Edited on Mon May-31-10 08:52 AM by Stuart G
Let us give it a name, now, and forever...today tomorrow,
......all of us, and in all of our communications to everyone all the time..Democratic Underground's Contribution....

it is not the Gulf oil spil....

It is ...." THE BP OIL SPILL ....now....".THE BP OIL GUSHER."

Let them own this forever...they gave it to us, let them own it.

1. I prefer Gusher, BP's Gulf Gusher, but no one lets me name anything.

3. That's my preference too.
A spill is not what BP has created. It is a Gusher.

9. I've called it the gusher because that's what it is
words are important. It's like calling a life threatening hemorrhage a paper cut.

12. Oh, I've never called it an oil spill anyway...
A spill is what happens when I tip over my glass of milk on the table.


This is, like you said, the BP oil gusher....the BP oil tragedy....the BP oil fuckup...disaster...

16. I am saying "BP gusher" a lot
or "BP disaster" at times....

"Gusher" is much closer to the truth than "spill" or the really stupid "leak"

Right, milk spills, toilets leak, but runaway oil wells gushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
