Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Whatever the sentiment is being expressed by Washington toward the world, it does not mirror my own view.

Maybe that's why I like forums so much. I get to meet a lot of people from all over the world who are, well, people. Just the other day I made friends with a dude in Russia. Not once when I was a kid did I believe that an American and a Russian could ever be friends (see why I hate governments so much?), so to me -- even though times have changed so much -- that's pretty dang special. Any-hways.... *twiddles thumbs*

And here I was as a kid believing that me and big gov't could never be friends, this decade is showing that me and big business can't be friends either. Big anything seems to be a Forrest Gump in all the bad ways and none of the good.

BP rent a cop cuts off media access to a public beach. The cover-up continues:

My favorite part was the "oh sh*t" moment the pissant rent a cop had when the real sheriff showed up and laid into him.

Ayuh. Those numbers just keep adding up, don't they bud?

The President was on TV tonight to reassure us that everything is being done to fix it. Didn't really watch him, though.

Did you happen to see the computer models of the predicted reach of the spill? With any luck nature will give us a better model and the oil won't end up in the middle of the Atlantic.

Oh, crap. It's headed for Europe, first Ireland & UK and then the rest.

They better boom it off into the Mexico Gulf or something, no way the rest of the world will forgive the US if this messes up the entire Atlantic.
