Superslick Is Super Sick

Every time I read more about the oil spill in the Gulf, it makes me want to barf.

It is beyond belief what I am hearing on various sites about the profound lapses in safety procedures, inspections, and investment, the willful ignorance and cheap-skating of necessary engineering and safety practices.

This is the legacy of letting ultra-pro-big-business OILMEN run the country. Too bad the Democrats didn't clean house a whole lot further when they came in in 2008. They should have swept every Bush-appointed top official out on their hineys.

Yet here I am hearing that Gulf-State Republican Senators are begging to drill more. Say whaaaaat???
Are you kidding me!? Do these guys need to be spoon-fed oil-soaked shrimp, or what? Isn't it about time we went through the whole regulatory structure and straightened it out with COMPETENT people first? Shouldn't we be spending money on putting up offshore wind farms in the region instead?

Naw, let's just have another Republican Tar Party. They've already pretty much tarred the beaches and marshes of the entire Gulf Coast, with the Atlantic coast being the next target. These guys are nuts. Oil nuts. They are perfectly fine with killing the planet and everyone on it. That includes YOU, the person reading this and getting ready to spit venom at me for saying so. These guys, especially the Republicans, don't give a rat's ass about anybody that can't line their pockets.

Think about that this Summer while you Gulf-Coasters are boiling up your next pot of Gusher Gumbo. Like that rainbow sheen in your marguerita? Wait 'til the next hurricane pushes a real big wash of that oil slick right into your house and yard. McFly?! Anybody home??


Those Oil Slickers can afford to fly or boat to another country to enjoy the beaches. Can you?? Better get to the Red Lobster and order some shrimp - while you still can.
