Jerry Lewis plans to gut EPA. Guess remounted tour of "Damn Yankees" on hold.

Jerry Lewis stayed at a hotel I worked at in Cleveland in the 90s when he toured with “Damn Yankees”. He was a very nice, but weird, man. I worked in Sales and he would call our office asking for cardboard and markers so he could make “Be quiet! I am sleeping!” signs to tape to the silk wall coverings outside his room, so other guests would not disturb him by walking by too loudly. He also had me, in the dead of night, go to a gas station to get Pepsi because his dogs were thirsty. And apparently only drank Pepsi.
Which, course, he called “Pupsi”, then giggled like he did in his old movies.
This is, of course, not the same Jerry Lewis who wants to gut the EPA and cut off all its funding…but wouldn’t it be ridunkulous if it was?
You’ll never think of Pepsi the same again, I bet.

I stopped buying all Pepsi products (I was a Mt Dewaholic.) when Pepsi changed their logo to the “Obama-Inspired” Circle.
I will never buy another of their products as long as that logo is used.
It would not bother me to see the EPA stripped down to a mere fraction of what it is.
And sorry why was Jerry Lewis touring with the Damn Yankees??? Odd combination there.
I about spit my Dt. Mt. Dew out on that one. Broadway Damn Yankees, but I pictured the same thing when I first read it.
LOL Oh, You can tell I am not “Broadway” cultured. I feel stupid now.
No, no I won’t. I’ll always think of dogs and markers when I look at Pepsi.
And gutting the EPA is a fabulous idea. Let’s go!
I think we should gut a lot of federal agencies, the FDA should only be a (very important) start.
I’m Lakota (American Indians (nDns) called “sioux”) and have already started a multiple front effort to eliminate the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) which was formed in 1824 to facilitate the integration of us nDns into American culture. We have started colleges on our Rezs (many are now universities) we have lawyers in every state with sizable nDn population, and 3 of our lawyers beat the whole US DOJ in Cobell v. Kempthorne.
Mission Accomplished! We nDns are integrated. We don’t need the BIA! 8,700+ employees and $2.7B budget… get rid of it all. Please write your elected politicians (especially the Republican ones) and tell them that the American Indians like me would be happy to see it all vanish.
I work in EPA regs. Some tend to contradict each other in actual real world application. Instead of fixing the contradictions they just keep piling on more regs. I always choose the approach that actually best protects the environment, so at least I have some moral ground to stand on.
I would replace the people at the EPA that don’t have real world life experience in regulation application with those that do. Real world life. Not fantasy tree-hugging life.
And my dogs get a beer as a treat – when I accidentally spill it.
More of your “real life” would be appreciated at the EPA. I can understand the fed gov’t making sure people don’t dump toxic sludge in the Mississippi, that sort of thing. That’s what I think the EPA should be about. Making sure that companies don’t poison the people who live around their plants, matters like that.
Not trying to regulate CO2, which is what we breathe out and trees breath in. Talk about overreach . . .
Exactly!
O/T, but an important epilogue on DWTS.
The artist formerly known as Jennifer Grey went on MSNBC’s Crazy Larry O’Donnell’s show. I guess his Hollywood connections run strange and/or deep. The interview itself was laughably bizarre. For the most part she refrained from joining in Larry’s offensive remarks about the Palins. I found the remarks that “democracy won” especially silly since the final vote was the exact opposite of democracy, giving three people with a predispostion to a professional actor and dancer approximately 2 million times the weight of a phone/internet voter.
Larry quoted Hillbuzz but did not mention the site’s name, of course.
If members of the GOP Cocktail Party manage to screw Sarah Palin out of the Pres. nomination, I would like to see her as Interior Secretary and head of the EPA. No need to separate the two with useless bureaucracy. I guarantee she would do a bang up job of cutting, slashing and putting priorities in place. All of these job killing stupid-ass regulations would be reduced to one liberal wet dream. Sorry for the crudeness but I am retired from the energy industry and know all too well the damage the EPA has done to the oil and gas industries of Texas and Louisiana.
I would love to see Sarah at the head of DOI. She could do more there than as Pres.
