"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Some asshole in Louisiana wants to rename "Gulf of Mexico", "Gulf of America."

WTFF?

Really?

We are in a recession, Congress has a 10% approval rating, most people when asked think that a random person chosen from the phone book would do better than Congress and THIS is what you fucking propose?

Really?

I'm going to bed. Wake me up in December.

Can we rename him "Gulf Inside Your Brainpan"?

Well, he's certainly proving that true.

Dana, I totally get that attitude (about weight-loss through illness). You are not the first to think that.

James Fallows has a longass article about Obama as president: [link] He is cautiously optimistic.

No shit. If we're going to rename the Gulf, at least make some money by selling the naming rights. "Gulf of BP" has a nice ring or maybe "Gulf of Shell" which is very nautical. Maybe "iGulf" or "Old Navy Gulf".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I would support this if it were to be renamed "Bottomless Gulf of America". I think you should have a bottomless gulf somewhere nearby. It would bring America one step closer to replicating the Death Star.

I mean, it wouldn't actually be a bottomless gulf, but I'd be happy just getting the Tea Party to believe it.

It can be hard to spot satire these days.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did he post it on the Onion? That's how you know.

Because books.

Ugh, Dana. I'm so sorry you're sick. That kind of virus is hugely no fun.
