BP suffered a setback when a discharge of liquid and gases forced it to remove the containment cap.
How would this force them to remove the cap? It was liquid and gas before, no? There is a point at which you start finding the conspiracy theories just that little bit more convincing.

That was so quick, it's like it never happened. Almost wish Rove was around to give up to the minute commentary, but the minute passed already.
And so did the 15.

Think you could also argue that for all the sound and fury, the protests against the '81 Tour did not hasten the fall of apartheid by a single day, let alone stop The Tour.
Wasn't there a documentary not too long ago where John Minto was thanked for his role in the 81 protests by Desmond Tutu? Although Minto himself despaired over the limited progress being made in real terms for the poor in South Africa during his visit. Highlighted again by Tin-town during the Cup.
Do those seen as 'leaders' in these circumstances have some sort of obligation/responsibility to, well, lead? Maybe not, but they arguably have the 'opportunity'.

I'm making it worse, aren't I?
And better, all at the same time.
Asleep Style.
That's even better than the Aussie joke I remember. Mind you, looking at events overnight, we may need a punchline for this.
Q: What does Kevin Rudd say when he wants to screw the country while they sleep?
A: Are you awake?
Hmm, needs work. Bit like Ruddy.

Speaking of contextual validity, everything the Top Twins do is solid gold, so I wouldn't care of they yodelled while poll dancing and singing gospel.
Hmm, maybe there is a line one shouldn't cross.

Strangely apropos.
I love that the before shots are all white-coated men, and the after shots, well not men. And they even play racquet-ball! The feminisation of Science? In a good way, of course.

Did someone call for a contextualising invalid?
As this couldn't get any better, I'm going to go sleepy byes now.
Love your work ;-)

"4am hook-ups"! Who the hell is getting those?
I'm reminded of a certain joke for which the punchline is 'are you awake'? Or in the real world 'fawck orf, I'm 'leeping'.

Out there in the real world, he didn't achieve that. It looked like he was trying to harness the event for his personal profile.
No point re-stating what Russell has said, which was all good, but yes, this is what I wanted to express.
But are we crticising him for not having thought out his protest as well as one might hope? Is that an essential part of his job?
Yes, and, maybe? Although he is not employed by the Tibetans.

contextually invalid
I might actually put that on a t-shirt.
I

Contextually
InvalidYou're right, of course. Or something ;-)
