  2. I sure am glad that the post that modbaker had a couple of days ago about length of posts didn't apply to James Trimm. He must be speeshul or something. Just a petpeeve of mine I guess. Sort of like watching someone tie up traffic at a light turning left when there is a no left turn at that time.

  3. Sorry I had forgotten I posted this. Free Post anyone and the song is "To Emily whenever I may find her"

  4. I still think the biggest travesty was taking away Harvey Haddix's memorial game.

    Haddix will always be remembered for taking a perfect game into the 13th inning of a game against the Milwaukee Braves on May 26, 1959. Haddix retired 36 consecutive batters in 12 innings essentially relying on two pitches: fastball and slider.

    ...

    Haddix's 12 and 2/3-inning, one-hit complete game, against the team that had just represented the NL in the previous two World Series, is considered by many to be the best pitching performance in major league history.

    Unfortunately he lost it in the 13th inning.

  5. Corporatism at it's best/worst whichever way your mind thinks.

    The U.S. government threatened to remove BP from efforts to seal a blown-out oil well in the Gulf of Mexico if it doesn't do enough to stop the leak, though it acknowledged only the company and the oil industry have the know-how to halt the deepwater spill.

    Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said on Sunday Washington is frustrated and angry that BP Plc missed "deadline after deadline" in its efforts to seal the well more than a month after an oil rig explosion triggered the disaster.

    "I am angry and I am frustrated that BP has been unable to stop this oil from leaking and to stop the pollution from spreading. We are 33 days into this effort and deadline after deadline has been missed," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said after visiting BP's U.S. headquarters in Houston.

    "If we find they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing, we'll push them out of the way appropriately," he told reporters as the administration maintained its hard line.

  7. Stupid is as stupid does. I found this while perusing the intertubes this morning.

    The Gulf of Mexico is estimated to have as much as 31

    million pounds of UXO lining its floor. Exploration off

    other coastlines will most certainly yield past and ongoing

    at-sea military munitions disposal practices of foreign

    governments. Clearly, the past munitions disposal solutions

    and practices serve as an obstacle for the contemporary

    interests of the oil and gas industry today.

    UXO is unexploded ordinance. in other words mines and bombs.

    It's just another catastrophe waiting to happen.
