Oil Leak Plugged! Keep Using All The Fossil Fuel You Want!
BP's futuristic space-age technobox dingus has gone nearly two whole days without leaking, or exploding, or going crazy and bursting off its mooring and burrowing further into the sea floor and opening up yet another leaky hole in the Earth's crust, which probably means that this whole thing has been solved and you can stop caring. Huzzah! Just in time for Wonkette to launch its daily oil disaster roundup, too. Everything is fixed again, isn't that right? Let's confirm with a reaction from out-of-work Louisiana crabber Jeff Ussury: "It's like putting a Band-Aid on a dead man in my opinion."
