Anything that came up, I started waiting to see how long it would take for a pundit to blame Clinton. I was rarely disappointed. It was almost inevitable that somehow Clinton would be blamed. <br />I think there is more maturity on kindergarten playgrounds than there is in politics today.Jazz Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440847933151307830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-82045502860858064212010-07-10T05:11:34.571-05:002010-07-10T05:11:34.571-05:00I always thought that JB was a down to earth kind ...I always thought that JB was a down to earth kind of guy. But as the son of a sailor he is obviously off to see the lizard. <br /><br />When Jimmy Buffet sings a horrible rendition of a classic Beatles song, does he blame the Fab Four? When Jimmy gets on a tour bus - does he wish it would run on cow dung? When Jimmy and his crew get on a jet and fly to Paris, France, to do some entertainen', does he ask if the fuel came from friends of Bush? When Jimmy gets in his studio and turns on his amps and recorders and electric guitars does he know where that energy came from? <br />Coal, Oil, Gas, Three Mile Island?<br /><br />It is apparent that there are fruitcakes in floridays these days. You make a stupid statement your going to find yourself in some hot water. If he would like - now is the time to set up that beach house on the moon. Well maybe he should come down to earth and get off his high cumberland jubilee and get serious changes in latitudes and attitudes.<br /><br /> I am waiting for Jimmy's rendition of the BP disaster in a remake of "When the Volcano Blows"<br />Now I don't know<br />I don't know<br />I don't know where I'm a gonna go<br />When the oil rig blows<br /><br />Tar balls under my feet<br />Tidal waves out on the sea<br />Now my girl quickly say to me<br />Mon you better watch your feet<br /><br />No time to count what I'm worth<br />'Cause I just left the planet earth<br />Where I go I hope there's rum<br />Not to worry mon soon come<br /><br />Chorus:<br />One more now I don't know<br />(ah he don't know)<br />I don't know (he don't know, mon)<br />I don't know where I'm a gonna go<br />When the oil rig she blowfitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-65525709708505308972010-07-09T20:31:11.766-05:002010-07-09T20:31:11.766-05:00I think I saw this in the comments section over at...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=519s7fVqg0Q" rel="nofollow">I think I saw this</a> in the comments section over at TOM.

It that is not his agenda, then is incompetence is beyond concept and likely represents malfesaence.<br /><br />As to Bush working with the oil companies, so what. Oil companies are legitimate businesses and we need to assure that they survive, make profits and have a few rules and regulations as possible. Just like we should for every American business. They are the people that employ us, pay the taxes, provide for our pension plans, etc. When did we go to war with business?<br /><br />I want as many people as possible to make grossly high bonuses. I want people to be able to get a job. I want business in every town in Louisiana. We need to help our businesses and reap the profits. We need to fire public employees (except teachers). We need to reduce the size of government. We need fewer taxes and less expenditures and less debt. We need fewer agencies (eliminate DEA, FDA, ATF, and on and on).david7134https://www.blogger.com/profile/09312542857203326560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-66883305124600044392010-07-08T08:15:16.755-05:002010-07-08T08:15:16.755-05:00I can't remember where I heard this or who sai...I can't remember where I heard this or who said it, but someone said it, and I will paraphrase what was said, "this administration can come up with a lot of reasons why something won't work but can't come up with something that can."<br />That pretty much sums it up.G.R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-31422974588141373832010-07-08T01:58:57.046-05:002010-07-08T01:58:57.046-05:00Sooooo......more than one blog asserting that 0bam...Sooooo......more than one blog asserting that 0bama screwed the pooch in the Gulf cleanup means that it's a vicious, inaccurate smear orchestrated by the nefarious vast right wing consiparcy, Anonymous?<br /><br />I'm a pretty lazy individual, but even I was able to cite ABC news and local media articles from New Orleans and Mobile on how dredging for artificial barriers was being stopped by the Coast Guard or EPA.
