Entirely appropriate course of action.

Except this is the Obama administration. It'll be used to regulate nuclear power out of existence if they can swing it.

I don't listen to him anymore. To me he is President Mute.

Pretty close to our own; we call him "President Where's-the-Mute?"

Death toll from tsunami, 16,000+

Death toll from radiation, 0.

Obviously, we must place a moratorium of development of nuclear energy and stick a few hundred bureaucrats up the operators backside.

I’m afraid those online image editing sites are all going to close sooner or later. That will be bad news.

It is mucho tricky compositing an animated .gif over a 30-frame scrolling marquee text .gif

I developed some methods in 2009 but have not used them since - so I used the still text - the gibberish result happened - I thought I might redo it and upload/overwrite it - later
