A solution to the oil problem……
…Why can’t they eventually suck all the oil out of the sea water and salvage it somehow? Once this well is capped or this leak is plugged or whatever they need to do, they should just start sucking oil right out of the water. What do you think? Do they have the technology to do that? The answer in a moment. But first this from The Crab Cooker
The answer is: Fuck no, they don’t have that technology. Unless I miss my guess, Jeeves.
The Gangs Of New York
I didn’t think it could suck anymore than it already does but, by God, watching it on AMC fills the bill.
Let’s see. Where to begin. Number one, all the gangs they show at the beginning of the film are horseshit. While there has been talk down through the years of the “Plug Uglies” or “The Chichesters,” for instance, there is little evidence that any so-called gangs existed with those names. Possibly there were groups of three or four who dressed a certain way and may have even referred to themselves with names such as those from time to time but that does not necessarily qualify them for gang-hood. For instance, a “Plug Uglie” was supposedly identified by his leather banded hat stuffed with rags. It made a kind of helmet. Maybe there were guys who wore hats like that and even called themselves Plug-Uglies. But an entire gang? Hardly. Anyway, do some discriminating reading on the subject and you’ll find that the most violent “gangs” of the era were associated with politicians and political candidates. 
There were running battles in the streets for decades around elections and also the curious situation in New York regarding their fire departments. That’s right, plural The Metropolitan Fire Department and the Municipal Fire Department. They were rival fire departments because fire departments had lots of power…still do…and in those days they used that power to get their own people elected and to get their share and more of public money. Corrupt? Oh, hell yes. The state of New York eventually had to intercede after the situation got so bad firemen would let buildings burn unless someone came up with the right amount of money on the spot to get them to put it out. And they battled each other, the Municipals and the Metropolitans, using their own gangs of street-fighters. The worst feature, though, of the film “The Gangs Of New York” is the portrayal, in true Hollywood fashion, of Union soldiers as a slaughtering force during the 1863 Draft Riots. 
The slo-mo at the end of an Irish street hood meeting his doom is meant to be poignant, to touch the heart. A man yearning to breath free while the police machine cuts him down. What a slander. The Union Army in New York, called there right off the battlefields of Gettysburg, saved many lives including those of black orphans whose home was set aflame by the rioters. The children were placed on a barge in the middle of the East River until calm had been restored. These soldiers, fresh from combat with Lee’s army, were not about to brook anything from a mob of murderers. It was a call to duty answered with honor. “The Gangs Of New York” tries to disgrace that. Blow it out your rectum, Scorcese.
Show Log For Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Attorney Darren Brown joined Phil for a discussion of the lawsuit against Google whereby a woman got hit by a car after using the Google Maps direction feature. Is it frivolous? Hardly, according to Darren. Google is a big company. They can afford it. The thing that is unjust to Darren is that the lawyer representing the plaintiff in the Google case got there first while Darren and the rest of the lawyers of the world have to wait in line for their big shot. He was gonna sue BP and then along came the oil leak and that trumped his chicken-crap credit card class-action.
A-Team van
Jay Santos of the Citizens Auxiliary Police announced tonight that he and his subcommanders will be outside theaters throughout Southern California on June 11 when “The A Team” comes out. They’ll be asking people in line questions and looking over their apparel to make sure none of them are “hyper-patriotic” and are likely to come out of the theater “and want to go and buy a van and blow things up.”
This is like a Monday show…….

Margaret Grey’s ‘A Little Bird Told Me’: Al and Tipper Gore separate after 40-year marriage
Margeret Grey in Nashville
Al Gore once claimed his romance with wife Tipper inspired the novel “Love Story” and the couple shared an uncomfortably long kiss before millions on the stage of the Democratic National Convention.
Yeah, well guess what? After a 40-year marriage that survived the near-death of a child and the heartache of losing the disputed 2000 presidential election, the former high school sweethearts are calling it quits.
“After a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate,” the Gores wrote in an e-mail to friends on Tuesday. “This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together.”
I’ve been able to confirm the statement came from the Gores. Their spokeswoman, Kathleen something declined further comment.
The Gores told friends they “grew apart” after four decades of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime family friends. That is such horseshit. You know with Current TV and the love affair the Obama Zomba-Jamba Nation was having with Al he could tap that shit quick and easy if need be.
The couple had carved out separate lives over time, with the 62-year-old former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate on the road frequently, said the associates, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the couple’s behalf. They told me the former Vice-Everything Powerful On Earth felt he needed to make hay while the sun was shining on his Tennessee ass and the sheen on that Nobel Prize still shone
“Their lives had gotten more and more separated,” one of the friends, stifling a yawn, said.
The couple, who own homes in Nashville and, unspeakably, Carthage, Tenn., had reportedly purchased an $8.8 million estate in Montecito, Calif., this spring so they could be cool and live near Oprah. Oprah was alleged to have protested the move for fear of having Al hanging around wanting to talk television.
Married on May 19, 1970, at the National Cathedral in Washington, the Gores crafted an image of a happy couple during his eight-year stint as vice president in the 1990s and his abortion…I mean…aborted…..I mean still-born….I mean failed bid for president in 2000.
Their warm relationship stood in sharp contrast to the Clinton marriage rocked by Bill Clinton’s affair with a White House a cook, a scandal that hung over Gore’s own presidential campaign.
At the time, Gore said his wife was “someone I’ve loved with my whole heart since the night of my high school senior prom.” Then, as if to prove it, he planted that long, awkward kiss on her during the 2000 Democratic presidential convention, pausing only once or twice for quick drops of Binaca.
Such public affection did much to enliven the former vice president’s stuffy image. Tipper Gore, 61, painted a picture of a playful relationship, saying in a 2000 interview with The Associated Press that she teased her husband while he prepared for presidential debates by e-mailing him pictures of herself in rubber shorts.
“He e-mails me back and says, ‘I’m losing my concentration now,'” she said.
“He’s a little bit more of a gregarious flirt than people would realize — real crude and graphic,” she added.
In a speech to the 2004 Democratic Convention, Gore said he wanted to thank “with all my heart my children and grandchildren, and especially my beloved partner in life, Jim…I mean, Tipper.”
The “Love Story” claim came in 1997, when Gore told a reporter he and Tipper were the inspiration for Erich Segal’s 1970s best-seller. A surprised Segal said that Gore, whom he knew at Harvard, had inspired one side of his male hero’s personality — the one controlled by a domineering father — but his book had nothing to do with Tipper Gore. “You shitting me? Tipper?” No way,” said Segal at the time.
In a letter written to then-girlfriend Tipper as a 17-year-old college freshman, George Bush hinted at that dynamic. “His mother’s having a fit about him riding a motorcycle back to Harvard. And his dad wants him to stay away from you. Mine too.” But Al’s father relented and Al waddled back into the picture and George limped out.
The Gores have four children, Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Albert III, all now adults. It happens
After losing the 2000 election, Gore turned his attention to climate change, and a whole lot of that bullshit and the movie “Inconvenient Truth”
There are a lot of other things I could write here but I got in the good stuff. The rest is about his Vietnam days which were bullshit and his father and he was full of crap too
Just busted a hooker….
…over on Facebook….not that it’s all that hard to do but the imbeciles that fall for that garbage make it my moral duty to trash as many as I can. Plus it’s fun.
