Just when you think life can't get any more absurd, scientists find an invisible plum under the sea.

Tony Hayward is just a fucking muppet used by BP for stalling purposes. Did you see how many times he said "I don't know"
during the hearing?

"something happened a long time ago in the United States, and people might not want to talk about it, they were under the heel of the English, uh, you know, King Georges the third and whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the devil, they said, we will serve you, if you get us free from the King, true story.
And so the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.' And they kicked the English out, the Colonist revolted and got themselves free, and ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately fat. . . the continent of America is one island cut down in three parts, On the one side is Canada, on the other side is the Mexico. Canada is, is, prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. The U.S is in desperate turmoil, same Islands, uh, they need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy, I'm optimistic something good may come, but right now we're helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable."

Yeah I don't know how you could watch that hearing and come away with the impression that BP is sincerely doing everything it can. I was telling someone the other day I thought hearings like this are usually a waste of time, and my expectation was that I would end up feeling somewhat sorry for Hayward in spite of it all, since he was doing his best to fix things.
In fact, the callous fuck simply refused to answer dozens of perfectly reasonable questions that would have helped people understand the situation. I guess because it's not in BP's interest to shed any light on things. I would have been more impressed if he stood up, Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men style, and accused everyone of hypocrisy because they use oil or something to that effect, but he just sort of obfuscated and mumbled his way though.
Whereas I thought the questions were not actually grandstanding and got into some specific technical issues. But feel free to use whatever storyline is easiest to understand I guess...after all "deathboy" says he doesn't care about the oil spill, unless it makes his gas prices go up. Seems like that's a sentiment shared by a lot of people in this country - me, me, me.

Talking of 'Chain of responsibility' check out Warren Anderson former CEO of Union Carbide when the Bhopal disaster resorted in a reported 20,000 deaths.

"All of these things lead to only one place, a fully wide open well bore directly to the oil deposit...after that, it goes into the realm of "the worst things you can think of" The well may come completely apart as the inner liners fail. There is still a very long drill string in the well, that could literally come flying out...as I said...all the worst things you can think of are a possibility, but the very least damaging outcome as bad as it is, is that we are stuck with a wide open gusher blowing out 150,000 barrels a day of raw oil or more. There isn't any "cap dome" or any other suck fixer device on earth that exists or could be built that will stop it from gushing out and doing more and more damage to the gulf. While at the same time also doing more damage to the well, making the chance of halting it with a kill from the bottom up less and less likely to work, which as it stands now?....is the only real chance we have left to stop it all." If that guy is right I can't see one how BP will be a company but more importantly how fucked our ocean would be. Lets hope those guys at theoildrum.com are just being nuts.

what training do you need to clean up oil? Isn't there an awful lot of unemployed people in the states that could be shipped over to the coast to at least try and clean the NEVER ENDING oil flow.
This is not funny. We all share the ocean.
I think of quitting my job everyday and going to the gulf to do something. ANYTHING.
I'm sad that I can do nothing.

Looks like they're going to give Costner's brother's deal a shot:
- "BP has purchased 32 of his machines and is testing them now in the hopes of getting them to the spill site soon."PonyBoy
