She gets arrested for dumping fake oil on herself but the people at BP can dump millions of gallons of real oil into the ocean and still go to yacht races and lavish parties. She shoulda took out 11 of those speakers with her when she went down.

@ijitdunn A decent heartfelt response. It is sad. America has become a sad, paranoid and ignorant place. Education standards have dropped, industry has collapsed and the leader of the free world is still under the tried and failed Reaganomics rhetoric of small government and greed is good. So many Americans are under the spell of the propaganda of hate. The truth is out there but it's easier to watch trash zombievision.

@seamoremonster Sadly, no. They only get to see a bunch of racists whose only real gripe is that their party is no longer in power. But, what's sadder than the orchestrated populist outcry from the far right against such real concerns as "death Panels", a "non-citizen" President, Imaginary Tax Hikes, etc, is the the so called "liberal" mainstream media's willingness to give such nonsense airtime and the Dems capitulation to their manufactured distress.
