First it was Tony-Tiny Hayward who said that the leak in the Gulf of Mexico was tiny compared to the vast ocean. Sure Tony-Tiny or with Tiny brain. Now it is British politicians who are speaking out for BP that Americans and the Obama administration is too harsh on BP. Hello! 11 people died on the first day of the explosion and a huge ecosystem is in ruins as dirty oil keeps spewing out from the broken pipe, maybe over 100,000 barrels per day. And thousands of fishermen are out of luck and out of a job; the same goes for tourism and the entertainment industry which depends on tourism. Now these politicians have put their foot in their mouth.
It sounds like British colonialism all over again. BP and Tony Hayward are their little satellites sent around the world to keep their subjects under control. How much more insensitive and ridiculous will they get? Maybe the crudeness of the British could be attributed to all that crude oil they're covered with – now it turns out that BP is going to sell the crude it manages to recover. Profits and greed shall rule the world.

BP oil spill and the top kill
Top kill was the topnotch kill. It also failed and horror continues. It is so sad. 11 people dead on the day of the rig explosion and since then it has killed a lot of marine creatures and birds. Killed the hopes and survival of fishermen in the gulf and tourism operators. Who knows how many more human lives will be lost because of this ongoing horror. The impact on coastal communities is already being felt and more is to follow.
It is about time to put a complete moratorium on off-shore oil drilling and better and stronger laws to control the unbridled profiteering of oil companies, Wall Street, and other national and international corporations. Recommend this post

Gene Taylor Congressman from Mississippi: Oil is like Chocolate Milk
According to Gene Taylor of Mississippi there is nothing to worry about the B.P. Gulf Coast oil spill. He thinks oil is like chocolate milk and in due course it will take care of itself and break-up in small patches and disappear. I suppose scientists are worried about nothing for damage to marine life and other creatures such as birds. They have a lot of chocolate milk to enjoy. Fishermen who live off fishing have nothing to worry about, they will have plenty of chocolate milk. They will be in the business of chocolate milk for a long time to come.
How they elect these morons to congress is bewildering. To read the story about this clown click here.
While we are on that oil spill subject matter, some are suggesting that it is British Petroleum striking back at those responsible for the tea party. So the British are finally getting even.
Anyway no matter how you look at it, it is a frightening man-made disaster. I suppose the new slogan for McCain and Palin will be "Spill Baby Spill".
