The Sky is Falling
The sky fell down
Upon the earth
All was level
Crushed and hurt
And when Chicken Little
Tried to stand
There was no space
between sky and land.
And one other point
Important to make
Chicken little
Was flat - a pancake.

My Turn: The Post Covers Spy Town (The Atlantic)- With Pictures
Posted on July 22, 2010 by Tim Shorrock
"To be sure, the Post did the public a huge favor by showing, in excruciating detail, just how massive our secret government has become since 9/11, how far it spreads geographically across the country, and how many citizens are involved in its highly classified work: 854,00 people, or 1.5 times the size of DC. In fact, its reporting on the sheer size of the security monolith made the lead-off story one of its best of the year. Plus it was intriguing to learn all that insider stuff, such as the existence of “Super Users” at the Pentagon — a highly select few with access to all black programs in the military — and to read one of them comment that he won’t “live long enough to be briefed on everything.”
But the Post should have stopped after Part One and given it a rest. Looking beyond the numbers and the choice quotes from Bob Gates, Leon Panetta and other high-ranking officials, the series is filled with the most pedestrian of reporting and reveals very little that is actually new about the privatized part of our national security state. It ended on Wednesday with an acutely boring piece about secret installations around DC that could have appeared in the real estate section (and will certainly not impress the Pulitzer judges looking for context and meaning). And when it came to reporting on intelligence contractors, the Post did not advance the story one iota. Indeed, I’m shocked at the paucity of new information and anecdotes."

Alex Jones Film Obama Deception.
Deeply has no opinion on this as he has not watched it fully. Is it kookville or not? Need to watch to determine... if you have the time. Anyway... for those of you interested here is a link.
Oil Leaking from seabed and why
NEW ORLEANS July 19, 2010, 07:20 am ET -NPR
"The federal government's point man for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill says he's authorized BP to keep the cap on its busted well for another 24 hours after the company pledged to closely monitor the seafloor for signs of a new leak.
In a statement issued Monday, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen says a federal science team held a conference call with BP representatives Sunday night. He says the scientists got answers they wanted about how BP is monitoring the seabed in case any new leaks erupt from the capped well.
Allen had written BP the day before to say a seep had been detected a distance from the well and demanded BP step up monitoring of the seabed.
Allen says in his Monday statement he'll only allow the cap to stay on if BP continues meeting its obligations to watch for signs that it could possibly worsen the situation."

Obama Doomed- Likely
"It's the economy Stupid", this is Carville's famous slogan from Bill Clinton's run for the presidency in 1992. It was and with this slogan, awareness and the generous help of Ross Perout, Bubba won.
Today it is still The economy stupid... and as usual Deeply agrees with economist Paul Krugman.
"What I expect, instead, if and when the midterms go badly, is that the usual suspects will say that it was because Mr. Obama was too liberal — when his real mistake was doing too little to create jobs."
But in addition to Krugman Deeply adds, Obummer has been anemic on all fronts, half assed is the word. It is not because he is too liberal, but because he isn't. In fact he is more conservative than Tricky Dick... and all criminality aside, not near as effective or purposeful.. A mouth with no substance. Obummer La Bouche.

Learn about Methane Hydrates
Were Methane Hydrates the cause of the BP Deepwater well explosion
The vast deepwater methane hydrate deposits of the Gulf of Mexico are an open secret in big energy circles. They represent the most tantalizing new frontier of unconventional energy — a potential source of hydrocarbon fuel thought to be twice as large as all the petroleum deposits ever known.
For the oil and gas industry, the substances are also known to be the primary hazard when drilling for deepwater oil.
Apparently there is enough of this compound off the shores of South Carolina alone to power the USA for at least a hundred years. The problem, the greenhouse gas emmisions could be immense. Deeply knew nothing about this.. Read, learn.. The Future Beckons. at Oil Be Seeing You
But First Read This - Methane Hydrates- Energy's Most DangerousGame

Tiger Woods Stands Up New Putter For British Open
Tiger Woods after swiving/ putting his way into oblivion with his many bimbettes has taken a new putter to the British Open. And Aren't the British Tabloids having fun.
Quoting Tiger's Caddy.
'The one part of Tiger's game that has been very sub-standard is his putting. He hasn't putted well in any of the events this year. The key to playing well at St Andrews is putting.'

Hope may be again fading at BP's gusher
Deeply and everyone else, unless they are perverse and just sold Bp short-er, must have been hoping for the cap. The end of the gusher. As Thad Allan said yesterday "capped by next Monday". Oops... it appears or at least it sounds now that this is unlikely. Why, because new concerns have surfaced ( just like the oil) that there may be big trouble in river city, down deep, deep, deep below the surface. Capping the well may do what was predicted months ago, just send the oil spewing through flaws and cracks in the system, in the hole, beneath the sea.. somewhere else.
ABOARD THE RESOLUTE, 40 miles off Louisiana — Workers on surface ships continued to flare gas and oil on Tuesday at the site of BP’s runaway well in the Gulf of Mexico, as officials announced that a critical pressure test on the well would be postponed, pending further analysis.
BP said further analysis must be done Wednesday before critical tests could proceed.
No explanation was given for the decision, and no date was set for when testing would begin on the new, tighter-fitting cap BP installed on the blown-out well Monday.
One might ask who is running this farce... Obummer, Allen or BP. First we are assured, then success is predicted, apparently no one did these further tests first.. Makes you wonder doesn't it... what was the goal.. Stock manipulation, conning Obummer, Obummer conning you. Bp conning everyone. Too many Cons and not enough courage. The Big Barrel of Courage think that stupid novel by Stephen Crane.

The Corn is as High.....And Now we are Turning it into Kitty Litter
As an Elephant's eye sings Curly in the Musical Oklahoma, as he celebrates the new state Oklahoma. The bread basket of the world, US.. the good old US of A... we are rich with food, or at least we have been since the dustbowl. There you go Oklahoma.. again. See the opening words of The Grapes of Wrath. the second paragraph.
Gophers and ant lions started small avalanches. And as the
sharp sun struck day after day, the leaves of the young corn became
less stiff and erect; they bent in a curve at first, and then, as
the central ribs of strength grew weak, each leaf tilted downward.
Then it was June, and the sun shone more fiercely. The brown lines
on the corn leaves widened and moved in on the central ribs. The weeds
frayed and edged back toward their roots. The air was thin and the sky
more pale; and every day the earth paled.
We have not always been so wealthy, and currently famine and lousy harvests hang on the fringes of Texas agriculture about to spread. So how is it that burdening the cause of Green is scoopable, biodegradable Kitty Litter... made from FOOD, as in corn.
Hello --people in the world are starving. Over one billion on the planet are hungry, suffering from malnutrition and this as predictions say that food prices are on the way up. Why, limited supply and the possibility of UG99 wheat rust wiping out as much as 80% of worldwide wheat crops as it spreads from Eastern Africa.. Yikes that is a lot of malnutrition. So only a nation of affluent idiots would be turning their corn crop into ethanol and Kitty Litter.
That's right folks, Kitty Litter, biodegradable, scoopable, glorious green Kitty Litter. Let them eat cat shit, to paraphrase Antoinette. It is bad enough that we are limiting the world's corn supply by turning it into fuel for our machines with the manufacture of ethanol... another great scam. But to soak up Cat Shit... Now that is enough to make you Fury.
Yes we are so rich that our self indulgent do gooders will let their cats defecate into what might be corn flakes. Muffins, Tortillas etc.

Bp says it will soon shut down well.
Soon, in the next forty-eight hours Bp says it will be able to close down the well. If all holds tight and all goes according to plan...We sure hope so.

Chelsea Clinton to Marry into Crime Family
You won't believe this. But it gives one an insight into the Universal Con that is America. How politics work, who runs what, and how money is the master.
Chelsea Clinton is about to Marry into a family of Jewish criminals.. They were friends of Bill and Hilary's when he was president. The grooms father, former congressman Ed Mezvinsky, from Iowa, was into Nigerian Money scams and went to jail for eight years ( we wonder how long he served), His mother was also a Congress woman. The Big question is will Chelsea convert. Now is this a coversion to Judaism or a conversion to suspect morality.
Criminal news of Ed Mezvinsky "He was always looking for the home run. He was always trying to find the business deal that would make him as wealthy as all the people in his social circle," said Zauzmer. Business Deal in this case means fleecing friends so he could do more scams.
Yet you hear Bill Clinton praising the high ethics of his new son in law.. Calliing the kettle Black ---Do You Think?
