In today’s USA Today (4/3/13), this headline stood out:
It’s not that the headline finding would be all that surprising–most people aren’t much aware of any particular pipeline, and if they read the papers (like, say, USA Today) they’re very likely to hear that it’s a no-brainer job creator.
Those polled did not turn against oil pipelines, even though those with ESP could have seen this oil spill in their future. (cc photo: NWF)
What’s really noteworthy is the subhead about the “new oil spill” not seeming to have a big impact–a reference to the ExxonMobil’s Pegasus pipeline leak in Arkansas. As the paper noted, “The numbers come amid continuing efforts to clean up a major new oil spill in Arkansas.”
But “come amid” is another way of saying “entirely unrelated to.” The poll was conducted, as the paper notes, between March 13-17. The current pipeline spill happened on March 30.
It appears the timeline’s as reliable as the pipeline.
But they haven’t taken new poll yet (and of course won’t since it would then ruin the old one) so that means they can use that one, since Old Cherries are more sweet then the new ones just coming in.
I bet if they polled in Arkansas it would be unprintable.
Pecksniffian;-hypocritically and unctuously affecting benevolence or high moral principles.
USA Today is as unctous, that is as OILY, as ExxonMobile
Most Americans don’t know what an oil spill with oil from fracking can do, You think the Gulf oil spill was bad? This type of oil is much different, it does not float and is extremely hard to clean up. It would contaminate and poison the ground water, land and lakes for years to come. Saving a couple a dollars is not worth this risk. Wake up America…educate yourself on this…you owe it to your kids!
We have a few cards left in our deck.But only a few.Fracking has its problems(earthquakes for instance)And oil exploration has its spills.But the massive energy finds in this country are our only hope to saving ourselves from economic ruin.So you see the spending the printing and the borrowing will all grind to a halt sooner or later.Then all the programs will be unfounded.Principle,and tree hugging is going to have to wait until we can put food back on the table.You have spent the family’s fortune.Dont tell us how to go back to work.To the true work of recreating wealth.You dont have a clue.Never have.
Very nice post keep it up and thanks for sharing with us. If you don’t mind dear i also want to share a newly developed site which is very useful for spill cleanup because it provide useful products for spill cleanup and control. http://ternenv.com
