BP's Stock

BP's stock has gone into the tank.  BP's credibility is less than zero.

And the flow goes on
It is Friday afternoon and BP just announced that the current flow of oil into the Gulf is double  that earlier estimated.  And you know something, that is just what I predicted would happen.  I read their lips correctly, they were lying. And you know something else?  It would not surprise me at all if, come another week or two, BP will make another announcement that the flow of oil previously announced appears to be double that announced today.  BP's stock has gone into the tank.  BP's credibility is less than zero.  I cannot understand why our government hasn't someone qualified to go to the scene of the crime and measure just how much oil is gushing into the Gulf. BP"s president sold off a third of his BP stock earlier this month.  He is still enjoying that fantastic raise he received for the way he cut back costs last year and he has a tidy bonus in his pocket too.  When I put a few of these facts together I get a slimy feeling all over at the needless deaths of those BP workers and the humungus destruction of lives and of nature caused by a combination of unsafe attitudes, unsafe actions and the continuing propaganda that went along with these underwater wells for so long.  I don't doubt that they were safe but somehow with irresponsible leadership, politically inspired government failures at oversight and no doubt, mountains of corruption BP and our government has managed to screw the whole thing up far beyond anyone's imagination.

Now as President Obama postures with a bullhorn in hand saying he is looking for the right ass to kick I suggest he start with his own and then work his way up and down the halls of the senate, congress and then keep on kicking those millions of bureaucrats and payola experts who keep our government malfunctioning. It is time for a good ass kicking all around. 

Remember people, safety pays.  Unsafety can destroy the world.  

Say Something Good
Flag Day.Call me an old f-f-f-f-ellow but I still get choked up at a parade when the flag goes by. Difficult as it is I still stand at attention and put my hand on my heart.  I might even unconsciously toss off a brisk salute.  Like so many before me, I fought to preserve that liberty that we enjoy.  When I hear some younger than I complain about the shortcomings of this nation I silently ask this question.."What have you done in your lifetime to make this a better nation and to help preserve our liberty?" Why do I suspect that those who gripe the loudest have done the very least.  Indeed, freedom is not for free.  I've seen too many dead or wounded carried off the battle field to believe that.  I have shared hospital wards with too many other wounded soldiers to be that naive.

Today is Flag Day.  I challenge every reader to put out their flag or go out and buy one and hang it proudly and then, somehow, some way do something to make this an even better America.  May God bless America and keep our troops from harm.

Quote of the Week
Especially today as we fight the war on terror - against an enemy that represents hatred, extremism and stands behind no flag - we need to remember the sacrifices that have gone into protecting our flag. Bill Shuster
