Bewildering Damage and No Accountability

Like many, I'm lost for words on the Gulf Oil Disaster - the worst environmental disaster EVER, and worsening every day. I'm even more shocked that we don't seem to have learnt a thing:

 

"Meanwhile, the US government regulators who oversee offshore oil drilling have granted at least 19 environmental waivers for gulf drilling projects and 17 drilling permits since the oil leak began more than a month ago, the New York Times reported on Monday."

Mid-week musical goodness The Clientele covering M.I.A.

Gotta love how catchy M.I.A.'s break-out hit "Paper Planes" is, and here the fantastic indie band The Clinetele do a brilliant cover! Thanks to my favourite pop culture comment site - the AV Club.
