Political Quote of the Day

From Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, talking about the idiotic decisions that have come out of Washington regarding the Gulf Oil Spill:

They don't understand in Washington, DC. They literally said to us, the administration said to us, 'The rigs will just come back.' The rigs will just comeback, like you could turn off and on a switch. They don't understand, once these rigs go they're gone for years. In Louisiana alone, we'll lose 20,000 jobs. Across the Gulf Coast tens of thousands of additional jobs. That's why today is so important.

We need our voices to be heard. We need them to understand if they hear nothing
else from us today, they need to hear us say this: let us go back to work. We don't
want a BP check. We don't want an unemployment check. We want to go back to work
powering the American economy.

They really don't understand. Most come from academia where your theories always work because they're never tested in real life situations.
