HELEN THOMAS ASKS OBAMA BIG AFGHAN QUESTION IN THE MIDDLE OF OIL SPILL PRESS CONFERENCE.
Wow, how old is she now? 80? I saw the documentary on her and found her to be such a hoot. She's questioned more presidents than anybody today and she is still focused on bringing back our young men and women (fitting so close to Memorial Day).
So that was her question: When are going to bring them home and don't give us a bunch of bulls&*^t (or "Bushisms").
The President did his best to explain the extremists there and that they're still a threat and that they need to be neutralized and that and that and that...
Helen talks in the Bay Area from time to time to a crowd that overwhelmingly endorses her. It's so fun to watch her get picked to ask her questions. Looks like Obama even relishes it.

RIGHT ABOUT NOW AS THE OIL BEGINS TO DISRUPT LIFE AND ANGER VOTERS LIVING IN THE RED STATE COASTAL TOWNS, REPUBLICANS ARE BEGINNING TO MAYBE RETHINK THIS WHOLE OIL DRILLING THING.
Now you see in the media conservatives flailing their hands on both sides...those that hate Obama because he's putting pressure on BP and those that hate Obama because he's not putting enough pressure on BP.
Rand called him "unpatriotic" for putting pressure on British Petroleum. The governor of Louisiana said he's not doing enough.
Right about now maybe YOU'RE glad that you're not president!
The fault is BP's, plain and simple. They started the mess, they have to clean it up. Heck, the conservatives that fought all the "hippies" for the right to drill should be the one's cleaning it up.
As the slick gets bigger, so does the blame. Don't get lost in the sludge of who's to blame. Trace it do the beginning, and hold those folks' feet to the fire.

LET'S KEEP AN EYE ON THE OIL GUYS AND THE COAL GUYS! IT'S PATRIOTIC AND IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE AVOID MORE HORRIBLE CATASTROPHES!
Rand Paul said it was unpatriotic for the Obama administration to say it was going to keep the boot on BP till they finish the horrible mess that they started. Is Rand furreal? I don't see on what planet that would even be mildly misconstrued as unpatriotic!
For one thing, BP stands for BRITISH Petroleum. Yeah, wrong country, dope!
For another, what's wrong with defending the beauty that makes our country great? Does Rand want all those birds to die so that they'll stop flying around annoying his teaparty friends who hate seeing anything else in the sky except the black smoke belching into it from the industries that he promotes?
And speaking of black smoke...and black lung, I heard the poor man who was one of the survivors of the horrible coal mining disaster testifying today that the Massey owners told him if he complained about any of the things they were doing wrong he'd be fired. You could hear in his voice the amount of dust and minerals he'd accumulated. The poor guy. To see his friends die because the company operated in such a terrible-BP-sort-of way.
Let's keep the boot to all these idiots that believe they are above the law. That they are above the forces of nature that will bite us in the ass if we don't watch out! Birds are dying, sea life is dying, the Gulf is dying because of a horrible foreign oil company doing the most damaging thing to our beautiful ecosystems. We threw tea into the Boston harbor to get rid of the British. Oil trumps tea, especially the millions of gallons that have burbled up in the past couple of weeks. In the end, though, it's a war between us and the big corporations that don't care about us.
The founding fathers knew what was patriotic. Some opportunistic politician with a name like "rand" has no clue.

AFTER THIS BP MESS, CAN YOU REALLY SAY ANYTHING AGAINST REGULATION?
Some people say regulation will kill this country. Well, we've seen what's happened with the economy, with the coal mine industry, and with the Gulf being forever sullied.
We are a world that, left to its own devices, will NOT do the right thing. Yes, government is the only thing with the force to stop the injustices that big unscrupulous companies will do to the planet.
If there is one iota of peril involved with anything the big corporations are doing. If they can threaten even one human being with their decisions, then they must be watched.
I am so disgusted with BP. What they are doing in the Gulf is a make-it-up-as-we-go-along scenario. They mean to tell you that they did NO PLANNING WHATSOEVER in the case of an emergency. Ironic how the red states will be the ones who will endure the immediate consequences.
BP passed the buck when put on the hot seat on Capitol Hill. They've acted like irresponsible children. How did we ever let such ingrates have a permit to drill in our waters? Who is standing behind BP now that they have shown to the world how horrible they are?
Do your part. Avoid BP gas stations. Endorse any candidate or any proposition the promotes regulating and restricting companies that could force another environmental catastrophe on us.
The media, yes ALL media, has done so little to bring this story to the fore. I think that's a product of the right-wing more than anything. After all, it's their desire that we drill and destroy all of our beautiful American coastline.
All for a lousy buck.

NBC STANDS FOR NOTHING BUT CANCELED!
So first they cancel my sweet red headed freak Conan. Then they cancel a show I don't watch any more called "Law & Order." Now they've canceled "Heroes." What gives?
I get the feeling NBC is similar to a radio corporation I worked for who decided when the ship was sinking to run around and throw everyone overboard.
It will be interesting to see what they come up with to fill all these canceled shows. I must say I am a fan of the "Parenthood" program. This is mainly because of the two actors I love, Lauren Graham and Craig T. Nelson, are fantastic on it. Sometimes that show is so on the money with being fresh and original. Of course, how original can a show be that's launched from a movie that came out 20 years ago?
