Chain of Fools

every chain has a weak link...

I don't mind tellin' ya I'm still buzzing from the Aretha concert!

but back to the business of sharing my keen soulful satirical forensic wit with you...

so some guys go out kayaking and come back covered in oil...thick crude oil...happened in Goleta around Platform Holly.... a three mile long sheen

the Coast Guard determines it's a natural seep..the same Coast Guard that harassed boaters who dared venture into water when the Princess Cruiseliner was docked off Santa Barbara..





now, if the Coast Guard detemined the Yacht Club is full of terrorists, can they be trusted to tell us that the oil slick was a natural seep?? of course not...

Plains Oil Pipeline was the weakest link in the chain, spilling more that 140000 gals of crude into the ocean from their onshore pipeline break...they upped the spill estimate recently so they can't even count!!

spilling that much oil, dispersed by the ocean and moved around by the wind and currents must have some residual effects...and the sheen/slick  in Goleta was probably one of them..not a natural seep but a big BELCH!!


the newpapers esp the pro-oil spill newspapers like the News-Press are jumping on this story to justify the Plains oil spill..thus, the chain chain chain...chain of fools...

it all points to oil production...something is fishy and I don't think it's natural seeps...we have some light sheen in Summerland but the amount in Goleta points to Plains residual...

and when is  the last time Platform Holly was inspected and why aren't the Coast Guard asking for those records so the public can see them...oil platforms are rigs that drill for oil....anytime you drill into the ocean floor, something is released....so maybe a well casing is leaking..or they created a fissure...maybe that's why all those emergency permits to truck oil were demanded by the oil companies..to cover the maintenance deficiencies on the oil rigs...or some of them..or maybe just Platform Holly...

you would think if this was a natural seep, this chain of fools would be able to verify it..
 

so far, they have not

Well, what do you expect from a "newspaper" that (allegedly) doesn't even take care of its own mold problems? Interestingly, the Snooze Press recently hired a painter to paint the inside of their building. Could they be attempting to cover up their mold problem or are they just trying to "beautify" their (ancient) building so they can continue to lease out every nook and cranny? I guess they were able to pay for the paint job with money they've been collecting by charging folks to park in their lot after 5. (This is the latest way the Snooze has been bringing in money and saving costs. First they leased out most of the building, then they cut back on reporters' notebooks and pens and now this.) Can't wait to see what they'll think of next. Maybe McCuckoo, the Nipper, Katich and the Smirking Slimeball (aka Scott Steepleton) will open a lemonade stand on the pier!

Charging for parking at the News-Press? I knew Wendy was the genius behind Craig! It's that kind of business acumen that made them rich. She truly deserved half that money! "Craig. What are those plastic things people are talking into? Really? I bet we can make money from those. But how can we charge them? I know, we can count the words in the air as they float by!" Whadda you think, honey!!!"
