Of Greasy Rats and Oily Ships
a nice looooong rat...
The Uberdoosh and Mr Leg-Thrill ...awaken?
[Uberdoosh:] Maybe I missed something. I thought it was a great speech if you`ve been on another planet for the last 57 days.
well.... At least he’s speaking whereof he knows. Make your way toward the light our planet, Keith.
[Mr Leg-Thrill:] Why does he continue to say that the Secretary of Energy has a Nobel Prize? I mean, it’s almost gotten ludicrous. We had Carol Browner do it again tonight. I know I’ve mocked him for doing it, saying I’d barf if he did it one more time. But it’s not important. This meritocracy [IDNTTWMWYTIM] has gone too far. This, they’ve named the new guy here, the head of MMS. I’m not sure whether these degrees are going to help or these awards from overseas.
Can`t we move a little quicker than that, than to name a commission? That`s what they’ve done here. Another commission and another guy mentioned, they mentioned for having a Nobel Prize. I think there’s a lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk here, references – you know what they don’t refer to? His cabinet.
...lack of a clear-cut chain of command
....And you go, wait a minute, isn’t the President calling the shots here?
...I don’t sense executive command.
rly? Your Leader is leaving you felt… Unlead?
Oh yeah:
[Uberdoosh:] I mean, when I said, look, I suggested here before that we needed to hear the president articulating the anger of the nation at this fiasco, this ongoing and unstoppable fiasco in the Gulf, I don`t want him, you know, pounding the side of the glass or anything, but something, as Chris said, to lift some spirits, to give a sense that there`s something to be done about this, rather than just sit around and believe that – where did that estimate come from ....?
So how’s that HOPE workin’ out for ya?
Here’s another perspective for due consideration.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is clearly an ecological disaster, but overreaction to the oil spill risks causing more environmental and economic harm than good.
To be understood properly, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill must be viewed in perspective, particularly compared with other sources of oil in the oceans (from natural seeps and tankers) and the environmental effects of alternative fuels.
Despite the economic and environmental damage, there is room for hope: oceans are more resilient ecosystems than land.
