OT, but can I bitch about my governor for a moment?

Speaking At Trade Association Funded By BP, Gov. Perry Claims Rig Disaster Is An ‘Act Of God’

Yes, because God cut corners, flouted existing regulations, and didn’t install a remote-controlled shut off switch. It’s all his fault and BP is entirely blameless. Really.

I’m well aware how much the oil industry means here in Texas, but goddamn that’s some fancy footwork. I honestly can’t believe the gall of spinning an industrial accident into a divine act. That’s just insane to me.

OK, so the new party line will be that it was an Act of God. That’s how the drill baby drill team will avoid applying any sort of thought into the whole damn situation. Pitiful.
