QUESTION: What would happen if Governor Jindal just said "Screw you, I'm defending my state" to the federal government and built those barrier islands, Obama be damned
The only Republican Governors with the guts to do what’s needed to defend their people no matter what are Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer, Chris Christie, and Haley Barbour, with Barbour, Brewer, and Christie being the ones still in office, and Tim Pawlenty as an example of a typical Republican capitulist governor who’s more soggy cucumbers and mayonnaise sandwich than he is the right man for any job.
Bobby Jindal has filed request after request for the federal government to approve sand barrier islands to stop the Gulf Oil Disaster from destroying Louisiana’s coast line. Obama has withered and dithered on this, and has not approved those plans. He sure as sand jumped right in to call Cambridge Police “stupid” when he didn’t even know the story involving notorious race-baiter Henry Gates, though. So, there are some times when Obama’s magical prescience and immense knowledge allow him to make snap and resolute decisions, and other times he’d rather be hanging out with Paul McCartney at YET ANOTHER lavish White House Wednesday Night cocktail party.
Reading Jindal’s paperwork must be super boring. Obama’s never shown much interest in anything boring, or difficult. Work, following through on promises, doing things right. Why bother? Time for another vacation!
Meanwhile, we wonder if Jindal had the guts, and just went on TV and said, “Screw you” and mobilized the national guard in Louisiana to defend his state by building those islands — to Hell with federal bureaucracy — what could Obama do about it?
Would he dare STOP Jindal, or arrest him?
During Hurricane Katrina, Governor Blanco made a complete ass of herself on live television when she at first insisted she was waiting for President Bush to call in the national guard…and an aid whispered to her under the table that “Governor, YOU are in charge of the national guard…you are Commander in Chief of all guard troops in Louisiana”. She had no idea.
If Jindal’s state is on the precipice of a petroleum catastrophe, why can’t he just take charge, mobilize every resource under his command, and let the federal government go do to itself something Rahm Emanuel would recommend while screaming at the top of his lungs naked in a gang shower?
Can Jindal man up and do this?
Will Kenneth the Intern ever grow a spine and command some respect…by commanding his troops to do what the feds are too hapless and hopeychangey to do themselves?
What think you?
QUESTION: Where the Hell is Steven Chu and what has he been doing for 44 days?
Isn’t Energy Secretary Steven Chu supposed to be some sort of genius, the very best academia had to offer?
Last year, he laughably admitted he had no idea what the Secretary of Energy does, or that he sets US oil policy.
If the reason this man was made SoE is because “he can do anything and is so respected in academia”, then why isn’t Professor Chu solving the Gulf spill with his Heironymus Fox-level super smarts?
Whatchoo talkin’, ’bout, Steven Chu? And whathavya been doin’ the last month and change?
If we can work a random Gary Coleman reference into just about anything, Professor Chu should be able to use all his Berkeley brain trust resources to get something done.
Thursday Open Thread: June 3rd, 2010
What’s on your minds this Thursday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
*******************************************************
Anyone who’s watching Buckingham Palace, all of the tabloids here like The Enquirer and Star Magazine have said tomorrow or Saturday it’s going to be announced that Prince William will be engaged to Catherine Middleton…with a wedding planned for November. Hear anything more about this yet?
********************************************************
Much thanks to Chrissy-the-Hyphenated for getting our Tammy Bruce interview from a few weeks ago uploaded onto YouTube for you to listen to. If you haven’t heard it, here it is. We loved having K. do the show, so if you’d like to see us back on Tammy, please let her know! And also thank Chrissy for working hard to get that audio up…she’s a wonder, and we’re very appreciative of all of her multimedia talents.

Looks like that CBS article we told yøu about is up, by Scott Conroy.
We think the piece is good, and K.’s meeting with Conroy here in Boystown is a large part of the piece. Be sure to read it and let us know what you think.
*****************
One reader mentioned today that he told Glenn Beck he should have us and GayPatriot on his show. We like Beck, and think that could be interesting, so if you would like to see that, help make it happen. ´
