Anybody watching this tripe on FX "Oil Storm"?

[Defendingliberty]

It sounds like leftist TV run wild.

[muawiyah]

It doesn't start for 3 more minutes.

[Defendingliberty]

it started at 8pm here in the east, My wife has it on. It's total crap.

[muawiyah]

I'm in the East and my cable system is starting it at 9. Must be to compete the 4400 or something.

I am watching D-Day on the History Channel. Real hero's

Watched it until I heard someone say the government HAD TO support farmers. I'm in the electrical business. A whole lot of people would die without safe, reliable power. Because it's vital to the nation's interests, should I be supported by the govt. so I can stay in business. I got an idea, maybe I could make my business model profitable and tell the govt. to do the job we gave them in the Constitution.

A whole lot of people would die without safe, reliable power.

Let's not get too overdramatic here. We seemed to survive prior to electricity. Granted, it would take some serious adjustment if it were gone, but most people would survive.

Jay: "IT STINKS!"

[Rodney Dangerfield]

What? The gas-station owner's kid in the military died in that attack on the Arab oil transfer station?

Who could have seen *that* coming? /sarcasm.

God, what a load of left-wing crap!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

"Food not Oil!
"Food not Oil"
"Food not Oil"

Does it get any more blatant than this?

I watched about the first 3 mins of it then flipped it back on during commercials while I was watching something else.

It was total tripe.

Did they even mention our Strategic Petroleum Reserves?

And I did catch the end where PUTIN comes in to save the day!

[HEY4QDEMS]

It sounds like leftist TV run wild.

It's funny you should say that. I really had no interest in watching until I heard a lefty conspiracy theorist go on about how this movie was secretly financed by the Bush's and by big oil to scare us into allowing additional pipelines in the gulf of Mexico and allow drilling in ANWR.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Did they even mention our Strategic Petroleum Reserves?

They mentioneed the "SPR" at least ten times.

[GoDuke]

Sorry, I forgot to put /sarcasm at the end.

[OXENinFLA]

They mentioneed the "SPR" at least ten times.

What did they say about them? They ran dry?

[HEY4QDEMS]

Keep in mind this was a docudrama, but it was first mentioned that it was near capacity, and that it's soul purpose was to offset any significant interuption of supply which was the case in this instance.

It was then anounced that the reserves will be tapped.

Later the SPR was shut off from the private sector as the most recent assessments indicted that this will be a protracted problem and that the reserves should be available to areas of critical and strategic importance.

At least that's how they played it out.

For all the hype, it really was more laughable than thoughtful. Certainly not worth watching again.

I'm watching this piece of thinly-veiled propaganda even as I type this. Some lady ambulance worker is lamenting the death of her mother due the the intense cold.

I guess Darwin is vindicated if she wasn't smart enough to get herself a couple of blankets.

[macsmind76]

Soros underwrote it....

Go figure!

[Caesar Soze]

Not really. If Darwin had been correct, she would've died before she had reproduced. That's the whole point of Darwinism -- inferior organisms fail to pass on their genes.
