“Are you f–king happy? Are you f–king happy? The rig’s on fire! I told you this was going to happen.”

From what I heard yesterday, we’re supposed to be apologizing to BP for being mean to them.

I too would like to apologize to BP. When may I expect my check for $1.4 million?
(I’m assuming that since I, like Joe Barton, am willing to prostitute myself to the Oil Companies, that I too will qualify for their generosity.)

Ditto Fishskicanoe. When can I expect my check?

Barton said: “I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words — amounts to a shakedown, so I apologize.”
Joe Barton should catch the next plane out. We haven’t heard Dick Cheney’s take on all of this, his company poured the concrete.
Tony Hayward’s performance was predictable in content, obviously following counsels advice, ill advised but normal. But his smirking attitude that bordered on contempt of the proceedings was in keeping with his arrogant attitude throughout. It was announced that he would be relieved of the day-to-day clean up responsibilities. For his own good, they had better advised him get back home and stay a long way from Louisiana. Can’t imagine he’ll vacation in the USA for some time to come.

I recently returned from a dive trip to somewhere where I witnessed marine life that much of the Gulf will not see again for my lifetime, my kids lifetime, and probably beyond.
Sad. Very sad.

Off topic, new thread needed, because you’re a new dad, and so don’t have the routine down. Hey Tom! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
