That is One Fat Nation

Face it, the USA has become the fattest country on the Earth and apparently that is now causing trouble for the military. How?
“What we were finding was that the soldiers we’re getting in today’s Army are not in as good shape as they used to be,” said Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who oversees basic training [...]

Killing is too Good for Her

This lady killed her kids.  She admitted it. Granted there will be a trial, as there “should be”, but she admitted that she murdered them and that she tried to cover it up. To quote msnbc.com “Investigators were not convinced when Duley said her sons, ages 2 years and 18 months, drowned after her car [...]

Global Warming I Laugh at Thee

Everybody knows that global warming is a scam. It has never been proven and there is nothing going on right now in the world that points to global warming being anything more than a marketing stunt. Sure the largest glacier to break free since 1962 just broke off of Greenland and is now floating its [...]

Vaccines – Whooping Cough Outbreak

We here at Blinkinblogs debate the usefulness of Vaccines on a regular basis, or it seems that is like what we are doing. In actuality we are normally debating just one – the H1N1 vaccine and its time to market seeming a tad quick along with some of the materials in it being in question. [...]

Pictures from the Gulf

Ahh the Gulf of Mexico, so beautiful this time of year. I love everything about it. The beaches, the weather, the soft sand, the food of the locales that one may visit. The islands are a lush paradise with amazing offerings of their own. I particularly love the oil slick that has destroyed all that [...]

“We’re going to have to evacuate the gulf states,” said Matt Simmons, founder of Simmons and Co., an oil investment firm and, since the April 20 blowout, the unflagging source of end-of-the-world predictions. “Can you imagine evacuating 20 million people? . . . This story is 80 times worse than I thought.” [...]

As We Said – It is Worse than You Know.

The fine folks here and Blinkinblogs are known for being snarky professional jerks and have been accused more than once of being fear mongers, conspiracy theorists etc. The funny part to me regarding those accusations is the material we report on here at Blinkinblogs we didn’t make up – somebody else did – and we are [...]

More Gulf Drama

As we all know there is a disaster of potentially biblical proportion going on in the Gulf of Mexico that includes lots of gushing oil, corporate drama, and political warfare.  BP announced  just a week ago that they are starting to solve the problem by collecting much of the gushing oil (there is a debate [...]

Toxic Gases in the Gulf?

Remember a few days ago when I wrote about toxic gases flying around in the air from the Gulf Oil Spill? Some of you may have scoffed. “But Thraxxus, we haven’t heard that in MSM!!!” Fine. Watch this:

Gulf Oil Spill Update – Oops We Were Wrong.

According to this MSNBC.COM article :
“The Deepwater Horizon well has most likely spewed 25,000 to 30,000 barrels of oil a day, more than previously estimated, according to a group of scientists appointed by the federal government to study video of the dark geyser at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.
The new estimate suggests that, if the [...]

630,000 Gallons of Oil? One day? »

630,000 Gallons of Oil? One day?

BP reportedly captured 630,000 gallons of oil yesterday! GREAT JOB BP!
Hang on a second – math time.
There are 42 gallons to a barrel – so 630,000 / 42 = 15,000 barrels.
Remember? They aren’t capturing all of it either.
What was the original stated amount per day? 5,000 barrels. But wait – if they are capturing 15,000 [...]

Knife Attack Rates Up!

Recently in the World News there has been a series of reported knife attacks – many in China. I bring this up for a few reasons, and realize I am not trying to convince anyone of anything:
1) In England Knife related crimes have skyrocketed – Anti Gun laws were recently made more stringent.
2) In China [...]

Something to Ponder…

Interesting highlight from the GreenNet conference yesterday. “This year, for the first time in history, our landfills were filled with more adult diapers than baby diapers” — referring to the significant shift of age demographics in this country.
