Extra hugs for you! I saw Sen. Landrieu on Tweety's show while I was folding some t-shirts and I found myself yelling at the teevee and threw a shirt at the screen.

Strangely enough, the mr. asked over dinner, "Who will be the first asshole to mention that because there are car crashes..."

I laughed and mentioned, "Strangely enough, it was the supposed Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu on Hardball." Tweety was asking her why more assets to capture the oil weren't in the Gulf, why the oil companies didn't seem to be working together to share tankers, etc., to stop the destruction in the Gulf. She responded with something like, when there are airplane crashes, we don't expect other airlines to get involved...

I lost it. When there is a tragic plane crash, it is finished and the NTSB goes in to investigate. This is an ongoing catastrophe and I agree that every asset, every smart brain should be engaged to deal with this.
