Japan Quake Fallout Shows US Severely Endangered By President Obama’s Nuclear Lies and Dems’ Abandonment of Clean Energy

Japan Quake Fallout Shows US Severely Endangered By President Obama’s Nuclear Lies and Dems’ Abandonment of Clean Energy — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)

(What kind of a show job –?! I mean who? or how could somebody talk Japan as a country into heavily relying on/investing in Nuclear installments, after Japan’s unwanted experiments with Nuclear Fallout in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Seems stupid, doesn’t it? Look in the mirror.)

Today on MSNBC’s morning news show, former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough (“Joe the Dumb Guy” who replaced “Tucker the Dumb Guy” [McCain campaign personality Tucker Carlson] – on the show now titled “Morning Joe”) encouraged unthinking people to believe President Obama’s frequent lies about the Global Warming forced by Nuclear Energy usage. In the midst of horrific details on explosions and leakages at Japanese Nuclear Power plants, a talking head reminded us that we “still need it,” because it [Nuclear Energy] “has no carbon footprint.”

This is what you call a “lie of omission.” For, though Nuclear Energy does not leave a carbon footprint like Oil and Coal, it does leave a terrible Global Warming footprint from its Nitrous Oxide emissions. Nitrous Oxide (N2O) warms our air 310 times as badly as CO2, pound-for-pound. Energy investors profit if voters think that Nuclear Energy impacts climate much less than it actually does. And the Republicrat brand profits if the US public is duped into believing the President’s lies about Nuclear safety and lack of Greenhouse consequences from Nuclear Power.

For the umpteenth time: Nuclear Energy is a very dangerous and expensive way to boil water. To attain Nuclear Power, Uranium (sometimes mixed with Plutonium and/or Thorium) is dissolved in Nitric Acid. The resultant hot gases boil water that turns turbines to mechanically produce electricity. The Global Warming gas N2O was already emitted during the production of the Nitric Acid, long before the Nuclear Reaction that the acid facilitates.

Even the President’s own EPA (which lyingly categorizes both Nuclear Power and Coal as “Clean Energy”) cites Nitric Acid production as the third most prolific cause of N2O pollution, after Nitrogen Fertilizers and burning fossil fuels. Yet the President says Nuclear Energy is safe and it causes no Global Warming.

But remember what President Pinocchio said about Oil spills, and how we don’t have them any more, just days before the BP disaster. Then he allowed massive for-profit spraying of toxic dispersants, which will poison our lands, our waters, and our air for untold decades. He proclaimed Mission Accomplished, meanwhile lying about appointing an impartial decision-maker to get “fair” money to people whose livelihoods were ruined by the BP Oil disaster.

That man, whom President Bushbama claimed was impartial, was proven to be taking money from … guess who. His “fair” deals included paying desperate people off with one-and-a-half years’ worth of income for a business that had been in their family four generations.

Then Pinocchio’s FDA claimed that Gulf seafood was completely safe to eat, even though it never had been before, and even though the petroleum couldn’t have helped to make it safe. He claimed to be eating the tainted food himself, and he used his own children in a photo op to trick people into thinking that it was safe to swim in the Gulf. The photographer later revealed that the President’s children were never actually in the Gulf waters in the photographs. To top it all off, the EPA started P-ing on us again, claiming that the Oil is gone.

And some Democrats are screaming ‘What else can we do?!’ You mean: What else, instead of heating up the globe to the breaking point? Instead of endangering the public with danger Nukes? Instead of lying that it’s safe? Instead of sending in mercenaries to help Obama’s thugs murder democracy activitsts in the slave-state Bahrain? What else can we do?

You can do what I did. You can quit the Democratic Party. I was a lifelong Democrat until recently. But now, as far as I can tell, the Democratic Party stands for:

1. Torture;

2. Covering Up Torture;

3. Kangaroo Kourts wherein Tortured defendants plead Guilty to what they confessed while being Tortured (even though in legitimate trials with competent counsel in the US, defendents never plead Guilty);

4. Protecting Middle Eastern dictators’ Oil products and the routes thereto by having the US 5th Fleet of Cowards impose slavery on 56% of the people in Bahrain;

5.Hiring mercenaries to murder people who push for democracy in Bahrain;

6. Lying about how we get our energy, and about how safe and how clean it is.

That’s what it means to be a Democrat in today’s world. In modern society, no one would confuse an American Democrat with a real small-d democrat.

New Orleans Judge Rules that Obama, Ken Feinberg & BP Lied about KF’s “Neutrality,” Orders KF & BP to Stop Lying — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)

Obviously, Ken Feinberg has been serving BP ever since President Obama appointed him to supposedly serve the people. Anyone who believed he was neutral was hopelessly naive, or not paying attention. Here’s what was true then, and it’s true now: BP stands for “Bribed Politicians.” The important difference between my article & headline, and the one below, is that mine reminds readers that another liar was involved.

The Daily Machine:

Finale from Protest PG the Rock Opera: O, President Pinocchio — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)

O, President Pinocchio, how can all the Oil be gone?

No, President Pinocchio, we won’t be eating Oily prawn.

You even let your own kids play in that toxic Oil,

But if they’d dig in the beach sand, they’d strike Oil before they hit soil.

(4)

O, President Pinocchio, you let banksters write bank law.

Drug companies and Insurance thieves, well, they surely do thank ya.

O, President Pinocchio, the American people are rugged,

But it really gets us down in the dumps when our leaders are so crooked.

(8)

O, President Pinocchio, superstitious worse than Reagan,

You sold the whole world out at Copenhagen.

What you did is gonna scorch the Earth and heat up Africa like a fire.

Iran, Sudan, an’ China spoke sense there, then, our holocaust denier.

(12)

O, President Pinocchio, our climate holocaust denier,

O, President Pinocchio, our chief executive liar:

Clean coal! Clean nukes!” What’s next! Clean Oil? Clean dirt? Clean poo?!

You sir have betrayed the poor people who voted for you.

(16)

Bribe taker. War monger. Stooge. Shill. Sell-out. Crook. Corporate lackey.

The honored US Military is dressed in baby blood and khaki.

You’d not’ve got a goddam vote if you hadn’t lied,

If you’d told us you want private armies and Pashtun Genocide.

(20)

You don’t need a rocket launcher to fight a little spider,

Or a hundred thousand Americans to fight ten guys from Al-Qaida.

Don’t you know that folks’ll catch on the this ridiculous sham?!

And that corporate corrupt nonsense, your Filibuster scam?!

(24)

Remember: Republicans were in just two years ago, and a majority then took fifty,

So we know you’re lying when you tell us now that a majority takes sixty.

It’s a lie. It’s a theft. It’s corrupt. It’s ridiculous. It’s despicable and downright disgraceful,

And you’re throwing billions at Robert Gates, the Secretary of Wasteful!

(28)

You fired over one thousand people just because they’re gay,

And hey! O, Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?

You betrayed the pot smokers voting for you, and what’s worse:

You betrayed everybody; America has buyer’s remorse.

(32)

Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?

Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?

Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?

Hey! Prez Pinnoke, hey, hey! How many kids did you kill today?

(36)

line  footnote

1   On the same day that President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency announced that the BP-Deepwater Horizon-Halliburton Gulf of Mexico Oil spill was gone …

2   … his Food and Drug Administration announced that Gulf of Mexico seafood was safe to eat.

6   Drug companies and Insurance thieves are the middlemen whom all of the healthcare money goes to instead of going to health.

28   Oil investor and US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. The US Military is the world’s leading purchaser of Oil, so the more wars and trouble and waste Gates can cause, the more money he and his fellow investor, Mideast “Peace” Envoy George Mitchell, whose business partner was convicted of Bribery of Azerbaijani officials trying to get their Oil. Gates and Mitchell have Conflicts of Interest: If they didn’t find more war and strife, they’d make less money.

Food Activist Censored By BP’s Christiane Amanpour Show

8:08 am in Uncategorized by normanb

Food Activist Censored By BP’s Christiane Amanpour Show — by NormanB

The show has very little credibility as far as I’m concerned. Sponsored by BP.

First segment: Two gut-the-education-establishment ideologues (Bizarro Education Secretary Arne Duncan & DC Public Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee) supporting the Obama Administration’s plan to fire thousands of teachers and put profiteers in charge, ganged up against American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten. Sleazy Chicago "education" profiteers who helped pay for Obama’s campaign must be overjoyed.

Second segment censored: English nutrition activist Jamie Oliver explained how England changed school lunches and improved national health by changing standards, but ABC censored his words. He gave examples, beginning with the improvements forced on McDonald’s: He got as far as mentioning free-range eggs, then, in mid-response, he was replaced by 30 seconds of a commercial. His face reappeared on the screen just as his response ended.

Round-table segment: Amanpour and her guests discussed the fictional "Recovery." The show’s propaganda headline specifically touted "Recovery." BP must have been pleased that the panel avoided talking about the Oil spill or climate. Obviously the panel couldn’t speak on the economy, since they were pretending "Recovery."

It reminds me of the late-1980s supposed "Recovery" late in the Reagan Administration: Every day, most news reports told us that the "Recovery" was going well, and that we would begin to feel effects of the "Recovery" in a few months.

For BP’s segment, the Oil company spokesperson claimed that BP is in there helping the Gulf "Recovery" for the long haul. But the truth is that BP is fighting against reimbursemenmt, retribution, "Recovery" and reconstruction tooth and nail. Its money dispersor, appointed by BP Rep. Barack Obama, Rip-off Czar Ken Feinberg, announced that his formula includes paying people who permanently lost an ancestral business about one-and-one-half years’ worth of income. Their family owned it for generations, it’s taken away forever. One-and-one-half-years’ worth oughtta do it!

The Ballad of April 19th 2010

The Ballad of April 19th/ Our 19th Nervous Blow Out
–by Rachel Neulander

(Sung to the tune of O My Darling Clementine)

Deepwater Deepwater
the Horizon is gray
and the seafloor is bleeding
on this historic day

Stop the presses stop the presses
just how long will this thing take?
where is Cupid? where’s Allfather?*
there’s a lot of dough at stake

Call the lawyer call the lawyer
Halliburton on the line
put cement man on the witness stand
he’ll be coached but just in time

He’ll admit that safety standards
weren’t exactly up to snuff
if he means yes stammer "Not-No!"
*Might have meant yes, where’s the proof?

He was sitting at the monitor
thought the plug was working fine
he was e-mailing his mother
just to while away the time

On the seafloor pressure building
mixing elements volatile
caused a rent unprecedented
spewing oil for many miles

Run a tape loop run a tape loop
it’ll lull em back to sleep
keep away the damn photographers
we dont want the truth to seep

Get the truth out to the people
cry the fishers of the gulf
we won’t sell you Bloody Poisoned
Oysters Rockefeller it’s enough

And they’re sitting on the money
should’ve been for doing this right
what they’re doing isnt righteous
isn’t fair and isn’t right

We gotta fight em we gotta fight em
we gotta get the truth we got a fight
for our people
for our planet
time is short

now

good night!

Inspired by MAD Mothers Against Disasters

* I watched a Halliburton cementer testifying today on C-Span2. He was on duty at the monitors when BP’s Deepwater Horizon Oil rig blew. He stuttered and wavered and, with some reluctance gave the names of his superiors on the project. I may not be spelling those names accurately, (the live feed broadcast is still on, too fresh, so I can’t obtain a text version yet to check, but I know what it sounded like he said and you can’t make this stuff up. It would seem Homer, or Homer Simpson rather, was on the watch April 19th, when the rig began to spew, with Cupid, the Roman God of Love, and Odin, the Norse Allfather, as his project bosses. All were cheerfully oblivious and/or vaguely aware of the dangers yet nonchalant about the safety and advisability of their project. The cement guy at the monitors didn’t think there were any problems with the pour, he thought it was going just fine. D’oh! Imagine his surprise.

Obama Declines Making BP Pay, Picks Betrayer of 9/11 Families to Push Gulf Families Around

1:22 am in Uncategorized by normanb

Obama Declines Making BP Pay, Picks Betrayer of 9/11 Families to Push Gulf Families Around — by NormanB ("Deviations from the Norm")

Kenneth Feinberg took 33 months for the 9/11 payout, and prevented 3% of the families from getting anything. He was appointed by far-right Republican John Ashcroft. Many families said Feinberg’s forces pressured them to sign agreements or get nothing.

Remember: The 9/11 rescuers faced extremely toxic conditions, which the Government claimed were OK, just as BP now prevents clean-up workers from wearing protective gear and respirators. Many of these people are already sick. Many will likely die of cancer and respiratory distress from helping clean up. Maybe BP should pay some of those health costs, and for the workers’ funerals if necessary.

That $20 billion is INSTEAD of seizing all of BP’s assets to hire the millions of workers needed 8 weeks ago to keep Oil off the shores and to clean up the spill. If that BP $20 billion offer were true, we could hire one million workers right away, but BP won’t finish paying that $20 billion for 3 years. So, 3 years from now we can hire the million workers we needed 8 weeks ago, but then we’ll be completely out of assets from BP. We will have brought in no new ships or equipment or expertise.

$20 billion dollars is one-and-a-half cents apiece to Americans for what they lost in this Gulf disaster. Is that what each of you figures you lost? Is 1.5 cents about how much your portion of the Gulf shore was worth? And what about the citizens who lived in beach communities, the land owners and business owners, and the people who worked there? And the families whose generations-old businesses are now sunk? $0.015 sound good to you? How about the people who used to eat seafood from the oyster beds permanently destroyed by poisonous dispersant sprayed to make the Oil slicks sink so they won’t look so bad on the surface. I bet a penny-and-a-half’ll satisfy’em.

So if we get the $20 billion today, we can get ready to start the clean-up by hiring the one million workers we needed 8 weeks ago. We’ll still need them long after the first year, but that $20 billion will be gone immediately, as soon as we hire them for a year (@$20,000). Then we need at least $20 billion more to bring the ships, equipment and expertise for the clean-up. But BP won’t have to pay any of that. They don’t even have to finish paying the first $20 billion until 3 years from now. The workers will get $20,000 the first year, and $0 for the rest of their lives.

The spew started 2 months ago. We should start preparing for it to hit the beaches as soon as possible.

BP: Backward Phuture: Obama, Reid, Republicans, Libertarians ALL Pro-GL0Warm, Anti-Science

BP: Backward Phuture: Obama, Reid, Republicans, Libertarians ALL Pro-GL0Warm, Anti-Science — by NormanB ("Deviations from the Norm")

BP: Backward Phuture:
Environmentalists have been proven correct, on both Global Warming and the hazards of the Oil-based economy. Maybe we should do something about it, But Phirst …

BP: Bribed President?
Now President Obama is using the BP disaster to push for the horrible Kerry-Lieberman Climate and Energy Bill. Last night, Rachel Maddow’s brilliant report on MSNBC revealed that unnatural currents stirred up by underwater Oil rig canals destroyed and continue to destroy the barrier wetlands that formerly protected the New Orleans area from storm surges. The drilling strategy embraced by this Bill doesn’t fill in those canals as our country needs, but instead funds more. And Keith Olberman revealed last night on MSNBC that the Obama Administration yesterday approved another offshore drilling proposal with the same inadequate safety equipment that the BP Deepwater Horizon had, without the Norwegian safety equipment that re-injects the Methane into the Earth’s cavity from which it came. That means the Administration intends to let that Methane leak, to warm the atmosphere and toxify the seas. Over 3,000 rigs in the Gulf are leaking that Methane, a major component in the "Natural" Gas that accompanies all Petroleum and Coal deposits. When the Methane leaks under millions of tons of water weight, it is a frozen pressurized slushie that explodes in you pump cement into it, as BP and Halliburton recently showed us.

The Bill also funds "clean coal" which doesn’t exist, but President Obama appeared on TV commercials extolling its virtues when he first became President. It also funds Nuclear Energy in a big way, giving the President a chance to renew his lies about Nukes being "clean energy" that fights Global Warming. In fact, producing Nuclear Energy requires dissolving uranium and plutonium in Nitric Acid, the production of which emits thousands of tons of Nitrous Oxide, a Greenhouse Gas with a Global Warming Potential 310 times as bad as CO2. There are many other frightful pro-Global Warming provisions in the Bill, but I’ll stop here.

With friends like this, who needs enemies? BP may stand for Back Pocket, where the Republicans appear to keep President Obama.

BP: Brainless Politicians?
Harry Reid and other Democrats are proposing an even worse, more anti-scientific pro-GL0Warm Bill, with even more Republican ideas in it.

BP: Bad People?
Not surprising: The Republicans want an even worse Bill, with even more Republican ideas in it.

BP: Bogus Product? Of course, the pure Libertarian take on this issue is to have no environmental laws at all.

Why are all of the above ignoring the Laws of Science and Economics? You don’t have to answer that, if you’re afraid our Bourgeois Proprietors will disapprove. Pay-to-Play politics and the propaganda press are trying to destroy us, to the extent that anthropomorphic inanimate concepts and giant corporations can do that. The BPers above will ‘Bliterate Progress if we let them.

Don’t go Back to the Phlintstones! Change the lightbulb!

How many Greens does it take to change a light bulb?
We can’t let the Greens change the light bulb, because they’ll want us to use those less-familiar twisty things, and then we’ll have to call Poison Control if they ever break.

How many Democrats does it take to change a light bulb?
Sixty.

How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb?
One. Nothing funny about it. Move on.

How many Libertarians does it take to change a light bulb?
It’ll change itself.

How many radical lesbian feminists does it take to change a light bulb?
That’s not funny!

How many Surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?
A fish!

How many Deadheads does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Deadheads don’t screw in light bulbs, they screw in sleeping bags.

How many Trippers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Just two, but how do we get out of here?

How many Rainbow Hippies does it take to change a light bulb?
I don’t want to talk about it; it’s negative energy!

BP War Planes Attack US Coast with Chemical Weapon; Coast Guard Helps Enemy Block Clean-Up

BP War Planes Attack US Coast with Chemical Weapon; Coast Guard Helps Enemy Block Clean-Up — by NormanB ("Deviations from the Norm")

Last week, this column exposed BP’s intentional spill of the deadly chemical weapon Corexit, a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD). Afterward, the US EPA pretended to try to protect the US coast from the WMD. White House press releases lied about the situation, claiming the EPA ordered BP to stop intentionally poisoning US air and water.

BP’s (paraphrased) response came loud and clear. "You’re just the Government: You don’t tell us what to do: We’re BP: We’re Big Oil: We tell you what to do!" BP refused to end its Corexit strafing attacks, which critically worsened the Oil spill. The Corexit attacks dispersed the WMD-and-Oil spill so far that it’s now hitting Florida beaches.

By letting BP continue poisoning our coastal environment with Corexit, the Obama Administration keeps expanding the spill. In the coming weeks, Corexit could kill all coastal marine life on both Florida coasts, and all organisms on the US East coast as far North as Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Because deadly fluoro-chemical Corexit byproducts apparently killed many giant sea turtles and dolphins, environmentalists warn citizens to avoid all US Atlantic and Gulf beaches this summer. (Or is that ‘Avoid them from now on’?)

After BP’s forceful rebuke of Pres. Obama’s public "demand," the President quickly followed BP’s orders and sent the US Coast Guard to help BP cover up its activities in the Gulf. The Coast Guard is keeping scientists, reporters and environmentalists out of the area, as well as would-be sanitation crews trying to clean up the spill with scientifically sound methods. It’s reminiscent of US troops (under Obama) arresting dissident voters and Journalists in Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s "election."

The Obama Administration banned use of hair or fur to mop up the spill, even though modern science tells us that hair is THE one scientifically valid, environmentally clean way of getting Oil out. Hair soaked with Oil is converted to clean-burning fuel via fungi, using the Paul Stamets method. The US generates 300,000 pounds (136,000 kg) of human hair clippings daily. Pet grooming and llama- and sheep-shearing increase that total. But that’s the clean, safe, scientific way. Obama won’t allow it.

Recently Pres. Obama said he wants US students’ science scores to rise. I can see why! But if more people knew more about science, they’d recognize that Obama’s superstitious pro-Global-Warming policies are anti-scientific. As an Illinois state legislator, Obama voted to condemn the Kyoto Accords, FOR BEING TOO PROTECTIVE of the environment. Everyone else reviewing the Kyoto Accords said they were too weak. Oh, I mean everybody except BP, DuPont, fossil fuel marketers, chemicals companies, and their puppets.

Meanwhile, Pres. Obama appointed DuPont executive and Goldman Sachs confidant William K. Reilly, the Texas Oilman, to co-chair the Blue Ribbon Panel supposedly "investigating" the intentional WMD spill disaster. Reilly already made a mint off BP’s fake clean-up. He’s invested in Corexit, the chemical weapon with which BP is bombing US territorial waters. Corexit is manufactured by a DuPont shadow company.

Reilly was part of President Nixon’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the 1970s. After that, he took over the Conservation Foundation, and then the World Wildlife Fund. (Expect WWF to announce that this is a very nice Oil spill, and the wildlife likes it.)

BP appears to be planning another large explosion on Wednesday, when they will pour cement into high-pressured frozen natural gas slush – the same way they created the earlier explosion called "the accident."
(!!UPDATE: THEY’VE ALREADY DONE IT: Last night after I wrote this, TV news reported that BP ships were already on their way to plant the cement bomb. This morning’s news reports say they’ve already done it, and again, intentionally caused gigantic explosions!!)

BP and the US Coast Guard are powerful, but presumably the US Navy and/or the US Air Force can defeat BP and the Guard, by throwing everything they have at them. US fighter jets can at least shoot down the next attack plane before it strafes our waters again. And if we can find out who’s in charge of the Coast Guard, maybe we can convince him to switch over to our side.

Dishonest Filthy-Rich Bloodthirsty Anti-Marijuana Demagogue Graham to “Investigate” Oil Leak

8:43 am in BP oil disaster, Energy by normanb

Dishonest Filthy-Rich Bloodthirsty Anti-Marijuana Demagogue Graham to "Investigate" Oil Leak — NormanB ("Deviations from the Norm")

Oh, Boy! A Panel! A Blue Ribbon Panel! That’ll help a lot.

The video below tells how I really feel about Bloody Bob – followed by its YouTube sidebar and footnotes. First know this: President Obama’s appointment of multi-billionaire Bob Graham, from one of America’s royal families, to head the Oil leak panel is tantamount to saying "We won’t investigate this!"

(Former Senator Graham’s sister-in-law, Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham, was immortalized as an endearing character on Lou Grant, Ed Asner’s realistic 1970s TV series about newspaper Journalism.)

As Governor of Florida, Bob Graham opened up our country’s floodgates for executions. When the entire civilized world agreed that the death penalty was a cruel barbaric relic from the middle ages, he ordered hundreds of people killed for his own political gain.

He ruined thousands of lives over Marijuana. During the Iran-Contra era, military interceptor jets followed a Cocaine-laden plane till it landed on Bob Graham’s South Florida ranch. Jimmy Buffett campaigned for him, and they were of pictured hugging as the election approached. Look at the hypocrisy:

I’m not attacking Jimmy Buffett. I lived in Florida then too, so I know that smuggling Cocaine and shooting it up, like Buffett bragged about on his albums, was right in step with community standards for barefoot poets hanging out on Florida beaches at the time. We all did things like that. But Bob Graham built his career ruining people’s lives for minor drug offenses.

LOOK OUT FOR #1-Norman B-Deviations from the Norm

A little boy wanted to grow up to be *Sinator:
He thought to him another gift now should be gave:
But he’d already had two turns to try at Gove’nor,
An’, boy, did that boy misbehave!

Bloody Bob, he was religious: Went to Mass:
Our most prolific Mass Murderer!
But when Ted Bundy was about t’ catch up to his ass,
He said "I must commit just one more murder!

"I’m about to be caught by Bundy,
So, I am going hunting,
For I want him dead by Mond’y.
I have got to get that man!"

Bob ranted, raved and roared and hooted:
"I’ll have him grabbed and stabbed and shooted,
Or else, burned – electrocuted! -
In Bob’s big blazin’ brazier fryin’ pan!
Yeah! Bobby’s blazin’ brazier fryin’ pan!"

Two demonic dreary dang’rous deadly words
Make up his name: Graham cracker: Bobby Grah’m:
His poison pen packs much more punch than a hundred swords:
Can’t stand the heat? Well, then, get out o’ the fryin’ pan!

"I’m about to be caught by Bundy,
So, I am going hunting,
For I want him dead by Mond’y.
I have got to get that man!"

Bob ranted, raved and roared and hooted:
"I’ll have him grabbed and stabbed and shooted,
Or else, burned – electrocuted! -
In Bob’s big blazin’ brazier fryin’ pan!
Yeah! Bobby’s blazin’ brazier fryin’ pan!"

(p)(c)2008 Norman Schulerud Bie, Jr. All rights reserved. First broadcast in 1986 on WMNF 88.5 FM Tampa Community Radio, in Florida, while Bob Graham was running for US Senator from Florida. First performed live in 1986 at the Songwriters’ Forum at the Ritz Theatre in Ybor City, while Bob Graham was ACTUALLY IN THE BUILDING campaigning. He won the election anyway.

xxxx And Graham’s Governorship continues to ravage the state of Florida to this day! Before his time, the US Supreme Court had banned the death penalty as cruel & unusual punishment. Then Utah wrote a bill to get around the ruling & killed Gary Gilmore by firing squad. The firing squad death sickened the country & the world. Florida Crackers didn’t even think of Utah as a state: More of a colony of inbred group-sex devil-worshipping maniacs. Florida would never have emulated that, and neither would any other state.
xxxx Enter: Bob Graham: Graham defeated Robert Shevin for the Democratic Nomination to become Governor. Attorney General Shevin not only wanted executions, he proposed a "Shoot to Kill Bill!" So, Graham didn’t seem quite as crazy as Shevin.
xxxx But Bob Graham opened the floodgates bringing a deluge of electrocutions in Ol’ Sparky! As soon as Graham started ordering killings, insane self-destructive people poured into Florida to kill as many people as it took to make the state carry out their respective suicides. Then Texas passed a death penalty law skirting the Supreme Court ruling; and insane self-destructive people started flooding Texas. Surveys there of the death-row prisoners found 100% are suicidal. Other states have followed suit, and each state that re-introduced the death penalty has seen its murder rate nearly double. Thank you, Bloody Bob.
xxxx Graham was called a "Liberal" because he was a Democrat from Miami. The fact is, every day he made speeches echoing right-wing President Ronald Reagan. Graham was a disgusting demagogue on the issue of drugs. Bob Graham ruined the lives of millions of peaceful marijuana users. He is a disgrace to the United States.
xxxx Railing against pot-smokers & having them locked up where some were tortured, Graham built his popularity on running a police state, killing the mentally ill & brutalizing drug users. Drug-smuggling planes occasionally landed on the Governor’s South Florida Ranch. They were each quickly explained away as, oh, nothing. Graham often held events with Jimmy Buffett, who brags about smuggling and shooting up drugs in his lyrics. I am glad that Bob Graham opposes the (Iraq) War, but his record shows he’s dishonest & bloodthirsty, willing to have people tortured & killed for his political gain.

Biden-Clinton Ally Makes BILLIONS On So-Called "CleanUp;" Oil Spill Looks Intentional — by NormanB ("Deviations from the Norm")

Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Bradley Bell announced his retirement hours ago from DuPont’s shadow company Nalco, maker of Corexit, which so-called "clean-up workers" are now intentionally spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. Corexit is much more toxic than Petroleum, and its use makes the Dispersant spill much more dangerous to Gulf-of-Mexico life and economy than the Oil spill itself. Bell apparently wants to take the money and run before the criminal acts involved are aired.

Nalco President & CEO J. Erik Frywald just came off a multi-city tour urging venture capitalists to invest in Nalco, because, he said, Oil spills are inevitable, and Nalco stands to make many billions of dollars when one happens, especially in the light Pres. Obama’s stated intent to dramatically increase un-inspected offshore Oil drilling.

Frywald and Nalco have donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and to that of notorious Oil puppet Mary Landrieu, as well as many other dishonest Oily Representatives from Louisiana and elsewhere on the Gulf coast. Frywald is a 27-year veteran at DuPont.

Billions of dollars given to DuPont is exactly what Vice President Biden has worked for his entire career. When a politician accepts a bribe and carries out what the bribing corporation wants, that’s bad. But in a case like Joseph Biden’s, wherein every piece of legislation he has ever introduced profits DuPont, the richest entity in his state, sets Biden apart: He’s by far the most dishonest politician in the history of this country. Biden’s every speech, for nearly 40 years, has focused on maximizing profits for DuPont.

Joseph Biden’s loyalty to DuPont instead of his country has devastated climate and human rights worldwide. Here, today, this column begins its 5-part series titled "How Joe Biden’s Loyalty to DuPont instead of his Country Devastated Climate and Human Rights Worldwide."
