If the hurricane wasn't enough now we have oil and smartasses.

Letterman is another example of somebody who hasn't got a clue how
serious this is.
That spill isn't plugged yet either.

Oh come on - he was just trying to be a bit light hearted in the midst of a

I did overreact and as one who uses gallows humour quite often, I
should have picked up on that. My apologies.

I won't take back anything I said about the seriousness of the
