BP Develops Technology to Convert Lies Into EnergyPosted on Jun 20, 2010Fake news by Andy Borowitz LONDON—In what is being called a game-changer for the embattled oil company, BP announced today that it has developed a new technology to convert lies into energy. At a press conference at corporate headquarters in London, BP CEO Tony Hayward said that environmentalists would embrace the new technology “because lies are a totally renewable resource.” Illustrating the impact of BP’s new technology, Hayward told reporters, “Over the past month alone, my words could power the city of London for a year.” But the new technology has its skeptics, including the University of Minnesota’s Davis Logsdon, who warns of the dangers of “lie spills.” “We have learned from recent BP press conferences that once the lie flow starts, it can be very hard to stop,” he says. Award-winning humorist, television personality and film actor Andy Borowitz is author of the book “The Republican Playbook.” Advertisement Previous item: German Captains, U-Boats and Other Lies About Ireland Next item: Chris Hedges Is in the Mountains New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

Then there’s Field of Dreams meets the apocalypse. Or after Waterworld… Yes, Kevin Costner to the rescue? Hey, it certainly beats dropping Nukes 50 miles off the Gulf Coast.

With our politicians, this means unlimitted energy. Whoo-hooo. Hook a politician up to a microphone then crank up the air conditioning!

The reason for widespread lying by pols, media, clergy is that it is very successful. Our languages are not structured for distingishing lies from truths.
In other words, many lies cannot ever be proven as lies. Such statements can be rejected, condemned, people who use them hated, but never proven untrue.
Report thisEspecially in the view that almmost all MSM collumnists, priests, pols, judges, ‘educators’ will alway either shun to talk ab the lies or in fact wld vigourously present them as truth.
tnx

hello. i read recently Beyond Petroleum has discovered the method of intercepting passive electron transfer in plants, between the photosynthesis cycle; and amazingly will be marketing a tree you may purchase as a seedling, which grows to the size of a house: complete with internalized free electricity. add their patented hydroponic rain water capturing system, with a waste compositor directed to the roots: and green you are! you may as well be a vermin. i read they got the idea from the observation of plants growing so much better under high voltage power lines: from the emf variants, or whatever. remarkable green symbiosis of the tree growing at accelerated rates -from the very electricity it generates. they are projecting seedlings to cost about $100,000 Euros, and requiring about 2 years to reach livable heights. hug a tree- i want to have sex with this one. good work BP!
