I have a lot of bile to spew out lately, but I’ll to restrain myself at least somewhat.  I’m going to focus on  a big pet peeve in my life. I’m pretty disgusted with people who seem to want to be my friend for whatever reason and truthfully don’t even like me.

Life is short- why befriend people you don’t like? I’m not saying that these people have to declare me their sworn enemy because it wouldn’t be worth the effort. Some people click and some people don’t.

Now that there is less oil on surface water of the Gulf of Mexico, BP's commitment to the cleanup seems to be fading, with the surface oil sheen, and this is the worry of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and coastal parish presidents. They are complaining that the oil cleanup effort is being scaled back. The Associated Press reports that yesterday, Thursday, they had a sit down with BP officials and the federal oil-spill response chief to express their concerns. See the video.

Now you see it; now you don't,  but it is there.

What has it been now over one hundred days? And two weeks since the well was capped? And now the oil from the BP Gulf busted well, is breaking up on the surface, and some people are singing tunes, like everything will be alright with the world. Some people must think America is a child?

Now you see it; now you don't, so it is all gone away? No way.

The geniuses at the Target Corporation, the owner of discount stores, nationwide, who decided to use shareholder's money and to spend the good will capital of the company, in making a political donation in the reported amount of $150, 000 to a PAC that is supporting a Republican candidate for governor, who opposes gay rights, and who stirs up anti-gay hate, deserve the BP Tony Hayward award for corporate blundering and deserve the reward Mr. Hayward's company gave him this week for his services, a boot out the door to Siberia.

Robert DudleyBP -- "Get A Southern Yank In There?!"

His name is Robert Dudley. He is a Yank. He grew up in the yank state of Mississippi, so he can speak the local peasant lingo. What better way to put one over the yanks than to put one of their chaps out front and tell everybody that, "He's the boss." A yank running BP, what could be funnier?

Brilliant! Something the late great Benny Hill may have thought of in a comedy skit. Give Tony his life back, a better job, with no yanks around who want to tar and feather him, daily. Give Tony several million pounds, -- and get this Yank and toss him to the lions.

In 2005 a woman goes to a bar, planning to drink and party.  Turns out the "Girls Gone Wild" video team is there.  Signs are posted.  However, she refuses to sign the consent form.  If there is a more clear way to signal "I do not consent" than refusing to sign a consent form, I can't think of it.

As she's dancing, the video camera is moving through the crowd.  As she turns away from the camera, a hand reaches out from behind it and pulls off her shirt. 

She says "No no no no," pulls it back up, and turns away.  Again - that's a pretty clear sign of not giving consent.  Saying "no" and putting your top back on.  

But somehow she ends up on the Girls Gone Wild tape anyway.  And when she sues?  The jury finds in favor of Girls Gone Wild.

As the State Department and the White House go dancing with the South Korean President in what could look like to some people as a war dance not in North Korea favor, questions should be answered that have been asked by many South Koreans: Were the North Koreans really behind the explosion of the South Korean sub?

In light of the US-South Korean war games and North Korea saber ratting, the LA Times has an article repeating doubts that have been raised about who is really responsible for the loss of the Korean sub. There are so many red flags in the US-South Korean evidence against North Korea.
