It's officially the sort of disaster that allows a different direction, due to timing and magnitude. It's a blindingly obvious confirmation of the way we get our energy being unsustainable and wrong. No amount of sequestration of carbon or half-measures of hybrids will cure the problem. Not that I'm entirely opposed to those ideas; they are just band aids on symptoms, when renewable sources represent the long term answer to energy, environment and national security quandaries, and the sad fact of deaths and almost certain significant releases of petroleum highlight the obvious.

While the Republicans have been screaming about wetting their pants and wetting their pants screaming about terror softies during the past week or so, apparently our president has been doing his job. For most politicians, perhaps even to some degree those from our party, such an effort would have primarily centered on collecting the best retorts and spinning them vehemently back at the opposition, while decrying those barbarous brainwashed thugs from that hateful foreign religion. Anything to mollify the lowest common denominators of our national discourse would have been the tone of the times.

Nothing says sincerity like numbers, especially massive numbers, and I'm frankly surprised not to have seen calls for that most impressive, most public offering of support for real healthcare reform.
