The Fabled Continent of South Africa

Louisiana Representative Charlie Melancon, whom I'd thought was slightly intelligent, had this to say about the BP oil spill:

"We're the United States, and I would have thought if this was going to happen, it would have been in maybe a South African continent or some third world country that just looked the other way or said, you know, if there's still such a thing -- and I'm sure there is -- kickbacks, that that would have happened there and not here in the United States."

I ... don't even have time to get started.

Also, that book was so bad that, after finishing it, I lay awake for hours reading Bradbury's The October Country to get the contamination out of my head.
