So we get to watch the entire Gulf Coast slowly destroyed while BP fingers its own asshole.

Do you guys remember back in the late 80s, or maybe early 90s, when the COO of Exxon was kidnapped by a couple, shot in the arm in the driveway of his mansion, put into a small coffin-like wooden box and stashed in a U-Rent-It for several days. He got to spend 3 days suffering horrible pain, laying in his own shit and piss, until he finally died alone in that box. The bumbling kidnappers were my heroes then (I don't forget Exxon Valdez) and I believe it is high time someone emulated that plan with the current BP upper managerment.
That's pretty insane if that's the case on it being against the law for the govt to step in. I don't have a clue how they can possibly justify doing nothing while BP obviously can't fix it.

As far as the other thing.. I'm quite certain this kind of major disaster will be enough to set off some of a crazies in the various environmentalist movements. Nothing wrong with protecting the environment mind you but some of those guys are fruit cakes.
