A Few Things To Ponder For The Week of 7-16-10

This week there are a few quick thoughts I wanted to share:
1. For the last 87 days BP has been using robots to try and cap an oil leak that is 5000 feet below the ocean. It seem to me that there is a government agency that has a lot of experience using robots millions of miles away. Did they contact these experts to see if they help? Oh sorry I forgot that NASA is busy helping the Muslim nations feel better about themselves.


2. If NBPP and KKK members show up to watch the polls around the nation then who do you think will be prosecuted? If only the KKK is involved in voter intimidation in November will the AG drop the charges? The precedent has been set in the NBPP case. The Democrat Party seems to care about precedent more than the actual law, so it would seem that voter intimidation is no long a major offence. I hope we don't find out, but with the precedent set, no one knows for sure.

3. Now that the oil spill in the gulf has been capped, we can expect that the news media will no longer cover the cleanup. Will the government continue to stand in the way of drilling or will they wait until all the rigs leave for Brazil and then announce that the moratorium has been lifted?

4. Is there anything sadder than an organization that has outlived its usefulness and has to pick fights to gain attention.

5. I wonder if people were hoping that with the economic downturn and the spill in the gulf, gas prices would have skyrocketed and fewer people would be vacationing this summer. Why do you suppose gas prices are stable and people are driving more?
Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think.
