Of Top Hats, Top Kills and Bottom Feeders
A point being hammered by supporters of OCS drilling is the crucial role this oil plays in the total U.S. supply. This is bogus. BP is a foreign-controlled, multi-national corporation. Not one drop of the oil taken from Deepwater Horizon necessarily enters the U.S. supply. It is taken to BP-owned refineries at Texas City and other locations and once refined, loaded and shipped to markets around the world. It is disingenuous to portray the oil taken by BP, or any of the multi-nationals, from the Gulf of Mexico as part of the U.S. domestic supply. The Niger delta has been turned into an environmental hell to satisfy the international market, without the finished product or the profits benefiting those paying the ultimate price. Now we're see the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico..., beaches, fisheries, spawning grounds of countless species... not to supply the U.S. with oil, but to supply BP with quarterly profits in the billions of dollars. This isn't GM in 1941, converting automobile production lines to produce tanks or Hughes Aircraft making fighters. BP (and Exxon and Conoco and Texaco and Halliburton and...) have no allegiance to any flag but their own.
And that flag is the Dollar, our dollar.We seem to have dodged the bullet, the blowout has done much less damage than a spill at the surface would have done.Effective regulation must come to these wells and I would like to see these very deep wells reserved for much more desperate times.We must exit from fossil carbon based energy as rapidly as possible.

... Digby links to this very helpful October 2008 McClatchy News report (by David Goldstein & Kevin Hall) of Fannie & Freddie's limited participation in the subprime lending mess
Bloomberg is either ignorant of the facts of the mortgage meltdown or so eager to rid his city of Occupiers that he'll discard the truth. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 did not cause the meltdown of 2007, in no small part because that law didn't apply to the private lenders who dominated the subprime market. The fraudulent practices of those lenders and the financial derivatives the private investment houses used to turn the subprime market into an elaborate game of hot potato were left unregulated by the federal government — but that's not even the basis for Bloomberg's criticism of Washington. He claims Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 'made a bunch of loans' even though they (1) do not make loans, and (2) were backing out of insuring subprime loans as private, unregulated firms rushed into the derivatives casino. -- Alan Pyke, Political Correction

BorowitzReport
http://www.realitychex.com/"... Adam Nagourney of the New York Times: "From Los Angeles to Wall Street, from Denver to Boston, homeless men and women have joined the protesters in large numbers, or at least have settled in beside them for the night. While the economic deprivation they suffer might symbolize the grievance at the heart of this protest, they have come less for the cause than for what they almost invariably describe as an easier existence.... But their presence is posing a mounting quandary for protesters and the authorities, and divisions have arisen among protesters across the country about how much, if at all, to embrace the interlopers. The rising number of homeless, many of them suffering from mental disorders, has made it easier for Occupy’s opponents to belittle the movement as vagrant and lawless and has raised the pressure on municipal authorities to crack down." ...
