President Barack Obama: Hey, listen, nothing personal. Having my boot on your throat is just hyperbole. It's all politics and image. No problem. Let's do lunch. BP Executive: Aargh! (Choke) Don't stand on my neck (gasp) You're choking me! I'm sorry about the oil leak - really! (choke). Punk: Hype as policy.
I just became a member of this site and it’s sad to see that most of the commenting is the same collection of various left and right wing catch phrase insults, come-backs, and sometimes personal attacks I see everywhere now . We seem compelled to take up sides and try to out-intellectualize each others commenting. Each soldier is armed with their own personal atomic weapon: The ability to “FLAG” the other guy! If Senator McCain won the election then he would be in the cartoon and you guys would be throwing the same words at each other. And as we are arguing and shouting out rude names this thing is leaking what, 210,000 barrels a day? If they can’t plug this up, we will all die soon. If we get lucky they will stop the leak but, will we finally get it and stop offshore drilling? If they have problems capping the well at this depth, what if this happens again at a platform 2 or 3 times the depth? It WILL end life on this Earth as we know it… You may now return to throwing your insults and rude names at each other or me
