glanced over a quick google... it seems oil spills are a common occurrence up there. maybe it ain't newsworthy then?
Funny, the north got along without it for thousands of years. But you keep on deluding your greedy little heart.
If you consider living in a snow hut with no running water or electricity or fresh veggies or government handouts fine.
Celsius is O degrees freezing 100 degrees boiling. More perceptible than 32 degrees freezing and 212 degrees boiling.
No...........But I remember when gas WAS .39 a gallon.
Still do measurements in ft. yds. in., miles........Luddite that I are.
Guess when they completely change the tape measures I'll switch.
Find it amusing when Americans are figuring scale length of instruments in 1/100 ths of inches............Jesus I'd be blinder than I am now.
:lol::lol::lol:.........goodwan, Bones.
I think this is the best way to describe how our system works. While I'm not fully knowledgeable on Corporate taxes, I believe it's close. Others out there will correct me if I've got it wrong

Don't be silly. It's not in Harpo's power to do that.
It was Obama. Thanks Barry.
In reality it was neither of them. The world is a big bad place.
I guess it's just a coincidence that the Oil price has dropped since ISIS started selling Oil at $25.00 a barrel last July......
First al-Omar and now al-Tanak: The extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been making substantial and rapid progress in its conquest of major Syrian oil fields. Together with an Iraqi oil field captured at the end of June, the militants have taken control of wide development areas on both sides of the Syria-Iraq border. And on Thursday (03.07.2014), ISIS reportedly began selling oil out of Iraq.
Iraq's largest oil fields, in the south and thus in a Shiite-controlled area, are not yet seriously threatened. Nevertheless, the rise of ISIS could still lead to further uncertainty in the international oil market.
This new shift toward Iran is likely to spook a current partner of the West: Saudi Arabia. If Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki remains in office and - thanks to help from Iran - is able to hold off ISIS, Saudi Arabia, the leader of the Sunni Muslims, would have to adjust to a strong Shiite presence on its northern borders.
One possible response would be to lower oil prices, something that Saudi Arabia would be able to implement immediately - to the benefit of buyers on the international market.

The group controls approximately 60% of Syria’s oil fields and several oil producing assets in Iraq.
“Put simply, ISIS is in a position to smuggle over 30,000 barrels of crude oil a day to neighbouring territories and countries at a price of between $25 to $60 per barrel depending on the number of middle-men involved,” Khatteeb wrote for Brookings.

BHO doesn't like fracking and has not allowed it on gubmint controlled land. If anything he has kept the price from falling sooner.
