BP CEO's yacht outing infuriates Gulf residents

I was watching the news shows and watched people throw the CEO of BP because he went back to England to a yacht race. the story . Company spokesman Robert Wine said the break is the first for Hayward since the Deepwater Horizon rig that BP was leasing exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and setting off the undersea gusher.

Ronnie Kennier, a 49-year-old oysterman from Empire, La., said Hayward's day among the sailboats showed once again just how out of touch BP executives are with the suffering along the Gulf.
"He wanted to get his life back," Kennier said. "I guess he got it."
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden enjoyed a round of golf Saturday near Washington, something they've done on other weekends since the spill.

Seems like a double standard to me where is the CNN, CBS, ABC

"My son is sick in his head," De Telegraaf quoted Anita van der Sloot as saying in her first public comment since her son's latest arrest.Link

Utah firing squad executes convicted killer

Hey I think Utah has it right , we need this in Texas

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) – A Utah firing squad shot to death a convicted killer early on Friday in the third U.S. execution by that means since 1976.
Ronnie Lee Gardner, 49, was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m. Mountain Time (0620 GMT) after being shot in the chest by a five-man firing squad at the Utah State Prison in Draper, a suburb of Salt Lake City.
Gardner was condemned to die for the 1985 courthouse shooting of attorney Michael Burdell during an escape attempt. Gardner had been in court to face a charge of murdering a bartender.
He chose the firing squad as his means of execution before it was banned by the state and replaced by lethal injection.Link

Heck right now I miss Jimmy Carter

He just doesn't get it Obama shuts down the oil fields of the gulf , the people will lose jobs vendors lose everyone gets hurt because the democrats don't know anything.....2012 cant get here fast enough...

Another thing I watch the Prez telling a High School graduation not to blame others accept

WASHINGTON – Longtime Washington journalist Helen Thomas abruptly retired Monday as a columnist for Hearst News Service following remarks she made about Israel that were denounced by the White House and her press corps colleagues.
The 89-year-old Thomas, dean of the White House press corps, has long been a fixture in Washington and has been lauded as a pioneering journalist who has covered presidents since 1960. Link

She should have been fired years ago in my opinion....

Class Act

WASHINGTON – Former first lady Laura Bush says she doesn't think President Barack Obama should be faulted for the continuing oil spill crisis in the Gulf Coast area.
Interviewed on "Good Morning America," Mrs. Bush said: "I think they're doing everything they can." She said it cannot be one person's responsibility to solve the problem. Link

I wish the man in the Oval office would learn a lesson and quit blaming Geo Bush.

Tough Putt.
A golfer and his caddy walk up to a long par-3. The cocky golfer says, "Looks like a 4-wood and a putter" The caddy hands him the 4-wood and he tops it about five feetin front of him. The caddy immediately hands him his putter and responds,"It looks like you got one hell of a putt left!"

Obama said the white house was on top of the oil spill. He said they were gonna have the smartest and brightest people to put their heads together and come up with a solution.
You know whats going on in the White House. "McCartney turns 'Michelle' into ode to first lady"
Link Obama was able to shout out to all the performer at the WH among those were Stevie Wonder, the Jonas Brothers, Faith Hill, Elvis Costello, Emmy lou Harris, Herbie Hancock .
I wander what the media would had done if George Bush had done this while animals were on the beaches covered in sea weed instead of oil. At least Michelle was having fun.
If I was Obama I would get me a new PR man someone who isn't afraid to say this doesn't look good.

Why is it we have trouble getting up on a workday , but when we go on vacation we wake up earlier than we would on a workday without a alarm. Why?

Dieting for dollars? More US employees trying it

By MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer Mike Stobbe, Ap Medical Writer – Wed Jun 2, 12:01 am ET
ATLANTA – How much money would it take to get you to lose some serious weight? $100? $500?
Many employers are betting they can find your price. At least a third of U.S. companies offer financial incentives, or are planning to introduce them, to get their employees to lose weight or get healthier in other ways.
"There's been an explosion of interest in this," said Dr. Kevin Volpp, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Health Incentives. Link

I should lose weight now instead of holding out for $700
