My plea to the MSM: Stop referring to the oil in sweet, harmless terms!
I've heard this sludgy, bloody filth described by both the MSM and politicos as:

Mousse
Chocolate
Marshmallow
Caramel
Frosting

and so on...

From here forward it should be described as it is - fetid, stinking feces.

1. I had the feeling that THAT was what Rachel wanted to say when
she lifted the hunk of what looked for all the world like SHIT up on a stick for the camera.

4. Wasn't that exactly what Jon Stewart called it?
The word was bleeped of course, but the pictures spoke for themselves!

Just when I thought I was at a loss for words!

:mad:

3. A Haley Barbourism
Toothpaste. Chocolately, creamy toothpaste. What harm could come from that?

7. How many ads do the media run purchased by BP?
Now, think about the futility of asking them to do something that benefits all of us. Corporations only have fiduciary responsibility in this culture.

11. "I did good boss, didn't I? Didn't I?"
Like little spastic lapdogs.

"I downplayed it like you said. I only used non-threatening adjectives ALL the time. I did good. Yeah, I did good."

12. Maybe there's a method to their madness ...

If they keep using such terms, perhaps Rush Limbaugh will be inspired to run down to the coast and eat it.
