BP Says Oil Spill is Tiny

The CEO of BP told a British newspaper that the oil flow in the Gulf is ‘relatively tiny’ in a big ocean. Perhaps he hasn’t looked at satellite images. Or maybe there is a language barrier since he’s British. Oh…but wait, they speak English, too.

On a lighter note, the same guy told the newspaper that BP would fix it. He guaranteed it…but didn’t know when. I’m sure that’s a great relief to the residents of the Gulf Coast…humans and wildlife included.

Maybe we all need a dose of whatever this executive is huffing.

Lines from a Jefferson Airplane song written by Grace Slick come to mind: One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don’t do anything at all…..When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, and the white knight is talking backwards and the Red Queen’s ‘Off with her head”…..

I have two simple questions: 1) Do the BP officials think the American public is stupid? 2) Do they think we’re all in a drugged stupor?
