“Being a characteristically tight Minnesotan, outgoing Governor Tim Pawlenty’s Freedom First PAC doesn’t just spend its money all over town. Oh No. It wants some value for its bum dollar.

I wanted to love Machete as much as the next guy the few people this film was target at. But logically it suffered. For example, look at Machete’s to chest-strapped machete knives below. How exactly are those thicker-at-the-top knives supped to be unsheathed?

BP enginner on what the crew plans to do once the well survives the final pressure test:
“We’re going to have a good meal together — prime rib.”
It’s a lot to expect your engineers to be a little PR savvy, but, come on guys… you couldn’t maybe say you were going for, like, shrimp or yellowfin. Do you know how good yellowfin is?!
