BP's Oil Spill song
This song is called BP’s Oil Spill, and it's about BP, and the
Oil Spill, but BP’s Oil Spill is not the name of the Oil Spill,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song BP's
Oil Spill.
You can get anything you want at BP’s Oil Spill
You can get anything you want at BP’s Oil Spill
Swim right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the oil rig stack
You can get anything you want at BP’s Oil Spill stack
Now it all started two May 24th 2010, was on - when my friend and I went up to visit BP at the Oil Spill, but BP doesn't live in the Oil Spill, they live in the
Mansion nearby the Oil Spill, in the bell-tower, with Tony Hayward and
Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
room downstairs where the clean water used to be in. Havin' all that room,
seein' as how they took out all the clean water, they decided that they didn't
have to take out their oil for a long time.
We got up there, we found all the oil in there, and we decided it'd be
a friendly gesture for us to take the oil down to the gulf. So
we took the half a ton of oil, put it in the back of a red Grady white
Fishing boat took shovels and buckets and implements of destruction and headed on toward the Gulf Stream.
Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the
Gulf saying, "Closed to Polluters." And we had never heard of a gulf
closed before, and with tears in our eyes we sailed off
into the sunset looking for another place to put the oil.
We didn't find one. Until we came to a side of the gulf, and off the side of the
side gulf there was another fifteen foot wave and at the bottom of the
wave there was another spill of oil. And we decided that one big spill
is better than two little spills, and rather than bring that one up we
decided to pour our's in.
That's what we did, and sailed back to the rig, had a thanksgiving
dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obama. He said, "Hayward, we found your name on an oil can at the bottom of a half a ton of
oil, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obama, I cannot tell a lie, I put that oil can
under that spill."
After speaking to Obama for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone we
finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down
and lick up the oil, and also had to go down and speak to him at the
White House. So we got in the red Grady white Fishing Boat with the
shovels and pails and implements of destruction and headed on toward the
Presidents White House.
Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obama coulda done at
the White House, and the first was he could have given us a medal for
being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and
we didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out
and told us never to be seen drilling oil around the vicinity again,
which is what we expected, but when we got to the President’s White House
there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was
both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obama, I don't think I
can lick up the oil with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, Hayward.
Get in the back of the patrol car."
And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the Gulf of Mexico where this happened here, they got a lot of bouys and signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was 1200 boats and three hundred police cars,
being the biggest oil spill since the Exxon Valdez, and everybody wanted to
get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
government equipment that they had hanging around the federal officers station.
They was taking oil samples, water samples, salad oil samples, and
they took twenty seven thousand eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and deep sea video and arrows and a paragraphs on the back of each one explaining what each
one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
mention the aerial photography.
After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obama said he was going to put
us in the cell. Said, "Hayward, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your
wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obama, I can understand you wanting my
wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you
want my belt for?" And he said, "Hayward, we don't want any hangings." I
said, "Obama, did you think I was going to hang myself for Polluting America?"
Obama said he was making sure, and friends Obama was, cause he took out the
toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took
out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the
toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obama
was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that BP
(remember BP? It's a song about BP), BP came by and with a few
nasty words to Obama on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back
to the oil rig, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,
and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.
We Sailed in, sat down, Obama came in with the twenty seven thousand eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back
of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
and Obama stood up with the twenty seven thousand eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures, and the judge Sailed in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
sat down, we sat down. Obama looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
twenty seven thousand eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven thousand eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obama came to the realization that it was a typical case of Oil Company payoff justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven thousand eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And
we was fined $50,000 and had lick up the oil in the sun, but thats not
what I came to tell you about.
Came to talk about deep water drilling,
They got a building down Washington D.C, it's called the oil drilling permit office,
where you buy in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
neglected and selected. I went down to get my oil rig examination one
day, and I Swam in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so
I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted to
look like the Oil King kid from BP, man I wanted, I wanted
to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the Oil King from BP,
and I Swam in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all
kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I walked in and sat down and they gave
me a piece of paper, said, "Hayward, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."
And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to pollute. I mean, I wanna, I
wanna pollute. Pollute. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see oil and slime and
grease and dead birds in my teeth. Eat dead oily bodies. I mean pollute, Pollute,
Pollute, Pollute." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "Pollute, Pollute," and
he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down
yelling, "Pollute, Pollute." And the Coast Guard came over, pinned a medal on me,
sent me down the hall, said, "You're our Hayward."
Oil Spill, but BP’s Oil Spill is not the name of the Oil Spill,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song BP's
Oil Spill.
You can get anything you want at BP’s Oil Spill

Project ARK, now is the time to start
Project ARK, now is the time to start
I would like to propose "Project ARK". My concept is for fish farms wildlife sanctuaries and aquariums to be built along the Gulf States with the purpose of preserving the different species of the area.
In doing such a project that I believe should be funded mostly by BP and completely by all those drilling in the Gulf would not only help to preserve but also create jobs, and save some of the fishing industry and preserve it until some kind of clean up can be done.
We have killed, not injured, not damaged we have killed a large section of the planet during this spill. Now not later is the time to start our ARK.
I hope through this post someone can help get this message out so the process to save what’s left can begin before it is gone forever.

BP oil spill Solution
So everyone has a solution why not me?
Solution for the BP problem. As a Scuba diver I make the following suggestion. Use a Y shaped valve. One side open the other side to a hose or pipe to the surface. Once the connector is slipped over the leak then a valve on the open side could be closed diverting the oil up to the side with the pipe. As long as they keep trying to put their devices over the leak with out a way to vent the system at that depth they will continue to fail.
It's really a simple process that is being over complicated.
Did you ever hear the story of the child that figured out to simply let the air out of the truck tires to get it under the bridge? Same thing. They keep trying to put something over a busted pipe that has pressure but the pressure just keeps blowing them away. it needs to be vented until its on. Once on just redirect the flow.
I know it sounds too easy but it really is that simple. You can't fight all that pressure you can redirect it. Liquids flow you can't stop them you must redirect them.

BP and the disaster
Tony Hayward of BP and Benjamin Linus of LOST....
Does anyone see anything freaky going on? The series finale and then the disaster? Could it be DARMA!
BP a/k/a Big Polluters and Boycott BP
Here we are its been 6 weeks! and still the oil is pumping in to the Gulf. The entire region is destroyed and government is still busing trying to figure out who to Blame.
Boycott BP

Blow up the BP oil Well
Blowing up the BP oil well is not a new technology. When oil wells fail and they do the resulting solution was to blow them up so they would be sealed off and stop the leak. Enough already lets blow that puppy up and stop the spill.

BP is still murdering the planet
Said I said the M word, for Murder! They are just killing everything with little or no regard. There is no hurry up going on. It's okay now they tell you were only leaking 2,000 gallons a day it's not so bad.
Yea and I'm a fish in need of a lube job.

Cloud Computing will it vanish?
Cloud computing is the buzz these days. But we all know about clouds, they are just vapor. One minute they are wonderful and the next they are gone. Many of these cloud companies went out of business when the economy changed and anyone holding data with them lost it.
Now I would like to give my favorite view on cloud computing and cloud data storage.
Lets say you give me your wallet to hold with all your money and all your credit cards and all your personal information like social security numbers, your wife’s number, your girlfriends numbers, your children’s birth certificates and all your family photos. Now you will pay me every month to hold this information for you.
I must safeguard it from hackers. It should be available 24/7 100% so you can access it anytime you want.
Sound good? Okay so I go on vacation with all your wallet of goodies, maybe I don't come back and maybe my security is not so good or the power company shuts me off because I bought a car instead of paying the electric bill? So what about your data?
I think I'll sell copies of your data to raise money, and maybe I'll flee the country or just file bankruptcy.
So now where was your valuable data?

Stanford Victims Coaliton to be Audited by IRS
Those wild and wack folks that like to be called Victims are going to be victimized again except this time by the IRS. Looks like when they put in their law suit what they did was make their names a matter of public record. The IRS says that out of the thousands on the the list only about 1,000 filed proper returns and the rest will be audited.
Okay but heck they are not really victims they are just bad investors.
Oh by the way what they did is called "Tax Evasion"

R. Allen Stanford and the Victims or Investors
Okay lets see if they were Victims they would have had their money taken? if they are investors they would have given their money?
Since they invested with a criminal does that make them criminals?
Oh wait Stanford is not a criminal, he has not been convicted of any crimes as yet. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

How live changes
We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! PONG! that was it I had fucking PONG! The ball just went back and forth across the screen.
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?! Channel surfing was how fast you could spin the dial and then your parents would scream when the TV man had to come because you broke it from spinning it too fast.
There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-finks! And if you woke your parents you were grounded for life! I think I'm still ground but mom is too old to remember.
And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that! You had a stove? we had a coal pot.
And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores! and they didn’t care how freakin cold it was outside. Put on a sweater the sun is out. So what its below zero your young when I was your age we wore T-shirts and played in the snow and loved it.
And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were luckily, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place! Which explains why many of us look the way we do.
See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before! 1980? Shit they would have died from polyester in the 70's., or been drafted to Viet Nam in the 60's.
We didn’t have digital cameras, we had to take the film in and wait a week then pray the pictures came out good. We went to the movies early in the day so we could get the discount price and sneak from theater to theater because nobody had enough money to get into the movies more than once in a few months.
We didn’t have any good pornography. There was Hugh Heffner and maybe if the guy at Teamo wasn’t looking you could sneak a peak. then came Larry Flynt but someone shot him. We had to put up with a nipple shot of Farrah's Faucets, and they were that great. Some folks made a big deal about Marsha Brady when she wore a low cut blouse and showed cleavage, but nobody knew she was sleeping with everyone in the cast. And Florence Henderson was doing the boys.
Richard Nixon was not a crook, he was the president. Somehow Jimmy Carter go to be president, then it was Ronny Ray gun.
We had to duck and cover incase of an atom bomb. Like it would really save us. There are still supplies incase of an attack in the basement of my old public school which now has some dead persons name on it.
Public nudity was called streaking. The Frisbee was an actual toy. By the way the guy who invented the Frisbee died this year. Mini skirts was like mini sex, and what ever happened to hot pants.
Today girls have something called a muffin top which is pretty gross.
When I was young I was considered a big boy, by today's kids I'm in great shape as they all suffer from McDonalds.

See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before! 1980? Shit they would have died from polyester in the 70's., or been drafted to Viet Nam in the 60's.
We didn’t have digital cameras, we had to take the film in and wait a week then pray the pictures came out good. We went to the movies early in the day so we could get the discount price and sneak from theater to theater because nobody had enough money to get into the movies more than once in a few months.
We didn’t have any good pornography. There was Hugh Heffner and maybe if the guy at Teamo wasn’t looking you could sneak a peak. then came Larry Flynt but someone shot him. We had to put up with a nipple shot of Farrah's Faucets, and they were that great. Some folks made a big deal about Marsha Brady when she wore a low cut blouse and showed cleavage, but nobody knew she was sleeping with everyone in the cast. And Florence Henderson was doing the boys.
Richard Nixon was not a crook, he was the president. Somehow Jimmy Carter go to be president, then it was Ronny Ray gun.
We had to duck and cover incase of an atom bomb. Like it would really save us. There are still supplies incase of an attack in the basement of my old public school which now has some dead persons name on it.
Public nudity was called streaking. The Frisbee was an actual toy. By the way the guy who invented the Frisbee died this year. Mini skirts was like mini sex, and what ever happened to hot pants.
Today girls have something called a muffin top which is pretty gross.
When I was young I was considered a big boy, by today's kids I'm in great shape as they all suffer from McDonalds.

Antigua-Barbuda government responds to FATF status

Antigua-Barbuda government responds to FATF status
Published on Thursday, February 25, 2010 Email To Friend Print Version
ST JOHN'S, Antigua -- The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is the international body that sets the anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) global standards, on February 18 2010 issued a public statement identifying countries who currently have regulatory deficiencies and placing them in four categories.
Antigua and Barbuda has been placed in category 4 which are “jurisdictions which have deficiencies for which they have developed an action plan and expressed a high-level political commitment to work with FATF and the regional Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) to address these identified deficiencies”.
According to the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the public statement follows a face-to-face meeting in November 2009 in Argentina between the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) and Antigua and Barbuda represented by the Attorney General, Justin Simon QC and the Chair of the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC), Althea Crick.
A follow-up Report was submitted by Antigua and Barbuda in early February 2010 following the recent passage in the House of Representatives of important amendments to various pieces of legislation including The Money Laundering (Prevention) (Amendment) Bill, The Prevention of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill, and the International Business Corporations (Amendment) Bill.
These Bills will be debated in the Senate next week.
The arrest of R Allen Stanford in the US on allegations that he operated a massive Ponzi Scheme through his wholly-owned Stanford International Bank, which is registered in and regulated by Antigua and Barbuda, and the request for the extradition of Leroy King the former Administrator of FSRC, has highlighted deficiencies in the country's legal and regulatory framework additional to those previously identified in the CFATF’s 2007 Mutual Evaluation Examiners Report on Antigua and Barbuda.
The Report is conducted in each jurisdiction every third year and assesses compliance with FATF Recommendations and implementation of changing norms and regulatory practices. Stanford International Bank Limited is currently in liquidation.
The Ministry said that Antigua and Barbuda has committed itself to and has been duly implementing the requested amendments and changes to its off-shore financial regime and will be making a full report on its legislative and regulatory actions at the CFATF Plenary in June 2010.
"We are pleased with the progress made to date following the 30th Plenary in Curaçao in October 2009 at which a follow-up Report had been tabled for CFATF’s consideration and review. This is an ongoing process," the Ministry said in a statement.
"While we recognise the vital importance of the offshore financial sector to our economy, we must also pay close attention to our concomitant obligation to maintain the global standards of good governance and AML/CFT requirements. We are therefore working assiduously at correcting these deficiencies by June 2010. We expect our financial institutions (whether local or off-shore) to recognise the changes being made, both regulatory and legislative, and call on them to ensure their diligent and effective compliance as we continuously seek to improve our international standing," the statement concluded.
