3.We have a plan to deal with any spill.
4.We have adequate safety measures for the crew.
5.We couldn't have foreseen this disaster.

(I know there are many more but I leave you to fill in the blanks.)
So like a used car salesmen at the end of the month or a congressmen before an election BP will try and feed their captive audience the highest grade of BS that their spin doctors can muster along with $50 million for the ad campaign.
So today's question boy and girls is (and sorry it's one of those math word problems that we all hate): If you have a 21 inch pipe gushing up 19,000 barrels per day and you partially cap it with a 6 inch pipe how many barrels could you expect to collect? This is assuming you ignore BP incompetence. Hint: It's not 10,600 barrels.

21, this will cost the tax payer nothing, we will make this right and take care of those who lost their livelihood. F them they will!
They led the consortium behind the Exxon Valdez. We saw how long they kept that going until the people settled for a pittance and they will do the same here.
Perhaps President Obama could borrow these "talking Points".
Sometimes I think no one is paying attention. This might stick if repeated enough,oh wait that's Fox.
That was absolutely hilarious when I heard that they were capturing/ salvaging alomost 11K barrel's a day .... after remembering the start that they said about a thousand per day were pouring into the Gulf .... great posting on this subject! :)
I know this isnt a laughing matter .... but when they announced how much just yesterday they were getting/ recovering (11K, and that isnt even all of it) I couldnt help busting out laughing, because of how full of shit these folk's really are!
