Seriously, not laughing at all.
You know, of all the not-funny things I've read about the BP oil fuckup in the Gulf, this is the least funny thing I've read to date. Because, y'know, MY PARENTS LIVE IN THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE, FUCKERS.
...I've been contemplating a post about the entire debacle, but the fact is, I take this shit personally, because the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Gulf Coast is family business to me, and the whole thing would degenerate quickly into completely incoherent BAWWWWW RAAAAAAGE. So I'm just going to point you to Cherie Priest, who says everything I could have said, and much better.
