Misreading a Headline, but Remaining Connected to Reality
— Russ from Winterset

OK, so this is just another reason to link a worthy blog: So what? If you don't read "Just One Minute" regularly, then you should seriously consider doing so. He was one of my Daily Reads back during the Valerie Plaime Payback Tour & the Duke Lacrosse scandal, and he's just as good now as he was then.

What made me link to this article was my mis-reading of the enclosed headline: I thought that "Efforts to REPEL Gulf Oil Spill..." was "Efforts to REPEAL Gulf Oil Spill...".

Well, to be honest, Legislative Repeal of the tragedy would probably have just as much effect on the oil lapping at Louisiana's shoreline as any other idea coming out of the Obama braintrust, so why not give 'er a whirl?

Can we impotently rail against the half-assed response to the spill that should have been our responsibility in the first place? YES. WE. CAN.

Well they may have totally effed up the response to the disaster but at least they'll be able to salvage Cap and Trade out of it.

17 Hey, you know what?  This thread could actually turn into a funny one if we all sat down and spun out our favorite Possible Conspiracy Theories regarding Obama, BP, and The Well.

I'll go first and say that this was all about spreading that Black Oil from The X-Files into the gulf.  Alien takeover of the pelicans, bitches!

E-Bay has begun auctioning Obama Administration slightly used Tin Foil Hats, and all proceeds will be donated to charity.  After a small 40% handling fee of course.

20 Apropos of nothing, through the marvel that is bittorrent, I have been downloading old episodes of sundry series; the Tudors, Dead like Me etc. 

One thing I find interesting is how much the actors have to learn/create their characters.  I just watched the pilot of Dead Like Me and was struck by how different the characters behaved by the end of the 2nd season.  Seinfeld is another where watching the early stuff makes you go Who the hell are these guys.

You all really need to read this article about the relationship of the governments response to the oil spill with the general ineptitude of the Obama administration.

Janet Napalitano looks like Joey Napalitano, except if you beat him in the face with a meat tenderizer for 20 minutes and then cut his hair with a cereal bowl as a guide.

Other that that, she's a hottie.

Watching Obama not-so deftly parlay this disaster into a plea for cap-n'-tax was  repugnant.  His _continued_ failure to waive the Jones Act while pelicans and dolphins are dying really makes me sick to my stomach.  And killing 300,000  jobs with his 'six-month' (probably more like ten years in reality) moratorium was the last straw.

He's a partisan ideologue who's about one tenth as smart as he thinks he is.   

I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico in Sarasota.  I'm beginning to think the area may not  recover in my lifetime.  Just in case these relief wells fail I'd really like know what happens if you pump one billion barrels of oil into the ocean.

I reside in Juno Beach, Florida on the east coast, and we are mobilized if the oil reaches our shore.  All municipalities are fighting over the prisoners, little old ladies wearing tennis shoes, and especially the indignant liberals who wish to save the turtles.

No, Bobby Jindal is not a Sikh. However, my Sacred Honor and Unimpeachable Personal Integrity compel me to admit that I sucked his cock in a truckstop parking lot on several occasions.

Up next:  One week before the 2012 South Carolina Presidential Primary, My Sacred Honor and Unimpeachable Personal Integrity compel me to admit that I fucked Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty.  At the same time.  And possibly others, but we'll have to see who else is running first (for the record, I'd love me some Mike Pence, but I wouldn't touch Mitch Daniels with a ten-foot pole).  Stay tuned for more.
