You have to be the dumbest mother f.ucker on earth or a troll.
Look, dope, this company was woefully unprepared to deal with a disaster like this.

Hell, these amateurs apparently had to start using local fisherman when they finally realized that things were spinning out of control.

There is no room for error in that business … as even your dumb ass can clearly see now…

you both are correct. You are correct in the fact that these type of companies really need to be better prepared. Their "fail safe" measures werent exactly fail safe. It sucks that this happened. But coach is correct cause its us, the consumers, who will be screwed in the end because of this whole mess.

Update - BP says they'll clean up the mess, but they're not at fault.

Barack Obama and Senator Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer continental shelf.

There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that.


-- Sarah Palin ... during vice-presidential debate on 10/2/08

The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is. -- Rush Limbaugh on gulf oil spill

A hurricane late summer is what concerns me. Granted I'm not a scientist but one would think that the water temperature would be a few degrees higher in places.

If N.O. is hit with a hurricane it's going to be a disaster. They are half-assing the levees.

Yeah, you could tell from the early reports that this had the potential to become an environmental disaster of monumental proportions.
