- Congressman Suggests Ritual Suicide to BP Executive
- [Firedoglake]
At yesterday’s House Energy and Commerce committee hearings with the executives of BP, Exxon, Shell, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) suggested Lamar McKay should commit ritual suicide instead of resigning.
Cao is Vietnamese-American who represents New Orleans and many Louisianans feeling pain from the oil disaster, including a big percentage of Vietnamese and Asian fishermen idled by the oil.

- Palin: Call in the Dutch!
- [Talking Points Memo]
I tend to think of making fun of Sarah Palin as pretty old hat. I mean, she has to say something pretty silly at this point to make me take notice. But last night she went on O'Reilly to rail on the president for not getting the oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico stopped. And when pressed on just how he was supposed to do that by all of people Bill O'Reilly, Palin said Obama had really blown it by not reaching out to the Dutch since they proved themselves so good at building dikes and sluices and dams to reclaim land from the sea.

- Ankh-Morpork’s Undertaking
- I made an Undertaking (subway) map for Ankh-Morpork, set about 50 years in the future (from canon “now”). I took some liberties with names of places, given the time gap. For instance, Dolly Sisters has become Dollisters, the Whore Pits has become Harpits. Locations are based on the canonical Ankh-Morpork map. Note that the logo is actually octarine – your monitor may not calibrated to display that color properly.
- There’s an app for flat.
