Everyone’s freaking out about the ‘heat-wave’. “It’s almost 100 degrees!” they say; “I can’t take it any longer!” they say; “I’m going to kill myself!”
I have to admit that I’ve been washed along with the heat-wave hysteria too; I thought I was going to go crazy from the hotness of it all. But then I looked at how hot it was in celsius and realized that it’s only about 35º. Let me know when it hits 40. Pussies.
I’m just kidding; it is really hot. I’m going crazy.
In other news, BP are doing some ‘extended reach’ drilling in the Arctic. They’ve built a little Island out of gravel, three miles off the coast, and connected it to the mainland via a causeway. Ipso facto: they’re technically not drilling offshore… even though they are. Is that majorly fucked up, or is it just me?
They’re planning to drill two miles down through their little island and then drill sideways for another eight miles, or until they hit the 105 million barrels of oil they think is down there. This is the longest ‘extended reach’ operation ever attempted, and they’re doing it in the Arctic…
If they fuck this one up it’ll really suck; it’s not easy to get oil spill relief into the tundra; it’s frozen more than half the year…
Business Week reported that despite the well being approved as “onshore” drilling, BP must comply with the offshore drilling safety laws, but whatever, isn’t there a moratorium in effect?
Nice moratorium, President OButt-head.
The hole in the Gulf of Mexico is growing bigger, by the way, because of all the rock fragments coming out with crude. It’s sort of like a sand blaster effect; the rocks are slowly wearing the edges of the hole further out. AAAAAAAAAAAGH! It’s the end of the world. Suck me off.
Now, see how long you can watch this unbearable shit.

Half a million hits on that video; seriously.
We are going to hell. See you tomorrow.
