I've gotta say, I am getting really sick and tired of BP's bullshit. It's been, what, fourty-three days and those buffoons STILL haven't stopped their bitching and finger pointing and gotten some intelligent engineers on the job to repair one of the largest oil spills in history and what's being called "greatest environmental disaster of its kind" (President Obama). Seriously, Jesus. The latest estimate said that 12,000-10,000 barrels were being discharged per day. That is outrageous. Outrageous. I mean come-on. Plus, BP's plans are getting more outrageous every day. Reporter: "Sir, what is your latest plan to put an end this underwater Vesuvius of oil from oozing out into the Gulf?" Sir: "Well, I've gotta say, I'm really proud of my team today. Yesterday we've finalized our final plans to end this catastrophe and I believe it to be one of the most ingenious displays of what can happen when great minds such as ourselves really put our heads together. You see, we plan on tying a Glad garbage bag to the end of the pipe. And then, if this plan should happen to fall through, we can blame this on Glad!! It's perfect!!" Reporter: ->insert facepalm<-
Here's a link from NYT that tracks the spread of the oil spill if you're interested:
