Haven’t ranted in awhile so I thought I would get a little of it out of my system. Here we go!
1. We’re well into the second month of this oil spill and the only individual representing the government who looks like he has any idea of what he is doing is Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen. All of the other academics, idealists and social advocates inhabiting the Obama Administration can’t even figure out how to give a unified response much less a real direction for the Administration to go in handling this “crisis.” Even the folks on his hastily formed response advisory team have no real experience in dealing with a disaster such as this. Congratulations to Admiral Allen – Maybe he would consider a run for the White House!
2. The liberal icon that inhabited the front row of the White House Press Room for 50 years preying on those at the podium like a rabid lion hunting legless gazelles, Helen Thomas, is gone. Many times in the past her anti-Semitism had been spoken of; however, due to her iconic value to the liberal press, her prejudice towards the state of Israel was often overlooked. But after 50 years in the White House Press Corps, she finally let her tongue get the best of her and blasted Israel from a purely anti-Semitic point of view exposing her prejudice and causing her removal from a pressroom she should have been made to leave decades before. Goodbye Helen, enjoy anonymity.
3. The President speaking at a high school commencement ceremony in Kalamazoo, Michigan said that we are all responsible for ourselves and should take responsibility for our actions. Then later he blamed President Bush for _________ (fill in the blank here).
4. 21 year-old Stephen Strasburg made his Major League debut with the Washington Nationals tonight and the number one pick from last year’s draft did not disappoint. He just matter-of-factly went out and struck out 14 batters in route to a 5-2 win for the Nationals over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yes it’s only the Pirates, but still, what a job. Oh, and he threw the ball 100 mph with movement – Incredible.
5. Finally; Avatar…if someone who liked that movie could explain to me the reason so many people thought it was so good I would love to hear your theories. I had to go back and watch the prequel again to understand it, but then daughter told me the Smurfs had nothing to do with Avatar, maybe that has something to do with why Avatar didn’t seem good to me. But it did remind me a major question I have always had, why is there only one female Smurf?
Well, it’s time to get some shuteye. See y’all later!
Bill
