I have some righteous indignation to get off my chest and it’s aimed right at BP. We all know about the Gulf oil spill and the effects it is having not just on the ecology of the Gulf but also what it is doing to our national political scheme. We have entered an era of finger pointing and blaming and political spin that hasn’t been seen for a long time. Lost in this muck is the facts about the cleanup. BP execs said today that their experimental plan to try and stop the oil leak could only be implemented as early as Wednesday. And the language they were using made it sound as if their not really optimistic that it will happen that soon. Also, they’re not even sure it will work!! They never thought to try this even though they went full steam ahead in building the off shore rig. While it is a mile down, find a way to test this since this was always a possible disaster, you nitwits! As if that isn’t bad enough, if this plug experiment doesn’t work, execs said it will be several months before a relief well can be drilled. OK, you just take your time meanwhile the shrimping industry and other industries in the Gulf will just slowly die while you get your act together. WHERE’S YOUR PLANNING!? Is there not one Boy Scout among you? The boy scout motto of “Be Prepared” was obviously not something you studied in school. IDIOTS!

I’m sorry for this post, but the more I read about this, the angrier I get.
