Shecky the Candidate
Mike Huckabee will have to tour Iowa and New Hampshire with a snare drum.
Having disappeared into the bosom of the FoxNews Republican propaganda machine, especially in comparison to Sarah Palin, conservative Presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee has been trying out his new comedy routine. Aside from the very thought of Mike Huckabee being President, that is.
A couple months ago, he tossed out this knee-slapper:
During a conversation with the College of New Jersey’s student publication, the Perspective, Huckabee reiterated his support for an Arkansas law that would ban same-sex couples from adopting children…”Children are not puppies”
No, children are not puppies, apparently they are sausage casings.
And as he prepares his act for Iowa’s finest mall Chik-Fil-A’s, Mike Huckabee has more material. Between prayer vigils over the Gulf and getting Levi Johnston out of the house…yet again, Palin recently let slip her ambivalence about pot, and Huckabee made ready the rim-shot:
After Sarah Palin made these comments she then produced a gram of coke from her purse and did line after line on the glass table…This is gonna be on YouTube. I can feel it coming on.
You Tube is also not a puppy.

Early Morning Swim: Keith Olbermann and Rick Steiner on New Revelations about BP Negligence
But…but…sometimes mistakes happen.
But…but…sometimes mistakes happen.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp.’s (APC) accusation that BP PLC (BP.LN) committed gross negligence or willful misconduct has consequences far beyond the division of liability between the two companies. If Anadarko eventually presses that position in court–and its survival could depend on it–other plaintiffs could piggy-back on a finding against BP, increasing its exposure and accelerating claims against it.
Anadarko’s charge also signals another potential risk for BP: With the rest of the oil industry publicly questioning BP’s drilling and safety practices, it may become harder for BP to find exploration and development partners.
Why can’t people just leave BP alooooone?
