Some chucklehead in the TP was pushing the ""burn the oil" trope the other day. Like "what's the big deal? America burns more than that in our cars every hour." Apparently in his mind there's no difference between refined gasoline and crude oil.

I'm sorry to say, but there's almost a Karmic retribution side to torching the spill like Saddam's oil fields. Gawd.

Oh, and have you noticed how it's now "equally" BP's AND "the government's" fault? Way to move those goalposts, wingnuts. Soon it'll be "if the government hadn't got in the way, BP would have fixed this by now."
