It didn't take long for the conspiracy theorists to get their "oil slicks for brains" oozing up over the disaster in the Gulf. They are blaming every liberal, socialist/communist, tree-hugging, environmentalist, and President Obama for this Big Oil cluster-fuck. Give me a break!
Just for the sake of argument, though, let's assume that like the rants of the single digit IQ "Drill, Baby, Drill" crowd that it was President Obama who blew up the oil platform. Personally, I believe that if this was not an accident then the perpetrator(s) should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But let's move beyond that and consider this: Accident or premeditated act, that well head should have automatically shut down. It didn't, and we are seeing one of the greatest oil disasters since the Exxon Valdez.
My point here is this: How the hell can Marco Rubio (R-NumbNuts of Florida) and his fellow air-heads say that drilling in the Gulf is still a grand idea? According to Rubio, once safety issues are addressed then drilling should resume. Well, holy crap Sherlock, we were told by Big Oil, special interest groups, Republicans all over hell's half acre, and Palin (the high priestess of Duh) that it was safe. Accident or not, this mess in the Gulf of Mexico should prove to all the need to aggresively pursue alternative energy sources instead of continuing on our current course of stupidity and greed.
