Welcome to Martha’s Vineyard, Mr. President - but don’t go in the water!

President Obama, who took a plunge in the Gulf last week to show Americans it was safe to swim the oil spill-plagued area, arrived on this supposedly pristine island yesterday in the midst of a rash of bacteria-induced beach closings.

Portions of Tisbury Great Pond, the salt-water lagoon fronting the first family’s vacation estate Blue Heron Farm, were closed earlier this week due to high levels of enterococci, an indicator that the water is contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria. Ew.

High levels of enterococci can cause skin irritation, vomiting or diarrhea in swimmers. Which could ruin anyone’s vacation!

West Tisbury health agent John Powers said Long Cove Pond and Sepiessa Point Beach on Tisbury Great Pond were closed to swimming Tuesday after both failed water-quality testing.

Is there a chance they cremated Ted Kennedy and spread his ashes over the Vineyard?

Great pic. We have a tin of Shinola somewhere too. It belonged to my father-in-law, and we just had to save it.

If the fecal count is that high, it would appear that Obama already took a sneak dip in the ocean and opened his mouth. The fecal matter needs to be examined to see if it’s bullsh!!t.

I like to think that this is a Divine intervention.

Isn't there some place in the Old Testament that talks about the Lord rubbing dung on the faces of the wicked?

My sister lives on MV. As she has never heard of any such fecal contamination problem there previously, she suspects the story is a ruse to keep beachgoers away.

A peculiar punishment for making God angry is that he will rub feces in your face, as outlined in the book MALACHI 2:1-3 : "1: And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you." "2: If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart." "3. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it."

Oh my goodness! Are those great white shark sightings in the area of their vacation too?

Guess we should add that to the bees, the flies and the rats that hover near his general vicinity.

Very interesting. The Lord is very creative when He wants to get His point across.
