Reality Check
Jim Morin is an editorial cartoonist at the Miami Herald. He has branched out to doing animations. His latest, Oil and the Pelican, is 30 seconds well spent if you can view video without a problem.
The sound is a real clip from a May 31, 2010 news conference, all too familiar to those of us on the Coast paying attention. The effect is brutally honest… and I approve this message [as the politicians say, with the difference that I won’t attempt to disown it if someone has a hissy fit.]

Nicely done, thanks for the link!
When I heard Hayward whine, “There’s no one who wants this over more than I do. I would like my life back.” I could only think of the 11 men who died on the rig. I suspect, Mr. Hayward, that their families would like to get their lives back.

It was shock for me when I ran it the first time, a matter of a double take when I realized what Morin had done, and how well he did it.
