Gulf fiasco is so bad, it's funny - literally!

The ludicrousness of this whole Gulf of Mexico fiasco just struck me funny all of a sudden. Sorry, I know human, environmental and economic death and destruction is not funny but the politics of it is so wacked out, I'm having a hard time keeping a straight face about it anymore - it really is humorous - in a macabre way. Let me explain.

First we have BP CEO Downplays Significance of Gulf Oil Spill and Obama: Oil "catastrophe is unprecedented", then Obama: U.S. 'in charge' of oil spill response, US coast guards harass journalists covering BP's oil spill disaster, and Coast Guard Tells Louisiana Residents Oil Spill is not an Environmental Disaster. But, now that the government's in charge, BP says Gulf oil leak is 'environmental catastrophe'.

I guess what comes out of their mouths just depends on who's in charge at the moment.

Now THAT is wacked!

Agreed - It's completely obnoxious.

Did you expect anything else? I sure didn't...

I just didn't expect it to be so out-in-the-open obvious that even those snoring are aware of it. My 12 year old daughter, who obviously doesn't pay much attention to this stuff, is even confused by it.

This whole fiasco is a sick environmental "relay" with the baton being responsibility and leadership. It ought to be interesting to see who crosses the finish-line with it.

star and flag just ridiculous

More like a "hot potato", if you ask me. Nobody wants the responsibility even though both BP and government are EQUALLY responsible. What's so funny though, is that they don't seem to care how stupid they both look. They are really showing their stripes and they just don't seem to care.
