Jesse Jackson Tries Screwing his Peeps (again)

Jesse Jackson is (predictably) trying to gin up support for a boycott against BP.
Once again, Jesse the race baiter, Jesse the hater, Jesse the bloated tick (as one commenter so aptly put it) is getting it all wrong and probably making money off it.
If BP stations are boycotted, only the franchise owners will suffer.
If the company is truly harmed, they will not be as effective in cleaning up their mess or being safer in the future.

So what does Jesse (the defender of the hard working American "little guy") say about the people who will lose their jobs because of him?: "There's gonna be tension between sacrifice and jobs," Jackson said. "In the meantime, we cannot stand idly by and allow those workers to stand between us and the right to breathe free, the right for fish to live, the right for wildlife to live." 
Somehow, I suspect if asked how he feels about the shrimpers in the gulf losing work, he will state that no one should be out of work because of the greedy oil company.

America for sale (again)

Foreign banks are picking the bones of American institutions being shut down by the feds.
Lobbyists and money are apparently flooding Washington in a financial feeding frenzy.

One explanation for their success and the ignorance of lawmakers and bureaucrats is in this quote:
“They’re taking advantage of the fact that they’re not thought of as Wall Street. They’re below the radar screen because nobody’s ever heard of Barclays or Deutsche Bank.”

So, millions of dollars are flowing and our banks will be owned by foreigners after being closed due to the decisions of people affected by the politicians that not only caused this mess, but are now profiting from its effects.

Would you still feed him now he's past 64?

Paul McCartney's Liberal credentials are etched in granite and lined with gold. 
He made big bucks from his "Let's all share and love each other" style of music (even though he and his bandmates used every trick in the book to avoid paying the UK's confiscatory taxes).
Now he is telling us (and especially the truth telling English press) to lay off Obama.
Why? Because he likes him!
What a tool!
There are lots of actors (and singers) who's work I like, but who's politics I hate.
Is Sir Paul so blind he can't see what a loser of a president Barry is?
Obviously he does not realize that telling foreigners how they should feel about their leaders is a third rail you should not touch.

Woman douses self with oil at White House

An unidentified woman doused herself with an oily substance, triggering a hazmat situation and arrest.

If Clinton were still in residence I would believe this was just another weird woman that Bubba had mesmerized.

Update: It turns out that this fool was not protesting the oil leak, but was protesting Obama's meeting with Peruvian President Alan Garcia Perez.


The obliviot in question is Q'orianka Kilcher, 20 played Pocahontas in the 2005 "The New World".
Well, that explains it all.

Call in the cartoon cops

Somebody stole a bunch of valuable virtual furniture in Finland.
Yep, my imaginary leather sofa has gone missing and I want it back!

Kids sick from antifreeze

Children at a Queens school became sick after drinking water that was apparently contaminated with antifreeze.
This raises some questions:
Why were they drinking plain, water fountain water? I thought everyone drank sodas or bottled water and juice.
Why was a fluid used in the air conditioning system in the drinking water pipes? (Union plumbers perform repairs at schools, but a "contractor" was blamed.)

Well, as long as they stay away from Obama's cool aid, I'm good.

I blame BP

A tropical storm has killed more than 100 people in South America. Obviously this large sink hole is due to the oil leak in the gulf.
