Teribus would make excuses for the Mephistopheles if he were British. Blind patriotism warps one's thinking processes.

And lest Teribus resort to playing the schoolyard game of "Same to you, smarty-pants!" I have already gone on record as saying that I'm not all that patriotic. I know the deficiencies of the American political system pretty well, and am fully aware of and thoroughly deplore the predatory business practices of American corporations.

Or any corporations, for that matter.

And when I agreed with Teribus that "there is plenty of blame to go around," I was not, as he seems to be trying to do, excluding BP.

Grow up, Teribus.

By the way, about that link to Dilletante Chocolate that I posted above. Be warned that if you spend too much time drooling at the picture, you could gain as much as fifteen pounds!
