President Brackish Oilbama

How did a so very intelligent, upstanding, transparent, activist and green, green, green administration not notice such a "cozy" and deadly relationship between offshore oil drillers and federal regulators--until now? Obviously this has been going on for many years and must have been widely known by anyone paying any attention at all to offshore oil regulation. It is as if the captain of the Titanic were standing righteously on his sinking ship and indignantly claiming that he had only just discovered that the North Sea is infested with icebergs--and he is not going to tolerate it one bit! Shocking, shocking, I tell you!

BP's new corporate motto? "Spill Baby Spill!"

After Santa Barbara and then Alaska, we have been endlessly told: (1) Drilling techniques have been becoming ever more awesomely safe and sophisticated; (2) Oil companies, like BP, have been becoming ever more awesomely environmentally sensitive, hence ads showing happy butterflies sunning themselves on oil rigs, or the like; (3) Those who still have concerns for offshore drilling are pretty much dewy-eyed extreme environmentalists, as opposed to real Americans who chant "Drill baby drill!"
