The Perdido spar will bring production in from three fields—Great White, Silvertip and Tobago—with a production design of 130,000 boe/day. The Shell-operated Perdido Regional Development Spar has arrived in the ultra-deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and is currently being secured to the seafloor in 7,816 ft (2,382 m) of water, a process that will take about one month. Perdido will be the deepest oil development in the world, the deepest drilling and production platform in the world and have the deepest subsea well in the world to date. Other partners in the joint venture are BP...

Just watched USA mens beach volleyball team (Gibb/Rosenthal) defeat Spain in a close match and after scoring the winning point the camera showed the wife of one of our guys in the stands and the announcer said " and Mrs. (Gibb or Rosenthal) says "yes we can". Actually she just said Yeah or something like that. Didn't catch the name of the announcer.

We have the left rattled and on the run. For proof, consider three developments from late last week. But first, I want to make a special announcement. Many of you are probably following the story of how House Republicans are staging a protest in the House Chamber, demanding that Nancy Pelosi call the House back into session in order to vote on The American Energy Act, an "all of the above" energy strategy that includes more drilling, funding for scientific breakthroughs, as well as common-sense conservation efforts. (More info on that story below.) Tomorrow at 10am, I will meet with...

Two men. One slogan. Equally qualified for office. Barry and Bob. Perfect together.

Governor Deval Patrick has scheduled a picnic fund-raiser this month at his vacation estate in the Berkshires, where he will once again exploit a method he pioneered for skirting state campaign contribution limits, a funding system the Legislature so far has declined to shut down. Guests at the gathering at the 7,500-square-foot mansion situated on 77 acres in Richmond are being asked to contribute up to $5,500 to the governor's Seventy-First Fund. The fund - as the formal invitation to the soiree explains - divides the contributions between Patrick's campaign and the state Democratic Party

A direct quote: We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!

You must have seen or heard it. It's been repeated ad nauseum by Democrats on floors of both houses of Congress, before TV cameras and radio microphones and at recent campaign events. "We can't drill our way out of this." The donkey party's latest mantra has been hammered home by the usual suspects from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to Barack Obama. Like most Democrat talking points, it's a falsehood. Yes we CAN drill our way out of this. Just the announcement of our intention to drill in any one of the Big Three Forbidden Zones (off the Continental Shelf,...

Support Terrorists? Yes We Can! (Snappy Take on Israel/Obama/Supremes) by Jack Engelhard The meter is running on our survival. From the beginning, Barack Obama has mesmerized the multitudes with his chant, "Yes we can!" His worshipful millions dutifully provide the hallelujah chorus - "YES WE CAN!" Therefore, can we say that Obama supports the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling which grants Gitmo terrorist detainees the same Constitutional rights as American citizens? YES WE CAN! This is what he said in consent: "This is an important step toward re-establishing our credibility as a nation committed to the rule of law." (Since when...

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. From this story: WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama set his sights on November's general election Saturday as he campaigned in Oregon, where he hopes to declare victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.Obama has said Tuesday's primaries in Oregon and Kentucky could mark the end of his drawn-out battle with rival Hillary Clinton, and his campaign pressed home that message by...

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama set his sights on November's general election Saturday as he campaigned in Oregon, where he hopes to declare victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama has said Tuesday's primaries in Oregon and Kentucky could mark the end of his drawn-out battle with rival Hillary Clinton, and his campaign pressed home that message by announcing a symbolic return to Iowa that day. Iowa was the scene of the Illinois senator's first victory in the 2008 presidential nominating race, and his campaign noted Saturday it is "a critical general election state that Democrats must...

Maybe, just maybe, it’s now worth at least asking whether Hillary Clinton might wind up as the Democratic candidate for vice president. When the chatter about a Democratic “dream ticket” began last year, it was easy to dismiss. Either Clinton or Obama would win a clear victory in the primaries and, after what inevitably would be a contentious campaign, each would want as little to do with the other as possible. Clinton, if she emerged victorious, would instead choose some kind of national security graybeard to her political right, a retired general perhaps, or maybe even a Republican. Likewise, Obama...

Even though Barack Obama has "moved on" from the messy association that he has recently been forced to explain to man who had been his pastor for 20 years, it is clear - the voters haven't. There are legitimate questions being raised about a relationship that spans a generation and the beliefs of a man who has on multiple dozens of occasions issued some of the most vitriolic, bigoted, racism imaginable in America today. No doubt one of the most infamous video moments recently unearthed was Jeremiah Wright's use of what he cleverly believed to be a cute play on...

Even before Sen. Barack Obama won his ninth straight contest against Sen. Hillary Clinton, in Wisconsin last Tuesday, wise old heads in the Democratic Party were asking this question: Who will tell her that it's over, that she cannot win the presidential nomination and that the sooner she leaves the race, the more it will improve the party's chances of defeating Sen. John McCain in November? In an ideal though unattainable world, Clinton would have dropped out when it became clear even before Wisconsin that she could not be nominated. The nightmare scenario was that she would win in Wisconsin,...

Barack Obama has cured my gingivitis. I went to a Obama rally and my athletes foot went away. Barack Obama made me feel better about my body image…. Barack Obama gave me hope that I won’t have to pay my mortgage…. I think Barack Obama will shovel my walk after the next snow fall. Yes He Can!!!!! I used to be one of those guys who watched the erectile dysfunction ads on TV; now any I time I need to be aroused I simply play a tape of a Barack Obama speech. Pls. don’t use my name because I am...

From the composer: "I was sitting in my recording studio watching the debates... Torn between the candidates I was never really big on politics... and actually I'm still not big on politics... but 4 years ago, me and the black eyed peas supported Kerry... And we supported Kerry with all our might... We performed and performed and performed for the DNC... doing all we could do to get the youth involved... The outcome of the last 2 elections has saddened me... on how unfair, backwards, upside down, unbalanced, untruthful, corrupt, and just simply, how wrong the world and "politics" are......

Many of us have heard the "Yes We Can" song/video put out by hip-hop artist, "Will.I.Can." The song is a brilliant mix of clips of Obama's N.H. Speech overlaid with singers and guitar that give Obama an almost "rock-star" appeal where no such thing is deserved. This song has IMMENSE POPULIST APPEAL and will no doubt be the theme song for Obama at the Democratic Convention. HOWEVER, beneath all of OBAMA's "feel-good platitudes" and empty promises, there is a heavy Marxist/socialist agenda that the ignorant masses do not understand. They don't understand that everything Obama stands for will cost lots...

See the video. This may look like content-free fluff to us, be Democrats eat this stuff up with a spoon. I was surprised this had not yet been posted on FR. We need to be aware of what is going on out there.

It's a multi-culti, viral moment, calculated specifically for the YouTube Generation and riding the wave of Obamamania right on time for Super Tuesday: acoustic guitar, black-and-white footage, rapper will.i.am., sporting a fedora and looking thoughtful, crooning softly against a backdrop of Barack Obama's rousing concession speech on primary night in New Hampshire. Add in an eclectic contingent of celebrities -- John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- echoing key Obama phrases in English, Spanish and Hebrew.

Listening to Rick Roberts in San Diego this morning he mention doing this. I'm going to pay special attention and hopefully there will be a list of businesses that close for the May Day protests. They will not see my money for a long time if ever again. Our cafeteria in our building will be closed that day. They will never see another dime from me!
