INTERIOR DEPARTMENT:
The department deployed SWAT teams from the Minerals Management Service to inspect 30 drilling rigs operating in the deepwater sections of the Gulf of Mexico. Inspections should be completed within the next week, according to an Interior Department spokeswoman.
Inspectors will check to see whether the rigs have conducted blow-out preventer tests and inspect related records, the spokeswoman said. The teams will also verify that emergency well control exercises are taking place. Inspectors will then inspect 47 deep-water production platforms in the gulf, a process that will take longer than rig inspections because of the complexities of the structures.
And DC is involved, so you know money isn't too far behind!

Wells don't need a pump to bleed oil in many cases. See any of the pics from the oil rush in PA. The term "gusher" didn't enter the lexicon without cause.
All I expect, frankly, at this point, is equal critique for equal performance. Pres. Bush was hammered for a lack of federal response mere hours after Katrina hit.........despite the fact that military disaster response guides dictate that local authorities are on their own for a minimum of 48-72 hours after a disaster. It takes time for the federal government to act, especially in a military context within CONUS.

There was a big march for immigration reform in Chicago today. Chicago has a big labor union presence, so May Day gets recognized. I heard on the news that the state spends over $3 billion yearly for education, health care and incarceration of illegal residents. "What does an illegal immigrant look like?" is a big question. But $3 billion is a LOT of money. All I know for sure is that we can't keep doing what we have been doing, because it's not working. If I wanted to move to Canada I would have to obtain proper documentation as a resident and as a nurse. What's different about Mexicans coming here? But the President doesn't know if he'll "get to immigration" because of the ecological impact of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, restructuring financial regulation, and health care.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

I cant possibly be the only poster in this thread that has actually read the AZ law.
I live near a town that had a cosier meat packing plant. There was a raid & they rounded up the immagrants mostly Mexicans. The Jews had hired illegal immagrants & besides under age children of the Mexican community were working at the plant. The Jewish man that was responsible for this is going to prison & I hope they throw the book at him. The immagrants have been sent back to Mexcio at our expense. There were problems with killings, lots of births, breaking the law, robbery, you name it, it happened. The Mexicans are hard working people they do jobs that no one else wants to do. Some of the legals are still here. The cosier meat packing plant has reopened under new management. If they have their green cards & are here legally I have no problem with it. But when they are here I hope they pay them a good wage so they can live the American dream & not drain the system. It is like slave labor other wise. I got into it with a Mexican lady at Wal Mart about a year ago. She purchased hot dogs that were suppose to be on sale & she had other hot dogs that weren't. She accused the clerk of cheating her & calling her a bad name. I was standing in line & watched it all go down. She got real loud with the clerk. I spoke up & told her if you don't like it here go back to where you came from! It really pissed me off! She left the clerk alone, left me alone, & headed for the service counter. This is the kind of stuff that turns you against people.![]()
I think you missed a couple races H. Schickelgruber, but it was a good try.

I have a friend who used to be the evening kitchen manager at a restaurant. Every now and again the INS would come in and whisk away his employees who were not in the country legally. They would mostly have used someone else's Social Security number and/or card as proof of eligibility to work. Sometimes the restaurant would lose a third of the kitchen staff and have to finish the shift without them.

When one reports facts is it bigotry? If five Russians break into a home and murder a family is it bigotry to say they are Russian? What if they were five Germans or five Irish or five Jews or blacks or French? It is not a made up story, one is not picking on a particular part of society one is simply reporting a fact. People are who they are and they did a certain deed good or bad.
If we say five Russians saved a boy from drowning is it any different to mention that they are Russian? Are we profiling here as well? Are we saying the rest of the worlds people can’t swim or would not jump in to save someone?
Reporting the facts good and bad from each part of the world and each type of people is important it connects us to each other and reminds us that certain people have different cultures, we might not agree or understand but regardless they are mostly proud of themselves and what it means to be thought of as Jewish, or Christian, or Mexican, Swiss, Dutch, Turkish.
Jewish people are perhaps the best educated in the world. So am I being a bigot against all other people saying they are not educated?
And what is with Dave Chappell? Oh my goodness gosh. Have you heard that man use the ni&&er word, over and over and over again he makes fun of blacks. Who is he, why he is a black man who is so funny he makes you pee in your pants from laughing. He makes fun of his fellow black men, we laugh because there is truth in what he says. The best jokes do have truth in them. Yet no one calls him a racist. He is a really funny man who uses the F word a lot. You have to have a really great sense of humor to watch him and an open mind. Black people love him, they laugh at themselves which is great, everyone should be able to laugh at themselves.
Same with George Lopez he makes some much fun of his own race. “Mexicans love golf you know, any time they can hit something white they love it.” That is really funny.
He makes me laugh. Good guy.
Oh and Caseysmom, you are on my ignore list. Life is good.
I wish everyone a happy holiday today, I am going to have a nice drink with hubby.
