BP: The Big Polluter vs The American People

As the world bears witness to the catastrophic, unabated oil pollution of the Gulf of Mexico currently invading America’s southern coastline, hundreds of thousands of people whose livelihoods are threatened, are beginning to come to terms with the economic and poisonous environmental consequences of this man made calamity and its ability to destroy communities and their chosen way of life. A tragedy caused by the inexpert activities and cavalier attitudes employed by multinational companies involved in mining deep sea oil in the Gulf.

The Democrat’s Blumenthal Blunder

At least the exposure of this imposter will end his masquerading days of posing as a Vietnam veteran. However the people of Connecticut who would have preferred another Democratic candidate can at least take heart.

Palin: The Never Again Politician

In her new shoot from the hip role in the media and by commenting via her ghostwritten website, she has been carefully positioned to avoid intelligent debate. However she is no fool. Knowing her own limitations, when the time comes, there is absolutely no chance she will risk her newly discovered financial windfall and bonanza, by attempting to run in 2012.

The Price of Palin’s “Drill Baby Drill”

Residents need only to visit the Florida coast over the next few days and weeks to witness courtesy of BP, the horror of crude oil devastation as it floods their pristine coastline on the back of each new tide. Some good may result if it causes people to pause and reflect after witnessing first hand the obscenity of runaway oil as it delivers a slow and suffocating black death to helpless creatures of the natural world, while slicking atop pristine waters en route to rendering beaches and shores virtually uninhabitable.

Tiger Tiger Fading Light!

With the sponsorship of Tiger Woods, Nike’s golf merchandise and gatorade front man, the company’s sales pitch posted globally on elephantine billboards arrogantly shouted – “Just Do It” – . And so Tiger obliged, big time – in ways unimaginable to his fans. The slogan would have been less of a target had it taken the high road and said, “Just Don’t Do It”. But no one in advertising would suggest such an approach unless it targeted drink driving or some other form of egregious social behaviour. It’s too late for hindsight now. “Just Do It”, was a cartoonist’s dream.

Musings On The Masters

Telling Thoughts
I must admit that I couldn’t help but watch Tiger play his first round and then cheer him on. I suppose that is when you admire the efforts of a real champion – that is what you cheer – regardless.  Not necessarily in support of an individual athlete, but more for the witnessing of [...]

Tiger Woods – The Jekyll & Hyde of Golf

Telling Thoughts
I was stunned by the tasteless decision by Tiger Woods and Nike to use Wood’s father’s voice in that advertisement for Nike.The matter of whether or not Woods learns anything from his recently revealed experiences should never have been used by any business as an excuse to promote their image and goods.
I believe the [...]

ObamaCare Coming to America

Throughout 2009, it had become obvious to many supporters and others, that Barack Obama in his first year as President, did not seem to appreciate the difference in leadership style and application between that of being a successful candidate and those skills requisite to becoming a successful leader and President. It must have come as a shock and obviously it took time to absorb. When Obama finally got the message, he realised he was to going to have to learn and adjust quickly. His Presidency was heading towards a cliff. This was no rehearsal. The future of Healthcare reform was already poised on a knife edge, and along with it, was his future.
