Monday link dump: Don't mention the war

• BP: not entirely truthful about how many barrels of oil are spilling or how many they are collecting. Also, they're much better at traditional PR than they are at crisis PR.
• J.D. Hayworth knows his history: we never declared war on Germany. Except that we did.
• Here's a preview of the upcoming Indonesian film "Little Obama."
• This is a great Wired piece on a guy who has a plan to fix traffic, forever. (It will never happen.)
• Why aren't Fannie and Freddie in the financial reform bill? Because the Senate can barely do one thing at a time! We've been over this! They'll get to Fannie and Freddie later.
