Why aren’t those three yahoos who “testified?” before Congress, and repeatedly pointed fingers at each other without accepting any culpability now in court attempting to save their own skins? It doesn’t appear that they are doing much of anything else at the moment. And I think we know enough regarding their conceit and negligence to prosecute. So, let’s do it. If we wait until the cleanup is complete, they will be dead of old age.
Do they sleep well at night? If not, it’s probably because of thoughts of lost revenue, not because of remorse of the ruination they have visited upon our Planet. Their total immersion in the Corporate Mentality prevents them from understanding the gravity of the situation into which they have thrust us. As usual, as history has shown us over and over with the corporate harvesting of every other natural resource, their concern is with removing every single barrel of oil the Gulf has to offer, with no concern for the environmental consequences. We continue to follow the same ideology in our harvesting of the last Old Stand forests around the world; with the result that the landscape is irrevocably destroyed.
I’m angry. Most people with any brains are angry. Mr. President, we need you to get angry too. You are our mouthpiece, and we rely on you to get tough with those responsible and let them know we will not allow this to be swept under the carpet and forgotten. Or forgiven. Put these men in prison, where they belong, and perhaps the rest of the corporate scumbags will be sufficiently rocked as to help them see the light of responsibility and alter their policies of corner-cutting and deceit.
I know that President Obama is noted for his even-temperedness, but it is now time for him express our outrage and disgust. Eleven people died on that rig, and no amount of corporate excuses and backpedaling will alleviate the pain of their loss. BP’s negligence and attempted cover up should be rewarded with commensurate prison sentences. Followed by the rest of the Corporate trash that has driven this country to the brink of destruction. Americans are sickened by the lack of ethics exhibited by Corporate America. We have been repeatedly raped by these “pillars of American business,” and the time has come for them to take their lumps. They are nothing but crooks and assholes who happen to hold the money. Take the money away, put them behind bars and let them rot there. And, if the President doesn’t have the chutzpah to act for us, we must find the means to move for ourselves. Enough is enough.

I have been blogging since 2007. For years I made a few bucks here and there with Adsense and some affiliate sells, but I wasn’t making enough to quit the day job for sure. I tried getting traffic from Adwords, SEO, Yahoo, article marketing, social sites, and even email. The problem was that I just couldn’t get enough traffic to really make anything. Then I found out about a new way to buy traffic for so freaking cheap that it was nuts. I could then send that cheap traffic (for pennies!) to my blogs, get enough sales to realize a 1000% return on my investment, and suddenly my life was changed. I’m banking $300+ on a bad day now, and the future is looking way better. If you’re sick and tired of only getting a handful of visitors to your blog, check this site out. I’m not some stupid foreigner trying to sell crap on DP. This is LEGIT! You will go from a few dozen visitors a day to thousands! —> Blog Traffic Secret
