I'm starting to think I should make a Fuck You! tag.  There, done.

Lindsey linked to this monologue by an expert in the oil/gas industry about the clusterfuck that is BP's "clean-up effort" in the gulf, specifically in re: booming.  It's sort of funny because there's so much profanity, but really it's more horrific/enraging.

Lindsey GDI stop deleting your comments

[royinpink.livejournal.com]

I didn't delete it!

Also, I think I only delete comments in my own journal. Or at least almost always.

Weird... I know, you don't delete comments. Did I accidentally delete it? I don't think so.

no idea what happened. for the sake of posterity, i'll re-post it here:

thank this dude for sharing the post/video on reader.

incidentally, the author of the post was also author of that crazy, pretty much pornographic fantasy book i picked up at a used bookstore when i was younger and was totally not ready for.
