@GåßëÊdwå®d§ - - Half British/Half Colombian Volvo-driving Gluteal Haberdashery.: Man, great save, I was worried you'd turned into a hopeless curmudgeon.

@all oiled up: This isn't Tesla or Fisker, it's Morgan, they've been hand-crafting cars like this forever. I've read elsewhere they're already taking deposits on the car so I certainly hope you'll be able to buy it.

@all oiled up: I can't hear you over how much you need to STFU.

Mark Zuckerberg, the world's most boring billionaire. Why isn't he kite surfing with a naked model on his back?

@BrianMadigan: The wrong kinds of girls is what you should be after in high school.

@Lomig: I believe Mr. Neil is gay, but the rest of your comment seems accurate.

@ferris209: And yet again, Obama Derangement Syndrome rears its ugly head in an annoying attempt to maintain a non-existent anti-capitalist bogeyman fantasy.

@arozzi: Wow, uppity much? Those aren't even new.

@long_live_the_E36: "Damn you Kenyan Muslim Terrorist for cutting the budget on a technologically pointless, hugely expensive, dangerous and wasteful government jobs program!

(seriously though, robotic exploration FTW. It's cheaper, faster, and far more safe.)

@twinturbo2: You must be new to the internet, whining about something to make it go away only makes you a target of ridicule.

@twinturbo2: Who the hell would want to? It would be like winning at making out with your mom.

Funny, when I saw this on Reddit a yesterday there was a watermark that seems to have been mysteriously cropped out since.

Not only that but the original image was put next to the starting image.

Nice sourcing.

@jodark: Why would you when you already have wells there/there's no more oil there/it's easier to drill in areas where you aren't being regulated as heavily?

I'm by no means absolving BHO or blaming GWB, I think Obama's probably the greatest Republican president liberals ever voted for, it's just that after decades of oil companies being in bed with the government, slowly dumbing down MMS and other related agencies, we're now seeing exactly what it's like when a branch of government is small enough to be drowned in a bathtub.

"During the Bush Administration in 2004, the MMS granted a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to certain oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico, including individual exploration plans. The MMS essentially said that it will not thoroughly review the environmental impacts of certain activities, including such activities as the exploration phase for the Deepwater Horizon site. Some legal analysts argue that this was wrong because the 2004 MMS Departmental Manual explicitly stated that a categorical exclusion should not be issued if the lease or exploration is: (1) In areas of high seismic risk or seismicity, relatively untested deepwater, or remote areas; or (2) Within the boundary of a proposed or established marine sanctuary, and/or within or near the boundary of a proposed or established wildlife refuge or areas of high biological sensitivity; or (3) In areas of hazardous natural bottom conditions; or (4) Utilizing new or unusual technology. The Deepwater Horizon project was deep and it used new technology."

@jodark: Would you like them to form a new agency with the express purpose of awaiting oil spills to clean up? Perhaps take over the private company and operate its oil clean up resources? Seems like the kind of thing everyone with Obama Derangement Syndrome would otherwise screech against.

This disaster is exactly what republicans and conservatives are asking for when they say they want smaller government, less regulation and the free market to make its own path.

Bed made, now sleep in it and enjoy it.

I'm not big into sports, but that cannot possibly be an actual name can it?

Fer real?

@zeeboid: Oh gee, a site called investopedia saying legislation which limited bank's ability to the trade the public's horses in any market was bad. I think it's obvious you and I won't see eye-to-eye on this one. I do agree regulation can be bad, but it can also be good. The Randian ideal is just that, an ideal, it has no place in reality because people are greedy, morally bankrupt assholes when it comes to money.
