Increasingly it seems like the "BIG PLAN" is to keep pretending like BP knows what its doing, until the World Cup Starts and becomes the main headline....
ReplyDeleteeventually they will default to plan x and nuke the thing.
ReplyDeletethe daily show already beat them to it. the upside is the earth is still filled with a lot of fucking oil.
ReplyDelete@rb Yeah, I've kind of come to terms with the fact that there is no plan... really depressing but neither bp or obama seems to even pretend that some of this stuff can work.
ReplyDelete@6.54 Still can't believe the national review wrote an article actually suggesting that option. Jesus.
@anon oh man I missed that, thats brilliant.
