Bobby Manifests a Set of Balls
Sharky&Sharky could never understand why the state of Lousiana elected a Republican governor, Bobby Jindal (It is really not Bobby but Piyush; but southerners can't say and would prefer not to say PiYush). There have only been three Republican governors since 1877. One was a switcher. The third one was Bobby.
In all articles Booby is proclaimed Indian American. Of course Sharky&Sharky have not idea what that is. Does that means he is member of the Cherokee Nation. Guess if Barry is an African American then Bobby is a ok being a Paiute or Piyush.
As said earlier Sharky&Sharky could not understand why Bobby a rather homely, short, poor speech-giving Indian American was elected by the citizens of the Lousiana to be their governor. Perhaps it is because he is smart just plan smart.
However we all know that smart is not enough in the political arena. There bulls gore smart. Sharky&Sharky wanted to know does Bobby have balls: Yes nerve, Clint Eastwood/John Wayne fiber, Shane flint (Joey: Was that him Shane: Shane: That was him. That was Wilson alright. He was fast - fast on the draw.)
On Monday June 14, Bobby met with Barry. Sharky&Sharky note this event as a first meeting of an African American and Indian American Barry did not stay for oily oysters. I am sure that Bobby pressed his case for help, but Barry gave him nothing that Sharky&Sharky can find. However within less than 24 hours of
Barry meeting with Bobby; Bobby strapped on some steel. (Bobby is the Indian American in the picture from ABC News) quoting from ABC News: Eight weeks into the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of the Mexico, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has told the National Guard that there's no time left to wait for BP, so they're taking matters into their own hands. In Fort Jackson, La., Jindal has ordered the Guard to start building barrier walls right in the middle of the ocean. The barriers, built nine miles off shore, are intended to keep the oil from reaching the coast by filling the gaps between barrier islands. Today, huge Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters lined up in the air, dropping sandbags one by one into the sea. "They are lifting up about 7,000 pounds of sandbags," said 1st Lt. James Tyson Gabler.

Now Sharky&Sharky have no idea if this is a good plan or a horrible plan. However a man has to do what he has to do; even if it means defying the federal government. Also, It may happen that the Kingfish was wrong when he said, "One of these days the people of Louisiana are going to get good government - and they aren't going to like it." Sharky&Sharky suggest that BP grant Bobby's $500 million research proposal.
Because BP "Bobby is not only smart but fast"

Come On In...The Oil's Fine
From bayous to bays to beaches, from sea to shining sea, the muck that is continually belching from below is suffocating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not to mention creating an ecological quagmire and imbroglio that will continue to swallow flora and fauna alike for decades to come.
Sadness, sorrow and tears are not sufficient to make this nightmare go away.

This ain't no Oil Spill
In the previous post there is a live feed of the "BP Oil Spill" or what the Wall Street Journal refers to as the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill or what others call Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Many of Sharky&Sharky's friends and pals and associated general ne'er do wells have also referred to this busted oil riser as the cause of an oil spill. It is Sharky&Sharky's duty to correct this language abuse. There is nothing spilling here. When a drink glass is knocked over it spills it's contents; it does not spew or gush. The Exxon Valdez was a oil spill, big but yet a spill. It simply spilled its contents into Prudhoe bay.
Some have called the Deep Water Horizon situation an oil leak. A car has an oil leak. The garage floor gets a big stain. This is not a big stain
Others have called it a gusher. This is not a gusher. Old Faithful gushes every now and then. Here is couple of minutes of that gusher:
Sharky&Sharky insist that the BP situation be called the Deepwater Horizon oil main break akin to a city's water main break. You are familair with the situation in which a city's water main breaks and the water just keeps on coming. We do not say "oh there was a water spill or water leak over on main street". No, we say that there was a water main break. Everyone gets tuned into the severity right away. Here for example, KTLA in Los Angelos reports a recent water main beak:
SANTA MONICA -- Pacific Coast Highway is open once again after being shut down for several hours Thursday morning due to a water main break caused by a suspected drunk driver.
The incident in the 1100 block of PCH was reported just after 12:30 a.m., according to Santa Monica fire officials.
It all started as a traffic collision involving a suspected drunk driver. The impact of the collision caused the pipe to burst, sending a huge geyser into the air.
Water and mud covered the roadway, forcing it to be shut down in both directions between the California Incline and the McClureTunnel.

Or! is someone trying to have us think that this is only a spill.
