We have already devised an alternate source of lubrication for the MittBot should oil become scarce.

If Mitt Romney were serious about lowering gas prices, he'd release the strategic petroleum reserves in his hair.

skullkrusher: I think it would be much cooler if Mitt were a steampunk automaton rather than a modern robot. Klockwerk Romney.

Oh shiat, Romney is a Nemesis Plot!

IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

AnonAmbientLight: The GOP is no longer in existance. It is the CPA - Corporatist Party of America.

- They bust unions in the north
- Killing women's working rights/abortions
- Tax cuts for the wealthy
- Tax cuts for the wealthy
- Deregulation
- Ending the EPA

If you're not a rich person or a big business leader, and you vote republican, YOU ARE VOTING AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF INTERESTS.

I noticed your typo of putting "Tax cuts for the wealthy" only twice.

farkityfarker: Romney has been surrounding himself with the same neocon foreign policy advisers that convinced Bush to start the wars, and will probably convince Romney to start more if he is elected.

Americans need to know this. This is probably the biggest policy difference between Romney and Obama, yet it's getting almost no press.

If you are going to keep raping the poor and enriching the already rich, the best backdrop for this is indeed more wars.

LUBRICATE! LUUUUUBRICATE!

Philip Francis Queeg: It was almost as bad as that time that Big Environment drilling rig exploded and millions of barrels of clean, pure water spilled into the ocean.

Just to be pedantic, a lot bunch of fresh water spilling into the ocean (especially if, say, on top of a major current) *Would* probably be bad. The salinity difference would fark up a lot of ocean life, and could cause weird current disturbances, I think?

I don't think it would matter

Think again. A lot of climatologists believe it would stall the thermohaline circulation (the so-called oceanic conveyor belt), the best-known of which is the Gulf Stream. This conveyor belt is what drives ocean currents and, ultimately, creates our global climate. A big dump of fresh water on top of the ocean is one reason serious climatologists are worried about "global warming."

I don't believe dumping a lot of fresh water in Alabama and Mississippi would affect the Gulf Stream too much.

We weren't talking about Alabama and Mississippi dumbass. They're not the ocean. They're mostly land.

I should have been clearer: It wouldn't damage the ocean as a whole, but it would damage the local area. Same reason oil can be harmful (even though the ammount of oil is miniscule compared to the ammount of water in the ocean.)
