2. Ever read Greg Palast's "Best democracy money can buy"?
He talks about the exxon valdez and how the real reason it went was because the radar system was shut down, something to do with budget cuts. crazy!

7. I now know a new meaning of the word "list."
To capsize while beached... I think.

Which that ship miraculously didn't. Amazing.
