10 Spades?  Spades?!?!?!?!?  Do I even have to say it, whitey?

11 I think you are missing the point. Time is trying to downplay the damage the BP oil spill was doing to Obama by saying that it wasn't a big deal as everyone was making it out to be, therefore it isn't a failure of Obama

12 To liberals, truth is stranger than fiction ... Since most liberals hardly ever are on speaking terms with truth.

Think how hard this makes determining BP's fine?

13 That hydrogen now has 5 protons rather than 1?

Why, yes it does -- you're very observant. With five protons (and some other hand-wavy shit that you needn't be concerned about), hydrogen is now boron. Couple this with Obi-Won's "mongrel" comment on Da Spew and boron becomes moron. So we're all morons now (there goes the neighborhood).

Me first, though.

25 Rags like Time don't print a damn thing that doesn't advance a "progressive" agenda, and right now, propping up Obama is very near the top of that agenda. This is an effort to downplay the spill so The Won's incompetence appears less impactful.

It's the liberals' version of taqiyya: Lying to the infidel is OK.

What they don't realize is they think Obama's always lying to the other guy.

56

Cue Barky re-owning the spill in 3...2...1...

57 There were two tensions working against each other:

1) Use the oil spill to advance anti-oil, anti-business, pro-government regulation. Cap-n-trade, etc.
2) The government response is inept, and more regulation won't help.

They gambled that if the spill was portrayed as bad (which I think it is), it would drive #1 in the list. It actually drove #2 in the list.

The lesson is that the only reason the machine cared about the spill at all was because it could lead to a consolidation of power. And THAT is why the soviet environmental record was so bad.

58 Goofus swallows!!!!

60 18 I read this as "Obama stopped the oil spill!"

Or, "shut up about the damned spill, OK, it's over and not a big deal." And no part of it was Obama's fault.

Man, what a stupid friggin movie. The only book Irving ever wrote that was even semi-decent was A prayer for Owen Meany.

62 Overblown? Overcharge!

63 I've been underblown for years.

64
Another way to look at it:  the democrats and Time magazine are happy to say - "see - the spill isn't so bad after all" because the spill was hurting Obama.

Rush being right helps Obama.  that's the only reason Time Democrat Magazine is saying this. 

65 While this is Time's "blind nut" moment, they still have to shill the "climate change" nonsense.

It's easy to overstate the policy implications of this optimistic news. BP still needs to clean up its mess; federal regulation of deep-water drilling still needs to be strengthened; we still need to use fewer fossil fuels that warm the planet; we still don't need to use more corn ethanol (which is actually dirtier than gasoline). The push to exploit the spill to gain a comprehensive energy and climate bill in Congress has already stalled anyway — even though the planet still needs one.

66 I remember Highlights.  Does it still have Goofus and Galant?  All I ever read at the Dr's office is Sports Illustrated.  Even that is dumbed down, now.

It's got a website now (don't do tinyurl so google it yourself); don't forget The Timbertoes.

67 Last time I looked at Time Magazine, it was like 30 pages.

Perhaps they're actually (gasp!) trying to attract advertisers.

68 Also from the article:

Even Limbaugh, when he wasn't downplaying the spill, outrageously hyped it as "Obama's Katrina." But honest scientists don't do that, even when they work for Audubon.
Uh-huh.  Substitute "ExxonMobil" for Audubon" and let's see if TIME believes that one.

69

Here is my cynical side: much ado about nothing. Olbermann, Matthews, et. al. have recently taken shots at Obama. Then, in 2 years time, they can whole heartedly endorse Obama for a second term, all the while, in a very grave voice, "noting that in the past we/I have been critical of this administration...".

That, of course, assumes Time, Olbermann, Matthews, et. al. are still around in 2 years.

Crikey !!  Sod off, mate. 

71 In my view, scientists will go work for Audubon _precisely_ because they have an agenda to push, and that is more important to them than doing good science. 

72 If they printed Time Magazine in double-ply and made it cost less than Charmin, I'd probably subscribe.

In two years, Olbermann will be a five-dollar whore in a ten-dollar whorehouse

Matthews will also be sucking Cock, but more discreetly

76

Time is trying to salvage Obama's failure to do anything about the spill.

They lead off with Obama's quote that the spill was a catastrophe, true, but they frame it as the conventional wisdom--in other words, Obama was just saying what everyone knew, not playing demagogue.

They then go on to say that the spill hasn't turned out as badly as expected.  It wasn't that Obama was hyping this thing like junkie, its just that, you know, he was repeating the conventional wisdom which somehow turned out to be mistaken for reasons that are of no particular interest or bear on anything else.

Sheer propaganda.

A quick search of Audobon showed that their new president used to head the Environmental Defense Fund which is known to funnel cash to groups like ELF.

So yeah, definitely an agenda to push and one using terrorist tactics to boot.

81 Even the blind catch glimpses of God sometimes. What they'll do with that glimpse will probably end up an exercise of staring at their navels.

82 So, let me get this straight.  It's ok again to say, "Drill baby, drill?"

83 Time Magazine deserves some credit for suggesting that Limbaugh and van Herdeen were correct, but they just couldn't get themselves to do it without placating their lib readership.  "Obnoxious anti-environmenatlist Rush Limbaugh . . . has a point" and van Herdeen "is controversial" and has a "big mouth."

When Time-Life Magazine comes out with their collection of Greatest Children's Stories Ever Re-Told ("Get Aesop's Top Ten Fables for just $19.99 plus shipping and handling; every month we'll send you a new volume, including favorites such as The Doctor Is In - A Seuss Compendium and Not-So-Grim Fairy Tales for the Very Young"), they will probably describe the hero-kid in The Emperor's New Clothes as "a trouble-making hoodlum with a Tourette's-like penchant for shouting out unpleasant truths about other people's wardrobes."

84 Shep Smith or O'Reilly?  No?  How do they keep their jobs?

O'Reilly probably has half the Fox execs cowering in a broom closet, and screams at them every night until they wet themselves and extend his contract

Better theory. They knew Ofumbles dropped the ball on this one totally, so they are re-writing it as, "not a really big deal so who cares?"

87 I would be remiss if I didn't point out that conservatives played  up the potential catastrophic damage as well, so this doesn't help the cause much ...  after all is said and done 

88 Time said the right thing (RE the lasting impact) for the wrong reasons. It's so lovely how the media pushes a narrative, then starts pointing fingers. Also noticed how they point-out that Rush may have had a point, but they (of course) won't give credit to Dr. Hayward for saying the same thing. Meanwhile, the moratorium is still being pushed, & Congress wants to pass an 'energy bill' that will push more businesses away from the Gulf regions.

That's me! Evil Hummer-driving geologist oilman SOB. I said, way back in April, that 3-6 months after the well got capped, the Gulf coast would be totally back to normal. Experience has always shown that to be the case.
This shit's happened numerous times before, and the spill in 1979 was larger and much more nasty. 4 months later, you literally couldn't find a drop of spill-related oil on the beaches in South Padre, and I was down there, looking.

BP wrote off $32 billion from their bottom line this year.  They were able to deduct $10 of the $20 billion from Barry's slush fund off of their taxes and they reported a $17 billion dollar loss.

BP made out liked raped apes on this deal.  Obama was probably able to use the $20 billion to pad the books on the deficit.  And we, as tax payers paid $10 billion of the $10 billion because of BP's deduction.

I feel really stupid for being such a sucker.

True dat...can we droop the whole windmill thing as well.

 

111 107 "BP said Tuesday that it plans to cut its U.S. tax bill by $9.9 billion, or about half the amount pledged to aid victims of the disaster, by deducting costs related to the oil spill.  A portion of that could be refunded from taxes BP paid in earlier years.  The company disclosed its intentions as part of its second-quarter earnings report, in which it said it would record a $32.2 billion charge to reflect the costs of the spill.  Under U.S. corporate tax law, companies can take credits on up to 35 percent of their losses."

Frequent readers of my column know that I have a soft spot for trolls who try to correct the misconceptions, falsehoods and flat out lies that are spread every day on right wing blogs. These blogs often unearth the most unseemly behavior of man: a rebellion against collectivism, a rejection of the progressive march toward utopia, the yearning for individual rights and, dare I say, I say, responsibility. I often find myself cheering for these individuals, hoping against hope that the one or two of these brave souls can withstand the numerical advantage that their opponets have.

I do not feel that way about Denny Crane, a troll at the blog Ace of Spades Headquarter. Mr. Crane's mode of operandi is a simple "x, then y, then z...its socialism". Devoid of logic, Mr. Crane is the type of person who, when confronted with the problem 2 plus 2, would stare at you with a blank expression before soiling his pants.

The more appalling element of Mr. Crane's, eh, work, for a lack of a better word (though it is doubtful that someone demonstrating Mr. Crane's lack of logical comprehension actually works. I suspect his most difficult chore is counting the change he receives while pan handling outside of an gay adult theater) is that it appears to have no passion, no zeal. It is a rote, bland regurgitation of bland, simple and often boring talking points. "Charlie Rangle committed ethics violations while Republicans were in charge!" Mr. Crane will extoll, as if that, somehow, excuses the Congressman's current ethical problems.

Boring, predicatable, illogical and no energy, I simply can not give Mr. Crane any stars for his lackluster performance. My hope is that, with many, many years of work, Mr. Crane may one day be able to piece together a comprehensive statement, perhaps something as simple as "Hi, my name is Denny Crane" and say it without the nervous discharge of a bodily fluid.

 

113 Hey, I knew it wasn't a BFD from jump street, and I squeezed those imperialists for $20B.  Watch this drive.

114 The nervous discharge of bodily dluid is a feature, not a bug

This is just the beginning of this kinda journo-hackery. Picture 2008 levels of Obambi sycophancy and suckitude, now multiply by a factor of 3. You see, now the Messiah is in trouble and his faithful minions will stop at nothing to ensure that "O" reaches the promise land, they have too much invested in this false prophit.

124 Hot Air Green Room's Howard Portnoy is hereby nominated for the Ric Romero Award for Timely Journalism.

He does realize that was news a month ago, right?  Right...?

125 WTF??? Are people still flogging the cover story it was an oil spill?

Reynolds posted this at the beginning of the month, and it's no coincidence that's when the started winding up the leak story:

Actually, the reason the oil cleanup is so slow is that there’s no oil spill at all. Oil’s just a cover story. It’s really aliens on the seafloor. That’s why the press is being kept away, and that’s why they’re preparing the public by floating stories about the possibility of nuking the site. Those skimmer ships aren’t cleaning things up, they are actually releasing oil to support the cover story. That’s why they’ve found lame excuses to keep volunteers and foreign assistance away. It’s all obvious once you think about it! Wake up, sheeple!

126 Picked up a Time mag on Monday while waiting for hubby to conduct bank business and noticed that it seems much skinnier than it used to.  It could be my imagination since I haven't touched one in years.

127 What's so shocking? Time is just saying that this isn't Katrina, and Obama's only failure was in caring too much.

Looks to me like they're being true to form.

128 BTW, "it's" is a contraction of "it is".

It's "his", "hers" and "its", not "hi's", "her's" and "it's".

The obnoxious anti-environmentalist Rush Limbaugh has been a rare voice arguing that the spill — he calls it "the leak" — is anything less than an ecological calamity, scoffing at the avalanche of end-is-nigh eco-hype.

Still a jagoff. Sod him and Slime Magazine

 

131 According to CNBC (not conservative media) today, gallons of water in the Gulf to gallons of oil spilled = gallons of water filling the entire new Cowboys stadium to one 24oz cup of beer anywhere in that stadium.  Just some perspective...

132 Didn't read all the comments, but Time is doing this to say "see the prez really didn't need to take it seriously".

133 Maybe they actually read their quarterly sales numbers and stock prices?

It's a little too little, it's a little too late.

134 I got run off another blog for saying that I have lived through a number of oil spills and life as we know it never ended.

135 I get complimentary copies of Time and Newsweek in my office, they never make to the lobby, trashed immediately! Autoweek, Road and Track, Arcitectural Digest, maybe Home and Garden for the women readers, That''s it!

136 I have said it time and time again. People have to eat. The left is losing the cold civil war and continuing to print wildy left wing garbage means the left is well out of a job and they like hot running water just as much as conservatives do. Expect more of this. When the tide turns it is going to be brutal.

137 The reporting on the spill greatly distorted people's expectations of what would happen.  A very large amount of the oil leaking from the well was captured at the source.  A lot more was collected and burned (flared) at the surface and still more was burned within controlled containment on the surface of the gulf.

The problem was that the media kept jacking up people's perception of the spill with estimates that the daily total spill "could be as high as" some ridiculously high number without any evidence to back up the idea that the spill was ACTUALLY that bad.  You COULD get hit by up to 437 meteorites today, but you probably won't.

Now imagine the meteorite total multiplied by 100 days. People would expect that someone out there has been hit by 43700 meteorites.  It is sort of the same thing with the gulf leak.  You had media outlets competing with each other to see who could get the "expert" that would estimate the largest amount of oil for the leak.  So over time the estimates "walked" higher and higher as each outlet trotted out some "expert" that gave a higher possible volume of oil.  But in this case the potential doesn't ruin beaches.  What ruins beaches is what ACTUALLY leaks and escapes containment and escapes surface burning and processing.

Also, since the gulf naturally seeps each year more oil than the Exxon Valdez spilled, there are a lot of oil eating microbes in that water.  Oil has a lot of energy in it.  Something is going to evolve to use that energy if it can.  In a place where you have pretty much constant oil seepage, those critters are going to be all over the place.

138 "WTF? Where does some punkass fish wrapper rag like Time get off daring to even suggest that the ascended Messiah was wrong?"

HEY!  The rag is SHRINKING in size and READERSHIP!  Maybe it's TIME to RETHINK your mission statement.  Because IT AIN'T SELLING!

139 It's "his", "hers" and "its", not "hi's", "her's" and "it's".

"Where does some punkass fish wrapper rag like Time get off daring to even suggest that the ascended Messiah was wrong?"

It doesn't end there. I stepped outside this morning and the sky was purple, the grass was orange, and my dog was french-kissing the cat.

The easy explanation is that the liberal nut-base is getting ready to tank Obama so that he doesn't run (and lose) in 2012. 

They'll give "Hillary-the-competent" a shot at the title.  After all, she's just as much a raging liberal without the baggage of having been exposed as a raging liberal. 

They might fool the independents again.
