I Hope You're Happy

Texas Governor Rick Perry said the oil spill “could be an act of God”, instead of, you know, a basic and huge industrial accident, and certainly not the fault of big oil or more close to (political) home, Halliburton, who had just finished cementing the drill shaft. Most experts are withholding judgment, but laying the blame most likely on the cementing job. I heard an expert saying it was hard to imagine the cementing not being part of the cause of this. Instead Rick Perry blames his deity. How nice of him.

All I ask is for evidence based government, is that too much to ask?
