- Tony Hayward’s exploding wellhead is not completely perpendicular, which is dangerous and also really gross to think about! [Think Progress]
- Filesharing, you know, “Pirate Bay Kazaa” or whatever, is actually good for Taylor Swift and other hip-hop musical artists. [Matt Yglesias]
- Orlando named a new stretch of asphalt “President Obama Parkway,” and the folks at Reason are furious because: taxes, Obama isn’t even dead yet, Ayn Rand, doesn’t Orlando already have Harry Potter World? [Hit & Run]
- Lloyd Blankfein will not go on Oprah so please stop asking, Matt Taibbi. [Daily Intel]
- Barack Obama was about to murder another fly but then decided not to at the last second because that is what Alfred Nobel would have wanted. [The Caucus]

Since the Randroids at reason don’t like naming a street after a still-living person, they must have insisted on keeping Washington’s airport named National. Right?
None of the full-wignut RedState or Corner today; have they finally sent you running away, screaming?
That article about the fly is just the latest evidence of why the NYT is the awesomest journalistical newsblog/webpaper ever invented. And the author, Sheryl “Gay” Stolberg, is a trinomial!
Honestly, you wonder how the Des Moines Register can keep printing issue after issue when the Times is stone shaming the rest of the MSM every day.
Orlando is a Mickey-Mouse town, anyway.
[re=604227]JMP[/re]: Or the Nuclear Bringer-of-Death Ship USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76).
Why are there so many flies in the White House? Because it’s full of shit.
Somebody get me a show on talk radio!
The relief well procedure has been described as hitting a dinner plate sized target two miles below the earth so we just may be screwed in any case. It’ll probably be gushing into a Republican administration so that may be some payback.
I think at this point the NY Times should just stick to stories about the very difficult lives of upper-middle-class stay-at-home mothers in Brooklyn.
There’s also a George Bush Freeway in Texas. Why isn’t he dead yet? Eh, Reason?
[re=604248]chascates[/re]: It will be passed down from Administration to Administration. From generation to generation. Congrats, you have inherited the neverending oil leak!
Since the gulf is likely permanently ruined, we should think ahead. What can a polluted gulf be good for? We should consult with some Japanese TV game shows. I bet they’ll come up with some fun ideas.
When, WHEN are BP/Coast Guard/Obama going to admit the inevitable about the Gulf oil spill?
It’s TIME to exercise the NUCLEAR OPTION!!!!!!!!!
[No, I don't care if it works. Fuck the Gulf states: Those inbreds consistently voted Republican, and they can enjoy the benefits of deregulation -- by starving.
I just want to see a really cool underwater explosion. INCOMMMMMMMMMMIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!]
[re=604259]Delicious[/re]: “It will be passed down from Administration to Administration.”
Along with the crushing debt, the various never-ending wars, and the increasingly retarded Congress and Supreme Court. In other words, the government we deserve!
[re=604259]Delicious[/re]: Now, the gulf isn’t ruined permanently; it will be back to a good, livable place in a short time.
That is, in a short time on a geological timescale; on human timescales, though, it’s gonna be a really long time until it’s unfucked.
We’re all gonna die, aren’t we. I mean sooner rather than later.
He would’ve killed the fly, but President Obama is saving up is lethal stare for his meeting with Stanley McChrystal tomorrow.
Well, of course they are complaining about a road being named after President Obama. They complained that he got the Nobel Peace Prize. They complained about school children singing a song with his name in it. All sure signs that the man is out to fundamentally change our government! SOCHULIZM!
[re=604258]comicbookguy[/re]: But the only people who can drive on it are drunken rich kids. They throw trash out the windows and then ask Jesus for forgiveness.
Yes, the Republicans strangled the “no naming things after Presidents til they’re dead” thing with their own bare Ronald Regan worshiping hands so now they get to suck it.
[re=604264]Neilist[/re]: At last, a coherent argument in favor of the nuke. Although I’m not sure how much visibility there will be. Unless they use a medium large one.
I don’t know about other pet owners, but my dog tries to eat flies (or moths, five feet above his head) and mostly fails. My parents’ big poofy grey-and-white tabby, however, usually succeeds and chows down in the middle of the nice finished basement for us all to watch. My parents’ lab is too old to care about flies anymore, not that she ever did.
Also, is there anything useful left to be said inre: copyright and piracy? I think it’s been established for years that the labels are bullshitting us, ripping off artists, etc. and all that, why is Yglesias going over this ground again? Maybe it’s his idea of “setting the universe right” after downloading Taylor Swift’s latest.
It’s even worse – because I am almost certain that when all the oil drains into the gulf and the pressure equalize, the hole will act like a giant drain – and all the world’s oceans will rapidly flow into the core of the earth, existinguishing the molten core, causing it to freeze and send the earth flying out into the path of Jupiter.
Seriously, I think it’s time to try the Russian leak-nuking approach. But Tony Hayward has to ride the bomb down a la Slim Pickens’ character in Dr. Strangelove.
[re=604273]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Barry told the fly that he could be on the wall during the meeting tomorrow.
I’ll be here all week
[re=604343]Johnny Zhivago[/re]:
Wow. That would be cool!!
[re=604343]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: So that means we won’t have to worry about the coastlines rising and New Orleans or the FL Keys being submerged? Hooray!
