Jokes about national disasters are not very funny to most of us, so I think Dave Barry’s flip comments about the blowout were ill advised. Perhaps Dave, like many others, never noticed or has forgotten that the blowout killed eleven workers. Despite the continuous coverage of oil flowing into the Gulf, this reality show wasn’t for amusement purposes.
That said, one comment in Dave’s review did make me smile. This line has been recycled for years in various forms, but always draws a reaction:
Meanwhile, Congress holds televised hearings that establish, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Congress is very upset about, and totally opposed to, large oil spills.
