A White House Evening With Paul McCartney – A Real “Moment”
In the news business, seeing what I see, there’s not much that brings me to moments of awe, inspiration, and sheer excitement. But this week, in the people’s house on Pennsylvania Avenue, I witnessed a most amazing event. It was also an opportunity to take a real break from the torrent of news that we all face.
I was in Washington for a series of assignments for the Comcast Network and an interview on Fox News. At 2 o clock on this past Wednesday, I received a call from the White House, advising me that there would be a ticket for me to attend the East Room award ceremony and concert honoring Paul McCartney with the Gershwin Lifetime Achievement award for popular music.
It was an event that I really wanted to see. After all, Paul and the Beatles were a very important piece of my career, early and late career. I was the only American to travel with them to every stop on the 1964 and 1965 American tours. I’ve written two books, and I’m working on a very unusual third book.
I arrived at the East entrance to the White House before 6 p.m. and traveled through the security to a sunlit room just a few feet from the East Room. There was a short reception, and the time came.
The East Room was pretty tight –cameras being readied, technicians everywhere, only enough seats for about 195 people, and as the President would say later, “The smallest club that Paul would play since the days at the Cavern in Liverpool.”
There were the usual luminaries, Nancy Pelosi, some other members of Congress, but many others not in the public limelight who were invited to the hottest ticket in town.
Shortly before 7:30, the first kids walked in with their grandmother. The President, First Lady and Paul McCartney were announced. Nancy Shevell, Paul’s steady, was already seated with the First Family. Rumors were that the Jonas Brothers were there, which had the Obama girls waiting with excitement. In truth, suspense was building but I had no idea what was coming.
It happened fast. Paul shook the President’s hand and stepped up to the stage. The first song was “Got To Get You Into My Life.” He was beyond great, a man who sounded like 1964 , moved his body like 1964. He looked great. Paul and I are 4 months apart. Everybody should look that good at almost 68. In a few seconds, Stevie Wonder joined him for a duet as he did later in the show on their classic “Ebony and Ivory” later in the show.
This show will be broadcast in late July by PBS. So, there were short interruptions. But what came next was a spectacle of talent and artistry, and some comedy that may never be collected on the same stage again.
The lineup, all performing McCartney music, was as all -star as you can get. And believe me when I say that is an understatement.
Stevie Wonder was sensational on the keyboard and in the duet with Paul. Jerry Seinfeld had the crowd roaring, especially when he joked about Paul’s lyrics. He said, “Paul, you wrote (I saw her standing there), ‘She was just seventeen, you know what I mean.’ What did you mean Paul?”
The musical artists were a treasure. Lang Lang, who opened the Olympics two years ago; British vocalist and worldwide sensation Corinne Bailey Rae, rocker Dave Grohl, whose rendition of “Band On the Run” had the chandeliers shaking in the East Room; the Jonas Brothers (the first daughters seemed thrilled to see them) ; the legendary Herbie Hancock; Faith Hill and Emmylou Harris; Jack White, and my favorite among the guests, Elvis Costello’s rendition of “Penny Lane.”
But most of all it was McCartney. Beneath a portrait of President Washington (SEE BELOW), Paul sat at the piano and sang “Let It Be,” and a sensational finale (with the ensemble cast) of “Hey Jude.”
Paul was gracious, but seemed in awe at the setting. The First Lady sat in awe as Paul sang “Michelle.” The President, facing the oil spill crisis and other challenges, held his wife’s hand during Paul’s serenade, and seemed happy to have an hour and a half away from the business of governing.
After the award presentation and the goodbye, I walked up to Paul in front of the stage. We shared a big and long hug, and some personal thoughts. But it was definitely a moment of memory, and a lot of fun, sort of Facebook without the Facebook. I told him how much I enjoyed his presentation, and he said, “Look at you, let’s talk.” And we did.
Although it was a small room, the mood was electric. Paul looks terrific. He has energy. And his voice is even better now than in the Beatle days: resonant with extraordinary range. We both of course are a lot older, but when you listen to the voice of a great artist, the time element fades away, and yesterday becomes today, with even more emotion and a greater appreciation of the talent involved.
I witnessed 67 concerts while traveling with the Beatles. They were chaotic, fever-pitched and near=perfect performances, despite the overwhelming pitch of the frenetic crows. This performance, at the White House, was a once in a lifetime experience. I was really happy to be there, as friend, because of my history, but inevitable, as a fan, which I am and always will be.

Larry, I am lucky to be the first to post here before all of the nonesense that will surely ensue. You have Street cred with the Beatles, no doubt. And you had a once in a lifetime moment at the White House with the Beatles. I have already posted my negatives on this (God forbid if GW Bush partied with country music icons while Katrina victims begged for government help). But I am willing to get about politics for today, and say you deserved to be there, it was probably a highlight of your career, and you earned it. Now please dont milk it too much.
Lord Abott was at the White House under special invitation from Prsident Clinton in the 90s. I did not agree with the politics of Clinton for most part, but I was in awe of the White House and was fortunate to see some of the private quarters, it is awe inspiring and beyond politics. As a man who has grown, I can say I see some greatness in Clinton, but when I was there I was blindly partisan.
I’d like to respectfully ask the people who post here, to for one period of time, let Larry enjoy this moment, be respectful, it was a big deal. And if you all let lose with your nonesense its more a reflection of you than Larry, or the office of president or modern day history that was made at the White House. I hate much of whats going on, but as a country, if we cannot enjoy a few minutes in times over troubled waters (nice Gulf reference) then we are nobody.
Go ahead Ed, show your true colors and step up to my post big man.
I’m not Ed, whoever that may be, but this was a nice remembrance to read. Congrats, Larry, for being a part of what must have been a special night and an especially special night for you.
Larry, that had to be one of the most incredible moments in your life. Ironic, considering how at first the thought of covering the Beatles for WFUN wasn’t even a priority at the time. Now with the passage of time, you are reunited with Paul at a White House concert. Just amazingly cool. Love the story and the photos. Congratulations!
Larry, nice piece. You even evoked an emotional reaction from a Neanderthal. I guess I had you all wrong from the beginning. Hard hitting, controversial and political topics aren’t your style. You seem most comfortable writing about happy times and how to build gingerbread houses. My mistake. I thought we needed an independent journalist who would bring up topics that effected our lives, you my man Larry are not that man.
“No Holds Barred” must have meant something different than what I thought.
Goodby Larry……….
PS Who’d you get the ticket from?
PPSS Was the White House trying to influence you?
PPPSSS Was Joe Sestk in attendance along with Nancy Pelosi?
Larry when the Beatles exploded on the scene I was in Long Island spending the summer with my family. I was into the Beach Boys and their sound. The surfer sound was big up there and so were the dances at the Yacht Club. The Beatles weren’t the beginning of an era they were the end of one.
In the end half the Beach Boys are dead and half the Beatles are dead. Too bad, great musicians gone before their time.
Larry,
I have been a Huge Fan of your since your days with ABC when I was just a kid!
I REALLY NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!
I have Reported Govt. Corruption & NJ Case Related Child Abduction but fail to be assisted at the highest of levels! Please see my many reports @

Larry
Once again you have outdone yourself and hit the ball out of the park!
You are the maestro of the Beatles, but this takes the cake
I am professionally jealous but oh-so-proud of you, poogums
Fondly and Warmly
Always and Forever (Peaches reference!)
~W
PS Coffee soon? My treat :)
Larry was Lang Lang that little girl the Chinese had lip sing their national anthem while the real girl who sang the song was too ugly to be seen on TV?
Larry if you were on tour with us during the ’60s you wouldn’t have lasted ten minutes.
Larry, I think I look better than you, if that’s possible.
Nobody gives Tom Petty any respect.
Hey Richard, are you by chance the same red headed Richard Mills that went to Nether Providence high school and lived in Garden city?
The sweet smell of respect toward Larry to his one post smells really good. Nice to see none of the reugular dickheads pissing on him. It’s his moment, and the respect shows that we can all admire a man who has accomplished more in his life than any of us who post here- including the Great Lord Abott.
Larry (aka poogums)
I could not sleep. Just wanted to let you know how much i “heart” you :)
Fondly and warmly
Willie
Larry,
WOW!!
You got to see them in their prime and you get to see Paul in the WH. Personally, I am glad for you. Your connection to The Beatles is something that no can take away from you and I am glad. It was a first hand report from a local reporter and I am glad for it. Pictures? You know yr cell phone has a camera, come on, share. Thanks for the peek inside.
45 years later and still clinging to you tangential association to the beatles. Sad
Larry you really inspire me. Perhaps you can infuse some of your wisdom to your readers (hint hint) about some weight loss opportunities.
Some of us (wink wink) have a few too many crullers around the news room.
You complete me, poogums
Paul’s “Michele” was off-key badly, and I almost barfed watching BHO singing to his wife.
If Larry were describing the last night on the Titanic it would go something like this………. The stars were out and the moon was bright that night my friend. It was just cold enough that one could feel a refreshing nip in the air. People dressed in their evening finest were strolling back and forth on the deck. Cute little children all decked out in their PJs and life vests hung ever so em bracingly to their mothers’ bosoms.
The band kept on playing one of favorite
tunes, they never sounded better. For a moment I thought about rearranging the deck chairs but I quickly noticed an old friend of mine. He walked up to me and I said “Look at You”. And he replied “Look at me no look at you, look at the both of us we’re going to drown any minute. The Ship is going down. We’re sinking!! This reporter not none to miss a thing quickly told his friend relax this ship was made not to sink and besides we have plenty of life boats………. THE END
I am in tears after reading this heart wrenching tale of a Beatles pioneer reunited… and it feels so good. I, too, wanted to barf over the whole Obamas singing to “Michelle”. Two frauds. Apparently Sir Paul is a fraud as well. I did hear him last July. He was incredible for 2.5 hours of nonstop singing and playing. Too bad the once great Beatle is now schlepping for a 2 bit president… As I wipe the tears from my eyes, I know Sestak Part VI can not be far behind. Should I buy another box of tissues?
Apparently Barry has time for everyone and everything except the oil spill in the gulf. Why anyone so concerned about focus groups and appearing so PC would be so callus toward a real regional disaster is beyond me. Pull your head out of your ass, Barry. Larry, you should have turned down the invitation.
Lord Abott now controls access to who can post on Larry’s site and what they say? A new mellow yellow Lord Abott? Can I hear Donovan singing in the background. Ed, can’t believe you are letting that one go. Lord Abott, no free passes for Larry. Let me grab another hankie.
Larry, I saw you last week on Hannity discussing the Joe Sestak story and was surprised and impressed to see and hear you. I’m from Philly originally but moved to the Gulf Coast years ago. It was quite nostalgic for me to see you now after growing up with you on Channel 6.
While I appreciate the nostalgia of getting to together with Paul after all these years, I think your attendance damages your journalistic credibility. How could you accept this invitation from the White House that has stonewalled you regarding Sestak’s comments? Since you toured with Paul for a year, why didn’t you contact him (or his staff) directly and meet with him personally? Call me a cynic, but I’m really dubious of why the White House extended you this invitation. I bet Hannity would love to have you back on to discuss…up for the challenge?
Larry, you look mavlevous!
Who are you calling dickhead, dickhead?

This just in. The Dog Whisperer’s wife is suing for divorce. She wants the house and the kids……… he can keep the dogs.
I think Mr. Dog Whisperer should have kept whispering into his wife’s ears instead of Fido’s butt. Why else would they call him a dog whisperer.
Maybe the Dog Whisperer was really a dog. (If you know what I mean)
too bad he made a stupid statement about GW not knowing what a library is. Just proved how uneducated he is, GW is known for reading several books a week. Stupid Brit who hasn’y written a good song since 76!!!
Paul McCartney wouldn’t know a library unless he was half stoned on fist full of pot and a quart of brandy plus a few tabs of acid.
I’m not going to pussy foot around, Paul McCartney insulted our coutry with his comments about GW Bush. Who is this British citizen,, an invited guest at the white house , to insult a former president of the United States. Does he realize that GW’s father risked his life trying to save McCartney’s country in WWII? Perhaps Paul never read a book about that war. Where’s the gratitude sir Paul, you ignorant pig of a man.
And Larry fawns over this man. Someone else (above) makes the very good point that Larry got the ticket to shut him up about the Sestak flap. Larry has compromised himself by accepting the invitation, and now he gushes like a school girl, smitten with the love of his life.
Larry, it looks like it’s starting to get personal. I’m Sir Paul McCartney for Christ’s sake. The Qeen if England gave me that title, although she doesn’t know what a library is either. She’s a dubber, she dubbed me more the icon I am for being dubbed. BTW Larry, Ebony and Ivory was a classic with me and Michael Jackson not Stevie Wonder. And Obama only grabbed Michelle’s hand when he realized I was hitting on her. Forget my bloated face and super duper hair piece, I did look marvelous don’t you think? My voice was a little rusty but with fans like you Larry I could have given Paverotti and run for his money, if he was still alive. In fact I would look like him today if I didn’t have so much work done on my body. Keep up the good fight Larry and The Blacks Hawks win The Black Hawks win!
Larry, Hannity scooped your show. Why does he have your video before your broadcast tonight?
Paul McCartney never read a book in his life. Never!
Larry
I “Heart” you.
TTYS poogums
Gee Paul accuse a U.S. President of not visiting a library but he can’t even read music. What up?
It was a beautiful night at the White House and I do mean white house. Except for a handful of brothers and sisters that were entertainers this night was all white. You say Stevie you can’t see shit. Well neither can most of these old honkies. Cataracts or Glaucoma some such shit. It was like a blindman’s ball. I felt right at home. Least I could hear. These old farts couldn’t hear or see. Kind of ironic they were there to hear and see Paul McCartney. And why is my man Obama honoring some old white stoner? Penny Lane? You gotta be shitting me. I’ll have more insight on the event as the week goes on.
I was singing My Cherie Amor to Michelle and I had all my shit goin on but she was more interested in that f’ed up talkin Brit. La la la la la la, la la la la la la.
This Stevie Wonder should be called Stevie Wonder Why, Why as in why do you even spend your time writing here. You’re a moron, or to use a term you’re probably more familiar with you’re a dickhead.
I was not invited to this soiree so I can not comment. I guess I was not invited because I could see and hear. Barack likes to surround himself with yes men.
Tough loss for Flyers last night. Do I stay or do I go to the Wach? I think they will bounce back in a big way. I don’t think they can win Game 7 in Chicago however. They will have to play their very best game.
Phils look lifeless. Look for Nats to be team on rise in 2nd half. Halladay and complete game and pray for 4 days of rain.
Was it just me or did both Barack and BP get a free ride on the oil leak over the weekend? I didn’t hear boo. Clearly the press is insulating Barack but I would have expected constant Hayward bashing. Except for CNN where John King and Anderson Cooper bash BP nonstop it was pretty quiet weekend. Not to mention Obama totties Olberman and Madcow on MSNBC.
I saw Hannity showing an advanced clip from Larry’s CN8 show last night. Larry got his due but Hannity showed the Sestak showdown 30 minutes before Larry. I got to see that without watching the rest of Larry’s show. I got to watch hockey. Win-win for me.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Go Flyers!
Oh Paul you lame old dude. You be lookin for me to engage with you in a pissin contest. I be too smart for that.
Oh Larry, I am very happy for you meeting Sir Paul again, but when you were able to talk to him why didn’t you ask why he was so ignorant in the peoples house! I just lost all respect for him as a human being.
We Tea Partiers want Paul McCartney’s head on a platter with a cup of tea on the side. He said that George Bush doesn’t know what a library is. Of course he does. His daddy has one. And there’s video evidence that he can read “My Pet Goat.” How dare Paul McCartney disrespect a great American intellectual like George Bush? Shame on you, Mr. Kane, for cozying up to a communist pervert and drug addict like Paul McCartney.
I also saw that John Boehner attacked McCartney for making the comment. Good. Keep that royalist oppressor out of our country. Taking our country back! Shot heard round the world! Billy Ray Cyrus whips the pants off those Beatles!
Did know your Larry was wearin a hearin aide? He be deaf or listening to National Public Radio on his transistor radio. He was wearing a 4″ wide tie outta the 80′s. He don’t look that old for 80 years old though.
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
Larry Kane was spotted on the beach here last weekend. The best description would be Greg Norman in drag, with gray hair of course. Not a good visual.
Obama still not doing anything about the oil spill except to say he’s “furious.” Why does he hate white people so much ?
http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/500247/%22A-Siege-Across-the-Entire-Gulf%22%3A-BP-Makes-Progress%2C-Still-Way-Short-on-Solutions
I can’t what for my golden parachute.
Tea Party person why don’t you go back to Poland or ah Germany or where ever you came from.
And before you go i want my Ruby slippers back.
A real moment at the White House would be someone telling the truth for a change.
Larry good for you,why does a drug using beatle look so much younger and heathier then you,Larry you look old and tired how about starting a fitness program with light weights or bike riding routine…btw i’am a stones fan,the greatest rock and roll band of all time…this concert does not change the fact this country needs strong leadership,that would have been possible if the independents and teabaggers voted for Hillary a year and a half ago….you wanted barry and chelle chelle well you have them…GOOD LUCK LARRY AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
I was once up for the part of the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. I didn’t get it…. they thought I looked too much like a witch.
I hope those Jews leave Palestine too. The Palestinians should be free to discriminate against whom they choose without the UN cramming zionist states down their throats.
I’ve got to work extra hard to raise funds to pay off Rush. I’ve been using their music without permission. Some people say this demonstrates I don’t believe in respecting the property of others. I don’t know what to say about that. I just want everything for free and don’t want to have to pay for anything. That’s the libertarian way!
Jack Russell, a Stones fan, never would have guessed that. Thought you were more of an Elvis guy, and maybe enjoyed some Glenn Miller, but didn’t let on to your friends back in the day.
Larry really does look quite old compared to Paul, its hard to beleive they are only four months apart, he almost looks like Mccartney’s father. Larry’s tie is correct, that’s about all I wont criticize about him.
I wonder if Chelle Chelle’s donkey zone got warm and inflamed, turing a bright red like she was in heat, when McCartney sang to her? My guess is no, I think she is more a fan of traditional black rock and R&B, they didnt play any Beatles back in the Johnson house, they listened to what her father liked, and it wasn’t some honkey dope headed British fruit cakes. My bet is he turned off Ed Sullivan the night the Beatles premiered, he probaby said I dont want my kids listening to that white noise, and pulled a color purple, kicking over the TV in their one bedroom apartment. Mr Johnson was strict, but fair.
I always knew Helen Thomas was an agent for the demise of the West. The way she used to stare down George Bush at press conferences was eerily reminiscent of the Ayatollah Khomeini’s portrait plastered on the walls of Tehran. Helen Thomas was the reason we have Guantanamo. People like her needed to be tortured into submission. You couldn’t shame people like her, she had no shame. She had no love for America she was a journalist, and we all know what journalists are like. They all need to be reeducated into the system. Step out of line and you’ve had it. This is America, don’t mess with Isreal and don’t, well don’t mess with Isreal……
hey dickhead nice rant. Are you really that obtuse?
Helen Thomas really ruined her career, you have
to wonder if she has lost her mind to some form
of senility. Maybe she wanted to shock the questioner
or, its something she truely beleived. It was
kind of like saying to send black back to Africa.
She was accorded way too much respect and deference all
these years. There are plenty of smart attractive
woman far more capable than her. Its good she has been
put to pasture.
Speaking of out to pasture, Larry get rid of that picture of you and Paul. It is not flattering. You look like you have a head of grey hair that flows down your back. I know you don’t look that bad but others will talk. Even Helen Thomas said you looked too old for her.
Jacky Packy you have jumped the shark dude. Id that the Jack Daniels speaking? I woulda figured you as a Bread or America guy.
Waiting for the 7:01. Heading into DC for another day of smoke and mirrors.
Things are starting to shake up a bit here at The Larry Kane Report. First Larry finally gets off the Sestak slip to wax nostalgic about the Beetles and his magical night visiting Barack Copperfield at the White House. The Lord Abott goes all gooey on us as he now has found his soulmate in Larry and he is now channeling his thoughts through Larry. Then Ed says he’s had enough of the site but returns almost immediately in the form of new puppets and then in less than 24 hours as himself. Then Jack Russell appears from nowhere to dis the former love of his life Larry and his aging with grace appearance and the Obamanation of America and the stoner Paul McCartney while he reveals that he is the ultimate stoner a Stones fan. So many revelations in such a short period of time. My head is spinning. Yankee Air Pirate I hope you are keeping up. You don’t want to fall behind in class. Finals are upon us.
Met with President Mubarek of Egypt yesterday. Hosni. Imagine going through life with that name. I can’t. If I had been a Hosni on the tough streets of Scranton I would have been a shit magnet. Happy to be a Joe. So Hos and I talked about Middle East stuff. Mostly Israel. Blah blah blah. Then he brings up the World Cup finally coming to Africa. How Egypt got hosed and Ivory Coast got put in the Group of Death with Brazil and Portugal. I don’t know shit about soccer I played football. Quite the star at Clayton H.S. So Landon Donovan is the only U.S. player I know so I throw his name out. Hos says Donovan is a wuss. I say all soccer players are wusses. It get ugly and then we turn the topic to something we can both speak about. The MTV Awards. I liked the Hangover stuff. He loves the Twilight stuff. We both are sick and tired of hearing about Sandie Bullock. Move on biotch. I think Jessie James is more Hos’s type if you get my drift.
Speaking of drifts I wonder what drifted on shore in Pensicola yesterday as the oil leak’s effects widen. Probably some oily turtles and pelicans. I wish Anderson Cooper and Larry King would wash up on shore soaked in oil.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Our entire term will remind you of the movie Hangover.
Obama says he going to”kick some ass.” Probably is thinking of some honky back in Chicago,not anyone associated with the oil spill.Why does he hate white people so much ?
I am baffled why Obama has not spoken with
BP Chairman. There is no way you manage this
crisis by cutting out key players, even if you
think they may not be forthcoming. It boggles
the mind, but Obama keeps getting free passes.
Dis Magical Moment at da White House was no biggy. I been there befo. Not wid no black president but I been there befo. I been there wid Bubba and Carter. No Republicans though. They like that country shit. Like that little tramp Miley Cyrus and Rascal Flats. Back to that magical evening. I hear Paul was sweatin like a bastard in the green room. I did that lame Ebony and Ivory with the the old fart. I carried him as always. One thing is fo sure that Faith Hill is one fine white chick!
Dear Mr. Kane–
I am comforted as I read most of these comments by the fact that most of us don’t know who the heck the political powers in Europe or in Austria in the last half of the 18th century were. But we all know who Mozart was. It would be humble of us to remember that the politicians, rulers, and generals of the past are often forgotten, while the great artists live on: their art is viewed with delight and awe, if it’s music, it’s performed, and the best messages the artists had to give us live on. I’m one of those who believes that Paul McCartney thoroughly deserves any award for service to music that we have. And I’m grateful to you for your first hand account of the festivities at the White House. For performing artists like Paul, the audience is important–he needs the feedback, the confirmation that someone is appreciating his artistry. People who sit around running down Paul, running down Mr. Obama, shooting at any easy target, are missing numerous chances to appreciate, and applaud, one of the finest artists of our times. They are venting their anger, and frustration (which, heaven knows, I share), when they could be doing what Mr. Obama was doing, and taking a break from a set of horrendous problems. Here’s the thing: if people have ideas about how to stem the accidental oil well in the Gulf, they should use one of the toll free numbers provided by BP, and expend their energy on something besides misplaced anger. If people have ideas about how to transform our society from a gasoline guzzling one to a gas sipping one, let’s hear them!
I think that at the award ceremony, Paul had a good night, several other artists had a good night, Malia and Sasha were thrilled to hear their favorite group, Mr. and Mrs. Obama enjoyed a personal serenade by a great singer, and then … everybody got back to work, including you, Mr. Kane, by writing up the experience for those of us whose invitations were lost in the mail. I have not read your books about John and the Beatles, on the grounds that most of such books are not very thoughtful, and say many silly things. Paul thinks that they say many untrue things. But I’ll have a look at your books now.
Baby Snooks? Baby Snooks? WTF? Only someone as naive and idealistic as you thinks that a call to a BP hotline would generate any response beyond a charge from your phone company. BP, unlike the floundering Obama Administration (pun intended), is not soliciting the opinions of movie directors and underwater photographers. They are interested in hearing from engineering professionals but not some diipstick off the street with an idea. You liberals amaze me sometime. Incredible. I can hear it now. “Hi my name is Jack Russell. I am outraged and I have an idea as to how you can fix this mess. Have everyone in Louisiana put their pool pumps into the gulf and suck all the oil out.” Brilliant!
Oil companies do not control demand. They do not control the cost. They only control the price at the pump. How in the world is BP or this leak going to change our gas consumption habits. More liberal nonsense. Idiot.
Larry while you were chatting with Paul McCartney did he mention the Laptop scandal at Lower Merion HS? If I remember correctly you said it was a hot topic in England.
LOL RR
Baby Snooks-Get lost before I fire up one of my birds & drop a cannister of nape on your lame ass.Another silly liberal.
In politics, I am a liberal, and proudly so. I speak the mother tongue, and know what the word means. Naive? You bet your sweet bippy I’m naive. I’d rather spend my time trying to make the world a better place than … engaging in the rhetorical tactics of the Great Army of Cynics, who know the price of everything, and the value of nothing. I’m naive and idealistic, like the Beatles in their time, who refused to play segregated venues, and who were against the Viet Nam mess, and who thought that trying to spread peace, and love, and understanding was a fine idea. Like Paul McCartney, who thinks vegetarianism is a good idea for several reasons, and who thinks that we demean ourselves when we torture animals, and who is never, never, *ever* accidentally rude. Silly? Sure, if you like. Drop a cannister of nape on my lame ass? I’m afraid that’s against the law, and I wouldn’t want to see you in jail. I might enjoy your rationing your access to the internet, but only if it were voluntary.
Incoming!
“I might enjoy your rationing your access to the internet, but only if it were voluntary.” No surprise there but it’s not going to happen,baby cakes.This is the Larry Kane site,the infamous “Insider report.” I’ll be coming after you 24/7,we play hardball on this site,not too much room here for you softies.I’d even venture that most are meatatarians.Who cares what McCartney thinks about Vietnam ? Like the British don’t have any skeletons in their closet.
Dear Mr. Filet–
It’s your opinion that:
“Oil companies do not control demand. They do not control the cost. They only control the price at the pump. How in the world is BP or this leak going to change our gas consumption habits. More liberal nonsense. Idiot.”
I just like to reflect that in my youth, this country had a functioning system of rail transportation that went coast to coast and from Minnesota to New Orleans. It carried freight and passengers. We don’t have that any more. We have, instead, a nation wide system of highways that carry many large trucks and many passenger cars. And I’d be willing to bet that our current system uses far more gas than the rail system did to carry the traffic. I am reflecting that some of the greatest achievements of this country came before every family had one car for each foot. I find it a tremendously liberating thought that: There’s More Than One Way To Get People and Goods From Place to Place. In short, we, the consumers, control demand for oil, and any other commodity out there.
And surely it’s not just the Gulf of Mexico that’s threatened, but the entire Atlantic Ocean, and the entire east coast of America in hurricane season. And even more surely, the difficulties with capping that new well are multiplied exponentially by the fact that the well head, or geological leak, or both, are ONE MILE under the sea’s surface. Perhaps we, as consumers, could start to wean our economy from its reliance on oil by making sure our tires are properly inflated, taking the bus to work, moving to within walking distance of our jobs, and generally needing less oil! In the nineteenth century, whale oil was the most popular fuel for lamps. We have stopped killing whales for their oil. Perhaps we can stop killing the oceans by finding other ways to power our economy. This may make me an idiot. Or it may not.
Dear Mr. Pirate–
You issue fair warning thusly:
“I might enjoy your rationing your access to the internet, but only if it were voluntary.” No surprise there but it’s not going to happen,baby cakes.This is the Larry Kane site,the infamous “Insider report.” I’ll be coming after you 24/7,we play hardball on this site,not too much room here for you softies.I’d even venture that most are meatatarians.Who cares what McCartney thinks about Vietnam ? Like the British don’t have any skeletons in their closet.”
And I must inform you, without any regret at all, that I don’t play hardball. I must claw my way through a lot of hardball every day to get at the real information the internet offers. I find hardball to be a complete waste of time. In the immortal words of Jimmie Cagney’s screenwriter: “I’m not a fighter, baby. I’m a lover.”
I dropped by this site to read Mr. Kane’s account of the White House festivities, and enjoyed it, since I am, besides being a filthy liberal, a McCartney fan. But now that I have tasted the inimitable flavor of some of the posts here, I think that I’ll depart and try to find something useful to do with my time.
Cheers, and best wishes to you all!
Baby Snooks, heretto refered to as BS, I do not want the earth damaged by natural or unnatural causes. I do not want health or commerce adversely affected by such. I don’t believe the global warming scare but believe it is in our best interest to reduce hydrocarbon emmissions. I believe that we should search for alternative energy methods in ample supply in this country for the foreseeable future. I am not crazy about war but I am a veteran. I am not a marine biologist or an drilling engineer. My biggest concern out of this crisis is the short term cost of goods. I’m not so concerned about turtles and pelicans. More concerned about turtles and pelicans than Olberman and Madcow but that is another story.
You liberals wanted to return to Camelot. You elected Sir Lancerlot. You expected a kinder, gentler America. You wanted GITMO and the 2 wars to end. You wanted love, peace and $1.99/gallon gas. You got a shit sandwich in Barry. A completely ineffective fraud. Not Camelot but complain-alot. Not Sir Lancerlot but Sir Lies-alot. Not a kinder, gentler America but one where people can’t find a job and government interferes with businesses. Yes a shit sandwich. Pardon my french.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, BS.

Wow,that didn’t take long.Good riddance to Baby Softie
No doubt a Gene MCarthy for President fan in 1968 too
I am a filthy liberal and proud of it. I wear it on my sleeve. I wear it on my forehead. Proud and loud and out of the closet.
Apparently Obama wants us to light our lanterns again with whale oil. He and his administration want to lift the ban on whale hunting. Who’d figure? First he advocates more drilling for oil in the deep and now this.
I’d like to kick his ass…….. with my wooden leg.
Y’all may think I have no sympathy for whales. I only wanted that big fat white one that took my leg. After I started to light my lanterns with kerosene I saw no point in killing the poor things.
Baby Snookie are you the same Snookie as seen on MTV’s Grease Balls at the shore?
Snookie if that is you Snookie you’re a great representative of your people. I’m sure they are all proud of you and your entourage down at the shore.
Jersey Shore is now filmed in Miami. Go figure. I love the bronzed bodies in both locales.
Filthy Liberal, get out of your room and quit masterbating.
Yo, Vinny, what you talking about? I’m a liberal, not liberated like Thoroughly Modern Millie.
baby snooks is dead,fish & i split the kill.
Paul McCartney may have given a nice performance, but…….why would he take that event to insult George Bush. The Media missed his nasty remark about George Bush never using the library.
Give it up Libs, you can’t tie W’s shoes.
Only saw it once, even Sienfeld looked on disapprovingly.
Only the strong survive. Good to have you as my wingman, YAP.
Who was that dweeb that battled for about 3 days before leaving? Same M.O. Was it John Fisher?
Marilynn, will you sing Happy Birthday for me?
Or should that be same mo?
Fish Filet likes to smell the private parts of YAP. Fish, we know you are Joe Biden too, what’s that about?
Fish is no Pussy.
Fish, you’re posting like a meth addict, give it a rest, smell your fingers! Why do you do the Biden thing too? It’s a lot of work, sometimes good, but really self indulgent. I estimate you are about 70% of the writing here. SO, I’m surprised you dont putt from the rough, you talk like someone who has packed a few boxes of fudge under the boardwalk.
PF, what’s your deal? Are you some sort of psychoanalyst?
Yes Fish, I am a medical doctor, and could prescribe you medicine, but homosexuality is no longer considered a mental problem, but I could give you something for anxiety if you are afraid your family will find out.
I just noticed that Jay Leno does not have his step and fetch it Kevin Eubanks anymore. there is a new carmel colored band leader. Leno then goes on to show Obama giving a graduation speech, at a so called “diverse high school”. Well he got what he asked for, a big fat black kid was shown yawning and nodding off to sleep behind the president as he tried to inspire his “diverse audience”. Barrack, be careful what you ask for when you want a photo opportunity. He must be so pissed, because uppity house negros do not like to be embarrased by the field negros when they are giving an important speech about staying focused and making something of yourself in a white world.
My God, 100 posts after I asked that people might
show some decorum and respoect for Larry Kane’s
big post, and this is what we get! Well, I’m proud
that everyone spoke out, Larry love affair with the
Beatles has so jumped the shark its pathetic, and that
really came out. He whored his journalistic credials
to take a concert seat, he now officially loses his Sestak
story because he has compromised himself by taking the
initation. In a way, he has pissed away his legacy much
like Helen Thomas. He had a watergate level story, then
goes to white house to kiss Paul McCartney’s ass, his
children must be proud!
pussy-lay off fish or you’re going to find yap rolling in hot.
Larry SOS! SOS! Mayday mayday!! Larry right in front of our eyes without even realizing it the women have taken over our country. Just look at the voting results from yesterday, forget anti incumbency it’s anti men. Women are 60% of college grads and are now the majority of the work force. It’s only a matter of time before they won’t need us at all. What we have to do is get them hooked on Play Station or X-box. That’s the best I could come up with. Larry do you have any ideas how to save us? Larry wake up! If you keep this Paul McCartney infatuation up I may think you’ve already turned to the femme side.
I’m pleased to announce that Sarah Palin has gotten breast implants. She also now owns a thoroughbred race horse that she’s running in the Belmont Stakes. Take that elitists. She’s just a lil’ ol’ hockey mom! She’s just average folk.
tperp-how is that possible ? the belmont was last week.
Pussy Foot is Lord Abott.
Who is trying to besmirch the great name of Vinny by using him to out the Darth Vader of Larry’s blog? Any nincompoop would have known The Great Lord Abbott was a Pussey and Stevie Wonder and all the other misanthropic sock puppets here on this site. This man, a supposed writer with a handfull of publications and a great big heater is nothing to worry about. He is an amusing egotist that needs attention. Why else would he say what he says?
VP Joe don’t let this man intimidate you. Although your rants have become somewhat angry of late (which i don’t blame you for) we must forge ahead, ever optimistic. Even though women are taking over the world………
Larry I sent the photo of you and Paul to a photo shop site. They told me there was nothing to photo shop. I had to tell them that you didn’t have long flowing white hair. They said they’d get back to me.
What’s with all these Jewish guys marrying daughters of politicians. From the Kennedys to the Gores to the Clintons it’s all about gettin that girl ….. attached to the federal govment. Can’t these Jewish guys get it on their own? They gots to marry into power? Schlossberg, Schiff, and Mzvinsky, I can’t even spell their names yet there they are, at the doorstep of American politicians, a courten their daughters. Larry is this a Jewish sport or just a Jewish pastime?
Larry, any sane person would realize that the Gulf oil leak is no more Obama’s fault than Hurricane Katrina and it’s aftermath was Bush’s fault. Journalists and extremists of both parties are at fault for propagating those false impressions. Maybe now when we need a Congress on both sides of the isle working together to help those people, wildlife, and environment down on the Gulf, some good may come of this crisis.
Must have been breaking bad today. No Meth I suspect. No compelling require to blog. YAP, thanks for jumping in and offering assistance. You are truly a wing man. Not sure I need help with Pussy Foot. He is a curious creature that manifests occasionally to live out yet a different puppet character and personality. Not sure I would have chosen that name or persona. He seems preoccupied with others and their perceived issues. He is harmless.
Ed, I think the perception that everyone is getting is that Barry doesn’t really care about the gulf for some reason. Whether he’s preoccupied with Beatles or alledged job offers as bribes or just planning the next family boondoggle, he does seem detached from the horrors of the gulf. I doubt he’d be as disinterested if the gulf states were “red” with Democratic Governors.
I love you Fish, your scaly oily skin, your gills, that cute tail fin. I even love how your lips purse like Donald Trumps’.
Obama made it clear that he wants to bankrupt BP if its the last thing he’s going to do. BP is going to be overwhelmed with the liability, its their asbestos. How many nuclear plants were built after Three Mile Island over 30 years ago? The answer is zero. We could really use a few more nuclear plants, its the greenest of the green, yet none have beem built for last 30 years. I bet all those nuclear protesters wish they allowed more nuclear, and fewer deep water rigs. The average Joe has no idea what’s going on until its way too late.
Fish, it’s like when your kid comes home and tells you he just wrecked the family sedan. You close your eyes and wish you were somewhere else and someone else. Same with Obama and the Gulf Crisis. He wishes he were somewhere else. I’m not sure about the someone else, I mean he’s president of the US, and gets to have Paul McCartney show up at his house to perform. And don’t forget Larry………
Larry did you see the governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour defending his beaches. Oil slicks and oil globs rolling up on his beach yet he said come on down the water’s great. “We get globs of oil all the time down here”. “No big deal”. Man it must be really tough to be a politician. Jon Stewart said it reminded him of the mayor in the movie Jaws. Only this is real.
Lord Abott is Pussy Foot
The irony with hockey is that you can watch practically the whole game and see nothing yet step away for a few seconds and you’ve missed everything.
I have labored in obscurity for months. Now some character named Pussy Foot is calling out the VP of the US. That taks a lot of balls for someone named Pussy.
I’m reading a book call Manchurian President by Aaron Klein. I’m not one for conspiracy theories and nutjob whackjob writers but this book is compelling. If 25% of this stuff is true then we are all in a hurt locker. This book takes the time to explore connections to extremist groups that the lapdog press has chosen not to. Larry I expect you to read this book as well. I know it is not as compelling as 40 year old Beatles’ stories but it is a must read. You should get him on the Voice of Reason once the Sestak blows over. Expand your narrow liberal mind Larry. Explore the unknown.
I heard Barack say that he wants to bankrupt BP for causing this spill. Interesting. Make them pay certainly. Make them suffer psychologically. But bankrupt a corporation? What purpose does that serve? How many American jobs would be lost if BP goes belly up and washes up on the Louisiana shore? 10s of thousands thats how many. What a dolt. Sharp but not dangerous.
Regretably the Flyers went down last night. It was clear from the first 5 minutes of the game that this was not the same Hawks team that the Flyers ran roughshod over in games 3 and 4 at the Wach. They were not intimidated and would not be denied. At least I can shave off my playoff beard. Dr Jill was complaining about the gray stubble anyway. I asked her if I looked like Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice. She said I looked more like the Unibomber Ted Kaczynski. Well at least I can wash my Bobby Clarke jersey and put it away for another year. The Flyers were not as good talent-wise as Chicago but were incredibly resilient. Nice run. Who would have thought?
Can the VP get any love here?
Biden/Biden in 2012! More than a pipedream or pipebomb.
I like laying pipe
Blimey Larry are you off your trolley mate or just knackered? It was a right one off the other night but as you jolly well know it’s time to move on. Now don’t throw a wobbler and end up looking like a wanker.
I was full of beans that night. The food was right scrummy especially after indulging in some of that wacky-backy. It sure beat those fags I used to inhale. I did piss up a bit after the show and had quite a shag session with that totty of mine. I got a little squiffy and lost my stiffy but by then I had used up all my rubber johnnies. My willie will never be the same. We ended up in the Lincoln bedroom for a dirty weekend, running starkers, watching some football on the telly, ringing up some old chums and pinching a few souvenirs. We left the room in sixes and sevens. Cleaning up isn’t my cup of tea. I did leave a few bob on the night table, I figured Michelle’s mum could use the extra bob for some new nappys.
Ed is Moolb Oel. He ponytails his pubics.
Pussy Foot is Lord Abott

Obama’s become so desperate that he gave me a call and asked for me to pray for those down on the Gulf coast. I said God bless BP, God bless BP ……. God dam BP!….. God dam BP!. Give me a hoe and I’ll kick their ass myself. The pelicans have come home to roost and they ain’t too happy.
I’m praying that all you white people will go down to the Gulf coast and take a dip in the oil laden water. Only then when you emerge from the waters will you know what it is like to be black.
We bombed Hiroshima we bombed Nagasaki why can’t we bomb the oil leak?
Reverend Wright I sat in your church for twenty years and never missed a thing as opposed to Barry, who had some hearing problems. It is a shame that those people on the Gulf are suffering greatly, but I have to say your words of encouragement are truly heart felt and meaningful to us all. Oh God dam it you racist old n-word. They are dying down there can’t you come up with something better than cursing out BP and dropping a bomb on the leak?
Reverend Wright will you marry Paul Mc and I. Yeh I know I got to dump BHO first. That Paul Mc is one smooth fossil. Why does Larry look so much older?
Larry it seems the end is near for Philadelphia. All the Catholic schools are closing and the charter schools are mostly frauds that merely stick it to the tax payers. Who would want to raise a family in such an environment? You might mention the public schools but who are you kidding. The public school system system is fraught with corruption and personal alliances. Principals appointed by the Superintendent that aren’t qualified….. the brothers and sisters running amok in this city. If we don’t put a stop to this nonsense and quick they might as well turn out all the lights in Phila because who’ll be left.
Ed, will Philly turn into Camden? Can it ever get that bad?
PF = LA?
Where has everyone gone? YAP, time for a fly by. Even Lord Abott has been quiet. Time to change the topic, Lar?
fish i can hook you up with some good meth. you seem to be slowing down lately.
Fish I’m afraid Camden has already surpassed Phila. Camden had a finalist in the latest national spelling bee, he was not your typical Camdenite, he was from Viet Nam or somewhere over there but who wants to nitpick?
Gery Coleman’s ex wife is trying to sell small numbered viles of his feces with a certificate of authenticity and photos of it being collected from his underpants. Apparently she collected it when his bowels relased at death. This woman has to be the most depraved opportunist ever, worse than Howard Stern who enabled Anna Nicole’s death, at least he didnt sell pictures of her corpe. What is this world coming to?
Man Gary’s wife is an ignorant white slut, trying to rob a brother, even at death. What she’s doing with the feces is crazy, white girl crazy, ain’t nobody in the hood see a dead body and think, let’s me steal the poop out the pants. We might take jewlry, or even sneakers if they good, but never no dookie!
People, Pussy and Todd are one in the same. This guy is worse than human excrement and is looking for attention please disregard this a-hole.
Larry why hast thou foresaken us?
Wow. The big guy has spoken and Larry has failed to respond. Does not bode well for Larry. Seven more years of bad television I suspect. Larry when the big guy speaks he expects an answer.
A lot more posturing yesterday on the gulf but not much more action. Kevin Costner has become indignant because he found some a pumping ship that separates the oil and water at a amazing rate. The government said they were too expensive and they did not need them. FUBAR. Yes FUBAR Kevin. Your President is completely mismanaging this. The same guy you fawned over 24 months ago has turned out to be a pantload. Ineffective. Incompetent. Personally I get a kick out of the sense of entitlement these Hollywood people have. They are use to everyone doing whatever they say they can’t believe it when someone pushes back. Kevin your old news remembered for that stinker Waterworld. Unlike that miserable movie one man can not save the world. Not you and not the pantload in the Oval Office.
TGIF. Looking forward to World Cup finally kicking off. Of course I don’t know shit about soccer but it is the trendy thing to do every four years. Like the Olympics. Who gives a shit about female gymnasts or kayakers or marathoners? Until the swarmy Bob Costas and supercool Jimmy Roberts or singsong Mary Carollo come on a tell you every fact about every sport and athlete that you never heard of. It’s almost like your patriotic duty to get emotional involved. So the US will be tuning in inforce tomorrow. When England shocks them 3-nil half of America will tune out. We have no stomach for losers. We’ll squeek through to the next round again building interest. Then get crushed by another world power. Even importing foreign stars has not pushed us over the top. We are a second tier team. Only a miracle could vault us into semifinal contention. So enjoy trying to figure out a direct from indirect. Or acting versus real pain. Or offsides versus onsides. In the end you are watching for patriotic reasons because it is your duty. One drubbing and your back to baseball. Ahhh it is great to be an American.
England 3, USA nil. Nike retro jerseys have no effect.
You know my plans for the weekend. I don’t want to bore or offend anyone by enumerating them.
Larry you better respond to the big guy even if you worship a different big guy. And I don’t mean CN8 or John Lennon.
Biden/Biden in 2012! Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
I’ve created a robot to run in 2012. It’s called Ron Paul McCartney, and it sings songs about not paying taxes to the Taxman. It also sings Live and Let Die.
TPEPR, you really are an idiot but keep trying.
I have resisted the urge to respond here to constant attacks on my person and performance as President of the United States. I won. I am the President. Deal with it. Larry, I thought we were fast friends after your invite to the White House last week. If you allow these attacks on me to continue, you will be as welcome in the White House as the Salahis. Peace. Out.
Larry I may have been a bit premature in citing the demise of men. Seems like the powerful women I was talking about are having a cat fight. Apparently it has something to do with Barbara Boxer’s new hairdo.
Paul McCartney, in the pictue with Larry looks like an old woman. You guys mock Larry for looking old and gray, but there is no question he’s a man. McCartney looks like either a female impersonator (sans wig), or an actual woman with short hair and weak chin. There is nothing masculine about McCartney. I bet Heather Mills use to beat him with her artificle leg for being a Nancy Boy.
Paul – I am such a huge fan and will follow you anywhere (and have) but why would you insult a former president? Did you think it was funny? Did you think it would get you in good with Barry? I’m really confused about your statements. You are usually pretty good at staying in the middle and NOT offending your fans. You also said….”and to receive this award from this president…….! What does that mean? What is sooo great about Barry? I just don’t get it!!!! Please think before you speak. Offending people that can actually afford the tickets to see you is crazy. You were the perfect ambassadore talking to the Canadians about seal hunting, understanding their side yet putting your opinion up there gently. The last time you said something that made me this disappointed was, “It’s a drag” when asked about John’s death. Please think first. You are still the greatest ever!!!!!!! Writing from my BEATLE room and proud of it.
Larry – I’ve met you at Beatlefest and you do have a great story to tell. Keep telling it and be proud of your past. I wish I had been on tour with the Beatles.
WOW!! What an opportunity!!!
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood,
A beautiful day in this beauty wood,
Won’t you be mine, won’t it be fine,
Won’t you be my neighbor, hi neighbor!
I love all of the fine neighbors, play mates,
and school mates in this fine blog. Its Larry
Kane’s neighborhood. Its nice he let’s us walk
through his yard without yelling at us, but he
stops us to talk and tells long stories about
himself. So of the boys are not so polite, or
throw stones at his bird bath as they walk through.
Larry never does yard work, he sits by the pool
and tans himself in 1970s short shorts, he will
Be a golden bronze color in a few months, his hair
as fine as the gray fox that lives in the stump in
the woods. The stories get longer and more self
indulgent with each passing year, but most people
listen, the really nerdy guys are star struck. He
Offers the good kids popsicles and soda, but not in
a weird pedophile way, just a nice gesture, its always
Boylan soda, the good stuff from NYC that he use to
enjoy as a young boy himself. Your a good man Larry Kane,
just getting older and more reflective. The twilight of
a mans life should be a happy time, and you really seem
to be enjoying yourself!
Finally the weekend. It’s about time. At the risk of being self indulgent I will tell you about my weekend. Breakfast at Maggies. Over to the Home Depot for a demo on installing french doors. MNever know when you’ll need them. Back to the Biden compound in Greenville for the USA vs England soccer game. I see the US unable to generate any offense in a 4-4-2 configuration. They will repell repeated English attacks until the Brits score. Unable to generate their own offense they will start moving middies Donovan and Dempsey and defenders up into the attack. This will leave them vulnerable to English counterattacks. I figure 3-nil final. A frustrating day for the Yanks unless Tim Howard stands on his head in goal. We may score one goal. I just like to say nil. I have my 1950 retro US jersey that I’ll be wearing today. I wish Charlie Davies were playing today. I’m anxious to so this Wayne Rooney character.
Going to a fundraiser tonight so I won’t be able to do my Rehoboth thingy. Too bad. I hear that Lord Abott aka Pussy Foot will be at the Parrott tonight. I so wanted to meet him/them. Perhaps another time.
Speaking of Lord Abott he was up very early this fine AM waxing poetically about Larry and his golden years. His next Larry piece should be on Philly’s own Golden Goys – Larry and Fast Eddie and Snarlin Arlen. Should be a moving piece. No doubt Pulitzer material.”The once great Philadephia headline grabbers and makers ”
Biden/Biden in 2012! Self indulgent and proud of it.
I think that Larry is the self indulgent one here. Time to give this subject a bris milah.
Excellent game! Could have been 2-0 either way. Let’s see how we do next Friday.
Soccor is cool, Mick like soccor. Why dont you mates have better soccor in the states. It’s like a religion for kids in the suburbs then nothing for a pro league. I hear you got some new thing you call United bla bla, trying to copy us. How many people are going to Chester to watch that? Chester England maybe, but Chester PA, yea right. Paul McCartney could draw flys to see him sing in Chester, just Larry Kane would show up to get his pic taken on a phone camera.
Dudes, back off. Enough with the overreaction on this gulf oil issue. So what if I have not even spoken directly to the key people at BP. I’m furious. There, I said it again. Peace. Out.
Obama doesn’t need to talk to the people at BP, he’s such a genius, he and his university professor friends, who’ve never been on an oil rig can figure it all out from a library.
Well, thankfully I was wrong about the game yesterday. I’m satisfied with the tie. Another way to piss off the Brits. Cherio. Pip pip. Would have been nice to beat them. After that first goal I thought it would be a long day but our boys pulled it together and withstood a storm of forward playing Brits including the Cheeky Wayne Rooney. I do feel sorry for Algeria. The Brits will take out their frustratrions on them. Major drubbing on the horizon. Let’s see how the Americans react to their tie.
It is interesting that 234 years after the Revolutionary War the Brits still feel superior to us. They have this cheekiness and attitude that really is amazing for a country that really isn’t even that influential in Europe anymore. Hail Britannia nevermore. A bunch of snobs and hooligans that we don’t really even share a language with anymore. We bail them out in 2 World Wars. We keep them afloat financially. We protect their interests and for what? So they can be cheeky with us?
Interesting that Barack has not spoken directly to Tony Hayward or anyone atop BP. Hayward is the king of cheekiness. Not enough bad things can happen to him. But how can you explain Barack not calling him out directly? If your neighbor’s dog shits on your yard are you going to wait to see if he’s going to clean up the mess? No you are on the phone telling him to get his ass over here and clean up the mess. Barack really is a pantload. Completely useless. There must not be anything in his manual of socialism or from his days with training with terrorists that tells him what to do in this situation. A complete tool. Pantload. Embarrassing to watch him. Dolt. I have more respect for his Cheekiness Tony Hayward.
Larry the time has come to turn the page on your self indulgent topic. You don’t have to wait for Lord Abott to tell you when to change topics unless you are secretly a Tory or British subject. Can you talk about this gulf fiasco? Sestak is old news. The Beatles are really old news. Can you get onto something less parochial and more topical? I’d settle for Free Air again at this point. Enough is enough.
Biden/Biden in 2012! We won’t dwell on the past.
why is vp joe such an angry person?
Why do some of you yanks cry racism everytime Obama screws up? His mishandeling of the oil spill is not about race any more than Bush’s mishandeling of Katrina was about race. Oh wait, the left cried racism then to blame Bush, now they play race card to excuse Obama. This is a great card to play, it should become the 53rd card in a deck, and if you get dealt it, it trups any other opposing hand no matter how strong in game of cards. Race Card Wild, you get that card in your hand and its game over, you win, even if the rest of your cards are crap. It could become really popular. Blacks could go to Vegas and complain about not being dealt the race card when they lose, and blame the casino, and whites could catch a break and win when they get it. Seems like a smashing idea!
Idiots. I’m surrounded by idiots.
Dear Mr. Kane,
I came to talk to you when you did your presentation “Ticket to Ride” at Franklin Institute. It was regarding the Ringo Starr show on July 3rd in Atlantic City.
Well, I just wanted to get a message to you that Ceasar’s will not allow my daughter into their venue, so we won’t be there. They were kind enough to give us a refund, but Jacqui is upset.
Just thought I’d let you know in case you were able to pass on my request.
Thank you,
Sue
