Fuck you, Rep. Joe Barton

First, see this article before reading this post, and it will make more sense.

Dear Rep. Barton,

Thank you for apologizing to BP over the unfair treatment they have received from the White House.

Here's a few other companies you should probably apologize to while you're at it:

- Comcast. Here they are trying to limit our access to the internet, and all we hear about are the advantages of so-called "net neutrality." Hey, if they want to turn the internet into an electronic caste system where some people get full access to the greatest democratic medium of our lifetime while others don't, so be it.

- Toyota. Their cars malfunctioned and hurt and injured people, and all we could do was give them a hard time about it. Hey, if they want to manufacture and sell deathtraps and people are dumb enough to buy them, I say it's the consumers' fault. You should probably get on that one soon.

- Blackwater/Xe. Now our private military contractors can't even kill innocent civilians without being charged with war crimes. We should apologize and just let them kill whoever they want on the taxpayer's dime.

- Union Carbide... oh never mind. We never did anything after this company killed thousands of people in Bhopal, India. No apology necessary there.

Anyway, keep up the apologies. I'm sure another oil company will find a way to further rape our environment, and I'm sure you'll be lining up to kiss their a** too so you can ensure yourself a nice cushy job when your constituents realize that you don't serve them, just your corporate puppet masters, and they vote you out. Then again, it's Texas, so your greed and right-wing duplicity are probably assets.

By the way, can you pass on tips on how you sleep at night? I'm a decent person who doesn't enjoy standing up for evil and greed, but I still have trouble sleeping. What's your secret?
