We should come up with a name for this mess.
I'm leaning toward "The Cheney Disaster", but I'm open to suggestions.

And be sure to memorize this for your conservative friends:

The second issue as to the shutoff valve failing was addressed in Friday's Wall Street Journal (hardly a liberal mouthpiece). The oil industry successfully lobbied Cheney/Bush in 2003 to overturn a 2000 ruling, under the Clinton Admin., to *not* require an override switch that is in use elsewhere in the world, most notably in Norway and Brazil. It is required in those countries to prevent just this type of thing from happening.

2. This is the Republican Dream World - they have been working for this moment
since Bush I / Quayle started repealing safety regulations on industry. The LOVE the idea of business regulation iteslf - which means no regulation at all. and of the "market" regulating bad business prectices. Well, BP made some bad decisions here to save money, and evidently one of them was to buy the cheapest type of booms for their emergency oil spill clean up program - the booms they supplied are poorly made and coming apart. People who should be deploying those booms have to spend time repairing them.
If this year does not serve at least to point out the tragic failure of the GOP's "thinking" for the last 40 years, I have no idea what will do it. If Democrats do not have the initiative to call the GOP on these issues NOW, they are hopeless.

We MUST vote as many republicans out of office as we possibly can.

3. Drill baby drill disaster
Cheney is old news, boosh is old news and yes they need to be prosecuted for their crimes but we need to deal with the future oil hungary republicans.

Those who have suddenly been silent following their cries to drill baby drill.

11. Yeah, and we can call the concrete containment gizmo the "PalinDome"
I suppose it's a pun on "palindrome," too, but that's a little obscure for the dumb shits in the "drill, baby, drill" crowd.
