While Governor Jan Brewer may be "miffed;" Louisiana's governor, Bobby Jindal, is well past being annoyed

Louisiana Oil Spill Blues



"Louisiana, Louisiana, They're trying to wash us away. They're trying to wash us away." -- Randy Newman "Louisiana 1927"

Arizona governor Jan Brewer appears annoyed that the Obama Administration has given an eighty-mile-wide strip of her state to Mexico. Who can blame her -- I'd be annoyed too. One can only hope that any Arizonans that may have been included in the land ceded to Mexico, know how to speak Spanish. "Hey Pedro, ¿Habla Inglés?" (Link) What's that you say -- it's only some US parkland that the government's giving to Mexico? Oh, well, I guess it's okay then. While Governor Jan Brewer may be "miffed;" Louisiana's governor, Bobby Jindal, is well past being annoyed -- and you definitely can't blame him. The way that the Obama Administration and the Feds have mishandled the oil spill is nothing short of criminal. Gee whiz, if I didn't know any better, I would think that they were being intentionally obstructionist. (Link) As for the next move by the Feds, I wouldn't be surprised to see Attorney General Holder sue Governor Jindal, for interfering with the government's attempts to stone-wall Louisiana's efforts to bypass the federal bureaucracy's foot-dragging. (Link) Obama may next send down Maurice Strong, backed by a Zydeco band, to lead a tribal chant for healing the Gulf -- as Al "Sex Poodle" Gore, explains to the Cajuns how the whole mess is the fault of anthropogenic global warming. "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" (Link) and (Link) Apparently none of the Feds have watched the old movie "Southern Comfort." (Link) My father was born in Shreveport, and I was married, and my daughter born in, New Orleans. In addition, I've had the pleasure of working with, and knowing, Cajuns on offshore oil rigs (and in bars) around the world, and throughout Acadiana. (Link) I have a deep fondness for, and some knowledge of, Louisiana, and I'm here to tell you that folks in Louisiana, especially in the southern parishes, are waaay beyond annoyed -- I tell you for true, cher. Aieee! (Link) The oil spill, the job-killing oil moratorium, government ineptitude, and now hurricane season, have a lot of folks around the Gulf of Mexico in a pretty foul mood right now. As Greg Evenson recently observed, "The government of the United States in this crises, cannot find its # with both hands and a Chinese made, Wal-Mart sold, genuine, guaranteed, remote controlled, #-finder. " Of course they can't -- they don't want to. The Obama Administration doesn't want to stop the environmental disaster in Louisiana, the Gulf of Mexico, and along the Gulf coast (and soon up the US eastern-seaboard, and out into the Atlantic). (Video) The Chicago/Alinsky model of Marxism is, at heart, nihilistic, so even if they shoot themselves in the foot in the process of destroying capitalism, to their minds, they still win. (Link) The optimum outcome for them,of course, would be the destruction of America's fossil-fueled economy, the elimination of its bourgeoisie (middle-class), and the relocation of a much reduced, and poorer, population into eco-friendly "green communities" -- while retaining enough of a global economy to keep the ruling elite in the comfort they're accustomed to. (Link) You had best believe that's the game-plan folks. It's all been planned for some time now. It, of course, won't work, but try telling that to some social-engineering-obsessed Progressive. Good luck. (Link) Hang tough Arizona. Hang tough Louisiana. Hang tough Gulf coast. Hang tough America. At long last, "we the people" have awoken.
