When these Republicans have their sex scandals, we should all say “great.” Here is an opportunity for these conservative politicians to realize that love and lust and desire are complex, that they are not about obedience. Which is not to say that you should go cheat on your wife or your husband – just that we want these guys to reach their emotional maturity. When liberals gloat over it, they just play the same game, and round and round we go. It’s the same kind of erasure of desire.

This response plan is not worth the paper it is written on,” Steiner said in a prepared statement. “Incredibly, this voluminous document never once discusses how to stop a deep water blowout even though BP has significant deep water operations in the Gulf.
But here’s the reality. Even if BP eventually finds a method that works, experts say the best cleanup scenario is to recover 20 percent of the spilled oil. And let’s be realistic: only 8 percent of the crude oil deposited in the ocean and coastlines off Alaska was recovered in the Exxon-Valdez cleanup.

And another thing…
One thing I haven’t heard people talking much about? Dispersants.
Dispersants are the toxic chemicals BP is using to “clean up” the oil spill.
Their full effects are unknown but they’re suspected to be much worse for marine life than even crude oil. There are better known methods, such as those used effectively in the Exxon-Valdez cleanup. And BP is using one of the most toxic dispersants known. Why on earth would they do this?
Because they’re MAKING MONEY from this. That’s right. BP is using Corexit, a dispersant produced by Nalco Holding Company, a BP subsidiary.
Fuckers.
