a Man, one single Man can really make such a difference. Oh by the way, he is a Muslim.
In time this to shall pass and our children will wonder why we all were so afraid.

I read an article in the Huffington post. Huffpost
Now I just new this was coming. Yeah all this nonsense over a Muslim Center a few blocks from the famous ground zero. Demonstrations, and so many opinions that truth sometimes was obscured. Maybe it will be built and maybe not. I actually don’t care as I won’t be near enough to go swimming. btw they have every right to build it there. I hear it’s going to be a factory outlet for the Gap. Well that’s what I heard anyway.
So this brings us to the next item up for bid:
“So, what if, in addition to the Park51 interfaith cultural center and basketball courts that are not at Ground Zero, we had a bigoted kook-church for people who believe Islam is a “religion of ‘hate and death’” that’s also not at Ground Zero? Then, everything would be even-Steven, right? Well, good news, then, from the Salon War Room:
A bigoted pastor who has assailed gays and Muslims is launching the “9-11 Christian Center at Ground Zero” a mere two blocks from the World Trade Center site this Sunday but so far the project hasn’t drawn a peep of protest from those who are outraged by the “ground zero mosque.”
Pastor Bill Keller of Florida said today he will begin preaching this Sunday at the Marriott at 85 West Street (see proximity to ground zero here). A weekly service is planned at the hotel until the $8 million 9/11 Christian Center finds a permanent space. (Fundraising is going well, Keller told Salon today.)”
Not a peep from anyone. The silence is deafening. This Rev., Mighty Bill Keller of Florida is a slime from the word go. Another Church of hate. Right near ground zero. It not even a god damn pool. Where’s Fox, clear channels and the rest of the cast from survivor. The Muslim’s are very quiet on this matter too.
Maybe they have true tolerance.
Success in The Gulf
Really, Really is that what there saying… I have to wonder Why. It’s a lie you know.
There’s plenty of Oil left in the water for future generations to deal with. An example of a fuck you attitude to the people of the South is the Dept. of Marine Resources. They opened it’s territorial waters for fishing. But what about all the oil and toxic dispersants from the BP disaster.
It never happened. There’s nothing to see here, move on. Oil? What Oil?
The Food and drug administration said it’s okay. Gee they wouldn’t lie to us would they…
Our friends at truthout did their own test along with a couple of fishermen. Surprise! They found high levels of Oil in the Mississippi Sound.
They tied an absorbent pad to a weighted hook, dropped it overboard for a short duration of time, then pulled it up to find the results.
On each of the eight tests Truthout witnessed, the white pads were brought up covered in a brown oily substance that the fishermen identified as a mix of BP’s crude oil and toxic dispersant. Don’t forget about enough Methane to set water on fire. How can that be bad for ya.
Plenty of other test were done to. Who you going to believe says the Government, Us or your lying eyes.
I urge you to click on the link to see photos and test results.
Bottom line is we are being lied to. This writer believes the reason for the hastened judgement is pressure from the fishing industry, local officials and last be not least BP itself. Even today,Mary Landrieu (Senator) was on meet the press stating that she wanted the moratorium on drilling lifted. Money I’m sure has nothing to do with it, right Mary…. Why is it things got suddenly better after the prime Minister of England dropped in on the President. The Prime Minister was worried about all the old Ladies in England that had invested in BP as part of their retirement. Here’s another case of to big to fail.
I guess the truth will come out in time as people begin to get sick, Marine life ceases in the Gulf. Drill baby drill has gotten back to full mode and we disintegrate into a third World Country.
Some people are worried about to much Government, I’m not, I’m worried about a truthful Government.

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve not written much of anything about Beck and Palin as of late. To be honest, some critiques have suggested I not in order refrain from giving them more publicity. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Its seems to me, we have a duty to call them out for their lies and distortions.
Unless we want an America that reflects their beliefs, an America that is in a constant state of War, one that let’s people fend for themselves when there’s no way of doing that. A place where when of age your disposable. Where women’s rights don’t amount to anything. Where segregation is once more embraced. Where Corporations are king. All this while embracing the flag as if what ever you do is now cleansed because of National pride. Religious tolerance is a distant memory.
Your either a Christian or your nothing. Walmart rules! The American dream is turned to just survival. Just two classes are aloud. Rich and us. One news outlet,Fox. One radio station, Clear channel. A true hundred year War, to gather all the oil and to wipe out Muslims. Real interment camps like what’s already being purposed by the Republicans.
When I saw Beck and Palin on TV talking but not saying a thing. Vast numbers of people came to see a miracle. Palin came to campaign for President. Beck is laughing all the way to the bank. The sheeple don’t realize what pawns they are. I feel there lost. They have no sense of self worth. Their beliefs and values are what’s being told to them. Religion is being bastardize for gain.
Yeah we have to speak out. If we do nothing, we’re no better than the Sheeple.
