The Gulf Oil spill is a tragedy and colossal #epicfail that we as a country will be dealing with for some time. I do have to say though that, purely from a political stand point, dealing with the crisis has given Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal another chance in the spotlight.
Jindal was one of the young conservative leaders many of us had hung all of our hopes and dreams on…until his debut on the national stage and that absolute disastrous response when President Obama’s addressed the nation for the first time. It was so disastrous, we’ve haven’t heard much from since then, which was unfortunate because his voices is one we could have used all throughout 2009.
That was then. Now, while people argue over whether it’s worse to play golf or go yachting, Gov. Jindal is declaring war. So sayeth the Gov. in a local editorial…
It’s funny, for a while it seemed like I was blogging aboot Bobby Jindal every other day, yet hasn’t had anything to say aboot him since March. After that disastrous performance giving the response to the Presidents SOTU (yes, I can call id disastrous and still be a conservative), he seemed to have stayed out of the spotlight since then.
For as much as I criticize 2012 speculation, I just can’t resist 2012 speculation. Especially when two of our favourite “speculative stocks” are going to be hanging out together, raising money, and having people like me wonder “is this the ticket?”
