I hope everyone had a great weekend. Happy belated Mother's Day to all that are such. Turned cool last night and it was only 54 here in the Northern burbs of Atlanta this morning.
We lost a great one over the weekend. Lena Horne passed away at age 92. She was one magical lady. RIP.
Not looking good on the Gulf Coast oil spill this morning. Oil is still gushing and the westerly winds are sending the slick toward Florida and white beaches of the pan handle and Alabama shores. Oysters are going to be in short supply for a long, long time.
Things are looking up for the markets this morning after the EU decided to get serious about supporting the Euro and giving Greece a leg up. The DOW is up over 250 points this morning which is nothing but good news.
Al Gore had some painful things to say about the oil spill in the Gulf and other things. The painful part is his affirming that in spite of the damage being done by the spill in the Gulf and our continued insistence that we need more and more oil and coal, regardless of the cost, that nothing will change. We will continue to use more and more oil and coal, we will continue to poison our planet and ourselves and continue to spend money we don't have on foreign energy. Very depressing.
The Prez should nominate Elena Kagan to the Supremes this morning. Not much of a paper trail on her as she has never been on the bench. From what I can see she should be fairly liberal but not in every way.
Well, it should be an interesting week.
