BP’s Oil is Spreading Like Santorum

Limeys vs. Krauts!! We all know who came out ahead in 1945.

@Dodgerblue: Thanks for the photos, dude.

@SanFranLefty: My pleasure. In other wacky lawyer/spill news, lawyers for the oil services company that got the deepwater drilling moratorium lifted filed another motion that appears to want to prohibit DOI Sec. Salazar from moving his lips to form the word “moratorium” on pain of contempt of court. Hearing on this imaginative effort is tomorrow at 11 AM, New Orleans time. They move things along really fast down there, as though lubed with oil . . . .

@Dodgerblue: Only if we help them (twice). Start shipping guns over now.

@Dodgerblue: How do those pro-industry fuckheads say it? “I wouldn’t call for a *moratorium*. Instead, I’d stop drilling for 30 days to examine the wells and then resume operations after that.” Some dude actually said words to that effect yesterday on the radio.

@redmanlaw: We dropped a “tuchus afn tish” bomb into the moratorium court proceedings this afternoon, asking the distinguished trial judge to disclose whether he has any financial interests that might trigger the federal recusal statute, 28 U.S.C. Sec 455(b)(4). Could make for a fun hearing.

I dunno nada about futbol, but I’ve sure been enjoying unos pocos minutos of Univision’s coverage in the evening.

!Dios mio, esos reporteros tienen los ojos locos sobre el futbol!

God, this is depressing. I really need a nine-diaper Republican sex scandal to perk me up.

2:30 ET Saturday? Hmmm, wonder if Ma Nabisco will allow me to leave the teevee on…

Does anyone else have “active avoidance syndrome” going on with the spill? Maybe it’s being overseas, but as infuriated as I am with the event and the consequences, I find myself avoiding the oily details. I distract myself with Sport and other nonsense….

@Nabisco:

(fingers firmly in ears)

Lalala lalala lalala

When people say how horrible it is that this happened, the best response from me is a Pollyanna-ish “since what happened?”

@Nabisco: Landscaping. Work. Fun with kid. Holding hands with Mrs RML when out for a walk at lunch.

@Nabisco: Nope. Not at all. Surfrider won’t let me. My family in NOLA won’t let me. I won’t let myself avoid it. I’m going to be TRULY BUMMED if no one shows up in AC on Saturday.

Try keeping the TV on, and please let us know how that goes. Brass band, indeed.

The mountain lion cub makes me happy. And one day it will grow up big and strong and maul someone living in the ecotone. :-D

Another Cheney mess – watching Gasland right now, and it’s another sign we’ll be extinct in a few decades.

@blogenfreude: If you “like” Gasland on FB, you’ll get ads for some site that claims to debunk the documentary.

@JNOV: brought to you by Halliburton!

@blogenfreude: We are officially on the endangered species list. I thought it was going to be global warming, instead it’s the ocean dying. And once the ocean dies…

Oh, and this is not Obama’s Katrina. This is Obama’s Iran Hostage Crisis.

Stinquers, at least the ones with broadband, do take a second to download the large version of this image and scroll all the way south.

It really is an apocalypse. Everything should be postponed until this is fixed.

@JNOV: “So long, and thanks for all the fish.”

@FlyingChainSaw: The definition of “broadband” here apparently includes “throw a couple more hamsters on the wheel, Rajiv”, but I’ll shower and shave while it downloads.

@JNOV: Now, don’t be expecting any post parade reports.

@Mistress Cynica: Yep.

@Nabisco: Look. You can’t crow about how you’re going to get some nookie and then act all coy. Pfft. You announced your intentions, sir. We’re just here to keep you honest.

@FlyingChainSaw: Do you know when that was taken? I’m putting together an album of oil spills on FB.

@JNOV: Oh. Can I blame it on the drank? (checks time stamp). Nope.

@JNOV: You just said the truest words. Its his Iran hostage crisis.

TJ, I am putting a call out for Baked, our resident amatuer pharmacist, I was idling away the day doing some internet research on the recreational potential of some of my old prescriptions, and I found out I am sitting on a gold mine. When my back was in crisis mode, one of my docs gave me a prescription for these pretty light blue pills. I only took maybe 5 of the 30. I looked this drug up on the degenerate opiate afficionado websites, and I found out that I am in possession of the holy grail. The gist of what I learned, this is the best drug on earth, its the only drug that can get long time heroin addicts off. It leaves oxycontin in the dust. Nothing compares, the old addicts all say. Wow.

@Promnight: How old are they? Drugs break down over time, and you might do yourself some major damage.

@Promnight:

Do you take PayPal?

@JNOV: I got them in March, he he.@Original Andrew: I read that the street price is $40 per pill.

I am curious, of course, but the thing is, you have to alter the method you take them, for the nirvana effect. The deal is, this drug, taken orally, has a 10% absorption rate, only 10% of the dose is taken into the bloodstream via the digestive tract, I never felt nirvana, taking them as prescribed. And the vast majority of prescriptions for this stuff are for an extended-release version, in which the opiate is bound with some junk, which makes it impossible to even fuck with, you can’t grind it and snort it, or dissolve it and inject it, not that I have ever done any of those things with anything. But what I have is the instant release variety, thats why its the holy grail. Just grind it, and snort it, and be careful, only a tiny amount, and its said to be the ne plus ultra.

@Dodgerblue: Nail their tuchus and their testes to the wall, Dodger. Earthjustice is hiring attorneys in Ess Eff, I’m seriously considering applying if it means I can spend the next ten years litigating those motherfuckers to death.

@Mistress Cynica: It’s been a while since we had a Republican sex scandal. From your lips to the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s ears.

@Promnight: Como se llama la pastilla?

/watching replay of US-Algeria on Univision. Just as nervewracking as 12 hours ago. Now getting drunk while Nabisco works – I love how the sun never sets on Stinque.

Now for something completely different. An old friend sent me a link to a TV news report of an amazing whale sighting, just right off a local beach. Here is the link: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid51723707001?bctid=97813822001

Its too good to be true. But I believed, and just an hour ago, I sent the link to the Mrs., and she was deeply sceptical, and I was disappointed in her. She went to work reseraching, here is what she found, the dude who took the pics is a professional special effects artist, here is the reference to him that she found: http://www.digitalintent.com/film.html

I think she just exposed a fraud. Remind me never to try to fool her.

@SanFranLefty: Se llama “opana.” instant release, not extended release, lots of warnings of overdose if you try to mess around with the extended release variety.

@Dodgerblue: <3

@Promnight:

My mom had some like hysterectomy surgery last year, and she had an entire bottle left over of the best technicolored brain candy the FSM ever invented.

Do you know that she had the gall to refuse to mail it to me?! Her own son. Something about it being a felony to mail opiates across state lines to third parties. The nerve! And she didn’t even want them.

@Promnight: Just have a martini. Don’t snort your dope.

One of the more humorous aspects of the Drug War, if there could be such a thing, is when the gummit liars blabber on and on about how many tons of pot and coke they round up every day, like it makes any difference in the world. As. If.

The market for legal prescription drugs is like a 1,000 times larger and almost as profitable (not that I would know, of course). It’s like the difference between the stock market and the bond market in scope and effect. Sure stocks are all sexy sexy with the wild highs and roller coaster lows, but it’s the bonds that get you through the day-to-day.

@Promnight: I love opiates, but I would not ever never no never snort Tramadol. No, no, no!

@SanFranLefty: FASTER, LEFTY! KILL! KILL!

@JNOV: No idea. There may be EXIF data if you load it into a dedicated photo viewing application.

@Promnight: Save some for the August raft party, dude. And shoot me an e-missive with the brand name and or generic, I’ll check with Dx. Rajiv.

@Original Andrew: Ditto on the technicolor brain candy, OA. Some things they have at the local chemist, some things no. Worth checking!

@Nabisco: Oh, please tell Dx. Rajiv that Den Mother needs some feelgood. And I’m not talking about Mr. SFL’s fingers.

@Promnight:
at your service…are you talking about the blessed Fiorocet? those light blue life savers that transport you to regaining the will to live?

@Original Andrew:
pay pal…+1 !

@Nabisco: Oxymorphone. Its relatively rare, it was oulawed back in 1972, it was that good, they made it illegal, it was only approved again recently. Said to be better than H itself.

@Prommie: I got amazing stuff from the hospice for my mother who spent her final weeks stoned out of her mind. I think the stuff I got for her was Oxymorphone in liquid form. They were at the house within 25 mins of her death to collect the leftovers. I’m scared to take stuff like that recreationally. Though I hear that half a Fiorocet with a nice glass of Chablis can do a lot to brighten one’s day.
