  7. @Ran,
    Sheryl Crow has not been stapled to the buffet; she might be tempted to, you know, eat, and even begin to resemble a female of the opposite sex.

  9. Smitty hold off on the crow. After the Gabor sisters Whitman and Fiorina lose us Boxer’s seat and the governorship,you might want to send it back to the kitchen…

  13. Smitty – um, what exactly is a “female of the opposite sex”, if not Rue Paul?

    Maybe she’d be better better off looking like a “female unopposed to sex“, if you catch my drift.

    Yeah, yeah, it’s shameless blogwhoring, but you have to admit, Falero’s babe is a LOT hotter ‘n Crow.

  19. Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame,

    But I know, it is all Bush’s fault.

    Hey sorry for stabbing you in the back Stacy, but I have to tow the party line and blame Bush, even if BP was totally in bed with Barack Obama. I have to cater to my base. I know Obama is screwing it up in the Gulf, but if I change the Katrina narrative, my Coral Reefers might get confused. They can bearly keep it straight now with all the reef…I mean sponge cake.

  23. Does pointing out that one is restraining one’s self from saying “I told you so” still count as having said “I told you so”?

  25. Look, Jimmy’s no political guy. He will freely admit he probably would have followed in the path of 90% or more of pop sensations and frittered his money away had it not been for his Uncle Warren, who knows a thing or two about making money.

    Unfortunately, Warren drank the Democratic Kool Aid long ago, and it seems to have affected Jimmy, too. Of course, he’s a total hypocrite like most rich lefties. Taxes on the rich are “unconscionably” low and ending or limiting the estate tax is “immoral.” By those strong words, you might expect Warren to have made voluntary contributions to the Treasury, and not to try to structure his own estate to avoid any taxes on his death.

    But, you would be wrong if you did.

  31. Winston Groom, the guy who wrote Forrest Gump, lets loose:

    There are approximately 2,000 skimmer craft in the U.S., some large, some small. At present, more than two months after the leak from Deepwater Horizon began, just 400 of these are located in Gulf Coast waters.

    Where are the other 1,600? They are tied up from New York to Alaska and points along the way by federal regulations that confine them to areas that might have an oil spill.
    The Dutch, Norwegians and other nations have massive oil-skimming ships that could deal with that 30-mile-long spill in short order. But because they only capture 96 percent of the oil they skim up and process, and put 4 percent back into the water, they are forbidden by federal EPA regulations to skim up oil slicks such as those headed for our shores.

    Instead, BP is forced to fight the slicks with dispersants that leave 100 percent of the oil still in the water. But that’s OK with the EPA and the clowns in Washington.
    Recently, we were informed by the Press-Register that an oil slick in Mobile Bay could not be skimmed because the owners of the nearly 200 private boats working for BP out of Dog River and Fairhope had not passed an OSHA test for oil handling required by government regulation.

    For two months, 13 oil-producing countries plus the United Nations have offered to send us their huge oil-skimming tankers and other vessels that can collect a thousand times the amount of oil that the shrimp boats or barges, let alone small outboard boats we are currently using, can collect.

    But the Obama administration has dragged its feet on accepting these generous offers because of a labor-union law called the Jones Act that permits only U.S.-built ships crewed by U.S. seamen to operate in U.S. waters. Finally, on Tuesday, the State Department said it was “working out the particulars” of accepting the help.

  37. Ah Smitty, I tried to warn you about Buffett’s fall from grace. Experience is the best teacher, I’m afraid, but she keeps a dear school.

    I’m glad to see that you have repented, however.

  39. BTW– I did like the reference “The Weather is here, I wish you were Beautiful”– knowledge of which shows that you are a student of Buffett’s work, rather than a Margaritaville-inspired dilettante.

    You may all point at me and guffaw now.”

    Been there, done that Smitty!
