ekaterinnThat was a bumper sticker I saw on a car in my church one day. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw this strip from xkcd:
I'm not searching out any news about the oil spill, because I'll just worry endlessly about something I can't do much about, though I do plan to see if I can volunteer with clean-up this summer. But I can't help reading the headlines of the newspapers I pass by, and I just know whenever BP says anything, they're lying out their ass. My mom used to describe Louisiana as more Caribbean then U.S. and I think she's right, both in the cultural sense and in how we're treated by the media and the government in the rest of U.S.
Still, I'll pay good money (to the Dems, natch) to watch James Carville ride an alligator. *g*
