A great article in the New York Times explores BP’s track record of disaster, safety violations, and maximum profits at high risk, all the while claiming safety is their number one priority. Much like the talking head politicians on Sunday morning talk-shows, or television and radio programs by your Glenn Becks, Rush Limbaugh’s and Sean Hannity’s, Tony Hayward seems to believe that just because you … Continue reading BP: A history of disaster, a culture of empty words
“White House officials say the administration’s commitment to science has not wavered.” Interesting quote from an article in the LA Times., considering what a complete line of crap this is. Remember back in the day, when GW Bush was president and we’d read article after article how federal scientists were pressured to align their research with what the Bush administration wanted as policy? Remember when … Continue reading Scientists feel same pressure to spin research under Obama
What’s this? You mean BP was lying when they said they will “make things right?” No way, you can’t be serious. Louisiana’s Department of Children and Family Services were never even formally told by BP payments were being reduced to 40,000 people; they discovered it when they were reviewing BP’s claim summary and noticed a significant cut in daily payments.

Good morning Chicago! Were you aware British Petroleum, scourge of the south is closer to home than many of you may realize? Yes-sir, they have been operating the fourth largest oil refinery adjacent to Lake Michigan for years, and dumping pollution into the lake for just as long. The Whiting Refinery, located in Whiting, Indiana is perilously close to the drawing point for the entire city of … Continue reading Hey Chicago – BP’s already spilling into Lake Michigan

I’ll admit, I was getting a little nervous. When Sarah Palin was tapped on the head a couple of years back by McCain, we watched a novice crash and burn anytime she was forced off script, it was fun; between her soundbites and GW’s, it was actually a whole lotta fun. That was a couple of years ago however, and since then she’s been doing … Continue reading Bill O’Reilly Goes Rogue, All Over Sarah Palin
The rats, the rats, the rats are deserting BP like they desert the Mississippi River at dusk, heading into the French Quarter… British Petroleum has given bills to the two other companies who own part of the Deepwater Horizon oil well: Mitsui received a bill for 111 million dollars and has until Monday to pay up, but so far have remained mute. Anadrarko Petroleum Corp, … Continue reading With friends like these…Anadarko refuses BP’s bill for cleanup costs
“With the Coast Guard’s blessing…” begins the article in the Times Picayune by Rebecca Mowbray about the latest action being taken by BP to install a new sealing device, one that could allow the company to contain more oil or stop the flow entirely.
