well, it does, walk down the beach, you can see little balls of oil and tar wash and squish it between your toes.. If anything, oil companies are cleaning up the environment. Once they deplete those reserves (see huntington beach) they don't have oil washing up on the beaches in southern california anymore. Thank you oil company... (a little humor) I know people who used to go to the beach with some turpentine (back in the 30-40's) and use that to clean the oil off of them, before those evil capitalist oil companies went out there and cleaned up (I mean drilled) all that oil seeping out of the ground.
The funny thing is for like a year every time there was a tar ball or a patch of oil wash up, it made the news, all the kooks came out and blamed BP, then a month later it turns out it wasn't from that event.
But seriously, what has Karl Rove, (and mind you Im not a Karl Rove fan) Paul Ryan, Scott Brown done, to be kook?
mmm, I think the Ecuadorian indigenous people may have a differing opinion of what constitutes "cleaning up" and they're far from unique. What happens in the third world generally stays in the third world though. At least from a corporate media perspective.
As for kooks,
Rove's on air meltdown on election night was, ermm, interesting. It seems he drank too much of his own KoolAid and couldn't fathom that he might've been incorrect in his predictions.
Paul Ryan's claim that the Janesville, WI GM plant closing was somehow related to Obama, or maybe it was his sub three hour marathon time claim, or perhaps picking Bowhunter as his Secret Service alias, or maybe openly criticizing the bail out and privately begging for funds, or even his high school yearbook's "most likely to be a brown-noser" designation which may have damaged his credibility. A little. Or maybe it was that fake pot cleaning photo op at the soup kitchen in Ohio. I don't know.
I haven't mentioned Scott Brown in any of my posts, and must admit, I don't know who he is, so am too ill informed to comment regarding him.
