10 Things You Need (But Don’t Want) To Know About the BP Oil Spill

(AlterNet) – It’s been 37 days since BP’s offshore oil rig, Deepwater Horizon, exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Since then, crude oil has been hemorrhaging into ocean waters and wreaking unknown havoc on our ecosystem — unknown because there is no accurate estimate of how many barrels of oil are contaminating the Gulf.

Though BP officially admits to only a few thousand barrels spilled each day, expert estimates peg the damage at 60,000 barrels or over 2.5 million gallons daily. (Perhaps we’d know more if BP hadn’t barred independent engineers from inspecting the breach.) Measures to quell the gusher have proved lackluster at best, and unlike the country’s last big oil spill — Exxon-Valdez in 1989 — the oil is coming from the ground, not a tanker, so we have no idea how much more oil could continue to pollute the Gulf’s waters.

Video: Al Gore Runs Away from O’Reilly Factor’s Jesse Waters when Ambushed with Questions on Global Warming

(AssociatedContent) – Al Gore—the legend in his own mind…the man who supposedly invented the internet and whose life was apparently the basis of Love Story’s central male character—ran away from O’Reilly Factor cameras when Factor producer Jesse Waters ambushed him in such gentle fashion right before Gore was due to give a speech at Duke University on April 8. Prissily declaring that he was “not doing an interview right now” and emphatically stating, “I’m having lunch!” the former VP did all he could to run away from Factor cameras as he snaked his way through hallways, dining rooms and the lobby of what looked to be a hotel. Kudos to Jesse Waters for dutifully staying on the slippery Al Gore and peppering him with question after question on the hoax known as global warming, from which Gore makes a lot of personal profit.

Independence, Interdependence and HUMANITY

“It appears as though the Israeli government is drilling for natural gas in the buffer zone. That gas belongs to the people of Gaza. It seems to be one of their reasons for stopping us, perhaps they’re worried that we may go back and tell the world what we have seen.”
