Title: Sarah Palin on the Gulf Spill: Prayer and the Invisible Hand Will Deliver Us From Eco-Disaster

The Gulf disaster proves, at a minimum, that Sarah Palin's mindless slogans like "Drill Baby Drill" are not enough to make good energy or environmental policy.

A video by Americans for America PAC, which I co-direct, tries to make that case as simply as possible, juxtaposing Palin's chanting tea party hordes with a few images from the Gulf.

And yet, even in the face of the greatest disaster the Gulf has ever seen, Palin still refuses to admit any error or nuance. Malia Litman noted Sarah Palin's reaction to the Gulf Disaster here in HuffPost yesterday. Here was her tweet from Friday:

"Having worked/lived thru Exxon oil spill,my family&I understand Gulf residents' fears. Our prayers r w/u. All industry efforts must b employed..."

That's right -- Palin's 2 part response to the BP disaster is faith-based spill clean up (but no government action), and industry efforts -- the free market -- because the invisible hand is so good and scrubbing sludge from pelicans.

That's not all. On Saturday, at a public speaking gig, she said the spill was "very tragic" but added: "I want our country to be able to trust the oil industry."

Say wha?!?!?

Then, just when you would hope she would have backed off slogan-based politics out of respect for the Gulf victims, she blithely says, "My dad always says, 'Don't retreat, just reload.'"

One of these days, when Palin reloads, her slogan gun will backfire one time too many, destroying her credibility, even to the Tea Partiers, once and for all. Subscribe to *Spill-Baby-Spill*

war lied about the 'court reporter' part BS. If he were smart, he'd have gone back over my post about sitting in on court trials and writing articles for our local newspaper, which were edited before being published, a far cry from 'court reporter, but I guess that wouldn't have sound half as exciting as what he'd rather spread about me....

That's the definition of a court reporter. ALL newspaper reporters' articles are generally edited, if only to make them fit in the available space.

I actually enjoy cutting our lawn, although I have to admit I'm getting close to the point where the JD G30 has to go, steering with hand braking is beginning to take its tool on my hands. The flip side is the exercise is good.

Right now I'm having to cut every six days due to using Scott's four step program. Dandelions are gone...but good Lord, the grass grows fast, especially with this past weekends monsoon. You can almost 'see it' growing right now.

Assuming that is supposed to be "first grader" and your keyboard has a digit impediment, then good...the word is an apt description for the person to whom it has been ascribed...

If it's supposed to be "fart grader" then all bets are off...

Company's are doing very well indeed, Great. It certainly does seem that way.

In case you aren't aware, you are closing in on the big six oh, and I thought it would be fitting to have a bit of a commemoration. I'm referring, of course, to your posting count. You are just shy of 59,900 or so now and I'm guessing at your rate you'll break the 60k mark maybe late tomorrow or early Friday AM.

That's quite an accomplishment. I happened to check on you the other day (lucky you!) and, well, the thought came to me that it calls for a bit of a celebration.

We used to go to the local Motoguzi (spelling) motorcycle shop when the creek behind my house came up. They shipped the bikes incased in two part styrofoam, which they threw into the garbage after unpacking the bikes from Italy.

Around seven feet long...maybe eight inches or so thick, they were perfect rafts for kids weighing less than 130 pounds. Miracle nobody drowned looking back on it, but you could go from my house all the way down to the little miami river on em.
