Via Defamer (because I’m watching the local Lindsay LOLhan drama unfold), the stuff they’re using to clean up the BP spill is poisonous too.

Once the spill started BP moved Beyond Petroleum and into Big Pimpin’:

Yo dawg, I noticed you like chemical spills, so I spilled some chemicals on your chemical spill. Now you can spill chemicals while cleaning up your chemical spill.

I did notice that the media was being strangely silent about the effects of dumping chemicals onto oil. They seemed to silently assent to the fiction that oil + dispersant = nothing.

But then, I didn’t publicly complain either — so I gets no props.

Again the question arises: should we be drilling in areas where the backup plan is “I dunno, um, I guess we could drop a funnel on it? Or maybe a top hat? And some poison?”
