Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) “released the following statement this afternoon in reaction to the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,” according to a press release.
“Like many Nevadans and Americans, I am watching the recent events regarding the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico with great concern. I was saddened to learn about the terrible loss of life and send my condolences to the loved ones of those who perished. I am also alarmed by the environmental impact of this incident and its potential to get even worse in the coming days.
“This terrible event will, undoubtedly, require us to re-examine how we extract our nation’s offshore energy resources and will have to be taken into consideration with any legislation that proposes to open new areas to development. I am pleased that the Obama Administration has swiftly deployed significant federal resources to help minimize and contain this incident. We will continue to follow the developments in the Gulf of Mexico closely.”

Congress in Your Pocket
What a beautiful leak – twenty thousand barrels of lovely lube a day. I love the oily mass that bulges outwards from a bent pipe. A brown Rorschach blot of the automobile culture.
An endless orgasm of brown to win the King’s crown. The ejaculate of Hell sent by the wind-whipped swell.
My most fervent hope is that all efforts to stop and mitigate this masterwork are failures. The incontinent flow of hydrocarbons shall continue for the decay of all.
I would love to see a sea of greasy Devil’s blood flowing into the ocean forever more. The spew that flew right on through.
Then the World can move on into its next phase, the Dark Phase of death, decline and destruction. Soon, all the works of humans will decay and so too will themselves be brought to the altar of slaughter, to account for their crimes of existence.
