Hot Thoughts
It’s ridiculously hot outside. I’ve been up since about 7:00 AM, and it was already baking.
Why does the news always get your hopes up with statements like “chance of rain today”, when the chance of rain is around 0%? Joanne Allen, I don’t care how badly you wish it would rain, STOP SAYING [...]
Al Gore is Disgruntled
Uh-oh. That Gore guy is disgruntled.
But in spite of these and other achievements, President Obama has thus far failed to use the bully pulpit to make the case for bold action on climate change. After successfully passing his green stimulus package, he did nothing to defend it when Congress decimated its funding. After the House [...]
Time for Another Round of “No Shit, Sherlock”
UPDATED BELOW
sigh:
I simply do not understand the enthusiasm gap, and you manic progressives can figure out how you are going to change your script from blaming Obama for not being liberal enough, because this is Feingold we are talking about.
Really, John? You don’t understand the enthusiasm gap? Because I’ve been reading your site for [...]
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
“Here we go!” my mom said excitedly as we all sat down for dinner this past weekend.
“Whaddya mean ‘here we go’?” I asked.
“It’s our first electric bill since we installed solar panels,” mom replied, as she tore open the envelope. “YES!!” she shouted, pumping her fist in the air. “THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS!”

Pensacola Surf Bubbling, Oily Rain Falling in New Orleans

BP: Big Pussies
I was listening to the BBC yesterday morning, and was shocked and appalled to hear BP and the British government express dismay and surprise at the anger in the US. I’m a little too lazy to go through the Beeb’s archives, but thanks to a number of other articles, I don’t have to.
Here’s deputy [...]
Karen beninato: BP’s Spill Plan: What they knew and when they knew it
damning:
I have obtained a copy of the almost-600-page BP Regional Oil Spill Response Plan for the Gulf of Mexico as of June, 2009, thanks to an insider. Some material has been redacted, but these are the three main takeaways from an initial read….
In the worst case discharge scenario (on chart below), an oil leak was [...]
Say Goodbye to Your East Coast Beaches. Thanks BP!
Thanks a million BP. Assholes:
A detailed computer modeling study released today indicates that oil from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico might soon extend along thousands of miles of the Atlantic coast and open ocean as early as this summer. The modeling results are captured in a series of dramatic animations produced by [...]
If It Was My Home
Enter your zip code for a frightening look at the oil spill.
I’ve been entering Royal Asshole Tony Hayward’s hometown of Kent, England. It makes me feel a little better to imagine his family covered in gloopy globs of oil so big they look like Satan himself took a diarrhea shit on the beach.
By the way, [...]
BP CEO Tony Hayward is a DOUCHEBAG.
“I’m devastated.” FUCK YOU, Tony. FUCK YOU. IT’S BEEN 35 FUCKING DAYS.
