A few readers have noted that another gulf oil rig has exploded. This one is off the coast of Lousiana. So far all the workers are accounted for, but they are in immersion suits waiting for rescue.

    Even though it's not their rig, I'm sure BP had some nefarious hand in it all. The oil leak, hurricanes, Lockerbie, 9-11 etc and now this!

    Wow, what a spin! Two oil rigs explode, so the environmentalists are to blame! Have you considered a career in Fox News?

    You're right, it was like when earthquakes were the mainstream story of the week.

    Now if we can only find out how to blame the oil platform explosions on global warming...

    Why do you people always have to invent strawmen?
