I read in the St. Pete Times this morning that BP has created a web site soliciting for ideas on how to stop the Earth from ejaculating more of it's oily jism into the Gulf of Mexico. Our "drill, baby, drill" leaders (see: dickweeds) assured us that safeguards were already in place and all involved were more than prepared for any eventuality. So, why is BP asking "Joe the Plumber" for ideas?
My suggestion would be to take the BP decision makers, "drill, baby, drillers", Palin, Halliburton, Bush and Cheney, stuff them into a tube and blast them down to plug up the leak. While I find that idea to be personally satisfying, I doubt that it would be environmentally prudent. Alright then, it should appear obvious that I have no ideas to put forward for stopping this disaster from worsening. Hopefully someone will come up with something before the Gulf turns into a vast salty oil can.
And in closing: A pro-drilling moron posting on-line recently, stated that we should not stop drilling because of a simple accident. He likened it to outlawing autos because of a fender-bender. He is a poster boy for the banning of in-breeding and/or bestiality; neither of which advances the human gene pool. For one thing this debacle cannot be referred to as an accident. An accident "in chancery jurisprudence, signifies such unforeseen events, misfortunes, losses, acts or omissions, as are not the result of any negligence or misconduct in the party." (Francis' Max. M. 120, p. 87; 1 Story on Eq. Sec. 78.) This Gulf oil disaster falls more clearly under the definition of criminal negligence and those involved should be immediately prosecuted by the Federal government and then castigated (or is that castrated...oh well, either way) with extreme prejudice. Additionally, Obama should remove BP from the spill and containment effort and hand the project to an entity more capable of bringing about a solution.
And, goddammit...do it now!
