Man that fajtijose reall has panties in awad about BP. Maybe some unabbounced axe to grind.

BP seems to have had a bad rep for safety, but they do now seems to be busting their butt to fix this mess. Betcha next Pet Engineer suggests saving a Grand on cement will find a PHI helo headed to pick him up for the last ride to shore.

Gulf Oil Spill: BP Trying To Hide Millions of Gallons of Toxic Oil?

I use Mozilla and had no problems at all. Actually the first result was an article from The Daily Kos which did suprise me.

Let’s give them the boot forever as punishment for their gross negligence and stupidity in the Gulf of Mexico.

Not just that, but because they're an incorrigible safety and environmental recidivist that's colluded with Obama in a massive bribery/improper influence conspiracy.

Over the last three years they've run up a safety/environmental record that's many times worse than any other major oil company.

At the time of the blowout they were on probation for two major environmental/safety crimes. The first was a felony BP pled guilty to in 2007, resulting in three years probation, based on its deliberate recklessness that led to the explosion of its Texas City, TX refinery, which occurred in 2005, killing 15 people. Then, in 2006, its negligent maintenance of an oil pipeline in Alaska led to a massive spill and a misdemeanor conviction in 2007 that also carried three years of probation.

It was serving both probations when Obama granted it carte Blanche to do the Deep Water Horizon drilling, almost assuredly because he was bribed by BP.

If there's ever been a corporatist criminal that ought to be banned from the U.S, it's BP. Obama, of course, ought to be impeached, convicted, and removed from office because of the BP bribery, and then jailed.

For years I have relied on "WebFerret" for my searches. WebFerret searches out several other search engines. I heard on a radio broadcast recently that Google was tied directly to NSA. I paid for my copy of WebFerret, but you can download it for FREE at: See CNET download for WebFerret

Google is a commercial enterprise. Speech isn't necessarily free on their turf.

Media fail repeatedly to mention the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 giving POTUS complete responsibility for immediate action in cleaning up an oil spill

What you say is true. But facts are boring if they don’t cause people to panic. If they panic, they buy newspapers which have ads selling laundry detergent.

So, they just ‘twist’ the facts.

I heard that a**hole say that too last night, and wanted to throw a brick at his lying face.

Didn’t Rush tell us that we could overwhelm the limit of the paid links because there are limits on the purchse? So, if thousands of people all go to the internet and click on the BP linked site, by noon we could open up the search to real links, again. It could only be done through a Rush recommendation or the equivalent, though.
