I should clarify a few of this weekend’s postings due to some pretty intense emails…

While Obama is a tool for “forcefully” stating that families are off limits, I have no beef with bristol palin officially getting knocked up. I have no beef with bristol’s apparent shotgun wedding at age 17. I also have no beef with todd palin’s dwi. Lastly, I have no beef with sarah palin possibly covering up her daughter’s first child.

But, I do have a beef with mccain choosing sarah palin without vetting her appropriately especially knowing of her involvement in TrooperGate.

Seriously, this is mccain’s first shot at making a sound decision (unlike the bush administration over the last 8 years) and he FAILED as bad as anyone could imagine. In fact, bush couldn’t have even failed this horribly.

Bottom line, mccain could not have made a worse mistake in choosing palin. No, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY he knew bristol was pregnant before selecting sarah as his running mate. Choosing her is absolutely a ridiculous decision considering he had the more sane options of tom ridge or tim pawlenty available. I am not backing off my previous assertion that the gop wants to lose this election for some reason.

PSSSST – sarah and john, “abstinence only” sex education doesn’t work. It’s unfortunate you had to learn first hand the hard way publicly during a political campaign. Ouch.

As seen here, here, and here – this holiday weekend is not getting any better for the palin family.

While it’s hard not to blame the continually incompetent mccain camp for not vetting sarah palin, it’s definitely her responsibility to NOT accept the VP offer knowing all of the skeletons in the family’s closet.

bristol palin is set to deliver possibly 2 babies in less than 12 months as seen on BccList.com here?  Wow.  Nice work!

Who vetted sarah palin?!?  I’m not kidding – as noted on BccList.com previously – I think the gop is purposely throwing in the towel for the general election.  I’m not sure why they would do this other than our country’s crumbling infrastructure.  Any thoughts?

Maryl, thank you.

Nothing says love like a baby dangling in one hand and a blackberry in the other.

Sweetheart, there isn’t ANYTHING imaginable on your two phones  that could be more important than your baby’s head hitting the ground.  Also, who the fck has two phones anymore?  I think the last person I saw with 2 phones – one for work and one for play – was seriously like 5 years ago.  Is Alaska that far behind?  No, right?

As scripted, palin made a cute comment recently that she always has a blackberry in one hand and a breast pump in the other.  Seriously?

My a.d.h.d. and I love multi-tasking, putting in long hours, and working from everywhere thanks to technology.  But, palin, get a grip – your meaningless/politically corrupt state and/or you are not THAT important.

Although everyone knows offshore drilling is meaningless/worthless in regards to decreasing our dependence on foreign oil, Hurricane Gustav could show how environmentally/hurricane safe offshore drilling is as it makes landfall.  Hopefully, the MSM picks up on any applicable oil spills like they DIDN’T for Katrina and Rita.

Oh yeah, even though gulf production is nothing more than a SMALL drop in the bucket, oil futures could definitely trade higher on Tuesday but should return to normal/actual prices in a week or so. The price as of Monday morning on the global markets is all the way down to $110 a barrel as originally seen on BccList.com here.

Is the gop still having their convention this week? Hahahahahahh!

Update 1: Gustav has passed but the oil rigs are now in a new hurricane’s wheelhouse – hurricane Ike.  Fortunately, there aren’t as many oil platforms on the Texas/Gulf of Mexico border and this is where Ike is supposed to it.  Unless the fed decides to stupidly cut the interest rate next Tuesday, oil should continue to trade lower.

Update 2: Three (3) oil rigs are missing after hurricane Ike.  Offshore drilling in the gulf seems safe.

Update 3: The above posting is from September 2008.  Unfortunately, in April 2010, we had a major oil spill in the gulf of Mexico.  Shiat!

Update 4: There’s a new CNN poll out on May 5th that state Americans think offshore drilling should continue. Are you fcking kidding me?

UPDATE 5: Here’s a video that BP doesn’t want you to see.  Under water footage of the spilled oil reacting with a dispersant in the Gulf of Mexico. Here’s an image that BP doesn’t want you to see.

UPDATE 6: September 2, 2010 – there was an explosion on oil platform this morning and it’s currently garnering media attention.
