An Unnatural Disaster

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the latest disaster to result from an unholy alliance of government and giant corporations.

Documents Show Earlier Worries About Safety of Rig

BP's indifference to safety is beginning to sound depraved.

An Unnatural Disaster

Ain't it about money? How much do politicians get? I would like to think there were mostly Republicans who have hemmed and hawed about the debacle in the Gulf, but the Dems can't be ignored as beneficiaries as well. And let's not forget the Supreme Court and it's decision to treat corporations as human beings in regards to free speech. Are we all from Alabama? Thank you Mr. Herbert for your column today, but I fear that it will hardly be noticed in the halls of the White House or the Congress. The Louisiana congressman caught with $90,000 in his refrigerator has nothing on the above.

Give Them Something They Can Feel

When it comes to the BP oil spill, President Obama should show more emotion and less reserve.

Give Them Something They Can Feel

Equating reserve with incompetence is ludicrous. It is reserve that allows an individual to maintain focus on the task at hand. Visceral emotion however normally indicates a going-off-half-cocked response. It would be this observer's guess therefore that you, Mr. Blow, are not as intelligent as you present yourself.

‘Top Kill’ Fails to Plug Leak; BP Readies Next Approach

BP said that its latest attempt to stop the oil well was unsuccessful, and the effort was being scrapped in favor of yet another maneuver to stem the flow spreading into gulf waters.

Documents Show Earlier Worries About Safety of Rig

Internal documents show that BP had serious problems and safety concerns with Deepwater Horizon far earlier than was described in its preliminary findings presented to Congress.

There is nothing further the president can or should do about the run away well.

There is a great deal to be done about the MMS.
