BP's Secret Nightmare Revealed: 100,000 Barrels Leaking Every Day
Happy Summer Solstice, Earthlings! Your Earth is bleeding maybe 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day through its Gulf Hole, according to secret BP documents that are no longer secret, thanks to Rep. Ed Markey releasing these no-longer-secret documents. 100,000! That's a little more than 60,000 barrels -- if by "little" you mean, "NO NOOOO JESUS C'MON!"And why do we keep calling it an "oil spill," which sounds like a minor kitchen mishap, when the Gulf of Mexico well disaster is more accurately described as a "gusher"? Because "gusher" sounds kind of porn-y, to America's oversexed and overfed ears, and is there anything more gross than Americans on the Gulf Coast thinking about/having sex?
