You Pay For What You Get

Gov. Bobby Jindal toured part of Louisiana's vast coastal marsh this past Wednesday and found thick, oily sludge encroaching on the fragile ecosystem.

"We saw some heavy oil stranded in the wetlands. The oil is no longer just a projection or miles from our shore. The oil is here. It is on our shores and in our marsh," Jindal said at a news conference after the airboat tour in Plaquemines Parish.




Unfortunately for his home state of Louisiana, Jindal sponsored the Deep Ocean Energy Resources Act in 2006. It was a bill aimed at eliminating the moratorium on offshore oil and gas drilling over the U.S. outer continental shelf. He and other Republicans, like Sarah Palin argued that increased drilling would greatly reduce American dependence on foreign oil.

I love this little quote (Below) from The Heritage Foundations's website
(Located halfway down the page under The DOER Act)

"Myth: Drilling poses great risks of oil spills. The last major offshore oil spill in America occurred off of Santa Barbara in 1969. Critics of offshore drilling still refer to this incident, but much has changed in the interim. Drilling technology has greatly advanced in recent decades, and any new drilling will have to comply with strict safeguards that did not exist then."


And who can forget the 2008 Republican National Convention?





DRILL BABY DRILL!









I mean really ... What could possibly go wrong?






It's truly beyond me why no reporter has the guts to ask Bobby Jindal if he regrets that pro drilling stance now.

Pandering with Palin

It is translucently clear why Sarah Palin has been picked to run on the ticket with John McCain.

Republicans are obviously targeting women.

Primarily, the disenchanted Hillary Clinton supporters who are still reeling from her loss to Barack Obama.




Do they really think women are stupid enough to buy into this?

This faux woman has about as many things in common with Hillary Clinton as Bob Guccione has with Mother Theresa.

In fact, Palin has openly accused Clinton of being a "whiner"

*Sarah is fanactically pro-life and pro NRA.

*Palin is also the subject of a legislative probe into claims that she abused her office by trying to get her former brother-in-law fired from his job as an Alaska state trooper.

*In this clip from Kudlow and Co., she addresses this investigation and actually asks the question "What is it exactly that the Vice President does?




*She firmly believes that global warming is not a man-made phenomenom.

*She strongly supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

*She has supported the aerial shooting of wolves and bears in Alaska.




*She politically supports Pebble Mine, an open-pit gold mine which will destroy some of the best trout and salmon fishing grounds in the world.

Are you kidding me?

I can only take a wild guess at the right-wing moron that must have headed up this selection committee?




This choice is so surprisingly bad, that it makes me laugh and simultaneously breathe a sigh of relief.

Sarah Palin stands about as much chance of being Vice President as I stand of being the President.

Jesus used to hang out with a prostitute, so I really think he would have made a better Democrat.

"A moment I've been dreading. George [Bush] brought his ne're-do-well

son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the

political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all

the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and

HAS NEVER HAD A REAL JOB. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New

Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or

something. That looks like easy work"

Bum Rap (No pun intended)

Far be it for me to stand up for a Republican Senator, but I really think that Larry Craig (R-Idaho) is being treated extremely unfairly.

For those of you who do not already know what happened, Senator Larry Craig (Mug shot below) was arrested on June 11th by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.




A Capitol Hill newspaper reported Monday that Senator Craig was arrested at the Minneapolis airport after the undercover police officer noticed a man in a restroom stall tapping his foot, which the officer called a "known signal to engage in lewd conduct".

I HAVE THREE THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER.

1) There is no way I am going to listen to my ipod video in the men’s bathroom ever again.

2)There is NO WAY that Senator Craig is gay.

Senator Craig ...

* Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. (Jun 2006)
* Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to the definition of hate crimes. (Jun 2002)
* Voted NO on expanding hate crimes to include all sexual orientation. (Jun 2000)
* Voted YES on prohibiting same-sex marriage. (Sep 1996)
* Voted NO on prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation. (Sep 1996)

If he was ... he would be a hypocrite.

3) I think they should ask the arresting officer (Pictured below) how he knows about the secret signal to engage in gay sex.

Cold Cash

After railing for months against Congressional corruption under Republican rule, Democrats on Capitol Hill are divided on how far their proposed ethics overhaul should go.

Those for the new ethics rules:

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, promised “the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.”

Senator Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat, said he was pushing for changes with more teeth.

Those against them:

Representative John P. Murtha, Democrat of Pennsylvania, was embarrassed by disclosures last week that he had dismissed the leadership proposals with a vulgarity at a private meeting.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who will oversee any proposal as the incoming chairwoman of the Rules Committee, said she was opposed to an independent Congressional ethics watchdog.

I have a strong feeling that I can accurately guess what House Democrat William J. Jefferson (Rep Louisiana’s 2nd congressional district) thinks of these new proposals.
