Lngrrr,
What predominantly black areas of the South are governed by a Republican?
The snare may be laid badly, but as far as I'm concerned, this is not a partisan issue. This issue revolves around science and the environment.
I dont give a damn how any of you fall on the issue...you start spreading lies and misinformation (INCLUDING OBAMA ADMIN) and I see the need to respond with the other side...and yes I have major problems with the Obama Admins reponse, and have said so.
How is it partisan when Im calling out Repugs and Dems on this?
Snake and WH, you're unified in error.
Do you mind pointing out the error? Neither one of us called you a partisan.Snake and WH, you're unified in error.
Did I mention predominantly? Nope, sure didn't.
If you think you can win an argument using strawmen, then yes. If you think you can win by actually responding to what I said, then no.
Tell me, what great strides have blacks made in areas not dominated by Democrats? Surely the gains are significant. (I'll even avoid the obvious fact that there cuold be a mul ude of factors affecting inner-city youth that are independent of government, or even making you show proof that they're not better off, because frankly I don't think you can handle showing actual work or focusing on more than one strawman at a time.)
*ooh,ooh,ooh waving hand in back of class...*Tell me, what great strides have blacks made in areas not dominated by Democrats?
The Military?
I meant geographic areas, not organizations. Using organizations is cheating, because the military is (theoretically) non-partisan.
"By our estimates there were thousands - and I'm talking about 5,000 to 15,000 - dead fish," St. Bernard Parish President Craig Taffaro told reporters. "Different species were found dead, including crabs, sting rays, eel, drum, speckled trout, red fish, you name it, included in that kill."
The next day, a thick, orange substance with tar balls and a "strong diesel smell" was discovered around Grassy Island, near the fish kill, according to a news release.

Sounds like a ship leaked fuel. Crude oil doesn't smell like diesel, or am I wrong?

Why do even bother to ask if you are wrong?
In a tiny way you're right. Oil and chemical industries have so polluted LA and Gulf Coast for so long that it may be hard to tie an incident dead animals to Corexit and BP. But it sure sounds these locals think this kill is unusual. But I'd trust WC spin over the locals' knowledge and testimony any day.
I'm not spinning anything. I simply think that BP is just the newest punching bag, and not at fault for all that occurs. I'm surprised you acknowledged pollutants are normal. Good for you.
whatacrockof .
Are you saying that some thing that could actually happen, is impossible because, you want to blame BP?
I don't know how likely a boat spill would be, but you act as if you would deny it if it were proven true.
Normal doesn't mean acceptable.
As someone who has spent hundreds of hours kayaking in salt water estuaries dead fish are quite common and a normal daily occurrence. After all, they have a life cycle just like anything else, get sick, etc. and they don't bury their dead. Because of the natural gases generated in the decomposition process dead fish float and eventually drift to shore. It's hardly a surprise that when hundreds of people are actively looking for dead fish that they find some.
Naturally occurring fish kills, especially this time of year, are quite common. I have personally seen thousands of fish washed up on the shore in big stinking piles. They were caused naturally by algae blooms from the warm waters. The fact that a "scientist" wouldn't even MENTION that algae blooms have been occurring naturally year after year before the oil spill immediately sets off alarm bells with me that he is working an agenda and not being an objective scientist.

Hmmm....let's see.
Sitting Supreme Court Justice. That would indicate great strides in jurisprudence.
I don't know the statistics but, I'm certain business ownership and executive office occupancy are way up.
There's a black at the top of the RNC (not exactly an organization "dominated by Democrats.")
I'll tell you what. Name an area of society where blacks are still unable to participate at the highest levels.
Yes, indeed. The gains have been significant over the past 50 years. I think Martin Luther King would be proud while, at the same time, going full Bill Cosby on his own racial counter-parts.
He would be ashamed of what Jesse Jackson's become.
I was thinking something similar, only I don't have a causal relationship to cite
I don't know how many times I've gone to the Oregon coast, and seen countless dead sea life washed ashore. Now we have no oil rigs on the Oregon coast, unless they are super secret.
Other things do kill sealife, in mass.
5-15,000 dead fish? That's fewer than the number of people who lost their jobs because of Obama's moratorium.
lol, you didn't even know what the moratorium covered.
Parade your ignorance, peasant. You're my little jester.
those algae blooms in the gulf arent "naturally occuring"
do some homework.
they are a result of the fertilizers that wash down the mississippi
they have resulted in the "dead zones" we already had in the Gulf. Now the dispersants and the oil are doing further damage.

global warming is causing problems on the oregon coast. abnormally hot top watersmean the oceans arent circulating enough to oxygenate the water off the coast there.
thats why Oregons salmon population is about to be caput too.
and those dead fish arent spelling doom for the fishing industry? you fuggin idiot
CC's random off-the-top-of-his-head hypo DOES NOT = proven true
Just coming up with some random is similar to Rick Perry's blame it on God approach...anybody but BP is good enough for a Texas Repug
The smell is absolutely consistent with the reports of beach/boat cleanup workers from day one...the same ones now getting sick from exposure. CC is throwing around to dispel the onslaught on BP...you would think he would follow the before he goes guessing about the realities of whats going on down there. that wouldnt be very repug of him though...
his approach makes perfect sense though, because the worker interviews wont be found on Fox news
LOL...
Just how much Kool-Aid do you drink, anyway?
We have had record runs of salmon in recent times, just to be snatched by sea lions at the Bonneville dam fish ladders.
Do you really think that a 0.8 C atmospheric increase can make any notable changes in the sea temperature? What are you smoking. can I have some? Must be some good .
