Chronicles of the Absurd, Grinds My Gears, silly

A Picture Says A Thousand Words

From the above picture you would think that our President has BP against the wall. CEO Tony Hayward is making the quasi “fist face” and Obama’s got him on the ropes with his “I mean business” pointer thumb. But no. BP is getting off cheap. So just for the hell of it, I googled “what can I buy for $20 billion” and this is what I got.

Wow. The folks on the Gulf Coast will cost BP what Spam costs in terms of the loss of productivity per year. Hmmm. What else? The US Bank Bailout perhaps? A Microsoft Share buyback? Yep. It sounds like its a lot of money to compensate people who have lost their lively hoods, but its really not. It is only the tip of a multi-generational iceberg whose melt rate will overflow in that area for years and years to come.

Joe Biden’s head down says it all. We are screwed.

BP CEO Tony Hayward is going to start running ads of his apology on national television. The cost of this venture is money that could be going towards the remediation of the Gulf of Mexico and the poor folks who live on its shores. We already know they are sorry. Just in the words of our president “Plug the damn hole!”

The only way that BP is going to solve this issue is if they start working on a time machine. Here’s some ideas BP to get you started:

With so much stupidity running rampant, I thought what a shame not capture it. Today’s tasty ignoramus is none other then that tireless self promoting Alaskan Wolverine a.k.a. A Hockey Mom with Teeth a.k.a Mrs. Stupidity 21st Century…Sarah Palin.

You would have thought that a smarter person would have said how great of a tragedy this was and how this impacts the lives of so many truck driving, animal killing, truck driving fisherman who drink beer and drive around with sharks in their flatbeds kinda folks…since this is her *ahem* political base. Nope. She wants to now push for more onshore drilling in the Alaskan Wildlife National Refuge since those same oil companies have basically destroyed an ocean and land should be up for grabs cause we can plug a hole on land. Really Sarah? Really?  I would have thought it to be a huge wake up call for us to start looking for alternative fuels sources, but under the influence of stupidity, I could see where her beauty pageant logic works.

Since the pay out from BP is going to run out for the folks in the Gulf Region sooner rather then later, I think people should make a mass exodus to Alaska so that when the stupidity takes over, they too can pay no taxes and receive $1,000 a year from those oil companies just for living in her “maverick” state. Think she will take the extra money and buy waterfront property on Prince William Sound?  Or maybe a house on the gulf?  Don’t betcha.

I know. This was too easy.

Let me remind you that:

NOAA has daily updates on the size of the spread, projected locations, and a dead marine animal count going.

It looks as if it will be sometime in August before this thing will be plugged…hoping it even if it can be plugged. The vultures of wall street are leaving the bleeding BP as well; clearing the way for the company to declare bankruptcy, while leaving the US holding the bag for the untold economical, social, environmental, etc…etc..disaster that this has, is and will cause in the near and immediate future.

What will be next for BP? BP will just re-organize and come out again to crawl up your leg like a big black oily tick. Also, why should the Brits care? It will be years before the oil gets to them, if at all. It’s reminds me of the Schoolhouse Rock video “No More Kings” only this time our country is complaining and the “Kings of Industry” do not care. Instead of all this “tea bag” nonsense, this country needs to be shouting “oil change!”.

It just keeps getting better…

Now that BP/Halliburton/Transocean has turned the Gulf of Mexico into the U.S.’s largest filling station…whats next?  How in the hell is it possible to clean it up?  Where are all those celebrities now?  Why no telethons/text coffers to help our own people clean up this disaster?  What good is having all those jokers appear before a congressional committee right now?  How is it helping the situation?

You know its only a question of time before BP declares bankruptcy and leaves the U.S. holding the bag.   And now it appears that the oil is going to be carried via the loop current in the gulf to the Keys, Miami, the Georgia & Carolina coasts….No need for the cast of the Jersey Shore to get their fake tans from a can any more.  MTV can just film them taking a dip in the waters off of Miami…they will come out with that nice orange/brown glow they seem to thrive in.

Does this mean that I can use gulf seafood now to power my car?  Running low on crude, just throw a couple of gulf shrimps in the tank.  We’ll get at least 20 miles out of em.  (maybe 9 miles if its an SUV)
