Watching the antics of the US Coast Guard (affectionately called "our bitch" by BP execs) in the Gulf does not fill one with any optimistic warm and fuzzy feeling that those responsible for this madness will be doing any perp walks... ever. On the other hand, I'm sure they will be arresting and prosecuting to the full extent of the law any clean up workers who might accidentally drop a rubber glove or reporters with the audacity to do their job. I'm told it is all about priorities...
Bummer! But then corporations get the government and laws they pay for... So it goes.
Today's mind boggling news story on the oil front is that there are 27,000 abandoned oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico and while there are laws and regulations that say these are supposed to be plugged and inspected but in actuality are not. Seriously scary stuff.
