Republicans get right on this!



I submit to you it has become clear what must be done to preserve the 'Murican Way' of life for at most the next generation and a half (note: "way of life" not available south of 31 degrees latitude).

Several experts have suggested that the way to end the flow of oil from the sea floor, is not junk shots or fashionable hats, but dropping the BIG ONE on the true evildoer -- the Gulf of Mexico. First, it took out the dinosaurs, now it wants us!

The Russians have set off a nukes on bad wells before...and I ask you who this side of Union Carbide has a better environmental record?

Also, the government has proclaimed that regardless of how ineffective BP's efforts have been to this point, the latter possesses more technology for the task than the government.

More technology available for the task, except one, that is.

Michelle Bachman, you know what to do.

Introduce a bill allowing, in the name of the free market, a true American success story - British Petroleum- to have its own stockpile of nuclear weapons.

And then you can put in a rider, mandating that we immediately begin preparations for bombing Iran, or maybe Citgo. Ah hell, why not both?

Now that every phase of bomb development and production has been partially or completely privatized, that's not quite as funny as it might be otherwise....

Rumors have it that it worked for the glorious USSR, Saviors of the People’s Environment, four times out of five on above-ground blowouts. President Palin would definitely hit that.

What strikes me is how much these “solutions” are starting to sound like destroying the evidence.

We don’t have any realistic options except let Basic Problem try to solve it, and in the meantime, lie back and think of Reagan.

And after all, we’re at the top of the food chain. We all (and especially the poor Reagan loved so) will be doing our part to clean the oceans of toxins and carcinogens for the next century. Yum. Pass the mutated chum, please.

Forget the nukes. We're talking about 5000 feet of water here. This is a job for sharks with laser beams attached to their heads.

Just imagine, in the seventies this song was considered over the top satire, and now it sounds like something Sarah Palin would endorse.
