BTW, I really loved that painting you sent me, but I just couldn't hang it on the ladder amidst all this Goo. Too beautiful. Waiting for a better day.
Yikes.

Editilla,
Maybe you should have two ladders,
one for goo and one for good stuff...though, unfortunately, it's probably impossible to keep the two separate, since the goo keeps finding its way onto all the nice stuff, thanks to the goopers.

Not sure if you saw this, EPA Whistleblower Accuses Agency of Covering Up Effects of Dispersant in BP Oil Spill Cleanup

It's pretty unusual (to say the least) to see this kind of scathing criticism of the current policy (Kaufman is essentially accusing the EPA head of a crime) coming from "inside" at such high levels during a crisis.
