BP just had a spill up in Alaska
With the Gulf Coast dying of oil poisoning, there's no space in the press for British Petroleum's latest spill, just this week: over 100,000 gallons, at its Alaska pipeline operation. A hundred thousand used to be a lot. Still is.

On Tuesday, Pump Station 9, at Delta Junction on the 800-mile pipeline, busted. Thousands of barrels began spewing an explosive cocktail of hydrocarbons after "procedures weren't properly implemented" by BP operators, say state inspectors. "Procedures weren't properly implemented" is, it seems, BP's company motto.

Wonder what Palin's involvement in ensuring that the procedures were being followed. Alaska is the only state that allows regulators access to the oil fields.

You know, Palin's husband, Todd, used to work for BP up in Alaska
