#1 Sometimes I'm ashamed I live in Alabama, They have enough brainy folks, but not any of the politicians qualify.

They seem oblivious that any AWARD will be paid by themselves in increased fuel costs, about ten times over.

Talk about a Polish Firing Squad.

#2 This was a disaster. It is not clear whether or not BP was negligent. If it was, it should compensate others for their losses. This is fair and it serves as a lesson to the other oil companies. That's how companies are incented to do things properly. I wouldn't mind seeing the evidence in court as opposed to the MSM's version, which is all we have now.

#3 And of course with the government tripping over itself in a big media response we get a magnified episode of the usual behavior. Got to justify their existence. It won't matter whether BP was in the wrong or not. Just like the insurance companies that got hammer by another judge who engage in 'social justice' by tagging them to pay for what everyone knows is flood damage during Katrina to homeowners who didn't have flood insurance.
