"Probe, Baby, Probe!"
“ It’s news to YOU ! "
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If you suspect that you are being lied to by BP, you are right. BP has 'misunderestimated' the flow
rate from Day One and it has refused to allow independent experts into the leak
zone to take measurements that will give the lie to BP's corporate bullshit and
stonewalling game.
Let's look at the chart...
BP's "estimate" of the daily flow of oil into the Gulf started at 5,000 gallons a day. Today, BP claims it is 210,000 gallons and that they are siphoning off about 40% of the leaking oil. But, that percentage is based on their estimate, which is total bullshit.
Independent experts have put the total between 840,000 to a MILLION gallons per day. Thus, even if they are capturing 40% of the oil, it would mean that there is still about 400,000 gallons leaking toward Florida, Key West and via the Loop Current into the Gulf Stream Current and up the Eastern Seaboard.
President Obama will
initiate the Commission Kabuki Dance Ritual
today by appointing a "Blue
Ribbon" Commission
to study WTF happened and how to avoid repeating it.
What he should do is:
* Fire "Kowboy" Ken Salazar, his Interior Secretary
who
has been on the job nearly 4 months and has only just discovered
"Find anything in the Interior yet, Ken?"
the cozy relationship between his Minerals Management Service and the Oil industry.
Four months and about 12 million gallons of
oil too late, he has suddenly decided to separate the part of his MMS that
awards approvals from the part that collects the royalties. Here's you last check Ken and "keep the
change." MEMO TO KOWBOY KEN: Plead incompetence.
* Tell BP that they are operating in our
backyard and that they WILL allow anybody he says to go anywhere they like a
the spill scene.
* Tell his Attorney General, who has been busy
defending the Federal government's "right" to continue the torture procedures
of the Cheney-Bush regime, to make prosecuting the bribe takers in the U. S.
government agencies that allowed BP to create this horrific environmental
disaster.
And, Mr. Attorney General take an exhaustive, probing proctological look
up the roiling rectum of BP's CEO "Wayward" Heyward,
who
recently called the disaster
"small" and "tiny." (He smiles like he might enjoy it.)
MEMO TO HEYWARD:
If the Gulf Stream delivers your spilled oil to the shores of the British Isles, will you tell your fisherman that it is "small" or "tiny" disaster?
Oh, and while you
still have your latex gloves on, Mr. Attorney General, ask Mr. Chris "Oinky" Oynes to bend over for a look
see...
"Oinky" was the top official overseeing the offshore oil and drilling for the
Salazar's shop. Mr. Oynes just announced
his retirement; maybe charge him with gross oversight?
And, here is a hint for the Commission: it was (drum roll; act surprised)...
Dick Cheney and his secret energy Task Farce of Oil Barons
who
reversed the previous regulations in 2003 that allowed BP to take a shit in the
Gulf.
So, before we let BP blow sunshine up our skirt, let's remember that they have been secretive and
evasive about the scope of the disaster.
Oh, Mr. Heyward...time for your daily tar ball probe!
Mr. President, send
the Justice Department to investigate these planet killers and tell them to...
"Probe, baby,
probe!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
