To the RIGHT and the LEFT of the oil spill.

     I'm about over the extremes in the oil spill commentary. Was it Limbaugh who said the ocean is big and will heal itself? (That was after he abandoned his suggestion that leftist environmentalists has sabotaged the oil platform.) Please.
     Then Friday night, Brian Williams intoned that the oiled birds were going to die "although they did nothing wrong". Please x2.
     Rush...in a thousand years or so you'll probably be right. In the meantime, would you be so kind as to support the people who are left unemployed because of big oil and little government's collusion?
     And Brian...no, the bird's didn't do anything wrong. They didn't do anything right either. Birds just are, despite your pious attempt be anthropomorphic about them, treating them like small human with wings.
     On top of that, we're treated to the spectacle of a suddenly attentive media watching for anger in President Obama's voice. Is he angry enough? Was that a twitch in his left eye? Please x 3. Much better to criticise Obama instead of remembering it's all of those little government advocates like Governors Jindal and Riley who suddenly want the big bad government to come save 'em.
     Not much concern about the ballooning federal debt that's going to drown our children now, is there?
 
  Sure, BP may pay in the long run, but they could also just go file for bankruptcy and tell all of where to put the oil wells.

  1. Very nice take! Pleasing, times 4! Especially the mental image of all those good little birds, with their cute little thumbs trying to fashion liferafts, or whatever, so they can float out the inconvenience they find themselves in ... maybe commiserating with sea turtles on summer vacation about how their PACT has suffered in the current economy ...

  2. I wholeheartedly concur with " Anomymous"! This is one of your most excellently written posts! And concerning Limbaugh... He's a narcotic addicted, narcissistic, self-indulged, fat blowhard, any way. No one in their right mind gives heed to the corner crack whore's incessant mindless ramblings, either.
