I'm still awaiting the day when Scripps Institute of Oceanography tells the world they found the 60 million gallons oil discharged during the Mancato incident in the Gulf of Mexico and the 5 headed shrimp are not doing so well.

But come on down to the Gulf Coast and enjoy some fine pentane gumbo with some aromatic CxH+2 beverages. Love BP.

The Florida panhandle's economy (such as it was) was nearly destroyed by the BP disaster and yet it's still a Republican/Teabagger stronghold. How do you overcome that kind of stupid?

Callyson had a good Exxon Valdez Day wish. Mine is more diffuse: a 50% tax on gasoline and diesel fuel. Split it between the Feds and the states, say 30% Fed.

I know it would have a short-term depressive effect on the economy, but figuring out how to deal with equally distributed costs is one of the few things the fucking free market is actually good at. (E.g., you want to encourage public transit? Charge a fuckton for gas.)
