Posts Roundup of Dennys Blogs - 11 July 2010

*** Check out news, political opinion - serious and funny cartoons, recipes, science and health news, poetry, funny posts, photography, spiritual thoughts and great quotes.











From Denny: With the new and faster features offered by Blogger lately, I decided to go ahead and take the jump. All of my three food blogs are now neatly compiled into one blog: Dennys Food and Recipes.



For the past year I've been experimenting with small niche writing like the so-called internet SEO experts preach. As far as writing goes, I felt constrained in too small a space. Yes, I'm one of those kids who skipped coloring outside the lines in coloring books and took it to a whole new level. I colored whole murals on my bedroom walls. It sure beat the pedestrian mind-dull wallpaper my parents used to cover unsightly and uneven plaster walls in a 160 year old New England house. My father knew how to properly plaster walls since his father was a commercial and residential contracter among other talents - he just didn't want to go to the bother. So, I had my own solution.



I have my own solutions too for these many blogs and I'm combining several of them. What the statistics have proven over the past year is that once a generalist always a generalist. Roaming intellectually is fun for me and I like to bring home my finds for others to enjoy whether it's for mind food or just a good silly laugh.



The new large recipe blog is finished and is called Dennys Food and Recipes. You can find everything from pasta to chocolate to Louisiana food. There are recent food videos and food from other countries like the Olympics food from Canada. The Muffin Monday segments feature bed and breakfast inn recipes from primarily America and Canada to help support small business over Big Business. Supporting small business helps build up and stabilize the economy. It's small business owners who are the heroes of the economic world as they hire at least 70 percent of the workers in America. Supporting them to do well helps you!

Funny Video: Stewart Nails Republicans As Flip-Floppers On BP Escrow Fund

*** Republican double-speak about the BP claims fund. Jon Stewart exposes their constant lying and shows us how funny it all is!





From Denny: Talk about funny when, at the end of the clip, Stewart interviews British comic John Oliver about BP CEO Tony Hayward. It's good to the last second on this clip! :)

Joe Barton's famous shocking BP apology continues to provide fodder for comics to lampoon. It's amazing from how many different angles these guys approach the subject. Stewart included bizarre contradictory statements from Rep. Michelle Bachmann who claims President Obama is an extortionist.

Did you know there is actually something known as The Republican Study Committee? I thought these guys didn't have good reading comprehension. How in the world do they manage to study? There are 114 GOP Congressman members. All of them signed on to endorse the idiot talking point about how they think Obama was extorting private industry. Pull out the heart violins and start the music. Oh, Pah-leez!

Of course, Stewart so delicately points out that first the Republicans were for the claims fund and now they are against it. Make up your little minds, guys. They are just angry they didn't get control of the escrow funds if you ask me.

Funny Video: Colbert Lampoons Barton's BP Apology

*** Laugh at outrageous Colbert as he takes on the conservative outrageous crazies whining about how BP has been taken advantage of by a weak President who doesn't know his own constitution. Read that as the bullies are angry they can't push around the President.


Joe Barton's Misconstrued Misconstruction: Joe Barton apologizes for his misconstrued misconstruction, and pundits call the BP escrow account unconstitutional.

From Denny: Colbert had a field day lampooning crazy Rep. Joe Barton who infamously apologized to BP during the Congressional hearing to the shock of all America. Who is this creep? everyone asked themselves across the nation. Try this one on for size: Barton was the guy who arranged and sat in on the secret energy meetings with Cheney and Bush at the White House, allowing energy lobbyists to write policy and legislation. Now that's creepy.

Colbert also lampoons all the Republican talking heads who foolishly tried to justify Barton's apology and continued to try and define the President's $20 billion BP oil spill claims fund as a "shakedown." Read my lips, conservative freak flags, we on the Gulf Coast don't care what the President or you call it. The President did the right thing in an emergency situation and we stand behind him on that one.

Get a laugh as Colbert banters with the conservative bloated egos about what is or is not constitutional. The perverted insipid thoughts that come out of these people is sheer amazing. Not to fear; Colbert is here to squash those small mean little minds.

Funny Video: Stewarts Take On America's Oil Dependence

*** Stewart thinks America is now listening about getting off oil dependence - or not.





From Denny: Stewart pointed out that President Obama is actually not the first president trying to wean America off our oil dependence. So, Stewart went off on a little history lesson tour starting with Tricky Dick Nixon. To date there have been eight presidents, count them, eight presidents trying to get across to us we have to get serious about moving America toward a non-petroleum based future. We must become independent of fossil fuels. Hmmm... how about telling that to the oil and gas industry that buys up new alternative energy patents so the public never sees them - and so we are forced to continue buying fossil fuels. Anyone see the obvious connection here?

Funny Colbert Video: BP CEO Tony Hayward Is an Evil Box of Priggish Entitled Baking Soda

*** Colbert lampoons BP CEO Tony Hayward and America's attitude of loathing toward his cavalier attitude toward this oil spill.




From Denny: Colbert decides to play Devil's Advocate against the rising tide of vitriol aimed squarely at BP's CEO Tony Hayward for his bumbling of the oil spill clean up. Colbert asks us, "Have you considered abhorring him? How about detesting him? Would it kill you to loathe the guy a little? Come on, people, let's get a little creative here."

Colbert also reminds that BP and Tony Hayward have screwed more people than Tiger Woods. Now there's a piece of trivia to remember for the decades.

Louisiana to NY Mayor Bloomberg: Shut the F Up! - BP Oil Spill Cartoons - 12 June 2010

*** Check out the latest BP oil spill cartoons measuring the impact of Britain, America, Obama and the furious Americans of the Gulf Coast.From Denny: The whole world of the Western Hemisphere is in an uproar over this BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico - as well they should be. The problem is that BP has high level British politicians and other rich billionaires in their greedy irresponsible pockets and are running a disinformation campaign fast and loose. Idiot New York Mayor Bloomberg weighs in on oil spill By the way, to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, "Shut the F up!" Louisiana was there for New York when 9/11 hit. As a poor state we still rustled up enough money to build several new fire trucks and sent them to the fire houses who lost their crews and equipment in the horrific event. The wealthier among us spent thousands and thousands of dollars shopping in New York to rebuild your economy. The last thing Louisiana needs right now is Bloomberg's mean mouth commenting foolishly on the oil spill. Thanks for kicking us when we are down, you political jerk.Idiot BP filing for bankruptcy to avoid responsibility to Gulf CoastThe real problem is BP has lied every step of the way. The bigger problem from the word on the street is that BP plans to file bankruptcy soon in order to avoid paying out their accountability to the American people. In short, the British - who have linked their national name to BP as a source of national pride - have declared economic war on America. The deal is that BP claims they only have $81 billion in net worth. What drugs are they smoking? They have huge oil stores all over the world which is nothing but huge savings accounts squirreled away for a rainy day scenario. "Show me the money!" says the Gulf Coast.Britain's oil war on American economyAs in every war there is a defining moment when it starts. In this case, it's BP who decided to lift their dog's leg and pee all over America's face when our President protested at the incredible damage done to us. Britain's reply? How dare you hurt our reputation! You have got to be kidding me! Britain is destroying the planet's oceans and all they worry about is their "good name"? This Gulf disaster is quickly becoming a world nightmare as there are over 1.7 million gallons of oil still spewing into the Gulf every day. There is now over 100 million gallons of oil in the Gulf and about to make it's way around the world, even to the British shores. Guess it serves them right if the average Brit (somehow I doubt this) is actually gullible enough to believe BP's and their government's constant lying in order to keep the stock value up. Money is more important than the health of the planet or the health of the people on this planet. Shame on them for such low character.Hold BP and Britain accountableKeep up the pressure, Mr. President, and make the rat bastards pay through the nose. And while you are at it, time to freeze their assets. Time to stop them drilling anywhere off America's shores. Time to shut down all their gas stations in America. They want to be weasels then treat them like weasels and cage them into a corner where America is in control.
