ARE WE KIDDING???

I turned on the TV this morning and the talking heads were pontificating on everything from the BET awards, to Cindi Lauper reliving her success of 20+ years ago telling us that "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," to the World Cup, a bunch of grown men kicking a ball up and down a field and getting paid millions to do it. ALMOST NOTHING about our world's most serious problem, the millions of gallons of crude oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. Why the Hell is the 4th Estate (media) not covering this 100% of the time, around the clock, and beating up on the oil company and politicians until they say UNCLE? Why are the townspeople not gathered in Washington with torches and pitchforks like in an old Lon Cheney movie? Why do we care more about Jon and Kate, the freakin' Octomom, and American Idol than we do about this DISASTER? And where are all the Tree-Huggers ? With the gas mileage that their Hybrid vehicles get you would think that they would have driven to DC and camped out at 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue shouting "Where's the change you promised us?" If I were one of those spotted-owl-lovers I would really be disappointed with the choice I made in the last presidential election. The expectations of the Right have been met. They knew Obama was a socialist and are not surprised. The Left thought he would somehow rid the world of war, famine, and pestilence by his brilliance and promises but he has betrayed them with the old bait and switch.

Anyway, do you live anywhere near Florida? Are you ready to have your waterfront home worth the price of a doublewide in Little Rock? If not, why are you not on the phone all day everyday with that phony congressmen you contributed campaign money to? If you live elsewhere and you think "to Hell with the old people in Florida, it doesn't affect us"...think again. It is one more nail in the coffin of the american economy. The Undertaker is our government, and the eulogy is being given with a teleprompter. Wake up, America, you have sprung a leak, and the lifeboat is sinking.

  2. I guess "if it bleeds it leads" doesn't pertain to oil.

    How about the fact that 20 million gallons of sewage were accidentally leaked into Biscayne Bay and the news of this only appeared in the online version of the Miami Herald?!

    My favorite "news flash" is the one that came in today: Mr. Holier Than Thou himself, Elliot Spitzer, will be getting his very own prime time show on CNN. It's all show biz in the end, ain't it.
