George W. Bush once said of the economy, "I destroyed the free market in order to save it." Not true, as we did not have a true free market, and he did not save the elements of freedom still in it. And no, "The Annointed One" did not say the above quote, but perhaps could some day. Hopefully he will not destroy the environment in order to put forward his misguided attempts to save it.

Some strange coincidences and pertinent questions:

* Goldman Sachs dumps 4.68 million shares of BP; and
BP CEO dumps 1.4 million shares in the weeks before the spill. Why?

*The Jones act prohibits foreign ships from carrying oil in US waters. Therefore it is illegal for skimming ships, and oil tankers flagged by other nations that might be free, to come to US waters to contain the spill. WHY was not a waiver passed on this immediately? Was it more important to save union jobs than contain the spill?
