Toles slams our failed energy policy, right wing - "There is really only one strategy remaining for conservatives. Prevent an economic recovery while Obama is still president, thereby clearing the way for an anger-filled electorate to lift up a truly crazy

Time magazine's Joe Klein — a generally moderate/centrist columnist — famously said of GOP last year:   "How can you sustain a democracy if one of the two major political parties has been overrun by nihilists? … How can you maintain the illusion of journalistic impartiality when one of the political parties has jumped the shark?"

Uber-cartoonist Tom Toles offers some similarly blunt words for the nihilistic right-wingers in Congress today — along with a cartoon he headlines "Ever so sorry":

Meet Polaris Applied Sciences, BP's shoreline "eyes and ears"

This cross-post is from part of the Wonk Room's exclusive investigation of the private contractors working under BP's control to respond to the foreign oil giant's Gulf Coast disaster.

"I am confident that we're going to be able to leave the Gulf Coast in better shape than it was before," President Barack Obama declared after visiting the oil-soaked region in June. The long-term restoration of the coast will require radical changes in waterway management, land use, and reversal of the ...

Jimmy Buffett revises Margaritaville lyrics in Gulf concert: "But I know, it's all BP's fault."

I'd take Jimmy over Warren any day!  Think Progress has the story and video:

On Sunday, singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett performed a free concert that drew thousands of people to the Gulf Shores of Alabama. The concert was an effort to show support for the Gulf Coast and hopefully lure visitors to the area. Attendees showed up to the concert sporting anti-BP shirts.
