Most of us have heard the old "You might be a redneck if" jokes. One of my favorites was, "You might be a redneck if you mow your front lawn and find an old Ford truck." Another one was, "You might be a redneck if your mother flips her cigarette in the officer's face when he asks to see her license."

Being born and bred in the country I've always found these to be hilarious because I can see a little truth in each one. This diary is meant for nothing more than to entertain and bring out some new ideas. The repubs are very fond of stereotyping Liberals all communist, or all fags or - well you know what I mean.

So, in this diary I'm doing a little political stereotyping of my own based on a lot of observations I've made through the years.

Please add your own and enjoy.

The media has been ablaze as of late with reports about BP's lax safety standards, their cutting of corners, their operating on the cheap, and on and on and on. As someone who has worked in the oil industry for years and who's company does business with BP on a regular basis, I would like to attempt to set the record straight.

Don't get me wrong - I am not writing this diary to exonerate British Petroleum nor to get them off the hook, but a little insight into what kind of company they actually are, how they operate on a daily basis, and the dangers of offshore drilling in general can't hurt at this point.

If you are interested in the truth - please bear with me and follow below.

The Republican "Deathers" have been going about lately spewing their sewage about Obama's alleged Death Panels. That's all you hear on MSM, talk radio, and Fox. They are working themselves up into a frenzy about a subject I dare say most of them know absolutely nothing about.

I have been on a true death panel. A panel charged with the task of deciding the life or death of another beloved human being. This is serious business folks - a business like no other a person can be a part of or in our case - forced to be a part of.

This is my first diary and probably my last, but it is from my heart so please bear with me and follow below.
