Sorry Nuclear, you messed up. We were good for awhile, you and I. You moved right into America's #1 top BFF position after that regrettable mishap in the Gulf with Big Oil. You would have to screw up pretty big to outshine that disaster, but you've suceeded. Not one, not two, but 3 core reactors with the possibility of melting down and spreading your radioactive cancer for thousands of miles around the Japanese coast? I guess its our own fault. We knew what you were before we Friended you, and...
