Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Coors sucks. Don't get me wrong. But at least Coors was in Smokey in the Bandit, and never denied evolution or wrote speeches for Nixon.*JennyB wrote:Yeah, but what if the beer was Coors?Wolter wrote:The latter.

*Coors, the beer. I'm sure the Coors family has done both.

The election of Harper has curbed that greatly (tho we've made up for it with oil pollution).Wolter wrote:Turns out the dense smug rolling out of Canada has been responsible for a full 2 degree increase in mean global temperature.Dr. Medulla wrote:Your McRib farts are like one thousand Hummers idling at a tire fire.Wolter wrote:I don't drive.

I think Lew's gotten better over the past ten years, though. Certainly much improved over his 90s self.

Re: Is it Earth Day Already?
I read somewhere that BP refused to put in some kind of safety back-up on these rigs because they cost half a million dollars—too expensive. If that's true, that's utterly insane given the overall kind of dollars we're talking about (I'll ignore the environmental impact because, well, does anyone really think oil companies think about that?). When you're talking about billions and billions of dollars, half a mil as insurance is a total no-brainer.

Re: Is it Earth Day Already?
Further proof of the unholy alliance between state and industry. The only question here is whether the catastrophe is regarded as politically significant enough that it's better to "make an example" of the perpetrator. A convenient finger-wagging to seem populist.

Re: Is it Earth Day Already?
From the little news coverage I've seen (so, not exactly a significant sample), the media hasn't even made the connection between this spill and offshore drilling. If I'm not just missing that narrative, I gotta think he's pretty in the clear to pursue offshore drilling to his heart's content.Dr. Medulla wrote:(And will Obama reverse his commitment to further off-shore drilling?)
