9. Could Brazil help?

read this post on TOD and wonder.....


".....And since all of the privately-owned oil companies, from Exxon to Shell to Chevron, don’t have any incentive, much less any desire, to help BP put a stop to the oil gusher in the Gulf, that leaves the publicly-owned companies, mostly ones from the BRIC countries, to step in and fill their shoes. And because Brazil’s Petrobras is one of the world’s leaders when it comes to drilling for oil in ultra-deep water, this giant oil company from Brazil most likely knows the most about how to stop oil from gushing out of a wellhead that’s 5,000 ft underwater. But now that Obama has snubbed Brazil’s tripartite agreement with Turkey and Iran that would allow Iran to hand over a large part of its low-enriched uranium stockpile in exchange for a much smaller quantity of slightly higher enriched uranium, enabling Iran to produce medical isotopes, don’t be too surprised if Brazilian President, Lula da Silva, snubs Obama back by refusing to help us out in the Gulf."

(sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread)

[olegramps]

51. "Medical isotopes?" Is that the new name for "nucler" bombs?

[4_TN_TITANS]

10. That Medea Benjamin sure gets around.

I'd do more stuff like that too if I wasn't chained to a job.

edit: thank goodness someone has the time and resources to keep up the fight!

[BrklynLiberal]

12. I love Code Pink...and am in awe of Medea Benjamin!!

She always puts herself on the front...puts her "money" where her mouth is...

Codepink activists lie on the sidewalk while staging a demonstration calling for British Petroleum to clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, during a protest outside BP Plc's corporate headquarters building in Houston May 24, 2010. The U.S. government piled pressure on BP to clean up a "massive environmental mess" in the Gulf of Mexico amid growing anger at the oil giant's failure to contain a five-week-old oil spill. The company insisted it was doing all it could to try to shut off a blown-out oil well spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons (liters) of oil into the Gulf every day.

38. There they go again, embarrassing the Party with their antics and radicalism.

Why can't they just get used to it?




























:sarcasm:
:kick: & R

[RandomThoughts]

39. Never get used to something unacceptable.

Stand for what you believe, while learning. And if there is value in the other side of the argument you will learn and change if it is correct, if your view is correct they will learn or they will be defeated if they are wrong and can not change. All it takes is for people to stand for what is correct.

Although the oil spill is just a small part of many problems that need to be addressed.

[paparush]

40. I love these brave women! nt

[blondeatlast]

66. If you couldn't see, would you know ther difference? I'm no CP fan,

but seriously, could you?

[valerief]

69. The difference between a member of Congress and an ass? No, I wouldn't. Wait!

The ass would be less stubborn.

[blindpig]

46. That's well and good, but do you think they take that seriously?

Rather tens of thousands with torches and pitchforks howling for redress.

Ya'll ready?
