Interior Secretary Ken Salzar, speaking of the oil slick from the British Petroleum oil rig that just happened to blow up on Earth Day, told Fox News

We were stepping on the neck of BP to do everything we can do

and told CNN

Our job is keep our boot on the neck of British Petroleum and make sure they live up to their responsibilities.

Just a short jump to George Orwell's

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
