tar sands: more bad mojo

perhaps not as scary as paul giamatti playing shane macgowan, but this tar sands pipeline bullshit is pretty fucking disgusting.  the obama administration is all for it, of course, and lots has been made about the pipe fitters union being as short sighted and greedy as the afl-cio was during the patco strike.  basically, we have a fucked political and social culture in this country, and this is just another horrible example of how fucked we all are.
