Casety Stengel once said of his

incompetent Mets.... "Can't anybody here play this game?"

After having to wait 17 days for permission to build the sand barriers.... after watching Obamie refuse help from countries that know how to contain leaks because he didn't want to go against the unions..... after watching him dispatch lawyers instead of engineers and make a fool out of himself with his threats....

We now have this:

Eight days ago, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered barges to begin vacuuming crude oil out of his state's oil-soaked waters. Today, against the governor's wishes, those barges sat idle, even as more oil flowed toward the Louisiana shore

"It's the most frustrating thing," the Republican governor said today in Buras, La. "Literally, yesterday morning we found out that they were halting all of these barges

Sixteen barges sat stationary today, although they were sucking up thousands of gallons of BP's oil as recently as Tuesday. Workers in hazmat suits and gas masks pumped the oil out of the Louisiana waters and into steel tanks. It was a homegrown idea that seemed to be effective at collecting the thick gunk.

"These barges work. You've seen them work. You've seen them suck oil out of the water," said Jindal.

why stop now?

"The Coast Guard came and shut them down," Jindal said. "You got men on the barges in the oil, and they have been told by the Coast Guard, 'Cease and desist. Stop sucking up that oil.'"

A Coast Guard representative told ABC News today that it shares the same goal as the governor.

"We are all in this together. The enemy is the oil," said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Dan Lauer.

Oh, really? Frankly Dan, I think you are a confused bureaucrat pretending to be a leader in the Coast Guard. Shame on you for that. Why do I say that?

But the Coast Guard ordered the stoppage because of reasons that Jindal found frustrating. The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.

I just wonder if any of these supposedly smart people thought about checking these things while the barge was doing its job.

Oh, I know that these was some small degree of risk and if anything happened his rear would be on the line. But taking charge and doing what needs to be done comes with the terriority. He didn't. And that's why I say that Dan ain't a Cmdr....

Why, if you don't know about the people running,

you absolutely positively should not just "pick" a name.

Wanna see a video of a dofus? Click here.

She also probably voted for Obama because she recognized the name "Hussein."

You know, I couldn't make this stuff up. But if I did no one would believe me.

Concealed carry permit holder saves lives

Tell me again that an armed populace doesn't stop crime.

Deputies with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office are investigating a shooting in Winnemucca early Sunday morning that left three people dead and others injured.

The shooting happened at the Player's Bar & Grill on South Grass Valley Road.

Investigators say a feud between two local families is behind the early-morning shooting inside the bar. Three men from Winnemucca died from gunshot wounds, and two others are in critical condition at the hospital.

Deputies say about 2:25 a.m., 30-year-old Ernesto Villa Gomez walked into the bar and starting shooting. 20-year-old Jose Torres and his 19-year-old brother Margarito Torres were killed. When Villa Gomez was reloading his semi-automatic gun, a man from Reno took out a gun and shot Villa Gomez. That man has a concealed weapons permit.

The unidentified man who shot Villa Gomez is not expected to be charged in this incident; law enforcement call it a justifiable homicide.

Local police, the Sheriff's Office and the Nevada Highway Patrol are preparing for retaliation from one or both of the families, and rumors are already circulating in the small town of Winnemucca. There is a sense of sadness for losing three local men in this violent incident.

The Player's Bar & Grill was full of about 300 people, because a local biker event "Runnemucca" is going on this holiday weekend.

You have to wonder how many others would have been killed if the guy with the concealed weapon had not been there.

Hat tip to "pickinfool."

Now they want to give Obama the power to

shut down the Internet.

No President. Repeat no President, Demo or Repub should be given this power.

I mean I couldn't make this stuff up. I just emailed my two Senators. Here is a
link to a site that will give you your Senator's telephone number and email address.

These guys are so out of control it is unbelievable. Term limits has got to happen. We need a constitutional amendment.

When Obama loses MSNBC

he has lost it all.

Face it dear Lefties. He is inept. He couldn't manage a 10 seat diner or find his way out of a one door closet. Impeachment is the only solution.

Wish I had said this

OBAMA ADDRESSES HIS SUBJECTS – AT 8:26 A.M. ET: We await President Obama's speech to the nation tonight on the oil spill, with the same enthusiasm with which we await Helen Thomas's debut as a Victoria's Secret model. - William Katz at UrgentAgenda
