Another Leak, Another Leak

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

This week in mind numbing stupidity:

1) Pay an Iranian defector $5 million for information about Iran’s nuclear program, then watch him go back to Tehran. (“Oh well, we’ve still got some of the money!”)

2) Ex-Admiral Fifth Rate convinces everyone that this time, really, we’ll plug that oil spill, well, just as soon as the leak in the testing equipment is fixed.

3) The President of the United States asks a billionaire and a centrist Democratic blow job expert for advice on the US economy.

No Surprise There

Apparently not on the verge of success, BP’s delayed the testing on its new cap in the Gulf of Mexico.

Ex-Admiral Fifth Rate, until yesterday as gung ho as could be that the cap would stop the oil flow for good, now says “We decided that the process may benefit from additional analysis”.

Oh, and still no word on the negotiations between BP and the US government should the relief wells not work as advertised.

No one in the press seems to want to bother asking a difficult question or two. It’s very reminiscent of the non-discussion about unemployment.
