New Confidence in BP? Brits Take Over America with Paul McCartney Concert in Nashville?

We but sob over a New York Times headline: “Road to New Confidence at BP Runs Through U.S.” Oh, yeh! At shore makes sense. Big gusher in the Gulf causin’ the biggest eco disaster ever known’ll shore inspire confidence in the gang whut caused it. Ain’t many gangs at could do at kinda thang no matter how hard ‘ey tried. Duhh!

But wait jist a minute here. Dig in a tad more an ye find at BP has been buyin America fer a long time now. ‘Ey do more drillin in the Gulf than any other oil cumpny? ‘Ey run the biggest oil field in Alaska, Prudhoe Bay, an own the biggest part uv the Trans Alaska pipeline?

Well, hang on jist another minute. BP is the biggest oil an gas producer in America? How’dat happm? Whur wuz Paul Revere yellin’ “The Brits are comin’?

Now we find a double sneaky. At Brit cumpny has hired a good ole boy frum Mississippi t’run thangs. Well, now maybe thangs’ll git straightend out. Good ole boys already have their life back. At’s standard equipment w’good ole boys. So maybe BP stands a chance after all?

But wait. Thair’s more. It ain’t jist BP. We got another problem. Far more serous. Paul McCartney, scuse me, SIR Paul McCartney played Nashville last night. McCartney? A member of the real British invasion at started with 60′s music? Now he’s messin with the home of ever good ole boy’s music?

Wuz it a packed house? Huh? Does a bear go in the woods? Talk about our good ole boy music bein’ took over by pop n rock n stuff like at! Whur’s Merle Haggard in times like ese?

It wudn’ enough at a rock band frum Nashville, called the Kings of Leon, won iss year’s Grammy fer the best rock record, an’ Cheryl Crow moved here frum California. Now it’s a British invasion all over agin. McCartney plays Nashville? I smell a conspiracy somewhair, don’tchu?

Less jist hope at ole boy David Hume was right when he said, “It is never possible to deduce judgements of value from matters of fact” —Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1751)
