Red state, black sludge

So what if it's 1 April? This makes perfect sense, from Wonkette : So is there any correlation between today's presidential announcement about drilling, baby, drilling for oil off these specific sections of America's Coastlines? Ha ha, well yes, there is. States that voted for John McCain get to enjoy oil spills and coastal devastation. Not that they're the kind of people who own swimwear or go to beaches or swim or whatever. But what about Virginia? It went Red for Bob McDonnell last November, and McDonnell loves him some oil drillin'! Enjoy that, Virginia!
