		<description><![CDATA[Oil continues to spew into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate that is more than alarming. Is there an end in sight? Nothing so far has had any real effect at stemming the flow. BP and other major league oil companies continue to come up with costly plans to bring an end to the disaster while the wetlands, beaches, fish and wildlife are sent into extinction. The blame game has been going on for some time now. The US government, British Petroleum, the Rig’s owner .. they are all blaming each other. But at this point in the game placing the blame won’t stem the flow of oil. &#160; B.P. has promised to clean every last drop of oil from the leak and make everything whole. Call me a pessimist, but I am waiting to see how long it takes for BP to throw it’s hands in the air and walk away from this disaster leaving it to the US to clean up. Of course the US federal government is being pressured to take charge of the situation now. That would be just the excuse BP would need to make their exit. I wonder if oil/oil money could be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Drill Baby Drill” was the battle cry of John McCain, Sarah Palin and the Republicans during the Presidential election of 2008. I haven’t heard that battle cry for over a week now. Perhaps they are all down on the Louisiana coast line helping with the worst oil spill in the history of mankind …… but somehow I doubt it. After a life time of trying to protect the environment, David Susuki must be devastated by the recent events in the Gulf of Mexico. After more than 40  years of gradual progress in slowing pollution, becoming more “Eco friendly” and recycling everything we can get our hands on in an effort to save the planet we should all feel devastated. British Petroleum has put the coast line of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida on a course of no return and total destruction. It appears that once again man’s unquenchable thirst for energy has caused the eco system to be shattered and untold millions upon millions of animals and plant life to be snuffed from existence. At the time of this writing, the oil is still pouring at a rate of 5,000 barrels a day into the warm waters of the Gulf [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every now and again a person appears on the scene who is so arrogant, self centred and mean spirited that they make “Evil” sound like a good thing to be. Ann Hart Coulter is one of those people. Born in New York City on December 8th 1961, Ann got educated and pissed off at the world all at the same time. Ann despises anyone politically left of Ronald Reagan, any religion other than Christianity, any Country other than the USA, and any skin colour other than white. Ann loves to ridicule people with less means than her, with less privilege than her and has absolutely no compassion towards anyone who is not in a position to do something for her. Ann Coulter has shown distain for the men and women who maintain the freedom that allows her to be such a bitch, she was fired from MSNBC when she told the president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, himself a disabled Vietnam veteran, &#8220;No wonder you guys lost.&#8221; She was fired from the conservative National Review when she turned in a column offering a final solution to the Muslim problem: &#8220;We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For travellers to the States, when trying to get gas at a service station, and the pump asks for your zip code, and you are frustrated with having to go in and pay cash or leave your credit card at the counter, the following works with a Visa credit card and probably will with others. Take your postal code, delete the letters, use the numbers only and add two zeros to the end and enter it as a 5 digit zip code. Example: Our Postal code T5A 4J3, converts to 54300.  Works everywhere I tried it.  You might want to pass this on to anyone going south.  (Most useful in California, Arizona and New Mexico.) I thank the gas attendant at a Safeway gas  station  in Casa Grande, AZ for this info. Share on Facebook]]></description>
