Drill baby drill
Burn baby burn
Lie baby lie


This may actually be an example of the system working.
If the reports are right there were no fatalities and no oil was
spilled. That is better than the normal drive time experience in your
major city. Oil rig worker is a safer job than cab driver


There's a mile-long slick, according the news. An explosion is the
"system working"???


Just because there's oil on the water doesn't mean it came from
the well. I'm sure they have diesel generators on the rig and you
need to store the fuel. The explosion could have blown that up.
